Hyperinflation, institutionalized blackouts, endless gasoline queues, cash shortages, an accentuated collapse of utilities and public infrastructure—these are all but some of the problems that have plagued Venezuela for around a decade now, none of them are new yet they’ve been exacerbated and dialed to eleven as of late. It is Read more…
The lines lines lines. You love those lines, you shove them straight—straight to my face. The societal and cultural damage that Venezuela has suffered through the past twenty years is almost irreparable. With every new trial and tribulation we’ve lost a bit of whatever normalcy we have left; we’ve adapted Read more…
Bear with me here, publicly talking about myself is still somewhat difficult for me, just trying to get some much-needed catharsis. For the past fourteen months, I’ve been driven by a promise and all my efforts have thus been focused on fulfilling it, pushing for a dream long in the Read more…
It finally happened, didn’t it? You finally quit WoW — you are finally free. It’s no secret that Battle for Azeroth has been an unmitigated disaster from day one and that its shortcomings are numerous: The disappointing Azerite gear system, the slowing down of gameplay, the time gating, the endless Read more…
