The trials and tribulations of a man that just wanted to play vidya gaems.
And thus here we stand, two weeks after Venezuela went through the worst blackout in its history. We still do not have an official and formal explanation of what happened; Maduro’s regime has adhered to the ‘Cyber and Electromagnetic attack’ buzzword narrative that places the blame on America, Donald Trump, Read more…
There really isn’t a dull moment in Venezuela; in my previous post I mentioned an unsustainable “Snapshotted reality” and how everything seemed to be stuck and unable to move forward. I’ve also mentioned in the past how we can’t say “Well it can’t get any worse” because it can, and Read more…
Note: This post was meant to go online before the two long blackouts that took place in Venezuela, so with that in mind I suppose that it didn’t aged well lmao. March of 2019 is upon us; I don’t know if it’s just me but this year is certainly going Read more…
Venezuela has been going through a bizarre and excruciatingly long “calm before the storm” period all throughout February.
