One of my favorite games of all time is Earthbound: Mother 2. The game was made for the SNES, coming out a few years before I was even alive. Fundamentally it’s about a kid leaving home and trying to heal the twisted, zany world around him – and, of course, making friends along the way. […]

Hypeddit Review: Worth It for Musicians?
As an independent artist, you’re responsible for both your creative output and online presence. This is an axiom in the modern music industry and one you should remember for the time being.
