Matthew McConaughey is drawing a line in the sand. As AI gets more powerful, he’s trademarking his name, voice, and likeness to stop unauthorized clones. A fascinating moment in the fight for digital identity. #AI #MatthewMcConaughey

Switch 2 out at the beach.

Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.

after flying back from Vegas last week, I was just laid off from Inverse today. I'm open to connecting over email at [email protected] and I'm definitely still in the writing and editing space. Expect a more in-depth explanation coming soon in my Updater newsletter. shannonliao.substack.com

Chairs have been around for centuries. AI hasn’t. What both reveal says a lot about responsibility and intention. My first article of 2026 is live. The problem isn’t AI. Hear me out.

February 27, 2020 marked a big day for me as a returning gamer, and June 12, 2025 will be the next. :-) Before 2020 my last console was an Xbox 360! #Nintendo #YearinReview #2025

This year I’m not supporting any NFL team during the playoffs. History shows that whoever I root for loses. So for the good of the league, I’m stepping aside. Let’s see what happens. #NFL #Playoffs #SuperBowlLX

I dissect each year of this flawed-yet-fascinating piece of hardware to come up with a flawed-yet-fascinating conslusion as to when the Wii U reached its peak. If you were a Nintendo fan between 2012-2016, you’re going to want to read this one!

Chairs... that's all I'm going to say. Stay tuned! It was supposed to be an exclamation mark 😅

I will be writing more soon! Specially the Grammar Through Video Game Section! Stay tuned!

I only revisit Twitter to see what’s happening in the world or to catch some news. Since I mute a lot of the nonsense, I can navigate it without being too exposed to the noise. I like it here better. The sky is so blue! #skyte #skytes @bsky.app

My Body is Ready! #Nintendo

Took my son out for a train ride over to Los Trailers in Bayamon. We both start school tomorrow, so we needed to unwind a bit. Our Switch 2's kept us company! What game am I playing?

Hey hey, I'm Prof. Rock! Teacher by day, gamer by night. I blend #education with #retro and modern #gaming—think #Pokemon, #Zelda, #SimCity, #StardewValley, and anything with heart. Blogging about #EdTech, #grammar through games, & good vibes. Let’s chat! #Skytes #EduSky

My son got a $25 Visa gift card over the holidays. I asked what he was planning to buy. He looked at me and said, “In this economy? I don’t think $25 buys anything anymore.” 😅

Just hanging out and listening to music! www.youtube.com/live/6yhfnnn...

As the years go by, I believe that more people are moving to watching on #YouTube instead of #Twitch. That’s why the score is lower than it used to be. They’re still my top guys, you know? It could be higher, but I’m more on YouTube. @bob.thewulffden.com @beatemupswood.bsky.social

You can also wishlist games over on @dekudeals.com!

More #beach fun! #PuertoRico

Here’s to 2026, the year Concord Deluxe Definitely Edition finally releases. I’ve waited so long I’m starting to think the deluxe part was the delay.

Here we go! #Beach #PuertoRico

Hey everyone, hope you're all enjoying the end of the year. Just a heads up... I might start posting a bunch of beach photos soon. Closing out the year by the water with the family is kind of our thing. 🌊😎 #EduSky

Happy to inform you that my Substack is back! profrockpr.substack.com

I didn’t expect to feel this way, but losing access to my Substack feels like grieving. I worked hard on those posts and suddenly they’re just gone. I’m not angry, just sad. It’s strange how losing your words can feel like losing a part of yourself.

This year is ending on a rough note with the Substack situation, so I’m hoping to end it with something positive. Trying to reach at least 500 followers before the year is over. If you enjoy my posts about education, games, and writing, a follow would mean a lot. #Skytes

I started the substack a year ago. Got up to 75 subscribers, and people were engaging and sharing my posts. I guess if this doesn't get resolved, I will have to go elsewhere. #EduSky #Blog #Writer

I can’t believe how messy the #Substack suspension process is. No warning, no chance to explain myself, just “you’re suspended.” I’ve seen way worse stuff stay up online, yet sharing a harmless link gets me locked out with zero communication. It’s dumb and honestly exhausting.

So... I think I need a tutorial to understand the Stardew Valley update for gameshare. Kinda buggy. I have a phantom house. 😅

#Beach #PuertoRico during #Winter. Enjoy! #EduSky

I always forget that some games were actually released on December 25. New Play Control for Pikmin in 2008, followed by Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter in 2013. Kinda wild to think studios picked today for launching anything at all. #Skytes #Gaming #Nintendo #Pikmin #Pokemon

Just found out my #Substack is suspended because I shared a raffle and didn’t know that wasn’t allowed. Already sent an appeal and hoping it gets resolved soon. I really want to get back to writing.

This is what happens when you are bored on winter vacation. Sorry @reginathecat.bsky.social #Cats #BlueSkyCats

"High-end consoles such as the Xbox Series X retail for around $650, while the PlayStation 5 Pro is priced around $750, according to company announcements."

Watching The LEGO Batman Movie with my son right now. Slowly indoctrinating him in the ways of the Dark Knight. Parenting done right. 🦇🖤

@kumail.bsky.social You made me look up what CVS stand for! 🤣

Hello Monday. I’m off since it’s winter break! No need to wake up at 6 a.m.! Even though I arguably did.

We should all be able to look at the ocean on Sunday before we go back to work. Do y'all agree? #PuertoRico #Skytes #Ocean

Yoshi's Story (1997) Released December 21, Yoshi’s Story landed on N64 with storybook visuals, cheerful music, and a softer take on platforming. Short, sweet, and very different from what people expected at the time. #Nintendo64 #Yoshi #RetroGaming #OnThisDay #Skytes

Pilotwings (1990) On December 21, Pilotwings took off on the Super Nintendo. Calm, technical, and surprisingly challenging, this was Nintendo showing that flying could be relaxing and educational at the same time. A true SNES classic. #SNES #Pilotwings #RetroGaming #OnThisDay #Skytes

Tank Troopers (2016) Released on December 21, Tank Troopers brought arcade-style tank battles to the 3DS. Colorful visuals, local multiplayer, and pure pick-up-and-play energy. A fun reminder of Nintendo experimenting late into the 3DS era. #Nintendo #3DS #OnThisDay #Skytes

This felt like I was talking to myself! I agree with everything said in this article.
