Nailing Infested Bugs, Sick Snow Jumps, and Time Management As Freelancers
Janet and Isaiah talk about what they’ve been playing so far this year, the games they’ve already beaten, and how they’re hoping to tackle games this year (GAMES). Then they go over time strategies they use as full-time freelancers, what routines are easier than others, and how their work life balance has changed (NOT GAMES).
