The Breaking Point

Not to be too personal, and with names censored due to this being the internet, but I think I might be ready to be done working for the company that I’m at. I told myself in January, that something had to change. Something big needed to change, or happen, because...

Too Tired To Game?

Back in 2000, 2005, 2010, I used to get off of work, and I’d game for hours. I’d spend every second I could pushing forward in whatever game I was working through. That, most definitely goes for games like Mass Effect, or the next expansion in World of Warcraft. I’d...

Dexter: Original Sin Is A Redemption

Re: You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism

This post is in response to a post made by Janus Rose over at 404 Media. A website I mostly respect, and like to see every so often. But, when writers and journalists start talking about social media, and opposition to fascism, you have to take into account their own...

The Time To Leave Reddit Was Two Years Ago

Two years ago, Reddit decided to follow in the footsteps of Twitter (and Elon Musk), and restricted access to its API, allowing usage mostly only to those who paid for it (aside from small personal-use projects).

Music Questions Challenge!

So, I was tagged by @shellsharks@malici.ous.computer (you can visit the post on his own site that he references, here) on the Fedi to answer some questions about music! This is new to me, because, I was mostly unaware that there’s some kind of blog challenge thing that goes around every...

Brain Too Thought For Sleep

I haven’t written anything on here in a few days, not since I wrote up nine guides for budding web developers, and then promptly returned to work to be exhausted and run through the grinder of the grind. And, with one day left til my “weekend,” I got a little...
