GameDevs Working Against Linux Users For Reasons

If you recently abandoned, or maybe even never used Windows, you might be like me, in that, you don’t get to play the likes of Fortnite, or especially games like Valorant, and Call of Duty. Maybe for some, this is a net positive, or you just don’t care either way....

Tumblr Trying To Squeeze Into ActivityPub

At the news that Tumblr will be “joining” ActivityPub after its migration to Wordpress completes, I have some thoughts. Maybe eight or nine years ago, I would’ve thought, “Oh cool! Now it’ll be easier to see some of my favorite creators and artists on the federated timeline!” And then things...

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

I’ve written about Dexter before. The lackluster ending to the original series, and the only very slightly better, but still lackluster ending to the redo in New Blood that the writer’s attempted. Gonna go full-on spoilers here: The OG series was fine, even after the fourth season, until the writers...

Be Social In Second Life?

I was writing a post this morning about mobile games and whether or not they’ve reach the glass ceiling of actually being worthy of the title “game,” but then I went to work, and twelve hours later … I don’t really feel like writing about that! I mean, it’s in...

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).
