I am a lazy nerd. And I've been accused of having ADHD on any number of occasions.

Notes Cooking is one of the few places where cheating is acceptable. Cooking should not be difficult, and anything you can do to make it easier is a win. For this purpose, I always keep 2 bags of "soup vegetables with potatoes" in my freezer. This can be conve...

I want to like this DLC. I genuinely do. There are good and bad parts to it, and while the good come close to outweighing the bad, in the end they just don't. Pros: The Shadow Realm is well made and visually pleasing. The new weapons are extremely fun. The sto...

I do hate apple. But sometimes I find myself liking them in spite of my dislike. The hardware issues aside: There's work and there's your life's work. The kind of work that has your fingerprints all over it. The kind of work that you'd never compromise on. Th...

This is Me - Neurodivergence in Tech Most of this is theoretical We simply don't know how most of the brain works. When it does. So during this talk I want you to be asking yourself a single question: Is this me? This is me In April of 2024 I started exercisin...

I get frustrated with development at times. This is the simple development loop: This is rarely the way it works in reality, though I feel people would be surprised exactly what a one-person dev team can pull off. Just look at Stardew Valley. This model above...

So... everyone hates this show. The nerds feel attacked, the non-nerds feel excluded. And yet it ran for 11 seasons and was wildly popular until the end. It reinforced the idea in my head of vocal minorities. Detractors complain. Proponents are silent. The squ...

There was nothing wrong with it. People are just malding nerds who get furious and collectively shit theirself anytime anyone touches one of their precious anime series. It was a good space cowboy opera. And if their royal sweatinesses had stepped outside in t...

Un-dated microblog format. 1: Okay, I get that this game is supposed to be hard, but this is absurd. I cleared the Asylum with little problem, but now I'm getting absolutely butchered by those skeletons in the graveyard. This is completely imbalanced. 2: It s...

don't care what the reviews said. I enjoyed Dark Souls 2. That being said, I understand what the reviews complained about. The difficulty peaked relatively early, and remained fairly static right through to the end. An abudance of summons for every single boss...

I finally finished the first Witcher game now. I'm still not sure why. Since the first Chapter the combat was ridiculously clumsy and repetitive and towards the end of Chapter 5 I was thinking 'Please god let this end already.' The epilogue kind of pulled it b...

In response to a random forum post, with people questioning my train of thought. I do enjoy being referred to as if I'm some sort of naturally occurring catastrophe. "Effex happened." Train of thought insinuates that there's some continuity in my mental proces...

The Art of Cooking Cooking is a personal art, and a requirement for life. If you explore recipes, which I have to at times, you'll run into people insisting that their way of doing something is correct. It may be confirmation bias, but I've noticed this much m...

VR is... good? So far it's a little disorienting at times. My body expects to be moving when my character does, and at first that gave a sort of motion sickness that I wasn't expecting. Teleportation movement types prevented that at times, but felt less immers...

HLA is an amazing tech demo used to deliver a somewhat mediocre game. Don't get me wrong, I'm having a lot of fun with the game, and it's an experience I feel anyone who plays video games should try. A little disclaimer: HLA is pretty much my first VR game. It...

I've always been a fan of Sherlock Holmes, and I'm lucky enough to live in an era where I've been inundated with new interpretations of the old interpretive genius. It's a fascinating thing, really, to see how different creative teams and actors have approache...

I've recently started a VR-based exercise regimen because, like many of us, I don't get enough exercise in my daily routine. I’ve found that combining fitness with gaming is a great motivator for me, especially after having success with the boxing rhythm game ...
