My agency prefers to work on time and materials rather than fixed bid contracts, though we have also tried some fixed bid projects. They both have pros and cons. The advantage of time and materials is you always get paid in full for your

Vice City is by far my favorite GTA game and every few years I spin it up for a bit on my old PS2. They've moved the series more towards some kind of realism since then, but I love the arcade like qualities of Vice City and GTA 3. Th

A lot of the crypto culture is IMO not counter-culture, but almost "hyper-culture". Crypto lives on hype. Most rhetoric used by the likes of Do Kwon is focused around building hype for their particular brand of crypto, hoping to

Make a very small scope game first. Start with Pong or Breakout or the like, with your own slight twist (can be as simple as adding some unique colors). Keep it so simple that you can easily accomplish it. Then make a slightly larger scal
