The language one uses when writing, while not perfectly accurate, is a good indicator of how one carries themselves in real conversation with strangers. Repeated usage of phrases like "Google Spy Device" isn't indicative of s

I don't know why people pay for cable or Netflix when the best three-ring circus exists in the form of Silicon Valley. Related to discussion, Japan actually has something in this vein where you can book an appointment with someone and

Funny you should mention lobsters; while it doesn't happen as often as it does here, that site also likes to bash us on our collective noggins that $internetThing is bad and spying on us as if we didn't get it. Probably the only r

"dude lol just find a [good] mentor" Please stop dropping this empty-yet-well-meaning line - you're not the only one in this field who does this, either. I understand that it's not with ill intentions, but it's a fe

I could keep playing shooters for as long as my hands could hold out as I aged, but all of the new ones are so bad. The last shooter that I saw that wasn't a student project/impeccably tiny indie venture and actually managed to ca

What kind of headphones do you have? Is it some crummy gamer brand headset like Audio Technica, Corsair, Steelseries, etc.? It's not like Overwatch has a lot of sound nuance, but CS does, so I'd recommend against not wearing some

You don't. One thing I've noticed is that mentorship is one of those things people like to toss about as well-meaning advice, but it's an empty suggestion more than anything else. Realistically, what you can do is make an eff
