What The Hell Happened To Crowfall?

Scopique September 23, 2021

This is kind of a “part two” to my previous post, “Wrong Eggs in Wrong Baskets” because that title implied multiples and I only talked about one game and one situation. I had intended to shoehorn the Saga of Crowfall into that…

Wrong Eggs In Wrong Baskets

Scopique September 23, 2021

I don’t really MMO any more. I used to with alarming frequency, and at one point had been able to call myself primarily an “MMO blogger”, but over time I’ve lost interest in the genre. I have a partial ear to the…

Thoughts on Docker

Scopique September 20, 2021

It’s been a few days since I started learning Docker. This Tweet pretty much sums up where I am now. This course that I picked up on Udemy, “Docker Mastery: with Kubernetes +Swarm from a Docker Captain“, is about 19 hours long,…

{Insert Generic Catch-All Title Here}

Scopique September 17, 2021

You know, when it’s been long enough between posts that many low-level topics are vying for attention in my head, the best I can do is write one of these grab-bag posts and give them each a short turn at the microphone.…

Scopique August 17, 2021

ReactJS – Handling Intercomponent Communication

Scopique August 11, 2021

Once you boil it down, React isn’t a super-complicated development platform. It uses Javascript, which as been around for about as long as the Web has and is damn near ubiquitous. A React component is just a function that can be called…

How Much Is a Voice Worth?

Scopique August 5, 2021

Friends, I am having trouble writing this post, which means if you see it, it’s probably a poorly written missive that only digs deep enough to allow me to call it “content”. Something that’s always on my mind is the value of…

ReactJS – Custom Hooks for Searching

Scopique July 29, 2021

Most of what I do in my day job involves searching data. As I work for a data-focused company, my primary responsibility revolves around putting a nice face on the ugly body of data storage. Some folks can access the database directly…

Palpable Tension

Scopique July 20, 2021

I’m just writing to report that I am still mired in that weird space between not caring much about any new game that is scheduled to drop, and being faced with several cases where new games or updates to games are scheduled…
