S.A.D.I. Discord Bot Update

Scopique December 13, 2019

I’ve reached a milestone with the S.A.D.I. Discord bot, so its development is going on hold for the remainder of the year. Database Woes I ended up spending too much time fiddling with the database construct so I kicked it all to…

Of Mechs and Monsters

Scopique December 11, 2019

Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries As a life-long Battletech fan, I was obligated to pick up a copy of Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries yesterday, and to fire it up when I got home from work. Battletech is a universe of large, stompy robot tanks piloted…

Crime and Punishment in Star Citizen

Scopique December 4, 2019

Thanks, @pasmith, for putting us on this path to looking at crime and punishment in Star Citizen. Foreword: Compensation for Lost Goods One of the (many) overarching questions folks have is how Star Citizen will deal with the fact that a ship…

Star Citizen Corporations and a Discord Bot

Scopique November 26, 2019

Sit right back and you’ll hear a tale. A tale of a…stream of consciousness. For a while now I have been contemplating leaving or at maybe downgrading my membership in my Star Citizen corporation. I have to say, they are an amazing…

Star Citizen, Quantum, and a Dynamic Universe

Weekend Milestone: TWO Games Completed!

Scopique November 18, 2019

With the “found money” from the sale of my father’s house, my wife and I decided that it was time to renovate the kitchen, which turned into a need to change the flooring, which morphed into a reason to repaint the first…

The Board Requires Me To Talk About The Outer Worlds

Scopique October 28, 2019

I now have about 10 hours logged in The Outer Worlds, which for me in a single-player game is a lot. I played whenever I could this weekend, and even streamed most of it, and as I write this, I wish I…

Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch

Scopique October 25, 2019

I have seen exactly zero people in my timelines talking about this, so I guess the onus falls to me. Nintendo is really hung up on peripherals and has been since they started making video games. In theory, these add-ons are added-value,…

The Upgrade Game in Star Citizen

Scopique October 23, 2019

I know I’ve said it before, but I am not a “details guy” when it comes to gaming. I contrast this to the Wooly Belghast who seems to be a Destiny savant when it comes to all of the gear which that…
