The Dark And Winding Road – Star Citizen 3.19

Scopique May 17, 2023

3.19 has arrived, but I'm going to sit this one out in favor of 3.20. Solo mining has been nerfed hard as CIG pushes the disproven narrative that "online games should never be played alone". Obviously, I'm not happy right now, but…

Streaming is Rearing Its Ugly Head Again

Scopique May 3, 2023

My shortest post ever! As much as I am trying to come up with excuses to avoid it, I'm still thinking of a VERY low-key streaming schedule. Why? I HAVE NO IDEA! Well...maybe SOME idea.

Competition is Only Good When its Good – Microsoft Loop

Scopique April 8, 2023

I did a pass through Microsoft Loop, a digital note-taking service. A pass-through was all I needed, though, as the service is pretty anemic at this point. It's no Notion, that's for sure, but I hope MS keeps adding to Loop, because…

Update on My Wall of Text on Star Citizen

Scopique March 20, 2023

A follow-up to last week's post. I had a revelation this weekend that put last week's post into perspective, and this post is my attempt to bring that perspective in an attempt to refine my previous points.

My Wall of Text on Star Citizen, March 2023

Scopique March 14, 2023

With the release of 3.18, the state of the game, and the way I feel CIG is presenting the product over time, I am feeling forced to re-evaluate my relationship with Star Citizen. It's been a long road, and a longer road…

I am Tired of Learning

Scopique March 3, 2023

I have spent more time learning than doing, but it's not as simple as "get to work!", knowing how my brain works. "Always be learning" is a great sentiment but can actually lead to "learning burnout".

Social Diaspora – Hive

Scopique November 22, 2022

As Twitter continues to burn, those who held on to hope that a navel-gazing billionaire with far-right leanings would come to his senses seemed to finally admit that now was the time to catch the last lifeboat off of that sinking ship.…

Social Diaspora

Scopique November 4, 2022

As a GenX’er, I’m young enough to be internet savvy, and also old enough to remember when it was difficult to find people who shared similar interests. We were limited to people we met at school, at work, or in the neighborhood,…

Forests for Trees – The A2 Drama

Scopique September 2, 2022

There’s a bit of a dust-up in the Star Citizen community right now surrounding a ship and a fairly well-known streamer who took the ship to task. I admit that I was not on the ground (literally or figuratively) when this whole…

Realms of Possibility

Scopique August 25, 2022

One thing I do miss about going into the office each day is that I tend to spend my limited commute talking to myself about things. It used to be mainly about gaming, which lead to my “In the Car” vlog series…
