It’s Like Moving In All Over Again Monday nights are our usual get-together nights around here. We sometimes gather together in person, or online if we’re A) sick, B) lazy, or C) all of the above. Last night the group was gearing…

Our Opinions Matter: Consumers and Corporate Bickering

Scopique March 5, 2020

Weekend Update, 2020 Leap Day Edition

Scopique March 2, 2020

Shadow.Tech Remote Game Streaming

Scopique December 27, 2019

With all the opinions floating around regarding upstart game delivery systems like Google Stadia and Microsoft’s Project xCloud, it’s easy to overlook Shadow.Tech, a streaming service that’s been around for a few years and which actually offers the kind of experience that…

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…
