Missed Connections: Fun Versus Desire

Scopique August 19, 2022

I like to think of myself as a fairly well-balanced person when it comes to my entertainment. I don’t generally become obsessed with any kind of media; I like some content more than others, yes of course, but I’m not usually one…

A Spaceship-Shaped Hole: X4 Foundations

Scopique July 20, 2022

The Star Citizen lifecycle is far too predictable. As this is my “main game” these days, I am particularly beholden to the way that the Moon that is this project ebbs and flows the oceans of my interest. The scenario always goes…

Starfield

Scopique June 15, 2022

This is a wildly condensed version of a post I had written this morning. You’re welcome. Starfield is the one thing I had wanted to see out of the spate of “not-E3” presentations of last week. As a sci-fi fanatic and an…

Tales of Tribute – A DCCG for Non-DCCG Folks

Scopique June 8, 2022

Elder Scrolls Online is surely in my top five favorite MMOs of All Time. I have played Elder Scrolls games since the days of Daggerfall, and heading back to ESO regardless of how long I’ve been away is always painless (except when…

What Happens At Invictus 2952 Stays at Invictus 2952

Scopique May 25, 2022

Invictus Fleet Week is one of the annual “event-slash-fundraisers” that happens in Star Citizen. While most of the ships are available in various pledge forms year-round, only some appear during these seasonal events. At the very top of the list are the…

KTFBot for Discord – Vengeance Tracker for your Online Group

Scopique May 9, 2022

A few days ago I was playing Star Citizen and in the middle of a “bunker delivery” mission. For these, I have to travel to a planetary location, infiltrate an underground bunker, and find three crates. While there, I need to help…

Snake Oil: Web3

Scopique April 8, 2022

I have just finished watching a video presentation at the JS Game Dev Summit, and it has left me 1/3 angry, 1/3 sad, and 1/3 plain old disappointed in the future of gaming. As you might assume from the title of this…

Update on the Quest 2

Scopique February 23, 2022

It’s been a few weeks since I got the *ahem* Meta Quest 2 *ahem*, so here’s a bit of an update in long form about how it’s been going. Upgrading the Experience Out of the box, I didn’t have any real issues…

Lone Echo – Gameplay in Progress

Scopique February 5, 2022

I had two choices: continue playing Lone Echo on the Quest 2 or write about Lone Echo. I did both. In Lone Echo (from PS stalwarts Ready at Dawn), you play the role of “Jack”, an ECHO series android playing second fiddle…

My VR Renaissance

Scopique January 28, 2022

I have been doing a lot of non-gaming stuff recently; 3D modeling, working on a D&D campaign, napping. After blazing through Horizon: Zero Dawn I didn’t feel that I wanted to start a whole new game, although I tried restarting Control (didn’t…
