Apologies for the long time between blog posts; I've been busy producing Ghost Recon Breakpoint content, working at my day job, and planning out my next redesign. Speaking of day jobs, I want to share one critical thing every aspiring web/front-end designer should know, and know well: Pseudo classes. Working in large platforms (CMSes and […]
I've known Steve Bohnstedt for years; I first met him when I worked at the Quincy Herald Whig, where he was a photographer. He's incredibly passionate about his work, and talented, to boot. After I left the Whig to go work for another part of the Quincy Media company, I ended up working with him […]
I know, I know. I previously wrote about doing dev work under WSL, and you still can. In fact, my primary development machine is a Windows 10 laptop running a (WS)LAMP stack for my PHP front-end development. Sometimes Apache doesn't quite start properly, so you've got to tell it to restart, but other than that, […]
**UPDATE: More ranging testing has been done with attachments, including a bug with the bipod; watch the video here, or keep reading and watch it in the page** As I wait anxiously for Ghost Recon Breakpoint to become available (Tuesday for me thanks to my rare choice to pre-order, although I'll be waiting until I […]
We live in exciting times, my friends. Working from home isn't impossible; in fact, for some industries, it is a thriving situation to be in. With fewer interruptions, and a work space that you control, you can get more done with less stress. Working from home does take some preparation, however. I've worked from home […]
I recently read an interesting article that posited Windows 11 may run a Linux kernel. If someone had said that to me 5 years ago, I would've laughed in their face and told them to keep dreaming. Why would Microsoft ditch their investment in the NT kernel for Linux? Now, however, I'm thinking there is […]
Modern games from major publishers have been lacking recently. Few choose to take risks on crafting new IP, leaving us with iterations on common formulas to an extreme. Even Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, a game I'm very much looking forward to, is just the love child of Ghost Recon Wildlands and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. When Control […]
I've been playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint's beta, and I've gotta say, the gear system isn't nearly as controversial as people seem to make it out to be. There have been numerous complaints regarding Breakpoint's gear system. People are even going as far as saying it's just another The Division loot shooter. Is there any truth […]
As I get ready to start my new gig, I've been sharing information with Redditors and others on getting a job (specifically in remote, but this applies everywhere). One thing that occurred to me is that a skill I have been lauded for in the past is something that most developers don't realize should be […]
Apologies for the lack of new posts; I'm starting a new job in about a week, and have been working on getting my home office set up. Let's talk about gender in video games. I'm exceedingly excited about Cyberpunk 2077. I'm a big fan of the cyberpunk genre and style; Blade Runner is one of […]
