10 Years Later, 2016 VR Still Feels Peak

January 09, 2026 /
I still remember where I was the night preorders went live for the Oculus Rift on January 6th, 2016. I'd spent the whole day following news and community posts whenever there was a spare moment at work. I'd watched the preorder numbers go up with anxiety, fearing if I waited too long, I'd end up weeks behind the first shipments. The $600 price tag revealed at the time was quite the sticker shock, given the then-steep PC requirements to go along with it. But as I sat in my chair, contemplating my decision, ...

2025 has proven to be the best of times and the worst of times for gamers. While AI and live service shenanigans usher in worse products at higher prices, some truly cool tech has still managed to hit the market. Buried somewhere in my Reddit comment history nearly a decade ago, I once predicted that handheld PCs would be the spiritual successor to the PlayStation Vita, that devoid of a second form factor, Sony would publish their games on PC, and that Halo would arrive on PlayStation in some form before ...

If you're operating a web server in 2024, two things are almost certain: one, you are managing it via a popular control panel, and two, you want to serve your content over HTTPS. A third is likely also a given: you want to save money. While Webmin may be a bit long-in-the-tooth these days, it's still a common control panel of choice for administrators willing to trade flashy interfaces for something a little more basic and free. And coupled with Virtualmin, it even feels relatively modern, with nearly all ...

Everyone Forgot this Game, But it Deserves to be Remembered

Remember Me, I owe you an apology. Terrifying as it is, we've now reached the point where I can cover the 10th anniversary of games I reviewed at launch on this very site. Sometimes, as with the case of Tomb Raider: Underworld, a decade of personal growth can give fresh perspective on narrative decisions that challenged my comprehension at the time. But when reconsidering 2013's Remember Me, perhaps it's not so much me that's changed as it is the world in which I experienced it. Time & Place To be ...

To Moderate, or Not to Moderate: that is NOT the Question

September 29, 2022 /
"Do not try and win the debate. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: that there is no debate." Growing up in the 1990s was both a blessing and a curse. The world had never been so creative, so carefree, and so technologically advanced. Hey, don't laugh! We might not have had smartphones, but we had PDAs, and there was more in common than you might think. The internet was new and full of infinite possibilities, and humanity wasted no time beginning to realize its potential. It was an ...
