Maybe Your 'Pile Of Shame' Is A Problem
15.4.2021
Because everything has gone to shit and very few new games are coming out—look at you, you’re all playing Outriders for God’s sake—we’re going to be spending the month looking at backlogs, aka the games we own but haven’t played. And I would like to start that month by saying that anyone using...

The time had finally come for me to check out id Software’s unapologetic 2011 Mad Max ripoff Rage, and true to its reputation, I spent the first couple hours just trying to get it to run smoothly like a game built on a normal engine.

Nested Media Queries
9.2.2021
We don’t have “regular” nesting in CSS. Maybe this becomes a thing someday, or something like it. That would be cool, although that pre-spec doesn’t mention anything about media queries. I’d hope we get that right out of the gate …

There is No Normal
12.12.2020
This year I learned, or relearned maybe, that “normal” is subjective at best, and pretty misleading otherwise. If this forsaken year has taught us anything, it’s that there is no such thing as normal. Things change. People adapt. Everything is relative to everything else.
