A sad occasion has occurred. Seven years after initially building and upgrading my PC, the system has finally failed. Hours of diagnostics and prodding proved fruitless. My gaming computer has definitely bit the dust. I knew it was coming. The setup was already on its last legs. It's just sad to finally see the day come when it gave up. My desktop has been there for me through thick and thin. But when there's loss, there's room for growth. I'm assembling my new build . There's a lot to consider…

The Mario Kart series is a magical franchise. In the decades since its inception, it has strengthened as many friendships as it has shattered. Despite being a development studio whose audience is primarily children, Nintendo sure has a knack for making the most frustratingly competitive games. Heck, the only games that top Mario Kart in terms of injecting tension into friendships are Super Smash Brothers and Mario Party. Although new entries Mario Kart franchise continue to release, we all have…

Good Sunday, code connoisseurs and CPU celebrators. Depending on your outlook on life, it's that incredible, or maybe not so incredible, time of the week when we welcome the new week with a company of computer programming comedy ! Buckle up, you're in for some meticulously tech-based memes. I admit this every week. I am by no means a programmer. I've dabbled, I've endured the introductory courses, and I've ultimately failed at my previous aspirations of becoming a programmer. That's not meant t…

Good day, daring druids, clever clerics, and rambunctious rangers! It's Friday, and you know what that means. That's right! It's time for a hearty collection of Dungeons & Dragons memes . It's not easy to build a dependable D&D crew. Gathering a handful of individuals for regular multiple-hour sessions requires commitment. But when you succeed, it's beautiful. For my last campaign , we ran a customized version of 3.5. The mix of personalities within our group fit perfectly with the characters w…

We've all been asked about our hobbies in a job interview at one point or another. That is one of those moments in a job interview to show off how well-rounded, unique, and relaxed you are. It's normal to stretch the truth to sound more impressive than you are. If I were to give you one good tip for the hobby question, it would be to include at least one athletic hobby. For some reason, that type of hobby makes you look like you've got your stuff together. It doesn't matter if it's an adult dod…

In what I thought was one of the top ten most profitable franchises of all time, but turns out to be THE most profitable franchise of all time, it’s more than safe to say that we all have been exposed to Pokemon in one way or another. And that’s great! I imagine there’s a lot my current self and my 8-year-old self would disagree on, but I can say we’d get along concerning Pokemon. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and, once you separate yourself from the idea that the core concept of Pokemon is making…

Here's hoping Cal loots 100 new ponchos in Jedi Survivor

On September 30th, 2022, a prophetic tweet was sent into the world. This tweet fundamentally understood children better than any psychiatrist or socialist ever could. That tweet goes as follows: “In 1920 we took children out of the coal mines. In 2020, the most popular video game on the market is minecraft. The children yearn for the mines” - @_patryc_ Minecraft is a game that has roused the attention of children for over ten years. I remember when I was a tween, my friends were obsessed with m…

I'm going to be honest with y'all: I have no idea how to play poker . I have seen it in movies, so I know that getting four aces is optimal and hiding your cards from your fellow players is highly recommended, but other than that, I've got nothing. When I was a kid, my card game of choice was war. War is, on nearly every level, the complete opposite of poker. It has no strategy whatsoever, and that's what I like about it. The outcome of the game is pre-destined. By the time the cards are dealt,…

We're finally back into the groove of football season , which makes me think about how I first got into football. I became a fan at my high school games, soaking up the Friday Night Lights that Texas does best. In college, I moved on to following the antics of the Big 10. Now that I'm an adult, it's about time I settled down with an NFL team. It's so interesting to hear about how different people first got interested in the game. So many of us really came for the vibes: the energy of a football…
