A well-built, comfortable gaming keyboard, a speedy mouse, and a dedicated set of…
Anthem Was A Mistake, But It Didn’t Deserve To Die Like This
Last week, BioWare announced that Anthem, the studio’s ill-advised loot shooter from 2019, would finally be sunset on January 12, 2026.

AI Didn’t Kill Web Design —Templates Did It First
Let’s get one thing out of the way: AI is not the villain of web design.

Building the ‘Twilight’ Lego set was the therapy session I didn’t know I needed
I have something to admit upfront before we get into this. And don’t come for me in the comments, please. I’ve only seen the first Twilight film, so I can’t really say that I’m a true fan. For what it’s worth, I really enjoyed that movie. Especially that scene where Bella struggles to use a…
