  • Windows 8 being released as it was, was the death knoll period for how things are treated based on what platform. It was obvious where the focus shifted. Since then, websites started being designed with mobile in mind, that barely worked. We’re having all of these dumb virtual services that work optimally - on phone. We have apps that would’ve been great to also have desktop only work on - you guessed it - phones.

    Programs are now called Apps. I think troubleshooting on mobile is perhaps one of the most frustrating and hopeless experiences one can have. When something just breaks, it could very well be anything and your phone is faster to being obsolete than your desktop would.

    Where the hell did we go wrong?


















  • I am reluctant to re-visit Half-Life 2 and its episodes. Simply because they were great games for their time and overall classics. I just remember in Episode 2, looking back longingly at the devastated City 17 when you launched the rocket in episode 1. How much reflection I did about the series I completed and the episodes I would complete after.

    It was an experience going through those games all the way the first round, recalling all of the hype, the memes, the talks and so much build up. Revisiting it now for me would just be rewriting those memories over.

    The Messenger is another. Really loved that game for what it was. It had so much charm to it.
