Byte – The Vine 2.0 That Nobody (Sane) Wanted Or Needed
Remember Vine, that annoying as hell 6 second video sharing service that was big in the early-mid 2010’s, that service that Twitter bought, kept around for a while then killed off in 2016?

I Honestly Can’t Stand What The Gaming Scene / Gaming Culture Has Become
I’ve been a “gamer” my entire life. For clarity, I define “gamer” as simply someone who enjoys video games. While one can refine and sub-divide that (what types of games someone likes, how often they play, to what extent they “care” about the subject) that’s not important here. What is is simply the idea of …
