  • I went to a top rated engineering school in the US and found the CS program easy. It helped that I enjoyed most of my classes, and that had been teaching myself for years before I got there. I had plenty of free time to spend with friends or whatever else.

    While I’ve certainly had jobs that demanded long hours, I’ve had others that are more reasonable, and with good pay. It’s more possible now to find a good paying job with good work/life balance than when I started working over 20 years ago.

    Don’t let the negative people scare you away from school or the industry. Ultimately your experience will be your own. If you find that the path you’re on isn’t working for you, just do something else!

    I played Tetris for the first time on my friend’s Gameboy back in the 90’s. I didn’t get addicted at the time and I’m still not, but I do play Tetris 99 on my switch occasionally.

    Overall, it’s an amazing game. It can be learned in minutes but takes years to master.








  • I just picked up Again the Storm a few days ago and have been enjoying that. I like that the settlement building isn’t drawn out like other strategy games, and I don’t really feel bad about it when I lose since I can still earn perks and bonuses that persist throughout the campaign.

    GOTY for me is definitely Balder’s Gate 3. Enjoyed it start to finish, and there was enough content that my second playthrough didn’t feel like a rehash of the first.
