The Technomancer and my take on current gaming practices

Posted on May 28, 2019 by goishen

The Technomancer was a generally not well received game. Make no mistake about it, I loved the story. The characters were well developed, although a tad hackneyed. I like that you could romance somebody. I really liked the ending. But … Continue reading →

Wooo-hoo. I’ve now switched over to Linux full time, now. Not even on my home machine do I run Windows. The reasons are pretty basic and simple. 1. Windows doesn’t care about your privacy. There was a time when this … Continue reading →
