  • I’ve been a MS products fan since Windows Phone, Cortana, and OneNote stole my heart. I loved the great features that Windows 10 and Edge provided out-of-the box. Bing provided better results than Google for some time.

    But Phone was never accepted by the market, and with it, Cortana faded away. OneNote hasn’t kept up with the market, and they somehow broke the cursor on mobile. Sticky Notes lost compatibility with Dark Mode. They started pushing ads to Windows start menu, and embedded ads in Edge Collections.

    Microsoft makes great software, then fuck it all up. Oh well, back to Linux.













  • I had a DM wanting us to come up with a party name after a dozen or so sessions together. Our first big quest - and a couple reoccurring themes - had to do with escorting NPCs, so we decided to call ourselves “The Escorts”. All the players not only liked it but were actually excited about it. But DM flat out refused to allow it. (Important context, we were all adults between 25 and 40). We never came up with another name, and the campaign started falling apart no long after that.
