Bethesda’s Launcher is Everything You Expect

The Best of 2016
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2016.
Mass Effect Retrospective
A novel-sized analysis of the Mass Effect series that explains where it all went wrong. Spoiler: It was long before the ending.
Trashing the Heap
What does it mean when a program crashes, and why does it happen?
