Narramblings #2: levity in the time of cordyceps

Why, yes, I am shamelessly coasting on the popularity of the TV show to talk about The Last of Us games. Specifically about why I never want to play the second one again even though I love it and I beat the original TLoU multiple times. …

Narramblings #1: Game (not quite) Over

Hi! My name is Wojtek. I’m a writer who happens to love games and narrative design. In a bout of time-for-new-year’s-resolutions inspiration I decided to put that love into blogging. I will be sharing probably infrequent and definitely irregular musings and observations about storytelling in video games. …

Why I’m not watching the World Cup and you shouldn’t either

A longer version of this article originally appeared in Polish in Political Critique. I’ve been a fan for twenty years. Nothing except sleep and work takes as much of my time as football (or soccer, if you’re that inclined). Between watching games and highlights, browsing stats, and disagreeing with strangers…

The workers’ moment

Something about work has changed. South Korea just had a general strike. India had one last year. Thousands are currently on strike in the US. In the past few weeks we also saw strikes in Scotland, France, and Poland. All the while the corporate world is abuzz with talk of…

Elon Musk won’t fuck you. Or take you to Mars. Or save humanity.

Billionaires feed their egos with messianic fantasies about colonizing space but they are not here to help us. — I originally wrote this article in Polish. It appeared in Political Critique. Roughly a third of humanity believes one lad sacrificed himself two thousand years ago to save the world. A smaller but just as vehement group is convinced that we now have a new savior. Except, Elon Musk is…

Computers Are Hard: building software with David Heinemeier Hansson

If you were to summarize the entire endeavor of software development, you’d say: ‘The project ran late and it got canceled’. We’ve reached the end of Computers Are Hard.

Computers Are Hard: representing alphabets with Bianca Berning

Provided you’re storing and processing text in Unicode, it just works. If you look deep enough, all data on our computers is binary code. Strings of 0s and 1s are the only language that processors understand. But since humans are not nearly as adept at reading binary, there are multiple…

Computers Are Hard: accessibility with Sina Bahram

I have no interest in people thinking about accessibility. I have interest in people doing something about accessibility. Accessibility features in software used to be mostly invisible to me. Sure, I believed they were important, but only in an abstract sense. Then my eyesight started getting worse and I found…

Computers Are Hard: app performance with Jeff Fritz

If the next person comes in and they can’t understand your code, it doesn’t matter how good it is. Everyone wants fast software. We all know the agony of operating a touch screen that’s slow to respond, or trying to play a shooter with requirements way above what our PCs…
