Ever since quitting Steem/Hive witnessing permanently, I've been looking for some kind of blockchain validation. There's nothing better than Eth2. Eth2 proof-of-stake is unique - it's direct (no delegated

I've been seeing some absolutely delusional comments from Hive stakeholders lately, some forwarded to my DMs on Discord. While I haven't been a stakeholder since 2018, I still hope to see Hive do well.

I have seen people call Hivemind a "layer 2", and non-chalantly calling to move more of the blockchain to layer 2. For "real" layer 2, there needs to be fraud proofs or validation proofs

I'll keep this short. As some of you may know, I have been critical of Steem since 2016, offering endless constructive feedback, but continued to support the project as I saw potential to become a niche

I don't have much to say, so I'll keep this short. Every upgrade to Steem in the past are whack-a-mole knee-jerk changes to the protocol that were supposed to save Steem. Instead, some did bring improvements,

I very rarely write about crypto and blockchain in general, but one of my pet peeves is people complaining about high transaction fees and how offering lower or free transactions is automatically a benefit.

Reddit's Community Points has been running in beta on Fortnite and Cryptocurrency subs for the last couple of months, on Ethereum's Rinkeby testnet. There's already been a surprising amount of interest,

The march of Codemasters' relentless evolution of the Formula 1 games continues. F1 2019 brought brought overhauled graphics and mechanics/physics to the mix, but left the core singleplayer experience

Six years ago, AMD made a borderline outrageous claim - that they'll increase the performance/watt of their APUs by 25 times by 2020. Hence, the 25x20 meme was born. Let's look at the context here. In

We have heard rumours about this forever. The earliest leak by a credible source was from way back in 2011, when SemiAccurate claimed Apple was dumping Intel from laptops. At the time, it was still some

The Last of Us is understandably regarded as a classic, but I'm not the biggest fan of the game. Sure, it had some brilliant narrative moments, but the gameplay and level design were far too formulaic,

In my last post about the PlayStation 5 event, I noted that the console looks massive. Since then, a fair few comparisons have popped up. I like this one in particular, courtesy of Twitter user PadPoet

By now, I'm sure if you've been following news about next-gen consoles, you'd have seen plenty of content about the PlayStation 5 event. Including, finally, what it looks like! I wanted to cover my thoughts

I wanted to curate and blog long enough to draw a fairly accurate conclusion. I have now, and there's one simple, fundamental problem with Hive right now. Well, of course, inequality on Hive is through

Intel has had a pretty tough time of late, with constant delays to the 10nm process setting them back several years. Meanwhile, AMD has caught up and surpassed Intel across the board, often by eye-watering

Movies based on real events disappoint more often than not. The writers are sometimes too clever, and the fiction often ends up being less interesting than reality. On the other hand, movies that follow

Next-gen consoles are coming. Despite the COVID-19 crisis, both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are still scheduled to released within the next 6 months. While we don't know prices yet, it's safe to assume

Graphics have made great strides over the years, but in recent times, the resolution increases offered by displays has become rather challenging. Let's look at the PlayStation series. The first PlayStation

A few days ago, I wrote about Arm's Cortex-X1 cores, which will finally bring high performance to Arm. Now, we have a rumour circulating that AMD is preparing a mobile SoC. Now, while the source has a

Life is Strange was a.. strange little gem. It was definitely a self-contained story, and with its sequel, the creative directors and writers at Dontnod had no intention in milking that story. Instead,
