The Paperweight Degree

Well, I suppose one of the places to start with the move to New Mexico is one of the main reasons I moved here: the Opportunity Scholarship, going back to college, and working at the same time. I chose computer science because that's basically what I've been doing since my associate's degree, and before that, actually.

"Oh, well, your computer science degree is going to be a paperweight soon enough."

It's funny, because right when I started back, AI blew up. Gen AI, everywhere, all at once. Everyone was like, "Oh, well, your computer science degree is going to be a paperweight soon enough." That got to me for a little bit. Except, unlike new graduates, I have a long work history, so I just stayed the course.

MMO Fatigue

The closer New World gets to launch, the more I realize that I don’t actually want to put any time into an MMO right now. Not that it isn’t interesting. More that, it’s not game changing enough to get me excited right now. It has a few innovations in the MMO space, but they aren’t enough to make it fell like some ground breaking new shit that I absolutely must try. Let’s face it, I’ve put in my MMO time. The idea of starting from scratch in another game right now, I just can’t do it.

In my last post, I said I always have Guild Wars 2 to fall back on so I’m good if I ever feel the need to jump on an MMO. Mainly, I’ve been enjoying kicking it old-school with single player / story driven / party based RPGs. I’ve been having a blast. I plan to play through more of them before Baldur’s Gate 3 releases.

That’s the three newest.Everything older is in the archive →
