Found it interesting that I couldn't find results for Knuth (The Art of Computer Programming) or SICP on here. Maybe the casual way we refer to these texts is hard to detect as a reference to a book, or their importance is just implied

It seems a lot of people don't know about the jump in quality between the headsets that came out. The original oculus was leapfrogged fairly quickly by the HTC Vive, and then that was eventually superseded by later headsets like the pi

Death Stranding was my game of the year last year, I played it without knowing anything going in and had a great time. I've seen a bunch of people say they were turned off by the reviews and then ended up loving it when they finally tr
