The Mist (2017) – How To Write An Offensively Bad Queer Antagonist (And Plot Twist).
Warning: Major Spoilers (and graphic content warning). A few weeks ago I concluded watching The Mist (TV Series) on Netflix, the one that was cancelled only after one season. Adrian Garff is one of the main characters of The Mist. His role is that he is the best friend of Alex Copeland, the lead protagonist’s daughter. Adrian is one of the only two queer characters in the series. He wears makeup to match his punk/emo style of fashion and he seemingly identifies as pansexual. However, Adrian has to deal with homophobia and the harassment of both his father and other students from school. This is where Alex comes in to be the balance in Adrian’s life, becoming established as pretty close friends. One of the sub-plots of The Mist is the circumstances surrounding Alex’s sexual assault (rape) that took place in the first episode. …

Session Box is a browser extension that lets you use multiple accounts of a website/s within a single browser. This means that if you have two different accounts on (for example) Facebook, you can use both of your accounts within the same browser without having to open a private browsing window or a whole other browser.

[VN Review] Highway Blossoms – A Visual Novel Saved By Its Voice Acting.
It has its highs and lows. I was honestly not sure how to rate this. On one hand, the player is treated to a quite a boring story, however, the characters and voice acting redeemed it so much that it’s hard to give the visual novel a bad score, or just flat out not like it for that matter. This review is mostly spoiler-free. There is one spoiler, but I’ve highlighted it so you can avoid it. Loves/Hates: Lovable Characters Emotional Gorgeous artwork/illustrations Amazing voice acting Uninteresting story Feels padded with filler Cliche Story Highway Blossoms is a kinetic romance visual novel featuring two characters, Amber and Marina, who meet each other in the desert after Marina gets stuck there. But Marina isn’t there for any reason, she’s there because she’s on this hunt to find treasure buried by someone, and she’s not the only one…
[Review] From Windows 7 to 10: Why You Will Love What Windows 10 Has To Offer.
A worthy successor to change the heart of sceptics. It’s been about 7 years since I’ve been using Windows 7 (coincidence, haha). I’ve used it from the time I built my first computer back in 2012. This was the same time Windows 8 came around, but I passed on it. Windows 10 would come three years after, but again, I was attached to Windows 7. Coming off of the hot mess that was Windows Vista, I adored Windows 7’s improvements to both stability and performance while it adopted Windows Vista’s modern look. And with the computer that I had built, using Windows 7 felt like it was in a league of its own. But now that Microsoft is pulling the plug on security updates for Windows 7, it’s about time I consider saying goodbye to an old friend and see if the transition to Windows 10 was really…
