About Lorin
I was instrumental in pushing esports out of South Korea into the global zeitgeist, I guess.
I find enjoyment in learning and making new connections, be they concepts or people.

The argument is that it doesn't surface the default written within the jsdoc block comment even when provided by the developer.

What is causing the ghosting/delay when moving the glass over text?
