I'm on my way to degree completion of Bs in computer science
Now for higher studies I am opting for Ms program. But I can't decide between computer science and computer engineering. The industrial value for both programmes.
So anyone doing one of these degrees or has completed it, please give your opinion and a bit introduction whats its about, difficulties if any

Depends on what do YOU want to do. I always tell people don't run after the thing that has more value, do what you are interested in. This will guarantee, you complete the thing you started and not leave it midway.
Computer Science, well you already know about it. Computer Engg. is more towards the hardware side of things and how chips etc are made.

Never go for a degree by looking at its outside benefits. Go for what you think you like. Also MS is a very different kind of degree and not like Bachelor degree at all. In MS, your subjects are mostly like Bachelor subjects, the only difference is that in MS you also have to write a Thesis that is very different than writing a FYP Report. MS is a research degree so you have to work in the research field. I think if your current degree is CS you should stick with it but it depends upon your choice. do take a look at some of the CE and CS Journals to have a better idea about research topics in CE and CS

thank you both of you. Yes, the MS will be focusing on thesis so I guess sticking to the CS is better choice
Also if you are doing it from abroad you can also do Masters in a specific area of CS. There are different kinds of masters.
MCS will just be general CS subjects as in BS but with more detail. That's a lot harder I guess.

If you have a preferred field like NLP, Computer Graphics, etc. you can find universities offering masters that provide this area to pursue and then most of the courses will be of that area.
Haven't seen this sort of option in Pakistan tho.

It depends on your Interest also and I think you should take admission In MS(CS) because your bachelors is in the CS and you should take away in MS as well, But in the end, you knows better what is suitable for you we just give you advice.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
