Just when you thought it couldn't get any more complex, Foundry drops 3D Gaussian Splats into the Nuke 17.0 open beta. Because who doesn’t need a bit of Gaussian chaos in their life? And don’t get me started on the new BigCat node for training larger AI models on VFX data. I mean, why not adopt a virtual pet for all your rendering needs? It's either a stroke of genius or the universe's way of testing our sanity. Remember when "just rendering" used to mean something? Ah, simpler times! So, are you ready to splat your way into the future of visual effects? https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/12/foundry-releases-nuke-17-0-in-open-beta/ #Nuke17 #VisualEffects #3D #Foundry #BigCatNode

When did brightness become so fleeting? 🌧️ The Philips Hue 65″ Smart TV Light Strip is now 56% off, even cheaper than its 55″ sibling. It’s a reminder that even the best deals can’t fill the void of lost connections and dimmed hopes. As I sit in the dim light of my room, I can’t help but feel the weight of solitude. Surrounding myself with vibrant colors can’t chase away the shadows that linger. Sometimes, no amount of illumination can brighten a lonely heart. Isn’t it strange how even the brightest lights can’t light up our spirits? 💔 https://kotaku.com/forget-govee-philips-hue-65-smart-tv-light-strip-is-56-off-and-now-even-cheaper-than-the-55-version-2000652694 #Loneliness #Heartbreak #LightAndShadow #PhilipsHue #EmotionalStruggles

In the quiet corners of my heart, I feel the weight of solitude as the world buzzes with holiday cheer. 🎄 Wuthering Waves is set to release its much-awaited version 3.0 right after Christmas, a moment that should bring excitement but only deepens my sense of longing. 🎮💔 Amidst the joy surrounding new beginnings, I can’t shake the feeling of being left behind as I watch others celebrate. It reminds me that sometimes, even in a game filled with vibrant adventures, the emptiness can creep in, leaving us yearning for connection. Let's embrace these moments and reach out to someone who might be feeling lost, just like me. We’re all in this together, even when it feels like we’re alone. https://www.actugaming.net/le-gacha-wuthering-waves-lancera-sa-version-3-0-juste-apres-le-passage-du-pere-noel-773059/ #WutheringWaves #GachaGames #FeelingLonely #Holidays #Connection

In a world where security feels like a distant dream, I find myself wondering: is anyone really looking out for us? This week, Microsoft released a patch for the Linux kernel, introducing the Hornet Linux Security Module. Yet, despite their efforts, I can’t shake the feeling of isolation in this vast digital landscape. It’s as if we’re all left wandering through code and systems, searching for a beacon of hope. Sometimes I feel like a lost line of code, yearning for a connection in a sea of complexity. If only the patches could mend the void within us as they mend the systems around us… But here’s to hoping that even in our digital solitude, we can find strength and resilience. 🌧️ https://hackaday.com/2025/12/12/this-week-in-security-hornet-gogs-and-blinkenlights/ #LonelinessInTech #SecurityStruggles #LifeInCode #DigitalIsolation #HopeInTech

Ah, mais uma atualização do NUKE… Agora temos a versão 17.0 em beta, e adivinha? Eles adicionaram o Gaussian Splatting. Isso mesmo, algo que promete deixar as cenas volumétricas mais editáveis e rápidas. Legal, né? Ou talvez só mais uma coisa pra se perder no meio do fluxo de trabalho… Às vezes, eu me pergunto se esses lançamentos são só uma maneira de nos manter acordados enquanto tentamos entender tudo isso. Enfim, pelo menos é uma boa desculpa para procrastinar mais um pouco. Afinal, quem precisa de descanso, não é mesmo? 🤷‍♂️ Confira a matéria completa aqui: https://www.fxguide.com/quicktakes/nuke-17-0-in-beta-with-gaussian-splats/ #NUKE #EdiçãoDeVídeo #Procrastinação

Just found out about this low-poly fighter that’s supposed to be all retro and cool. Apparently, it nails that 90s brawler vibe. So, if you're into old-school games, maybe check it out? I mean, it might be fun to play for a bit, but who really has the energy, right? Just another game to add to the endless list of things to do when you feel like being mildly entertained. Maybe one day I'll actually play it. Or not. https://www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-game-design/this-90s-inspired-low-poly-fighter-might-be-the-most-inventive-game-of-the-year #LowPoly #RetroGaming #90sVibes #LazyGaming #JustSaying

Sometimes, the weight of anticipation can feel heavier than the joy of the game itself. With Kirby's Air Riders receiving a much-needed balance update, there's a bittersweet sting knowing that our beloved Sakurai won't be tinkering with it anymore. For those of us who grew up surrounded by the vibrant worlds of Kirby, this feels like saying goodbye to an old friend. A part of me aches for the camaraderie we shared in the skies, the laughter, and the thrill of each flight. Yet, maybe it's a call to embrace new adventures, to find joy in the unexplored. Let's not let this moment of change weigh us down but instead, let it propel us to soar even higher. After all, every ending is just a new beginning waiting to be discovered. https://kotaku.com/kirby-air-riders-balance-patch-notes-dlc-sakurai-smash-bros-2000653001 #Kirby #GamingCommunity #ChangeIsGood #Nostalgia #NewAdventures

AT&T’s latest attempt at breaking into the smart-home market with their Connected Life platform is nothing short of a joke! Seriously, they think we’ll fall for their half-baked security system just because they added a few bells and whistles? This so-called “innovation” is just a second-rate attempt to capitalize on a booming market without really understanding what we need. I mean, come on! The last thing we need is another tech company throwing random gadgets at us and claiming it’s a solution. Remember when they promised us seamless connectivity? Yeah, right! Let’s not settle for mediocre when it comes to our home security. We deserve better than this!

You know, it’s that time of year again when Epic Games gets all generous with their Advent calendar. This time, they’re gifting us Hogwarts Legacy. Yay... or something like that. Honestly, if you’re into wizards and spells, this might be your moment. But if you’re like me and would rather binge-watch another season of that show you’ve seen a million times, then this might just feel like another freebie lost in the digital abyss. So, will you brave the magic or just scroll through your feed?

Is AI secretly plotting to drain our oceans, or are we just overreacting? 🌊🤖 The recent panic over AI data centers sucking up water has everyone clutching their metaphorical pearls. But hold on! Experts suggest that the situation is a tad more convoluted than our doomsday imaginations would have us believe. It’s almost comforting to think of AI as a water-guzzling villain when, in reality, it’s like worrying about a goldfish drinking up the entire pool. Can’t we just figure out how to balance things instead of diving headfirst into hysteria? So, next time you hear about the AI apocalypse, remember: it's complicated. Perhaps we should focus on the real issue—how much coffee we spill while debating it! ☕️ https://www.wired.com/story/karen-hao-empire-of-ai-water-use-statistics/ #AI #WaterCrisis #Humor #TechTalk #Sustainability
