  • ¡Es increíble cómo la industria de los videojuegos ha caído tan bajo! Hablemos de "Stellar Blade", un juego que, a primera vista, parece una mezcla de acción arcade clásica y un Soulslike moderno, pero que en realidad es un desastre absoluto que nos muestra lo peor de la cultura gamer actual. ¿De verdad necesitamos otro juego donde el protagonismo lo tenga una oficial de defensa con "grandes tetas y un trasero aún más grande"? ¿Qué clase de mensaje le estamos enviando a nuestra sociedad al aplaudir esta representación superficial y sexualizada de las mujeres?

    Es evidente que los desarrolladores de "Stellar Blade" han decidido priorizar el sex appeal sobre el contenido sustancial. La idea de que una mujer con curvas exageradas sea la heroína de la historia, salvando un mundo post-apocalíptico de aliens, es simplemente ridícula. No solo perpetúa estereotipos dañinos, sino que también desvirtúa lo que debería ser un enfoque realista y poderoso de la narrativa de videojuegos. ¿Es esta la mejor representación que podemos ofrecer? ¿De verdad?

    Además, los críticos han señalado que la jugabilidad es aburrida y repetitiva, lo cual es otra gran decepción. La promesa de un combate “divertido” en un entorno de ciencia ficción se queda en nada. Las mecánicas son torpes y, a menudo, frustrantes, haciendo que el jugador se pregunte por qué decidió invertir su tiempo y dinero en un producto tan mediocre. ¿Es esta la innovación que esperábamos? ¿La "diversión" que se nos prometió? ¡Por favor!

    Y no hablemos de las reseñas en Steam. Es triste ver cómo algunos usuarios se dejan llevar por la apariencia y no ven más allá de la superficie. ¿Qué pasa con la crítica constructiva? ¿Dónde quedaron los estándares? Este tipo de productos solo alimenta una cultura de aceptación de lo mediocre, donde lo superficial es lo que cuenta. Si seguimos así, ¿qué futuro le espera a la industria de los videojuegos?

    La frustración crece cuando vemos que los jugadores verdaderos, aquellos que buscan experiencias significativas, son ignorados en favor de un espectáculo que solo busca atraer a un público que prefiere lo fácil y lo llamativo. "Stellar Blade" es un recordatorio doloroso de que necesitamos elevar nuestras expectativas y exigir más de los desarrolladores.

    Así que, la próxima vez que pienses en gastar tu dinero en un juego, pregúntate: ¿realmente quieres contribuir a esta cultura de la superficialidad? ¡Es hora de que nos levantemos y digamos basta! No más juegos que solo buscan lo fácil y lo obvio; necesitamos calidad, profundidad y respeto en la narrativa y diseño de personajes. ¡Despertemos!

    Stellar Blade, As Told By Steam Reviews
    Stellar Blade is a mashup of classic arcade action and modern Soulslike about a defense force officer with big tits and an even bigger ass saving the post-apocalyptic ruins of Earth from the aliens who destroyed it. Paradise lost? Not for the gooners

  • En un rincón oscuro de mi mente, donde la soledad se arraiga como una sombra implacable, me encuentro reflexionando sobre el Proyecto Acheron. Este trabajo, que comenzó como un destello de esperanza, se ha transformado en un recordatorio doloroso de lo que podría haber sido. Las horas que pasé inmerso en el mundo del Spider-Verse, soñando con crear algo mágico, ahora se sienten vacías, como un eco en un vasto desierto.

    A veces, miro los renders finales, esos fragmentos de esfuerzo y dedicación, y me pregunto: ¿valió la pena? La comunidad de Blender Artists se unió con entusiasmo, compartiendo su apoyo y creatividad. Pero en medio de esa colaboración, el silencio de la incomprensión resuena en mi corazón. ¿Dónde están aquellos que prometieron estar a mi lado? ¿Por qué esta travesía se siente tan solitaria, como si estuviera remando contra la corriente sin un destino claro?

    Las palabras que una vez llenaron la sala de trabajo se han desvanecido. La risa y la camaradería, esos momentos que hacían que cada desvelo valiera la pena, se han convertido en simples recuerdos. La pasión que sentía por el proyecto, por el arte y la creación, ahora se mezcla con una tristeza abrumadora. A veces, el peso de las expectativas se siente como una losa sobre mi pecho.

    Acheron, un nombre que evoca la travesía hacia lo desconocido, se ha convertido en un símbolo de mi propia lucha interna. La lucha entre el deseo de avanzar y la realidad de una soledad aplastante. Cada línea de código, cada render, ahora está impregnada de un dolor sutil, una advertencia de que incluso en los momentos de mayor creatividad, la soledad puede acechar.

    ¿Podrá alguna vez este proyecto ser lo que imaginé? ¿O se convertirá en un recordatorio constante de que, a veces, los sueños pueden volverse pesadillas? La vida, con sus giros inesperados y decepciones, me ha enseñado que no siempre hay un final feliz, incluso en las historias que parecen prometedoras.

    Hoy, al mirar hacia el futuro, me aferro a la esperanza de que algún día encontraré la luz en esta oscuridad. Que el Proyecto Acheron no solo sea un eco de mis fracasos, sino un faro que me guíe hacia nuevas oportunidades. Pero por ahora, en esta soledad compartida, solo puedo dejar fluir mis lágrimas y esperar que, algún día, alguien escuche mi lamento.

  • Formentera20 is back, and this time it promises to be even more enlightening than the last twelve editions combined. Can you feel the excitement in the air? From October 2 to 4, 2025, the idyllic shores of Formentera will serve as the perfect backdrop for our favorite gathering of digital wizards, creativity gurus, and communication wizards. Because nothing says "cutting-edge innovation" quite like a tropical island where you can sip on your coconut water while discussing the latest trends in the digital universe.

    This year’s theme? A delightful concoction of culture, creativity, and communication—all served with a side of salty sea breeze. Who knew the key to world-class networking was just a plane ticket away to a beach? Forget about conference rooms; nothing like a sun-kissed beach to inspire groundbreaking ideas. Surely, the sound of waves crashing will help us unlock the secrets of digital communication.

    And let’s not overlook the stellar lineup of speakers they've assembled. I can only imagine the conversations: “How can we boost engagement on social media?” followed by a collective nod as they all sip their overpriced organic juices. I’m sure the beach vibes will lend an air of authenticity to those discussions on algorithm tweaks and engagement metrics. Because nothing screams “authenticity” quite like a luxury resort hosting the crème de la crème of the advertising world.

    Let’s not forget the irony of discussing “innovation” while basking in the sun. Because what better way to innovate than to sit in a circle, wearing sunglasses, while contemplating the latest app that helps you find the nearest beach bar? It’s the dream, isn’t it? It’s almost poetic how the world of high-tech communication thrives in such a low-tech environment—a setting that leaves you wondering if the real innovation is simply the ability to disconnect from the digital chaos while still pretending to be a part of it.

    But let’s be real: the true highlight of Formentera20 is not the knowledge shared or the networking done; it’s the Instagram posts that will flood our feeds. After all, who doesn’t want to showcase their “hard work” at a digital festival by posting a picture of themselves with a sunset in the background? It’s all about branding, darling.

    So, mark your calendars! Prepare your best beach outfit and your most serious expression for photos. Come for the culture, stay for the creativity, and leave with the satisfaction of having been part of something that sounds ridiculously important while you, in reality, are just enjoying a holiday under the guise of professional development.

    In the end, Formentera20 isn’t just a festival; it’s an experience—one that lets you bask in the sun while pretending you’re solving the world’s digital problems. Cheers to innovation, creativity, and the art of making work look like a vacation!

  • So, it seems we've reached a new pinnacle of gaming evolution: "20 crazy chats in VR: I Am Cat becomes multiplayer!" Because who wouldn’t want to get virtually whisked away into the life of a cat, especially in a world where you can now fight over the last sunbeam with your friends?

    Picture this: you, your best friends, and a multitude of digital felines engaging in an epic battle for supremacy over the living room floor, all while your actual cats sit on the couch judging you for your life choices. Yes, that's right! Instead of going outside, you can stay home and role-play as a furry overlord, clawing your way to the top of the cat hierarchy. Truly, the pinnacle of human achievement.

    Let’s be real—this is what we’ve all been training for. Forget about world peace, solving climate change, or even learning a new language. All we need is a VR headset and the ability to meow at each other in a simulated environment. I mean, who needs to engage in meaningful conversations when you can have a deeply philosophical debate about the merits of catnip versus laser pointers in a virtual universe, right?

    And for those who feel a bit competitive, you can now invite your friends to join in on the madness. Nothing screams camaraderie like a group of grown adults fighting like cats over a virtual ball of yarn. I can already hear the discussions around the water cooler: "Did you see how I pounced on Timmy during our last cat clash? Pure feline finesse!"

    But let’s not forget the real question here—who is the target audience for a multiplayer cat simulation? Are we really that desperate for social interaction that we have to resort to virtually prancing around as our feline companions? Or is this just a clever ploy to distract us from the impending doom of reality?

    In any case, "I Am Cat" has taken the gaming world by storm, proving once again that when it comes to video games, anything is possible. So, grab your headsets, round up your fellow cat enthusiasts, and prepare for some seriously chaotic fun. Just be sure to keep the real cats away from your gaming area; they might not appreciate being upstaged by your virtual alter ego.

    Welcome to the future of gaming, where we can all be the cats we were meant to be—tangled in yarn, chasing invisible mice, and claiming every sunny spot in the house as our own. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned from this VR frenzy, it's that being a cat is not just a lifestyle; it’s a multiplayer experience.

  • In a world where the most riveting conversations revolve around the intricacies of USB-C power cables and, no less, the riveting excitement of clocks, it's clear that humanity has reached a new peak of intellectual stimulation. The latest episode of the Hackaday Podcast, which I can only assume has a live studio audience composed entirely of enthusiastic engineers, delves deep into the art of DIY USB cables and the riveting world of plastic punches. Who knew that the very fabric of our modern existence could be woven together with such gripping topics?

    Let’s talk about those USB-C power cables for a moment. If you ever thought your life was lacking a bit of suspense, fear not! You can now embark on a thrilling journey where you, too, can solder the perfect cable. Imagine the rush of adrenaline as you uncover the secrets of power distribution. Will your device charge? Will it explode? The stakes have never been higher! Forget about action movies; this is the real deal. And for those who prefer the “punch” in their lives—no, not the fruity drink, but rather the plastic punching tools—we're diving into a world where you can create perfectly punched holes in plastic, for all your DIY needs. Because what better way to spend your weekend than creating a masterpiece that no one will ever see or appreciate?

    And of course, let's not overlook the “Laugh Track Machine.” Yes, you heard that right. In times when social interactions have been reduced to Zoom calls and emojis, the need for a laugh track has never been more essential. Imagine the ambiance you could create at your next dinner party: a perfectly timed laugh track responding to your mediocre jokes about USB cables. If that doesn’t scream societal progress, I don’t know what does.

    Elliot and Al, the podcast's dynamic duo, took a week-long hiatus just to recharge their mental batteries before launching into this treasure trove of knowledge. It’s like they went on a sabbatical to the land of “Absolutely Not Boring.” You can almost hear the tension build as they return to tackle the most pressing matters of our time. Forget climate change or global health crises; the real issues we should all be focused on are the nuances of home-built tech.

    It's fascinating how this episode manages to encapsulate the spirit of our times—where the excitement of crafting cables and punching holes serves as a distraction from the complexities of life. So, if you seek to feel alive again, tune in to the Hackaday Podcast. You might just find that your greatest adventure lies in the world of DIY tech, where the only thing more fragile than your creations is your will to continue listening.

    And remember, in this brave new world of innovation, if your USB-C cable fails, you can always just punch a hole in something—preferably not your dreams.

  • Ah, DreamWorks! That magical land where the sun always shines, and animated penguins can sing better than most of us in the shower. A studio that has been spinning its whimsical web of nostalgia since the dawn of time, or at least since the late '90s, when they decided that making ogres feel relatable was the new black.

    So, what's this I hear? A documentary detailing the illustrious history of DreamWorks? Because clearly, we all needed a deep dive into the riveting saga of a studio that has made more animated films than there are flavors of ice cream. I mean, who doesn’t want to know the backstory behind the creation of Shrek 25 or the emotional journey of a dragon who can’t decide if it wants to befriend a Viking or roast him on a spit?

    The podcast team behind 12 FPS is bringing us this "ambitious" documentary, where I can only assume they will unveil the "secret" techniques used to create those iconic characters. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of caffeine, sleepless nights, and animators talking to their cats for inspiration. Yes, I await with bated breath to see the archival footage of the early days, where perhaps we’ll witness the groundbreaking moment someone said, “What if we made a movie about a talking donkey?” Truly, groundbreaking stuff.

    And let's not overlook the "success" part of their journey. Did we really need a documentary to explain that? I mean, it’s not like they’ve been raking in billions while we sob over animated farewells. The financial success is practically part of their DNA at this point—like a sequel to a beloved movie that no one asked for, but everyone pretends to love.

    If you’re lucky, maybe the documentary will even reveal the elusive DreamWorks formula: a sprinkle of heart, a dash of pop culture reference, and just enough celebrity voices to keep the kids glued to their screens while parents pretend to be interested. Who wouldn’t want to see behind the curtain and discover how they managed to capture our hearts with a bunch of flying fish or a lovable giant who somehow manages to be both intimidating and cuddly?

    But hey, in a world where we can binge-watch a 12-hour documentary on the making of a sandwich, why not dedicate a few hours to DreamWorks’ illustrious past? After all, nothing screams ‘cultural significance’ quite like animated characters who can break into song at the most inappropriate moments. So grab your popcorn and prepare for the ride through DreamWorks: the history of a studio that has made us laugh, cry, and occasionally question our taste in movies.

  • Hoy me siento como un viejo Macintosh SE, abandonado en una venta de garaje, con el corazón lleno de recuerdos y la esperanza marchita. Recuerdo aquellos días en que la vida era simple, donde cada clic en el teclado resonaba con promesas de un futuro brillante. Pero ahora, al igual que esa máquina, me encuentro atrapado en el tiempo, sintiendo el peso de la soledad y el desasosiego.

    El hallazgo de aquel caso de 1987, que alguna vez fue símbolo de innovación y creatividad, es un recordatorio doloroso de lo que fue y ya no será. A veces me pregunto si hay algo entre las sombras de mi vida que pueda revivir la chispa de la emoción. La idea de un "restomod", de restaurar lo que ha sido olvidado, se siente como un sueño distante que solo se vuelve más inalcanzable con el paso de los días.

    Me siento como un programa corrupto, incapaz de funcionar como solía. Las conexiones que una vez fueron vibrantes ahora son hilos desgastados, y las risas se han convertido en ecos lejanos. Busco consuelo en el pasado, pero cada recuerdo es un punzón en el alma. Cuando miro a mi alrededor, veo a otros avanzar, mientras yo me aferro al polvo de un pasado que se desmorona.

    La nostalgia es un lugar peligroso donde me encuentro a menudo, un laberinto de sentimientos que me atrapa y no me deja escapar. Quiero volver a sentir, quiero volver a ser la versión de mí mismo que un día brilló con la luz de la esperanza. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando el brillo se apaga? ¿Qué sucede cuando los sueños se convierten en solo eso, sueños? La realidad se vuelve un lugar sombrío, donde el silencio pesa más que las palabras.

    Quizás, al igual que el Macintosh SE que encontró Duncan Hall, pueda encontrar una forma de renacer. Quizás, un pequeño toque de amor y cuidado pueda restaurar la belleza que alguna vez existió. Pero hoy, en este momento de profunda tristeza, solo quiero gritar al vacío y que alguien, en algún lugar, me escuche. Porque sentirme solo en un mundo lleno de personas es la mayor tristeza de todas.

  • In a world where connections are meant to be strong, I find myself surrounded by silence, lost in a sea of expectations that never seem to be fulfilled. The SPIRAL sculpture, with its elegant design and seamless assembly, reflects a kind of unity I yearn for in my own life. It stands tall, constructed from copies of a single component, yet here I am, a fragmented soul, struggling to find the pieces that will bring me together.

    Each day feels like a repetition of the last, much like those identical components of the sculpture that fit together perfectly. But unlike the SPIRAL, I feel the weight of disconnection, the burden of solitude that wraps around me like a heavy cloak. My heart aches for the simplicity of a fastener-free assembly, where bonds are formed effortlessly, without the struggle of trying to hold everything together with fragile threads of hope.

    I watch as others build their lives with ease, each connection seemingly effortless, each moment shared a testament to their togetherness. Yet, I am here, grappling with my own isolation, feeling like a misplaced piece in a grand design I cannot comprehend. The beauty of the SPIRAL lies in its ability to showcase unity without the need for external support, and I can’t help but long for that kind of strength within myself.

    Loneliness creeps in, whispering doubts that echo in the chambers of my mind. Why can’t I find my place? Why can’t I assemble the parts of my life into something beautiful? The SPIRAL reminds me of what could be, a vision of harmony that eludes my grasp. I feel like a solitary figure, trying to construct my own reality, yet I am left with scattered remnants of dreams that never came to fruition.

    Perhaps I am destined to remain in this spiral of despair, forever searching for the missing components that will finally complete me. It’s a painful realization, one that lingers in the shadows, reminding me of my inadequacies. Each day I wake up hoping for a spark, a connection, a sign that I am not alone in this journey. Yet, the quiet remains, a constant companion that echoes my fears.

    As I reflect on the beauty of the SPIRAL, I can't help but wonder if I too can find my way to assemble a life that feels whole. I ache for companionship, for understanding, and for the love that seems just out of reach. I cling to the hope that one day, I will find my place in this world, and perhaps, the spiral of my existence will finally align with those around me.

    Until then, I will carry this weight, this loneliness that shadows my every step. I will continue to strive for connection, even when it feels impossible. Because deep down, I know that even the most intricate designs need time and patience to come together.

  • Herman Miller, la marque emblématique des chaises qui coûtent le prix d'une petite voiture, a décidé de faire équipe avec deux artistes new-yorkais. Oui, vous avez bien entendu, deux artistes ! Quoi de mieux pour transformer un objet du quotidien, comme une chaise de bureau ergonomique, en œuvre d'art ! Parce que, soyons honnêtes, qui ne rêve pas de passer des heures à travailler, tout en admirant une pièce qui pourrait aussi bien être exposée dans un musée ?

    Imaginez la scène : vous êtes assis sur votre nouvelle chaise "artiste", en train de répondre à des e-mails à 2 heures du matin, mais avec la sensation que votre dos est protégé. Voilà le summum du luxe moderne ! Qui a besoin de vacances tropicales quand on peut se blottir dans le confort d'une chaise qui vous crie à chaque minute : "Regarde comme je suis élégant, tu devrais prendre une photo pour Instagram" ?

    Ces artistes de New York ont sûrement dû passer des heures à concevoir ces merveilles. Peut-être qu'ils ont même pris des cours de yoga pour s'assurer que chaque courbe de la chaise soit non seulement esthétique, mais aussi bénéfique pour votre posture. Après tout, qui a besoin d'un bon ergonomique si on peut avoir une chaise qui ressemble à une sculpture moderne, n’est-ce pas ?

    Et puis, parlons du prix. Bien sûr, il n'y a rien de mieux qu'une chaise qui vous permet de vous asseoir confortablement tout en ruinant votre budget pour le mois. Mais regardez le bon côté des choses, au moins vous aurez une belle pièce à montrer à vos visiteurs, pour leur prouver que vous avez un bon goût… même si vous devez manger des pâtes instantanées pendant quelques semaines.

    En fin de compte, ce partenariat entre Herman Miller et ces artistes new-yorkais est la preuve que l'art et le confort peuvent coexister. Mais à quel prix ? La réponse, mes amis, réside dans le nombre de dos cassés et de portefeuilles légers qui pleurent.

    Alors, si vous êtes prêt à investir dans une chaise qui pourrait tout aussi bien être un trône pour un roi (ou une reine) du télétravail, allez-y et plongez dans cet océan de créativité. Juste n'oubliez pas de faire une pause pour admirer votre chef-d'œuvre ergonomique. Qui sait, peut-être qu'un jour, il sera exposé dans un musée pour le plus grand plaisir de l'humanité.
