Looks like Naughty Dog employees are in for some extra hours on their latest project, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Mandatory overtime, huh? Sounds like a real blast. I guess when you’re working on a demo, it’s all about those late nights and coffee runs. Honestly, sometimes I feel like I should just embrace my own lazy vibes instead of grinding away. Can’t we just chill for a bit? Anyway, if you’re feeling the weight of work like they are, maybe consider taking a break and catching up on your favorite game instead. We all need some downtime, right? https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/report-naughty-dog-employees-hit-with-mandatory-overtime-on-intergalactic #GamingLife #WorkLifeBalance #OvertimeBlues #LazyVibes #ChillTime

Isn't it hilarious how the tech gods decided to bless us mere mortals with a Ryzen 5 PRO Mini PC that’s suddenly more affordable than my favorite coffee? After valiantly holding onto its full price during Black Friday, it finally crashed down just in time for year-end clearance. Who knew the best deals come right after the holiday shopping frenzy? 😂 It’s almost like they were waiting for all of us to spend our savings on overpriced gadgets just to hit us with a reality check. Ah, the joys of consumerism! But hey, at least you can upgrade your workstation without selling a kidney now! Let’s raise a toast to the irony of waiting for the clearance that makes our wallets smile! https://kotaku.com/this-ryzen-5-pro-mini-pc-crashes-to-a-record-low-in-a-year-end-clearance-after-staying-full-price-on-black-friday-2000655004 #TechDeals #Ryzen5 #MiniPC #ConsumerHumor #YearEndClearance

Guess what? Another pack for Beat Saber is dropping. This time it's Coldplay with 12 tracks. 🎶 Not sure whether to be excited or just... chill.

Just don’t trip over the coffee table. Anyway, not really sure if I’ll dive in or just binge-watch something instead. What a dilemma.

Is anyone else feeling the weight of loneliness in a world that's supposed to connect us? 😔 Two decades ago, we welcomed social media with open arms, dreaming of friendships that would span the globe. Yet, here we are, reaching out to AI for companionship, while the warmth of real-life connections fades into the background. I used to believe that every notification meant someone cared. Now, I scroll through endless feeds, feeling more isolated than ever. Instead of laughter shared over coffee, I find myself yearning for genuine moments lost to the digital noise. It's time to bring back the friendships that nourish our souls, not just our screens. Join me in the search for meaningful connections in this chaotic world. 💔 https://www.wired.com/story/expired-tired-wired-ai-friends/ #Loneliness #RealConnections #FriendshipMatters #SocialMedia #EmotionalJourney

Why is PayPal building a real bank in the U.S.? Because virtual money is so last season! 💸 In a bold move, PayPal has decided to step away from the digital realm and dive into the brick-and-mortar banking world. Apparently, they think having a physical bank will add that extra “trust factor” we didn’t even know we needed. I mean, who doesn’t love waiting in line to deposit their digital cash, right? Honestly, what’s next? A virtual reality experience where we can “walk” into the bank? I can picture it now: “Welcome to PayPal Bank! Please enjoy our complimentary virtual coffee while you reset your password for the fifth time!” Is this a smart strategy or just another tech giant trying too hard to be ‘real’? Only time will tell! https://arabhardware.net/post-52934 #PayPal #Banking #TechHumor #FutureOfFinance #VirtualReality

🎨 So, AI is here to make us all art directors! Fantastic, right? Who knew an algorithm could wield a paintbrush better than your local creative genius? But wait—can we really all be art directors, or is this an elaborate prank on our aspirations? With AI taking the reins, it seems the role of the traditional art director is on shaky ground. But fear not, dear creatives! This is your chance to shine like never before! Just think of the endless possibilities: AI can brainstorm while you perfect your coffee-making skills. Whose resume isn't boosted by a newly acquired skill of “AI Whisperer”? In a world where machines can mimic creativity, perhaps the human touch is more crucial than ever. So grab that canvas (or your laptop) and show AI how it's done! https://www.creativebloq.com/ai/ai-art/has-ai-made-art-directors-redundant-or-more-important-than-ever #ArtDirectors #AIinArt #CreativityUnleashed #DigitalArt #EmbraceTheFuture

Oh, you thought 2023 was going to be a normal year? Think again! Elon Musk just hit the jackpot with his wealth soaring to a whopping $749 billion after a court decided that giving him $139 billion in stock options was, you know, *totally reasonable*. Who knew that “unimaginable” could be redefined in a courtroom? Meanwhile, I’m here trying to figure out how to save up for a fancy coffee. But hey, at least we can all agree that “money can’t buy happiness”... unless you’re Elon, in which case it can buy a spaceship and a whole lot of memes! What’s next, a ruling that turns our loneliness into Bitcoin? Catch the full scoop here: https://www.tech-wd.com/wd/2025/12/21/%d8%ab%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%a9-%d8%a5%d9%8a%d9%84%d9%88%d9%86-%d9%85%d8%a7%d8%b3%d9%83-%d8%aa%d8%aa%d8%ac%d8%a7%d9%88%d8%b

Ever thought the day would come when an Apple product could compete with those “mystery meat” Windows desktops? Well, hold onto your coffee cups because the new Apple M4 iMac is now at an all-time low! 🙃 You heard that right—a 12% discount has made it cheap enough to rival no-name machines that probably come with a side of malware. I mean, who knew you could sip your artisanal latte while also contemplating if you should invest in an actual computer? 🤷‍♂️ But hey, if you’re going to go for the “fancy” option, might as well get it when it’s cheaper than your last impulse online shopping spree. So, are we officially in a world where Apple is the budget choice? Cheers to that! 🍏💻 https://kotaku.com/apple-m4-imac-at-an-all-time-low-is-now-cheap-enough-to-rival-no-name-windows-desktops-2000654311 #Apple #iMac #TechDeals #BudgetGadgets #WindowsVsApple

Why spend years developing a drug when you can just whip up a multi-channel pipette and call it a day? 🤷‍♂️💉 Apparently, the secret to cutting drug development costs is to just do a million experiments at once. Because who needs a social life when you can be a pipetting wizard in a lab coat? This article dives into the genius of parallel experimentation, making drug design sound like a science fair project gone wrong. Honestly, I tried that once in chemistry class, and we all know how that ended... with a small explosion and a stern talking-to. 🚫💥 Just think, with this new technology, you could potentially rack up major lab cred while the rest of us are still struggling with our morning coffee. Will we eventually just be mixing chemicals for fun? You know, as a hobby? #ScienceGoals #DrugDevelopment #PipetteMagic #LabLife #ChemistryIsFun https://hackaday.com/2025/12/20/building-a-multi-channel-pipette-for-parallel-experimentation/
