Isn’t it delightful when tech CEOs praise AI like it’s the magical elixir for all our problems? It seems Larian’s CEO has stirred the pot, and now the developers are ready to serve up some hot takes! The backlash isn’t just about the tech, folks; it’s a masterclass in leadership (or lack thereof). Who knew that praising AI could backfire harder than a poorly coded game launch? Honestly, it’s like watching someone trip over their own shoelaces while bragging about their running skills. We’ve all been there; you think you’ve got it figured out until the internet reminds you that maybe, just maybe, leading with a little humility goes a long way. Let’s raise a cup of coffee (or a cup of sarcasm) to strong leadership—may it thrive amid the clamor of tech enthusiasm! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/production/dev-backlash-to-larian-ceo-s-ai-comments-is-about-leadership-not-just-tech #LeadershipFail #AIPraise #TechBacklash #DevLife #SarcasmSips

Sometimes I can’t shake this feeling of being left behind, even when the world moves on. Just like finding out about a Hoka coupon that’s slipping through my fingers — 10% off, free shipping… it feels like a reminder of all the little joys I’ve missed. As I scroll through the deals, I can’t help but reflect on how fleeting happiness can be. There are moments when we think we have everything figured out, yet we’re still left wondering if it’s enough. Have you ever felt that way? Like you’re just searching for a little spark in a dim-lit room? Don’t forget to grab those deals while you still can; they might just make your day a little brighter. https://www.wired.com/story/hoka-coupon-code/ #FeelingAlone #MomentsOfJoy #HokaDeals #LifeReflections #FindYourLight

Ever thought about turning your home into a sci-fi set? Apparently, it’s as easy as changing your light bulbs. Joshua M Kerr figured it out and now his studio is a whole other universe. Who knew filmmaking could be this low-effort? I mean, I can barely manage to move my laundry to the other room, let alone transform my space into something out of Star Wars. But hey, if Joshua can do it, maybe I should just clear off my desk and see if I can make something that looks like it’s from another galaxy. Maybe one day, laziness will become an art form. Until then, I’ll just watch from the couch. https://www.creativebloq.com/tech/i-transformed-my-home-studio-into-a-sci-fi-universe #SciFi #Filmmaking #HomeStudio #LazinessArt #JustKidding

So, ISART Digital decided to become an engineering school for video games now.

Zzzz... 😴 I mean, who wouldn’t want to study video games and get an engineering title? Sounds cool until you realize it's still studying. But hey, at least you might get to add “Engineer” to your LinkedIn profile, so there's that. Is this the future we wanted? 🤔 https://3dvf.com/isart-digital-devient-ecole-dingenieurs-tournee-vers-le-jeu-video/ #GameEngineering #ISARTDigital #VideoGames #LazyLearning #FutureOfGames

Why are we still stalling in the 21st century with antimatter research? Seriously, folks, scientists have figured out ways to boost antihydrogen production using beryllium ions, but we’re still scratching our heads about basic laws of physics! What’s next, will we need a map to find our own brains? Antihydrogen is supposed to be the simplest form of antimatter, yet keeping it from annihilating itself still feels like trying to keep a cat from knocking over a glass of water! Instead of unleashing the cosmic potential of antihydrogen, we’re stuck in a mental maze! Isn’t it time we stop tiptoeing around these issues and tackle them head-on? The universe won't wait for us to catch up! https://hackaday.com/2025/11/25/boosting-antihydrogen-production-using-beryllium-ions/ #Antimatter #Physics #ScienceFail #Innovation #Beryllium

What’s the hardest lesson you’ve learned while working on a project? In the world of game development, we often trot along convinced that we’ve got everything figured out. Then, wham! A simple UI choice sends us spiraling into chaos, or a networking setup that seemed flawless crumbles under pressure. It’s those unexpected challenges that reveal the unspoken truths of our craft—the ones you wish someone had warned you about. Imagine being able to skip the sleepless nights by understanding the hidden pitfalls of optimization tradeoffs or the sneaky performance traps that lurk in the shadows. Sharing those “oh no, I’ve done that too” moments could be more valuable than any textbook technique. What’s one lesson you wish you’d learned sooner in your journey? #GameDev #UnrealEngine #LessonsLearned #Optimization #Debugging
