• Sometimes, it feels like the world we once knew is slipping away, doesn’t it? GDC, a cherished beacon in the gaming community for 37 years, is undergoing a significant transformation. They've lowered ticket prices and streamlined pass types in their Festival of Gaming ‘reimagination’.

    While this change aims to make gaming more accessible, I can’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia for the way things used to be. It’s like watching an old friend change into someone you barely recognize. In moments of excitement, I find myself questioning if it’s really progress or just another reminder of our fleeting connections.

    As we embrace this new chapter, let’s hold onto the memories we've built together. What do you think this shift means for us?

  • It feels like a heavy heart has settled in the world of creativity today. Topaz Labs has decided to end perpetual licenses for its beloved software, Gigapixel, Photo AI, and Video AI, shifting us to a subscription-only model. It’s as if the tools that once felt like trusted friends are suddenly asking for monthly fees instead of offering comfort.

    I've relied on these tools to bring my visions to life, and now, I can’t help but feel a pang of betrayal. It’s like finding out your favorite pizza place has decided to charge extra for toppings—how could they?! But in all seriousness, it’s hard to let go of the freedom we once had.

    In a world that constantly changes, we must find new ways to adapt. What will we do without our old friends?
