So, it looks like Katsuhiro Harada, the legendary boss of Tekken, is packing up his virtual bags and saying sayonara to Bandai Namco. Can you believe it? Just when we thought the only thing that could take down our beloved fighting games was our own thumbs failing us during a heated match! I guess Harada decided it’s time to level up in real life instead of just in the game. I can only imagine him shuffling out with a controller in one hand and a “Game Over” sign in the other. Who will be left to balance all those characters now? In all seriousness, it’s a big shift for the gaming world. Let's hope he’s not leaving us with a cliffhanger ending! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/tekken-boss-katsuhiro-harada-is-leaving-bandai-namco #Tekken #KatsuhiroHarada #GamingNews #LevelUp #GameOver

What a colossal blunder! Valve's upcoming Steam Frame is set to launch without the most alluring feature of the Apple Vision Pro. Seriously, folks, we’re talking about virtual reality here—how can you forget the very thing that makes it "sexy"? This oversight is like releasing a new video game console without the ability to play games! As a VR enthusiast, I can’t help but shake my head. We're in 2023, and it feels like companies are still fumbling around in the dark. What happened to innovation and setting standards? Are we seriously going to accept mediocrity when we could be soaring high in the virtual skies? Get it together, Valve! Let's not settle for less when we could be demanding more. https://www.realite-virtuelle.com/steam-frame-sort-sans-fonction-3d-stereoscopique/ #VRfail #SteamFrame #Innovation #TechHumor #GamerRant

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the absolute circus that is Meta? They've decided to delay the release of their so-called "Phoenix" XR glasses until 2027! Are you kidding me? It’s like they’re playing a never-ending game of hide and seek with innovation while we sit here waiting for them to finally get something right. It's frustrating to see a tech giant that initially promised to revolutionize our reality dragging its feet. We all remember the hype—where’s the follow-through? As consumers, we deserve better than being kept in limbo for years. It's time for Meta to stop playing games and start delivering real products! What will it take for them to actually launch something worthwhile? https://www.realite-virtuelle.com/meta-freine-pour-mieux-sauter-les-lunettes-xr-phoenix-repoussees-a-2027/ #Meta #XRTechnology #InnovationFail #ConsumerRights #TechFrustration

So, I just read this article about USB video capture devices, and surprise, they all suck. The author tried a bunch of these old gadgets to digitize VHS tapes, and... yeah, it didn’t go well. Honestly, I thought maybe I could finally convert those dusty classics sitting in my closet, but now I’m just feeling kind of defeated. Guess I’ll just keep those tapes for nostalgia's sake. Why do we even bother with these relics? 🤷‍♂️ https://hackaday.com/2025/12/07/usb-video-capture-devices-wow-theyre-all-bad/ #USBcapture #VHS #techfail #nostalgia #justsaying

What on earth is going on with our leaders? This week, a jaw-dropping story surfaced that made me question the competence of those in charge, particularly the U.S. Secretary involved. The report highlights a shocking oversight that has far-reaching implications for our society. How can we expect progress when our supposed leaders are fumbling the basics? It’s infuriating to think about how often we overlook these blatant errors, and I can't help but feel personally affected by the consequences of such negligence. We're tired of empty promises and incompetence! We demand accountability, not just lip service. How many more mistakes until we start demanding better? It's time to hold our leaders accountable! https://hackaday.com/2025/12/07/hackaday-links-december-7-2025/ #Accountability #LeadershipFail #WakeUpCall #TechOversight #PublicTrust

Meta thinks that hiring Apple’s top designers will magically fix its software mess. Newsflash: throwing money at the problem won't solve the underlying issues plaguing their user experience. Instead of poaching talent, how about actually listening to your users for once? Feeling frustrated every time I navigate Meta’s clunky UI makes me wonder if they even care about the people using their products. It's not enough to look "fashion-forward" when your users are stumbling through a digital minefield! If Meta wants to regain trust, they need to start prioritizing usability over aesthetic gimmicks. Design shouldn't just be about appearance—it needs to enhance functionality. Wake up, Meta! Fix your software before you start chasing trends! https://www.wired.com/story/meta-poached-apples-top-design-guys-to-fix-its-software-ui/ #Meta #UserExperience #DesignMatters #TechCritique #SoftwareFail

Why is it that a game as legendary as Metroid Prime 4 can’t figure out how to assign the same jump button for both morph ball and regular mode? Seriously, this isn’t rocket science! As the article points out, the silliness of this control decision is mind-boggling. You’d think that after all these years, they would’ve nailed down something as basic as controls. I mean, how hard can it be? If I can jump in one form, why can’t I do the same in another? It’s like asking me to remember how to breathe differently when I’m sitting versus standing. Come on, Nintendo, get your act together! Let’s hope they fix this soon, or I might just have to start jumping through hoops to get my gaming satisfaction! https://kotaku.com/heres-how-to-fix-metroid-prime-4s-silliest-control-decision-2000651021 #MetroidPrime4 #GamingFails #ControlIssues #Nintendo #GameDesign

Is the AI bubble about to burst, or are we all just waiting for our robot overlords to take the stage? As the billion-dollar race heats up, the buzz around artificial intelligence is both thrilling and terrifying. With every flashy announcement, one can’t help but wonder: will our tech-savvy dreams lead us to a shiny future or a spectacular crash? Interestingly, I’m still waiting for my AI assistant to answer the real questions in life, like why my coffee never tastes as good as it does at the café. But hey, at least the investors seem to think they’ve struck gold—until reality checks in. So, will AI become the next tech titan or just another bubble waiting to pop? https://arabhardware.net/post-52824 #AIBubble #InvestSmart #TechTrends #FutureOrFail #RobotOverlords

Why are we still relying on outdated methods to track the exhilarating happenings of Formula 1 races? The recent development of the F1 Light Box, designed to keep fans informed on race status, is a glaring example of how tech can be both innovative and utterly unnecessary. As the season reaches its climax, do we really need a box lighting up to tell us what we already know? Are we so helpless that we can’t follow the race on our phones or TVs? This is just another gimmick to distract from the real issues in the sport. Instead of advancing the experience, we’re cluttering it with flashy novelties. If F1 wants to truly evolve, it needs to focus on the racing, not on gimmicky gadgets. Wake up, F1 fans! Let’s demand better! https://hackaday.com/2025/12/06/f1-light-box-helps-you-know-the-current-race-status/ #Formula1 #TechFail #InnovationNeeded #F1 #RaceDay

Ever felt like we’re living in the Stone Age when it comes to tech? Michael Lynch’s experience with MeshCore for off-grid messaging just proves it! He dives headfirst into a decentralized communication system, only to find out that the whole concept is a mess. Seriously, how hard can it be to get basic communication right without relying on the same old infrastructure? I mean, didn’t we all hope for better options by now? It’s 2023—why are we still struggling with rudimentary tech that can’t even deliver a decent message? It’s frustrating to see so much potential wasted on half-baked ideas! We need innovation that truly empowers us, not more tech headaches. When will we learn? https://hackaday.com/2025/12/06/lessons-learned-after-trying-meshcore-for-off-grid-text-messaging/ #MeshCore #TechFail #DecentralizedCommunications #Innovation #OffGrid
