Pourquoi diable Unity, une entreprise de renommée mondiale, se limite-t-elle à un seul jeu en interne sur Switch 2 ? "Survival Kids" est loin d'être suffisant pour prouver leur prétendue compétence ! Au lieu de se concentrer sur des projets innovants, ils se contentent de faire le minimum avec un jeu de puzzle co-op banal publié par Konami. C'est inacceptable ! Les développeurs méritent mieux qu'une plateforme qui se repose sur ses lauriers. Unity doit revoir ses priorités et arrêter de laisser les joueurs sur leur faim. Les attentes sont élevées, et il est temps de livrer quelque chose de vraiment mémorable ! #Unity #Switch2 #SurvivalKids #Je

Oh, IMAX, the grand illusion of reality turned up to eleven! Who knew that watching a two-hour movie could feel like a NASA launch, complete with a symphony of surround sound that could wake the dead? For those who haven't had the pleasure, IMAX is not just a cinema; it’s an experience that makes you feel like you’re inside the movie—right before you realize you’re just trapped in a ridiculously oversized chair, too small for your popcorn bucket. Let’s talk about those gigantic screens. You know, the ones that make your living room TV look like a postage stamp? Apparently, the idea is to engulf you in the film so much that you forget about the existential dread of your daily life. Because honestly, who needs a therapist when you can sit in a dark room, surrounded by strangers, with a screen larger than your future looming in front of you? And don’t get me started on the “revolutionary technology.” IMAX is synonymous with larger-than-life images, but let's face it—it's just fancy pixels. I mean, how many different ways can you capture a superhero saving the world at this point? Yet, somehow, they manage to convince us that we need to watch it all in the world’s biggest format, because watching it on a normal screen would be akin to watching it through a keyhole, right? Then there’s the sound. IMAX promises "the most immersive audio experience." Yes, because nothing says relaxation like feeling like you’re in the middle of a battle scene with explosions that could shake the very foundations of your soul. You know, I used to think my neighbors were loud, but now I realize they could never compete with the sound of a spaceship crashing at full volume. Thanks, IMAX, for redefining the meaning of “loud neighbors.” And let’s not forget the tickets. A small mortgage payment for an evening of cinematic bliss! Who needs to save for retirement when you can experience the thrill of a blockbuster in a seat that costs more than your last three grocery bills combined? It’s a small price to pay for the opportunity to see your favorite actors’ pores in glorious detail. In conclusion, if you haven’t yet experienced the wonder that is IMAX, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions and a potential existential crisis. Because nothing says “reality” quite like watching a fictional world unfold on a screen so big it makes your own life choices seem trivial. So, grab your credit card, put on your 3D glasses, and let’s dive into the cinematic abyss of IMAX—where reality takes a backseat, and your wallet weeps in despair. #IMAX #CinematicExperience #RealityCheck #MovieMagic #TooBigToFail

It's time to call out the glaring flaws in the so-called "Latest Showreel" by the Compagnie Générale des Effets Visuels (CGEV). They tout their projects like a peacock showing off its feathers, but let's be honest: this is just a facade. The latest compilation, which includes work from films such as "The Substance," "Survivre," "Monsieur Aznavour," "Le Salaire de la Peur," and more, is nothing short of a desperate attempt to mask their shortcomings in the visual effects industry. First off, what are they thinking with the title "Mise à jour de showreel"? This isn't an update; it's a cry for help! The industry is moving at lightning speed, and CGEV seems to be stuck in the past, clinging to projects that are as outdated as a floppy disk. The world of visual effects is about innovation and pushing boundaries, yet here we have a company content with showcasing work that barely scratches the surface of creativity. And let’s talk about "Le Salaire de la Peur." If this is their crown jewel, then they are in serious trouble. The effects look amateurish at best, and it raises the question: are they even using the right technology? In an age where CGI can create stunning visuals that leave you breathless, CGEV’s work feels like a bad remnant of the early 2000s. It’s embarrassing to think that they believe this is good enough to represent their brand. Alain Carsoux, the director, needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Is he satisfied with this mediocrity? Because the rest of us definitely aren’t. The lack of originality and innovation in these projects is infuriating. Instead of pushing the envelope, they're settling for the bare minimum, and that’s an insult to both their talent and their audience. The sad reality is that CGEV is not alone in this trend. The entire industry seems to be plagued by a lack of ambition. They’re so focused on keeping the lights on that they’ve forgotten why they got into this business in the first place. It’s about passion, creativity, and daring to take risks. "Young Woman and the Sea" could have been a ground-breaking project, but instead, it’s just another forgettable title in an already saturated market. We need to demand more from these companies. We deserve visual effects that inspire, challenge, and captivate. CGEV needs to get its act together and start investing in real talent and cutting-edge technology. No more excuses! The audience is tired of being served mediocrity wrapped in flashy marketing. If they want to compete in the visual effects arena, they better step up their game or face the consequences of being forgotten. Let’s stop accepting subpar work from companies that should know better. The time for complacency is over. We need to hold CGEV accountable for their lack of innovation and creativity. If they continue down this path, they’ll be left behind in a world that demands so much more. #CGEV #VisualEffects #FilmIndustry #TheSubstance #Innovation

¡Es inaceptable lo que está sucediendo con la nueva edición de ‘Esports + Sports’ en la MADCUP 2025! ¿De verdad creen que mezclar fútbol y videojuegos es la solución mágica a todos nuestros problemas deportivos? La iniciativa Madrid in Game se presenta como un experimento "phygital", pero detrás de esa palabra de moda solo hay una falta de respeto hacia el verdadero espíritu del deporte. Estamos hablando de un evento que reunirá a 15.000 jóvenes, los cuales alternarán entre el campo de fútbol y la consola. ¿Qué clase de mensaje estamos enviando con esto? Se supone que el deporte debe fomentar la actividad física, el trabajo en equipo y la competencia sana. Pero aquí estamos, entregando a nuestros jóvenes a una cultura de la inactividad y la virtualidad. En lugar de fomentar habilidades como la resistencia, la disciplina y la superación personal, estamos priorizando el entretenimiento digital por encima de la salud física. ¡Esto es un escándalo! El fútbol, un deporte que ha sido una fuente de inspiración y unidad para millones, se está viendo reducido a un mero espectáculo digital. ¿Dónde queda el sudor, la pasión y el esfuerzo? ¿Dónde están los valores que se deberían inculcar a nuestros jóvenes? La Comunidad de Madrid, al permitir que este experimento se lleve a cabo, está traicionando a todos aquellos que han luchado por mantener el deporte en su esencia más pura. Las empresas detrás de esta fusión solo buscan una cosa: llenarse los bolsillos a costa de nuestros jóvenes. La idea de "fútbol base" se convierte en un chiste cruel cuando la prioridad es hacer que los chicos se enganchen a jugar en una consola en lugar de disfrutar de un buen partido al aire libre. ¿Cuántos de esos jóvenes regresarán a casa sin haber tocado una pelota real? ¿Y qué tipo de habilidades están realmente desarrollando? Lo que se necesita es un retorno a lo básico, a aquellos días en los que el fútbol se jugaba con pasión en la calle, donde se forjaban amistades y se aprendían lecciones de vida. En lugar de eso, estamos entregando a las nuevas generaciones un futuro en el que el deporte se convierte en un simple accesorio de un mundo digital. La MADCUP 2025 no debería ser una plataforma para vender una idea fallida. Es un momento para cuestionar nuestra dirección y decidir qué tipo de legado queremos dejar a los jóvenes de hoy. ¡Despertemos! Es hora de poner fin a esta locura y recuperar el valor verdadero del deporte. #Madrid #Esports #Fútbol #MADCUP2025 #JóvenesDeportistas

In a world where 3D printing has become the new frontier of human achievement, it appears that our beloved gadgets are not just printing our wildest dreams, but also a symphony of snaps and crackles that would make even the most seasoned sound engineer weep. Enter the Prunt Printer Firmware—a name that sounds like it was born out of an intense brainstorming session involving too much caffeine and too little sleep. Let’s face it, for ages now, Marlin has been the undisputed champion of firmware for custom 3D printers, akin to that one friend who always gets picked first in gym class. But wait! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Klipper slides into the ring, offering some serious competition. Think of Klipper as the underdog in a sports movie—full of potential but still figuring out whether it should be hitting its rivals hard or just trying not to trip over its own laces. Now, onto the real magic: controlling the charmingly chaotic duo of Snap and Crackle. It’s almost poetic, isn’t it? You finally invest in a 3D printer, dreaming of creating intricate models, only to have it serenade you with a cacophony reminiscent of a breakfast cereal commercial gone horribly wrong. But fear not! The Prunt Printer Firmware is here to save the day—because who doesn't want their printer to sound like a caffeinated squirrel rather than a well-oiled machine? Embracing the Prunt Firmware is like adopting a pet rock. Sure, it’s different, and maybe it doesn’t do much, but it’s unique and, let’s be honest, everyone loves a conversation starter. With Prunt, you can finally rest assured that your 3D printer will not only produce high-quality prints but will also keep Snap and Crackle under control! It’s like having a built-in sound engineer who’s only slightly less competent than your average barista. And let’s not overlook the sheer genius of this firmware’s name. “Prunt”? It’s catchy, it’s quirky, and it’s definitely a conversation starter at parties—if you’re still invited to parties after dropping that knowledge bomb. “Oh, you’re using Marlin? How quaint. I’ve upgraded to Prunt. It’s the future!” Cue the blank stares and awkward silence. In conclusion, if you’ve ever dreamt of a world where your 3D printer operates smoothly and quietly, devoid of the musical stylings of Snap and Crackle, perhaps it’s time to throw caution to the wind and give Prunt a whirl. After all, in the grand saga of 3D printing, why not add a dash of whimsy to your technical woes? Let’s embrace the chaos and let Snap and Crackle have their moment—just as long as they’re under control with Prunt Printer Firmware. Because in the end, isn’t that what we all really want? #3DPrinting #PruntFirmware #SnapAndCrackle #MarlinVsKlipper #TechHumor
