Who knew basketball needed an interactive LED floor? Seriously? This absurd obsession with flashy technology is spiraling out of control! ASB GlassFloor has introduced a glass playing surface that can show animations, track athletes' performance, and repaint court lines with just a tap. What’s next? Will they turn the basketball into a glowing orb that gives motivational quotes mid-game? Let’s get something straight: basketball is a sport that thrives on simplicity, skill, and raw talent. The essence of the game lies in the players’ abilities, the sound of the ball bouncing on sturdy hardwood, and the thrill of a well-executed play. But no, that’s not enough for the tech-obsessed minds out there. Now we have to deal with an interactive floor that distracts from the game itself! Why in the world do we need animations on the court? Are we really that incapable of enjoying a game without constant visual stimulation? It’s as if the creators of this so-called "innovation" believe that fans are too dull to appreciate the nuances of basketball unless they're entertained by flashing lights and animations. This is a disgrace to the sport! And don’t even get me started on tracking athletes' performance in real-time on the court. As if we didn’t already have enough statistics thrown at us during a game! Do we really need to see a player’s heart rate and jump height displayed on the floor while they’re trying to focus on the game? This is a violation of the fundamental spirit of competition. Basketball has always been about the players – their skill, their strategy, and their drive to win, not about turning them into mere data points on a screen. Moreover, the idea of repainting court lines with a tap is just plain ridiculous. What’s wrong with the traditional method? A few lines on the court have worked just fine for decades! Now we have to complicate things with a tech gadget that could malfunction at any moment? Imagine the chaos when the interactive floor decides to show a different court design mid-game. The players will be left scrambling, the referees will be confused, and the fans will be left shaking their heads at the absurdity of it all. And let’s be real – this gimmick is nothing but a marketing ploy. It’s an attempt to lure in a younger audience at the expense of the sport’s integrity. Yes, pros in Europe are already playing on it, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea! Just because something is trendy doesn’t make it right. Basketball needs to stay grounded – this interactive LED floor is a step in the wrong direction, and it’s time we call it out! Stop letting technology dictate how we enjoy sports. Let’s cherish the game for what it is – a beautiful display of athleticism, competition, and teamwork. Leave the gimmicks for the video games, and let basketball remain the timeless game we know and love! #Basketball #TechGoneWrong #InteractiveFloor #SportsIntegrity #InnovateOrDie

The Video Game History Foundation has decided to keep the legacy of the game Myst alive, which sounds like a big deal for some people. They’ve managed to put together this archive that has over a hundred hours of footage about the game. I guess that’s interesting if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s all about the development of video games in the ’90s, a time when things were… well, different. So, yeah, the Myst archive is supposed to be this treasure trove of historical content. It contains all sorts of videos and information that might appeal to game developers or fans from back in the day. But honestly, do you really want to dive deep into a hundred hours of footage? Seems like a lot of time to just watch people talk about games that most of us played ages ago. I mean, Myst was a classic, no doubt. It had those puzzles that made you think, or maybe just made you frustrated. But now, with all these new games out, who has the energy to go back and relive those moments? I suppose some people find nostalgia in it. Maybe it’s a chill way to spend a weekend, but it also seems like a lot of effort to get through all that archival stuff. The foundation’s effort to preserve this part of gaming history is commendable, I guess. They’re trying to keep the memory of how games were developed alive. But, really, how many of us are going to sit through hours of archival footage? It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, look at all this old stuff!” and I’m just sitting here thinking, “Okay, cool. But… I could also just take a nap.” Anyway, if you’re into video game history or Myst in particular, this archive could be worth checking out. Just don’t expect it to be super exciting. It’s more of a slow-paced journey into the past rather than an adrenaline rush of new content. But hey, if that’s your thing, go for it. I’ll just be here, doing… well, not much. #VideoGameHistory #Myst #GamingArchive #90sGames #Nostalgia

Ah, California! The land of sunshine, dreams, and the ever-elusive promise of tax credits that could rival a Hollywood blockbuster in terms of drama. Rumor has it that the state is considering a whopping 35% increase in tax credits to boost audiovisual production. Because, you know, who wouldn’t want to encourage more animated characters to come to life in a state where the cost of living is practically animated itself? Let’s talk about these legislative gems—Assembly Bill 1138 and Senate Bill 630. Apparently, they’re here to save the day, expanding the scope of existing tax aids like some overzealous superhero. I mean, why stop at simply attracting filmmakers when you can also throw in visual effects and animation? It’s like giving a kid a whole candy store instead of a single lollipop. Who can say no to that? But let’s pause for a moment and ponder the implications of this grand gesture. More tax credits mean more projects, which means more animated explosions, talking squirrels, and heartfelt stories about the struggles of a sentient avocado trying to find love in a world that just doesn’t understand it. Because, let’s face it, nothing says “artistic integrity” quite like a financial incentive large enough to fund a small country. And what do we have to thank for this potential windfall? Well, it seems that politicians have finally realized that making movies is a lot more profitable than, say, fixing potholes or addressing climate change. Who knew? Instead of investing in infrastructure that might actually benefit the people living there, they decided to invest in the fantasy world of visual effects. Because really, what’s more important—smooth roads or a high-speed chase featuring a CGI dinosaur? As we delve deeper into this world of tax credit excitement, let’s not forget the underlying truth: these credits are essentially a “please stay here” plea to filmmakers who might otherwise take their talents to greener pastures (or Texas, where they also have sweet deals going on). So, here’s to hoping that the next big animated feature isn’t just a celebration of creativity but also a financial statement that makes accountants drool. So get ready, folks! The next wave of animated masterpieces is coming, fueled by tax incentives and the relentless pursuit of cinematic glory. Who doesn’t want to see more characters with existential crises brought to life on screen, courtesy of our taxpayer dollars? Bravo, California! You’ve truly outdone yourself. Now let’s just hope these tax credits don’t end up being as ephemeral as a poorly rendered CGI character. #CaliforniaTaxCredits #Animation #VFX #Hollywood #TaxIncentives

GOG is talking about game preservation again. Apparently, they think it’s a big deal. They’ve got this whole GOG Preservation Program now. Seems like they really want to keep old games alive or something. Not that I’m super interested, but yeah, it’s part of their business model now. You know, game preservation is one of those topics that sounds important, but I don’t get why it’s such a focus for GOG. I mean, we have so many games already. Do we really need to save every single one? I guess some people think it’s cool to revisit old classics, but honestly, I’m not sure how many folks are actually doing that. The whole idea of preserving games seems a bit… I don’t know, unnecessary? I can’t shake the feeling that it’s just a way for GOG to make more money. They’re packaging up these old titles, probably hoping we’ll buy them again. It’s like, “Look, it’s a classic!” But, is it really that exciting? I can see why they’d want to make it part of their business strategy. It gives them something to talk about and maybe pulls in gamers who feel nostalgic. But for me, it’s a bit of a snooze-fest. I mean, sure, some classics are great, but do I need another platform telling me I can play them again? So, yeah, GOG is laying out their case for why game preservation matters. They think it’s central to their business model. I guess if you’re into that kind of thing, it could be interesting. But, overall, it feels kinda slow and boring to me. Just another day in the world of gaming, I suppose. #GamePreservation #GOG #GamingNews #OldGames #Nostalgia

So, Gears of War multiplayer is back this weekend. Honestly, it’s just another chance to get chainsawed in half by people who’ve probably been playing since 2006. I guess if you’re into that sort of thing, it could be fun? But, I don’t know, it feels more like a chore than anything else. The beta for Gears of War: Reloaded is going on, which is supposed to bring back those “nostalgic” vibes from way back when. You know, the sweet days of running around maps, trying not to get smashed by random players rolling around like bowling balls. It’s kind of funny and sad at the same time. I mean, who really wants to relive that? You’ll have to pay to join in on this little trip down memory lane, which is just great. It’s not like we don’t have enough to deal with already. Why not add another expense to the weekend? But sure, let’s just embrace the chainsaws and all that. It’s not like there’s a million other things we could be doing, right? In the end, I guess if you’re desperate for some multiplayer action, this might be worth it for a couple of rounds. Grab some friends, or don’t. Either way, it’s just another weekend of gaming that feels more like a reminder of the past than something genuinely exciting. But hey, nostalgia can be nice... sometimes. So, if you feel like wasting your time and money on this, go for it. Just don’t expect too much, because honestly, it’s just Gears of War. #GearsOfWar #Multiplayer #Reloaded #GamingWeekend #Nostalgia

¿Quién necesita preocuparse por la última portada del álbum de Sabrina Carpenter? Al parecer, no soy el único que ha decidido ignorar esta obra maestra del arte gráfico contemporáneo. Es curioso cómo en la era de las redes sociales, donde todos parecen tener una opinión sobre cada susurro del viento, yo me encuentro aquí, en mi pequeño rincón del universo, preguntándome si realmente importan más de mil versiones de una imagen que, a todas luces, parece haber sido creada en la última clase de arte de la secundaria. Es fascinante cómo las plataformas estallan con reacciones, desde "¡Es la mejor portada de la historia!" hasta "¿Por qué esta chica sigue sacando música?". Pero, ¿en serio? ¿Estamos tan desesperados por tener algo de qué hablar que tenemos que elevar la portada de un álbum a los altares de la cultura pop? Quizás deberíamos estar más preocupados por los problemas reales del mundo que por el nuevo color de las letras en el nombre de Sabrina, que, seamos sinceros, poco afecta nuestra vida diaria. Y no me malinterpreten, Sabrina tiene talento, eso es indiscutible. Pero la emoción colectiva por una simple portada de álbum me lleva a preguntarme si estamos saturados de contenido al punto de que cualquier cosa que brille se convierte en oro. ¿No sería mejor dedicar ese fervor a algo que realmente importe? Como, no sé, una campaña para salvar a los pingüinos en peligro de extinción. Pero claro, un pingüino no genera tantos "likes" como una foto bonita de una cantante posando con su nuevo álbum, ¿verdad? Imagínense esto: en lugar de criticar la portada, podríamos estar creando un movimiento para que la música de Sabrina Carpenter sea interpretada por una orquesta sinfónica en un evento benéfico. Pero, en lugar de eso, aquí estamos, discutiendo si su nuevo diseño es "inspirador" o "aburrido". A veces me pregunto si el verdadero arte no está en la música, sino en la forma en que se presenta. ¿Es este un intento de hacernos olvidar que, al final del día, lo que importa es la melodía, no el empaque? Así que, a todos los que están obsesionados con la última portada del álbum de Sabrina Carpenter, les dejo esta reflexión: tal vez deberíamos aprender a valorar el contenido, no solo el continente. Pero, ¿quién necesita una lección de vida cuando puedes simplemente hacer scroll y dejar un emoji de corazón? #SabrinaCarpenter #Música #ArteContemporáneo #CulturaPop #PortadaDeÁlbum

A formação na utilização do software Top Designer é uma piada! É inacreditável como as empresas do setor de construção civil ainda se sujeitam a essa metodologia ultrapassada e cheia de falhas. Estamos falando de um software que deveria facilitar a vida dos profissionais da reforma, mas o que vemos é uma verdadeira bagunça que gera mais frustração do que eficiência. Primeiro, vamos falar sobre a duração da formação. Uma meia-jornada, seja pela manhã ou à tarde, é simplesmente ridícula! Como é que alguém pode aprender a usar um software complexo em apenas três horas? O que estão pensando? A proposta é oferecer uma formação que prepara os profissionais para o uso do Top Designer, mas na prática, isso se traduz em um rápido passeio pelas funções básicas, sem realmente aprofundar o conhecimento necessário para gerar resultados eficazes. Isso é um insulto à inteligência dos trabalhadores que dependem desse software para realizar suas tarefas diárias. E o que dizer das “diferentes fotos” que serão utilizadas durante a formação? Fica claro que a abordagem é superficial. O uso de imagens antes e depois dos trabalhos não substitui uma compreensão real das ferramentas e suas aplicações. Precisamos de formações que abordem a fundo as capacidades do Top Designer, incluindo como resolver problemas reais que surgem no dia a dia e não apenas uma exibição de situações idealizadas! Além disso, a opção de realizar a formação nas “suas instalações” ou via internet é uma tentativa de agradar, mas é também uma forma de se esquivar da responsabilidade. O que deveria ser uma experiência de aprendizado envolvente e prática acaba se tornando uma apresentação virtual sem interação real. É fácil simplesmente enviar um webinar e deixar os profissionais se virarem sozinhos. E se por acaso algo não funcionar durante a formação online? O suporte é praticamente inexistente, e o que se vê são pessoas saindo da formação mais confusas do que entraram. E não podemos esquecer da questão do suporte técnico após a formação. Uma vez que os participantes saem da sala de aula, muitos se sentem perdidos e sem direção. O software pode até ter suas vantagens, mas sem um suporte contínuo e eficiente, de que adianta ter aprendido a utilizá-lo de maneira tão deficiente? É um ciclo vicioso que deixa os profissionais desmotivados e sem os resultados que esperam. Em suma, a formação para o uso do software Top Designer é um fracasso retumbante! É hora de exigir padrões mais altos, uma abordagem mais profunda e um compromisso real com a qualidade do aprendizado. O setor de construção merece mais do que uma solução rápida e superficial. Precisamos de profissionais bem treinados que possam realmente fazer a diferença em seus trabalhos. Até lá, continuaremos a ver um mercado repleto de insatisfação e frustração. #TopDesigner #FormaçãoProfissional #ConstruçãoCivil #Tecnologia #Eficiência

Publishing your first manga might sound exciting, but honestly, it’s just a lot of work. It’s one of those things that you think will be fun, but then you realize it’s just a long journey filled with endless sketches and revisions. Six top manga artists talk about their experiences, but let’s be real, it’s not all that thrilling. First off, you have to come up with a story. Sounds easy, right? But then you sit there staring at a blank page, and the ideas just don’t come. You read what other artists say about their success, and it makes you feel like you should have everything figured out. They talk about characters and plots like it’s the easiest thing in the world. But between you and me, it’s exhausting. Then comes the drawing part. Sure, you might enjoy sketching sometimes, but doing it for hours every day? That’s where the fun starts to fade. You’ll probably go through phases where you hate your own art. It’s a cycle of drawing, erasing, and feeling disappointed. It’s not a glamorous process; it’s just a grind. After you’ve finally got something that resembles a story and some pages that are somewhat decent, you have to think about publishing. This is where the anxiety kicks in. Do you self-publish? Try to find a publisher? Each option has its own set of problems. You read advice from those six artists, and they all sound like they’ve got it figured out. But honestly, who has the energy to deal with all those logistics? Marketing is another thing. They say you need to promote yourself, build a following, and all that jazz. But scrolling through social media to post about your manga feels more like a chore than a fun activity. You might think you’ll enjoy it, but it’s just more work piled on top of everything else. In the end, the best advice might be to just get through it and hope for the best. You’ll survive the experience, maybe even learn something, but it’s not going to be a walk in the park. If you’re looking for a carefree journey, publishing your first manga probably isn’t it. So, yeah. That’s the reality. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds. You just do it, and hope that someday it might feel rewarding. But until then, it’s just a lot of waiting and wondering. Good luck, I guess. #Manga #Publishing #MangaArtists #Comics #ArtProcess
