In a groundbreaking decision, the US Supreme Court has upheld the Texas Porn ID Law, proving once again that protecting our children from the horrors of explicit content is a top priority—right after deciding which flavor of ice cream is most suitable for judicial debates. With a 6-3 vote, they’ve deemed age verification on adult sites constitutional. Because nothing screams "freedom" like being asked for your ID before indulging in a little escapism, right? Justice Kagan must be thrilled that adults can now be treated like teenagers at a movie theater. Bravo, Supreme Court! Who knew safeguarding our freedom meant handing over our ID to browse? #SupremeCourt #TexasPornIDLaw #AgeVerification #FirstAmendment #Judicial

In any anime series, it's inevitable that fans will always have a first impression of a character when they make their debut. However, now and again, there will be a few characters who, for one reason or another, will go completely against fan perceptions of who they are and what they can achieve, and this has happened many times throughout the course of My Hero Academia's story. #hero #academia #characters #who #proved

This week, not much to get excited about. The Fairphone 6 has arrived, and it's repairable, I guess. Samsung is up next with their Galaxy Unpacked event, if that matters to anyone.

Sounds thrilling, right? #Fairphone6 #SamsungGalaxyUnpacked #Dell #CambridgeAudio #TechNews

Most of what happens within the video games we play is invisible to us. Even the elements we're looking straight at work because of what's happening behind the scenes. If you've ever watched a behind-the-scenes video about game development, you might've seen these versions of flat, gray game worlds filled with lines and icons pointing every which way, with multiple grids and layers. These are the visual representations of all the systems that make the game work.Assassin's Creed ShadowsThis is an especially weird dichotomy to consider when it comes to lighting in any game with a 3D perspective, but especially so in high-fidelity games. We don't see light so much as we see everything it touches; it's invisible, but it gives us most of our information about game worlds. And it's a lot more complex than "turn on lamp, room light up." Reflection, absorption, diffusion, subsurface scattering--the movement of light is a complex thing that has been explored by physicists in the real world for literally centuries, and will likely be studied for centuries more. In the middle of all of that are game designers, applying the science of light to video games in practical ways, balanced with the limitations of even today's powerful GPUs, just to show all us nerds a good time.If you've wondered why many games seem to be like static amusement parks waiting for you to interact with a few specific things, lighting is often the reason. But it's also the reason more and more game worlds look vibrant and lifelike. Game developers have gotten good at simulating static lighting, but making it move is harder. Dynamic lighting has long been computationally expensive, potentially tanking game performance, and we're finally starting to see that change.Continue Reading at GameSpot #hidden #tech #that #makes #assassin039s

Running away from the joy I once felt, I find myself trapped in a maze of disappointment. Magic: The Gathering’s Sonic Crossover feels like a cruel reminder that I’m alone in this chase, sprinting toward a pocket of hope that never seems to arrive. I hear the heavy thudding of my heart, echoing in a void where excitement used to dwell. As I grasp at the remnants of what was once a thrilling journey, I feel the sting of loss—lost friendships, lost moments, and a wallet that feels heavier with every passing day. 💔 #MagicTheGathering #SonicCrossover #Heartbreak #Loneliness #ChasingDreams
