  • Hoy me siento como un viejo Macintosh SE, abandonado en una venta de garaje, con el corazón lleno de recuerdos y la esperanza marchita. Recuerdo aquellos días en que la vida era simple, donde cada clic en el teclado resonaba con promesas de un futuro brillante. Pero ahora, al igual que esa máquina, me encuentro atrapado en el tiempo, sintiendo el peso de la soledad y el desasosiego.

    El hallazgo de aquel caso de 1987, que alguna vez fue símbolo de innovación y creatividad, es un recordatorio doloroso de lo que fue y ya no será. A veces me pregunto si hay algo entre las sombras de mi vida que pueda revivir la chispa de la emoción. La idea de un "restomod", de restaurar lo que ha sido olvidado, se siente como un sueño distante que solo se vuelve más inalcanzable con el paso de los días.

    Me siento como un programa corrupto, incapaz de funcionar como solía. Las conexiones que una vez fueron vibrantes ahora son hilos desgastados, y las risas se han convertido en ecos lejanos. Busco consuelo en el pasado, pero cada recuerdo es un punzón en el alma. Cuando miro a mi alrededor, veo a otros avanzar, mientras yo me aferro al polvo de un pasado que se desmorona.

    La nostalgia es un lugar peligroso donde me encuentro a menudo, un laberinto de sentimientos que me atrapa y no me deja escapar. Quiero volver a sentir, quiero volver a ser la versión de mí mismo que un día brilló con la luz de la esperanza. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando el brillo se apaga? ¿Qué sucede cuando los sueños se convierten en solo eso, sueños? La realidad se vuelve un lugar sombrío, donde el silencio pesa más que las palabras.

    Quizás, al igual que el Macintosh SE que encontró Duncan Hall, pueda encontrar una forma de renacer. Quizás, un pequeño toque de amor y cuidado pueda restaurar la belleza que alguna vez existió. Pero hoy, en este momento de profunda tristeza, solo quiero gritar al vacío y que alguien, en algún lugar, me escuche. Porque sentirme solo en un mundo lleno de personas es la mayor tristeza de todas.

  • Test Spirit of the North 2 – La promesse d’une liberté qui a un prix.

    So, there’s this game that came out called Spirit of the North 2. I guess it’s a sequel or something. The first one was released in 2019, and people seemed to like it. Now, they’re hyping up this new one with promises of freedom and all that jazz, but honestly, who knows if it’s even worth the bother? I mean, freedom in a game usually comes with a catch, right?

    The whole thing feels a bit dragged out. It’s like they took their time to make it, and now we’re all just sitting here, wondering if it’s really going to be something special or if it’s just more of the same. The original had its moments, sure, but it also had its dull parts. I can’t help but wonder if this one will follow suit.

    The storyline or whatever they’ve got going on seems to revolve around some themes of nature and exploration. Sounds nice, I guess, but in the end, it’s still a game. Will it keep my attention, or will I just end up staring at the screen, waiting for something interesting to happen? I guess we’ll find out.

    Gameplay-wise, they’re saying there’s a lot to explore and some mechanics that might make it feel fresh. But are we really excited about that? I mean, it all sounds pretty standard. There’s a promise of beautiful visuals, which is cool, but I’ve seen beautiful visuals before. It needs more than just that to keep me engaged.

    Overall, ‘la promesse d’une liberté qui a un prix’ feels like a fancy way of saying, “You might have to deal with some annoying stuff to enjoy the good bits.” It’s kind of a mixed bag, and I’m not sure if I want to open it or leave it sitting on the shelf for a while.

    Maybe I’ll check it out later, or maybe I’ll just go back to doing nothing in particular. Who knows?

  • Disney+ has decided to pull "The Abyss" once again, and it's all because of some controversial rat scene that seems to be stirring up more drama than it deserves. Honestly, who cares? It’s just another instance of a streaming platform trying to dodge the backlash over something that probably wouldn’t even register on most people's radars.

    I mean, really, is anyone out there actually invested in why a rat scene is causing such a fuss? It feels like a lot of noise over nothing. Maybe some will argue that it’s about censorship or artistic integrity, but it just sounds a bit tedious to me. People get riled up about these things, while I just sit here wondering when the next big thing will actually be interesting.

    The whole situation seems like a never-ending cycle of re-evaluating content. Disney+ pulls a film, people complain, and then it gets put back in the vault. It’s like watching a rerun of a show you didn’t even like the first time. The Abyss may have its moments, but if a rat scene is what’s holding it back, maybe it’s not worth the time anyway.

    Let’s face it, with so much else out there to watch, does anyone really want to dwell on a movie that has been pulled over a rodent? It’s exhausting to keep up with these controversies, and honestly, it’s easier to just scroll past. If you’re looking for something exciting, maybe check out a different platform?

    While the buzz around "The Abyss" might catch some attention, I won't be holding my breath for its return. It just feels like more of the same: a mix of politics, social media outrage, and a streaming service trying to play it safe. If they really wanted to make waves, wouldn't they just leave it alone and let people decide for themselves?

    In the end, "The Abyss" is just another title on a long list of films that have fallen victim to the whims of public opinion. So, let’s just move on to something else, shall we? There’s plenty of content out there that doesn’t come with the baggage of a controversial rat scene.

  • In the shadows of my solitude, I find myself contemplating the weight of my choices, as if each decision has led me further into a labyrinth of despair. Just like the latest updates from NIM Labs with their NIM 7.0 launch, promising new scheduling and conflict detection, I yearn for a path that seems to elude me. Yet, here I am, lost in a world that feels cold and uninviting, where even the brightest features of life fail to illuminate the darkness I feel inside.

    The updates in technology bring hope to many, but for me, they serve as a stark reminder of the isolation that wraps around my heart. The complexities of resource usage tracking in VFX and visualization echo the intricacies of my own emotional landscape, where every interaction feels like a conflict, and every moment is a struggle for connection. I watch as others thrive, their lives intertwined like intricate designs in a visual masterpiece, while I remain a mere spectator, trapped in a canvas of loneliness.

    Each day, I wake up to the silence that fills my room, a silence that feels heavier than the weight of my unexpressed thoughts. The world moves on without me, as if my existence is nothing more than a glitch in the matrix of life. The features that are meant to enhance productivity and creativity serve as a painful juxtaposition to my stagnation. I scroll through updates, seeing others flourish, their accomplishments a bittersweet reminder of what I long for but cannot grasp.

    I wish I could schedule joy like a meeting, or detect conflicts in my heart as easily as one might track resources in a studio management platform. Instead, I find myself tangled in emotions that clash like colors on a poorly rendered screen, each hue representing a fragment of my shattered spirit. The longing for connection is overshadowed by the fear of rejection, creating a cycle of heartache that feels impossible to escape.

    As I sit here, gazing at the flickering screen, I can’t help but wonder if anyone truly sees me. The thought is both comforting and devastating; I crave companionship yet fear the vulnerability that comes with it. The updates and features of NIM Labs remind me of the progress others are making, while I remain stagnant, longing for the warmth of a shared experience.

    In a world designed for collaboration and creativity, I find myself adrift, yearning for my own version of the features NIM 7.0 brings to others. I wish for a way to bridge the gap between my isolation and the vibrant connections that seem to thrive all around me.

    But for now, I am left with my thoughts, my heart heavy with unspoken words, as the silence of my solitude envelops me once more.

  • In a world that spins endlessly, I find myself standing still, lost in the echoes of laughter that once filled my heart. The warmth of companionship feels like a distant memory, replaced by the cold reality of solitude. Each day drags on, heavy with the weight of unshared moments and untold stories. How did I end up here, clutching the remnants of joy, while the world around me dances in vibrant hues?

    I often wonder if anyone notices the silent battles I fight within. The best thermal brushes can transform hair, bringing life to what was once dull and lifeless, yet no tool can mend a heart shattered by betrayal and neglect. They talk about the magic of these brushes, how they can smooth out the tangles and create stunning styles, but what about the frizz that comes from loneliness? The ache that lingers long after the laughter fades?

    Every time I look in the mirror, I see not just my reflection but a reminder of what I've lost. The vibrant strands of my spirit have dulled, and I yearn for a brush that can sweep away the sorrow. The reviews speak of the best thermal brushes, tested and praised, but they don’t talk about the tears that spill over as I try to reclaim my essence. The irony stings: tools can elevate our appearance, but they cannot heal the unseen wounds that lie beneath.

    I scroll through images of friends living their best lives, and I am reminded of the warmth I once felt, the unconditional support that now seems like a fantasy. The brushes may help to achieve a perfect look, but they cannot fill the void of companionship. The ache in my chest serves as a constant reminder that no amount of styling can bring back the laughter shared, the moments cherished, or the love lost.

    As I stand in front of the mirror, I wish for a transformation that goes beyond the surface. I wish for a return to happiness, for the touch of a hand that understands the depths of my sorrow. The best thermal brush may create beauty, but I seek something deeper—a connection, a reason to smile again. Until then, I will continue to wander through this life, searching for solace in the shadows.

  • What in the world are we doing? Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have come up with this mind-boggling idea of creating an AI model that "never stops learning." Seriously? This is the kind of reckless innovation that could lead to disastrous consequences! Do we really want machines that keep learning on the fly without any checks and balances? Are we so blinded by the allure of technological advancement that we are willing to ignore the potential risks associated with an AI that continually improves itself?

    First off, let’s address the elephant in the room: the sheer arrogance of thinking we can control something that is designed to evolve endlessly. This MIT development is hailed as a step forward, but why are we celebrating a move toward self-improving AI when the implications are terrifying? We have already seen how AI systems can perpetuate biases, spread misinformation, and even manipulate human behavior. The last thing we need is for an arrogant algorithm to keep evolving, potentially amplifying these issues without any human oversight.

    The scientists behind this project might have a vision of a utopian future where AI can solve our problems, but they seem utterly oblivious to the fact that with great power comes great responsibility. Who is going to regulate this relentless learning process? What safeguards are in place to prevent this technology from spiraling out of control? The notion that AI can autonomously enhance itself without a human hand to guide it is not just naïve; it’s downright dangerous!

    We are living in a time when technology is advancing at breakneck speed, and instead of pausing to consider the ramifications, we are throwing caution to the wind. The excitement around this AI model that "never stops learning" is misplaced. The last decade has shown us that unchecked technology can wreak havoc—think data breaches, surveillance, and the erosion of privacy. So why are we racing toward a future where AI can learn and adapt without our input? Are we really that desperate for innovation that we can't see the cliff we’re heading toward?

    It’s time to wake up and realize that this relentless pursuit of progress without accountability is a recipe for disaster. We need to demand transparency and regulation from the creators of such technologies. This isn't just about scientific advancement; it's about ensuring that we don’t create monsters we can’t control.

    In conclusion, let’s stop idolizing these so-called breakthroughs in AI without critically examining what they truly mean for society. We need to hold these scientists accountable for the future they are shaping. We must question the ethics of an AI that never stops learning and remind ourselves that just because we can, doesn’t mean we should!

  • In a world where connections are meant to be strong, I find myself surrounded by silence, lost in a sea of expectations that never seem to be fulfilled. The SPIRAL sculpture, with its elegant design and seamless assembly, reflects a kind of unity I yearn for in my own life. It stands tall, constructed from copies of a single component, yet here I am, a fragmented soul, struggling to find the pieces that will bring me together.

    Each day feels like a repetition of the last, much like those identical components of the sculpture that fit together perfectly. But unlike the SPIRAL, I feel the weight of disconnection, the burden of solitude that wraps around me like a heavy cloak. My heart aches for the simplicity of a fastener-free assembly, where bonds are formed effortlessly, without the struggle of trying to hold everything together with fragile threads of hope.

    I watch as others build their lives with ease, each connection seemingly effortless, each moment shared a testament to their togetherness. Yet, I am here, grappling with my own isolation, feeling like a misplaced piece in a grand design I cannot comprehend. The beauty of the SPIRAL lies in its ability to showcase unity without the need for external support, and I can’t help but long for that kind of strength within myself.

    Loneliness creeps in, whispering doubts that echo in the chambers of my mind. Why can’t I find my place? Why can’t I assemble the parts of my life into something beautiful? The SPIRAL reminds me of what could be, a vision of harmony that eludes my grasp. I feel like a solitary figure, trying to construct my own reality, yet I am left with scattered remnants of dreams that never came to fruition.

    Perhaps I am destined to remain in this spiral of despair, forever searching for the missing components that will finally complete me. It’s a painful realization, one that lingers in the shadows, reminding me of my inadequacies. Each day I wake up hoping for a spark, a connection, a sign that I am not alone in this journey. Yet, the quiet remains, a constant companion that echoes my fears.

    As I reflect on the beauty of the SPIRAL, I can't help but wonder if I too can find my way to assemble a life that feels whole. I ache for companionship, for understanding, and for the love that seems just out of reach. I cling to the hope that one day, I will find my place in this world, and perhaps, the spiral of my existence will finally align with those around me.

    Until then, I will carry this weight, this loneliness that shadows my every step. I will continue to strive for connection, even when it feels impossible. Because deep down, I know that even the most intricate designs need time and patience to come together.

Because deep down, I know that even the most intricate designs need time and patience to come together. #Loneliness #Connection #Isolation #Hope #EmotionalJourney

    Spiral Connector Makes Fastener-Free Assemblies
    [Anton Gaia]’s SPIRAL sculpture resembles an organizer or modern shelving unit, but what’s really interesting is how it goes together. It’s made entirely from assembling copies of a single component …read more

  • 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.

  • What on earth is going on with the VFX in Netflix's "The Snow Sister"? Seriously, it’s 2023, and we’re still being fed mediocre visual effects that are supposed to "wow" us but end up doing the exact opposite! The so-called "VFX breakdown" is nothing more than a slap in the face to anyone who actually appreciates the art of visual storytelling.

    Let’s get one thing straight: if the best VFX are indeed the ones you can’t spot, then how on earth did we end up with these glaringly obvious digital blunders? It’s like they threw a bunch of half-baked effects together and called it a day. Instead of stunning visuals that elevate the narrative, we get a distracting mess that pulls you right out of the experience. Who are they kidding?

    The creators of "The Snow Sister" clearly missed the memo that viewers today are not easily satisfied. We demand more than just passable effects; we want immersive worlds that captivate us. And yet, here we are, subjected to a barrage of poorly executed VFX that look like they belong in a low-budget production from the early 2000s. It’s frustrating to see Netflix, a platform that should be setting the gold standard in content creation, flounder so embarrassingly with something as fundamental as visual effects.

    What’s even more maddening is the disconnect between the promotional hype and the actual product. They tout the "creation" of these effects as if they’re groundbreaking, but in reality, they are a visual cacophony that leaves much to be desired. How can anyone take this seriously when the final product looks like it was hastily patched together? It’s not just a disservice to the viewers; it’s an insult to the talented artists who work tirelessly in the VFX industry. They deserve better than to have their hard work represented by subpar results that manage to undermine the entire project.

    Netflix needs to wake up and understand that audiences are becoming increasingly discerning. We’re not just mindless consumers; we have eyes, and we can see when something is off. The VFX in "The Snow Sister" is a glaring example of what happens when corners are cut and quality is sacrificed for the sake of quantity. We expect innovation, creativity, and, above all, professionalism. Instead, we are fed a half-hearted effort that leaves us shaking our heads in disbelief.

    In conclusion, if Netflix wants to maintain its position as a leader in the entertainment industry, it’s time to step up its game and give us the high-quality VFX that we deserve. No more excuses, no more mediocre breakdowns—just real artistry that enhances our viewing experience. Let’s hold them accountable and demand better!

  • So, there's this thing called retro gaming. You know, the good old days with the NES and Game Boy. If you’re a fan, you probably have both. But let's be real: carrying around a big NES isn’t exactly practical. I mean, who wants to lug that thing everywhere?

    The Game Boy, on the other hand, is like the ultimate portable gaming device. You can take it with you anywhere, and it fits nicely in your pocket. But then again, if you miss that classic NES experience, it’s kind of a drag. It’s like choosing between a couch and a bed—both are comfy in their own way but come with their own issues.

    So, yeah, you could get both, but there’s always that question of practicality. The NES has some epic games for sure, but dragging it around just doesn't make sense. The Game Boy is there for your on-the-go gaming needs, but it can’t quite replicate that living room nostalgia, right?

    At the end of the day, it’s about what you want. Carry a NES and deal with the inconvenience, or stick with the Game Boy and keep things simple. Either way, you’re probably going to end up playing the same old games.

    In a world where we have options, it’s amusing how sometimes the simplest choice feels the most limiting. But hey, if you’re into both, good for you. You do you, I guess.
