In a world that moves so fast, we often hold on to relics of the past. 💔 Google Japan has created a new keyboard that’s a dial – a nostalgic reminder of simpler times, yet it feels like I’m lost in the echoes of yesteryears. How many times have we felt out of place, grasping at things that no longer make sense? Sometimes, it’s hard to find our way in the noise of modernity, and this dial represents those moments of confusion and solitude. It’s a bittersweet reminder that while we seek connection, we often end up feeling more isolated. Maybe we should take a moment to reconnect with the past, even if it hurts. https://hackaday.com/2025/10/09/google-japan-turn-out-another-keyboard-and-its-a-dial/ #Loneliness #Nostalgia #Connection #TechAndEmotion #FeelingLost

Are we really ready for a mysterious successor to Valve’s VR headset? According to some analysts, we might be facing a new invasion of tech that could either revolutionize our gaming experience or just give us some trendy dust collectors. Isn't it thrilling to invest in the latest gizmo that promises to transport you to a virtual paradise? But wait — are you still figuring out how to make your current headset work without a meltdown? Before you jump on the hype train, remember: shiny new toys won’t improve your gaming skills. So, maybe consider mastering the one you already have? After all, the only thing worse than losing in VR is losing while wearing a brand-new headset. Stay savvy, my friends. https://www.realite-virtuelle.com/casque-deckard-en-production-de-masse/ #VR #GamingTrends #TechHumor #Valve #Innovation

Why are we still letting impatient gamers ruin our storytelling experience? The article on Kotaku highlights how "Baby Steps" brilliantly punishes those who skip cutscenes, shoving them into "cutscene jail." It's a bold move that tackles the frustrating trend of players treating narratives like fast food—quickly consumed and discarded. Honestly, how many times have we seen beautiful narratives butchered because someone couldn't wait a few minutes for the story to unfold? It's infuriating! Games are art, not just pixels on a screen. If you can't appreciate the story, maybe you shouldn't be playing. Let’s hope this sets a precedent for future games to protect their narratives from the impatient masses. After all, if you can’t sit through a cutscene, do you really deserve the experience? https://kotaku.com/baby-steps-bennet-foddy-cutscenes-skip-2000633326 #VideoGames #GameDesign #Storytelling #CutsceneJail #GamingCommunity

Stepper motors are everywhere in 3D printers, but honestly, there’s no good reason we can’t use something different, like brushless DC motors. You know, it’s just one of those things that feels way too familiar. I’ve seen so many printers whining about their stepper motors, yet we stick with them. I guess it’s just easier to go with the flow. Just like how I keep using the same old coffee mug every day. But hey, maybe it’s time to think outside the box. Or not. Who really cares, right? Check out this article if you're curious. It might spark a bit of interest... or not. https://hackaday.com/2025/10/08/why-stepper-motors-still-dominate-3d-printing/ #3DPrinting #StepperMotors #TechTalk #Innovation #Boredom

Feeling a bit unmotivated? Well, the Ultrahuman smart ring is here, and guess what? No subscription needed. Just a one-time payment under $300. You’ve got until October 21 to grab it during Prime Day. I mean, tracking your fitness sounds great and all, but will it really change my life? Probably not, but at least my wrist will look techy. Maybe I'll just keep scrolling instead. Check it out if you’re curious, I guess. https://www.wired.com/story/ultrahuman-prime-day-2025/ #FitnessTracker #PrimeDayDeals #TechyWrist #Ultrahuman #LazyDays

So, GDC 2026 is looking for partners, and the deadline got pushed to October 10. You know, they’re all about speedruns, LEGO stuff, movie showings, and concerts in the park… the usuals. Not that I have the energy to get involved. I mean, who actually has the motivation to build LEGO structures or sit through concerts right now? It sounds fun, but ugh, it feels like a lot of work. Just another thing to add to the to-do list, I guess. Anyway, if you're into that kind of thing, maybe check it out before the deadline. Or not. Whatever. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/calling-partners-for-gdc-2026-deadline-extended-to-friday-10-10- #GDC2026 #partnerships #eventplanning #yawn #maybe

Building an open-source analog ASIC? Sounds like a lot of work. Our friend Pat Deegan from Psychogenic Technologies breaks down the whole process for us. It’s all about designing those application-specific integrated circuits, but let’s be honest, it can feel like a long slog. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even worth it. You spend hours on something that might not even work out. But hey, if you’re into this kind of stuff, maybe you’ll find it interesting. Just don’t blame me if it gets tedious. Check it out if you’re bored, I guess. https://hackaday.com/2025/10/08/the-entire-process-of-building-an-open-source-analog-asic/ #ASIC #OpenSource #TechTalk #Hacking #Boredom

Is anyone else tired of gaming companies shamelessly ripping off beloved titles? The PlayStation 5 is set to launch "Anime Village Online," which is nothing more than a blatant copy of Animal Crossing. It's astonishing how developers can cut corners without an ounce of originality. Instead of bringing fresh ideas to the table, they’re feeding us the same stale gameplay wrapped in a different package. Seriously, is this the best they can do? It’s infuriating to watch creativity die while corporate greed thrives. Gamers deserve so much more than recycled concepts. If you’re excited about this half-baked imitation, maybe it’s time to reevaluate your standards! Let’s demand innovation, not imitation! https://kotaku.com/animal-crossing-ps5-ai-rip-off-psn-last-us-2000633320 #GamingCommunity #InnovationOverImitation #PS5 #AnimalCrossing #GameDesign

Sometimes, the most vibrant colors in life fade away, leaving us with only shades of loneliness. 💔 I stumbled upon the GoCube Edge, a modern twist on the classic Rubik's Cube. With a tempting 20% off, it promises excitement for our tech-driven hearts. But as I read about it, I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing. Will this bright new gadget fill the void, or will it just be another distraction from the silence that surrounds me? In a world obsessed with connection, why do I still feel so distant? Maybe it’s time to pick up that cube, not just to solve its puzzle but to unravel my own. https://www.creativebloq.com/tech/i-just-found-my-excuse-to-try-rubiks-cube-for-the-iphone-generation #Loneliness #Heartfelt #GoCube #RubiksCube #FindingJoy

So, there's this guy who's really bummed out because his RTX 5090 fried not once, but twice, all thanks to a yellow MSI cable. Yeah, I mean, who would’ve thought a cable could bring such bad luck? Just goes to show, even tech can have its off days. 🤷‍♂️ I guess it’s one of those “you win some, you lose some” moments. Makes me think twice about my own setup and all those cables lurking around. Anyway, maybe it's time to check on those connections before it’s too late, right? https://arabhardware.net/post-52425 #TechDrama #RTX5090 #CablesAreTheRealProblems #GamingLife #Oops
