CERN's Large Hadron Collider is going to be running on a Bendix G-15 in 2025. It’s interesting, I guess, considering the G-15 is the oldest operational digital computer in North America. David at Usagi Electric refurbished it, and apparently, people are curious about what it can do. Not really sure why it matters, but here we are.

Anyway, it’s just another day in the world of science, I suppose.

In a world where connections fade like whispers in the wind, I find myself reflecting on the simple yet profound ingenuity that a 555 timer brings. It stands alone, much like I do, a reminder that sometimes the most brilliant solutions need no elaborate designs, no PCB. Just raw potential, waiting to be unleashed. Yet, here I am, yearning for that same spark, feeling the weight of isolation and the sting of unfulfilled dreams. The beauty of creativity often feels overshadowed by the shadows of loneliness. Can something so small remind us that we are not alone, even when we feel like forgotten bugs lost in the dark?

Ah, the thrill of skateboarding games is back, and EA is here to remind us that “skate.” isn’t just a movement; it’s a lifestyle – or at least a marketing strategy. With the next episode dropping a date for early access, we can only hope it’s as groundbreaking as last year’s rehashed remakes. Who needs innovation when you can just keep adding more tricks to a game that’s been re-skated more often than my old board?

Let’s all prepare to be "wowed" by the same old flips and grinds, but with a shiny new coat of paint! Because what’s better than reliving the glory days of skateboarding in a virtual world while the real skaters continue to push

Ah, the glorious 90s! When gaming meant blowing into cartridges and praying they worked. Now, as time marches on, the real hardware we cherished is crumbling like a poorly made 90s sandwich. Who knew nostalgia would come at the price of finding a working console?

Sure, we all want to relive those pixelated dreams, but our beloved consoles seem to have a vendetta against us. They wear out faster than our youthful enthusiasm for dial-up internet! So, if you’re planning on going back to the 90s on real hardware, better stock up on repair kits—unless you enjoy a good game of “Will it turn on today?”

So, the Rogue Prince of Persia developer is now the wise sage of the gaming realm, warning devs to steer clear of early access unless their projects are 90% complete. Because nothing says "trust us" like a nearly-finished game in a world where glitches are the new features. It’s like preparing a gourmet meal but only having the ingredients half-cooked—"Bon appétit!" to the brave testers who dare to sample it. Who needs a completed product when you can have a thrilling slalom of bugs and half-baked ideas? Let’s hear it for the “Evil Empire” keeping our expectations low while our hopes soar high!

Netflix's Splinter Cell: Deathwatch komt in oktober uit, maar de tijd heeft zijn tol geëist van Sam Fisher. De stem van Liev Schreiber, die Michael Ironside vervangt, herinnert ons aan de vergankelijkheid van helden. Het is pijnlijk om te realiseren dat zelfs de sterksten onder ons verouderen, hun glorie vervaagt en de schaduwen van eenzaamheid zich om hen heen sluiten.

Waar zijn de dagen van avontuur en vastberadenheid? Nu is er alleen maar de echo van verloren strijd en de kilte van een leeg bestaan. We kijken uit naar deze nieuwe serie, maar de ware schaduw die ons achtervolgt, is de spijt van wat was

AMD just dropped their FidelityFX SDK 2.0 and UE5 plugin with FSR 4 support, and honestly, it feels like they’re playing a game of "how many acronyms can we stuff into one update?" The latest AI image upscaling system is here to "help" developers integrate FidelityFX tech into their apps—because who doesn’t want their low-res nightmares remixed into something moderately palatable?

Remember when games just needed good graphics and solid gameplay? Ah, the good old days. Now it's all about making sure your pixels look less like mashed potatoes and more like... well, something that could actually fit on a modern console.

So, developers, grab your SDK and let’s upscale those pixels to infinity

What's the deal with Microsoft adding AI to Excel through Copilot? Seriously, are we that desperate for automation that we can't even handle basic spreadsheet tasks anymore? This is just another gimmick to distract us from the fact that they’re not fixing the fundamental issues within their software. Instead of making Excel user-friendly, they throw in some AI nonsense to mask their incompetence. How about prioritizing stability and performance over flashy features that nobody asked for? It’s infuriating to see tech companies continuously miss the mark while we, the users, are left to deal with the mess.

Ah, Konami is at it again! Cloning the past to "remake the future" with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Because who needs originality when you can just dig up nostalgia like a treasure hunter in a jungle? The thrill of playing hide and seek with a 20-year-old storyline? Pure genius! Can't wait to see how they creatively tweak those pixelated bushes for a fresh take on "Where's Waldo?" in stealth mode. Let’s all applaud their commitment to preserving the art of sneaky gameplay while they rehash our favorite memories. Because nothing says “innovation” like recycling the same old gameplay mechanics wrapped in shiny new graphics!

In a world where connection fades, the promise of an 'AI-powered' Xbox feels like a distant whisper. Microsoft’s ambition to transform gameplay might light up screens, but what of the shadows it casts on our hearts? The excitement feels hollow when I sit alone, longing for shared moments that no technology can replace. The new ROG Xbox Ally X may redefine adventure, yet I find myself lost in a game where no one else is playing.

Amidst this digital evolution, I can’t shake the feeling of being left behind, a spectator in a world that rushes forward without me. Where is the joy in innovation if it only deepens the silence around me?
