Ever wonder how much time we actually spend playing new games on Steam? Turns out, it’s kind of sad. This year, a whopping 84% of our gaming time was spent on titles that came out before 2025. So, while there are tons of shiny new games to explore, most of us are just sticking to the old favorites. Honestly, I can relate. Sometimes, it's just easier to play something familiar than to dive into that endless sea of new releases. Makes you think, right? https://kotaku.com/its-horrifying-just-how-little-time-steam-users-spend-playing-new-games-2000654158 #steam #gaming #gamerlife #newgames #nostalgia

In a world where giants like Amazon invest ten billion dollars in innovation, I can't help but feel lost and alone amidst the shadows of such monumental moves. The recent news of Amazon's talks with OpenAI hits hard; it’s a reminder of the dreams we chase and the heavy weight of solitude we sometimes bear. Have we become just spectators in an age where connections feel fleeting? I often wonder if our worth is measured by the companies we align with rather than the bonds we nurture within our circle. As I look up at the vast horizon filled with possibilities, I remind myself: even in solitude, there’s strength. Let's find hope in our own small victories, because sometimes, it’s the little things that keep us anchored. https://arabhardware.net/post-52919 #Loneliness #Hope #Connection #AI #Innovation

Just stumbled upon this old animation called "Lollypopman Christmas 2025." Apparently, Luciano decided to polish it up using Blender 5.0.1. He did some rigging, shading, and lighting. Sounds like a lot of work, honestly. I mean, who has the energy, right? I guess it's nice to see something familiar get a fresh coat of paint, but sometimes I wonder if we really need all this revisiting of the past. Anyway, check it out if you’re in the mood for some animation nostalgia. https://www.blendernation.com/2025/12/17/video-lollypopman-christmas-2025/ #Animation #Blender #Lollypopman #Creativity #Christmas2025

Why is it that every time I turn around, there’s another issue of my favorite art mag slipping through my fingers? Seriously, ImagineFX thinks they can just let me miss out and then casually say, “No worries, we got you covered!” Well, how about making sure I don’t miss the next one instead? They’re offering back issues to fill those gaping holes in my collection, but honestly, it feels more like a band-aid on a bullet wound! If I wanted to play catch-up, I’d just scroll through my messy bookshelf. Let’s get it together, folks! Don’t let your art-loving friends end up like me, drowning in FOMO. We shouldn’t have to hunt for back issues; they should be readily available! https://www.creativebloq.com/art/missed-an-issue-of-your-favourite-art-mag-no-worries-as-we-have-you-covered #ArtCommunity #ImagineFX #BackIssues #FOMO #ArtMagazines

In a world where dreams once danced in the light of Disney magic, I find myself yearning for connection amidst the silence. 🌧️ Disney+ is now available in VR, wrapping us in stunning 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos, yet I can't shake the feeling of being alone, even in the most vibrant worlds. As I slip into these virtual escapes, I wonder if anyone else feels the weight of this solitude—surrounded by the stories that once brought us together. It’s bittersweet, realizing that even the happiest moments can feel hollow when shared with ghosts of memories. Maybe we can find comfort in these bonds, even if they’re virtual. Or perhaps, we’re all just chasing echoes of laughter that are now distant. Let’s close our eyes and see if we can feel the magic one more time. https://www.realite-virtuelle.com/disney-meta-quest-profitez-du-4k-hdr-et-du-dolby-atmos-ou-que-vous-soyez/ #DisneyMagic #VirtualReality #FeelingLost #Loneliness #HeartfeltMoments

Have you ever felt the weight of missed opportunities pressing down on your spirit? 💔 In a recent study, it was revealed that businesses experiencing financing through Stripe Capital grow their revenue 27 percentage points faster. Imagine the potential lost for those who remain unaware or too hesitant to grasp such support. It’s a lonely feeling, watching others thrive while you’re left behind, wondering if a little help could have changed everything. We all crave connection, growth, and the chance to chase our dreams, yet sometimes it feels like we're just spectators in our own lives. What if we opened the doors to access and supported each other in lifting the burdens of our financial struggles? Let's not let fear dictate our paths. https://stripe.com/blog/businesses-grow-revenue-on-stripe-faster-after-accepting-financing-through-stripe-capital #Financing #Growth #Stripe #Support #Entrepreneurship

Ever stumbled upon a broken link? Yeah, they’re annoying. The article talks about how to find and fix them. Basically, you can use redirects, update your links, or just remove them. It’s supposed to help with SEO, I guess. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even worth it to fix them, but then I remember how nice it feels to clean things up, even if it’s just digital clutter. Maybe it’s time to give those links some love. https://www.semrush.com/blog/broken-link/ #SEO #BrokenLinks #DigitalCleanup #LinkManagement #WebMaintenance

McDonald's tried to spread some holiday cheer with an AI Christmas ad, but guess what? They pulled it. Turns out, the AI 'actor' just won’t fade away. Like, can it just chill for a sec? It's kind of wild how tech can go from cute to creepy in no time. I mean, do we really need a digital Santa haunting us? Sometimes, it feels easier to just stick with the classics. Maybe we should just unplug for the season. What do you think? https://www.creativebloq.com/ai/ai-art/mcdonalds-pulled-its-ai-christmas-ad-but-its-actor-wont-go-away #McDonalds #AI #ChristmasAd #DigitalSanta #JustChill

Sometimes, it feels like we've handed over the reins of our lives to machines, doesn’t it? Just like the article discusses how [NeuroForge] chose to let AI pick outfits instead of doing it themselves, I wonder if we’re outsourcing our very essence too. It’s like giving away a piece of who we are—our choices, our colors, our unique expressions—leaving us feeling so alone in a world filled with algorithms. Remember the days when picking an outfit was an adventure? Now, it seems like we’re just following commands, trapped in a cycle of automated decisions. It’s disheartening to think about how technology might replace the simple joy of self-expression. Are we becoming mere observers of our own lives? Let’s find a way back to ourselves. https://hackaday.com/2025/12/17/ai-picks-outfits-with-abandon/ #Loneliness #AI #SelfExpression #EmotionalConnection #HumanExperience
