• 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?”

  • Annibale Siconolfi creates digital paintings that are supposed to show possible futures. He has worked with Warner Brothers and has a decent following on Instagram. Art exhibitions seem to be happening everywhere. Not sure what's so exciting about it all, but people seem to be into it. His artwork might have some interesting ideas, but it’s hard to get too enthusiastic about it. Future plans? Who knows.

  • Apple has released iOS 26 Public Beta 3. It's just another update, nothing too exciting. If you’re into beta testing, you might want to check it out, but honestly, it feels like just more of the same. The improvements are probably minimal, and not much to get worked up about. So, if you're feeling bored and want to give it a try, go ahead. Otherwise, it's probably best to just stick to what you have.

  • It’s absolutely infuriating how the creative industry is still drowning in mediocrity when it comes to job opportunities for Blender artists. The recent overview titled ‘Blender Jobs for June 20, 2025’ is nothing short of a disgrace! What are we doing here? Are we seriously still looking for someone to create low poly cartoonish clothing assets? This is 2025, people! The demand for innovation and quality is at an all-time high, yet we are settling for these lazy, uninspired roles that only push the boundaries of our creativity further back into the dark ages.

    The description outlines a desperate search for artists to create thumbnails for YouTube and basic asset production—who gave these companies the right to expect top-notch creativity while offering peanuts in return? This is a blatant disrespect to the talented artists struggling to make a name for themselves. The industry has turned into a free-for-all where anyone with a computer thinks they can just toss out these ridiculous requests, undermining the hard work and passion of those who actually have skills worth paying for.

    “Stealth Startup” and “Pizza Party Productions”? Really? Is this some kind of joke? These names scream lack of professionalism and vision. How can we expect to elevate the standards of our industry when these half-baked companies are running around hiring interns instead of investing in real talent? It’s ludicrous! What’s next? A startup looking for someone to animate stick figures for a viral TikTok? Come on!

    Let’s not even get started on the ridiculous notion of internships being the new norm for artists trying to break into the industry. The term “3D Artist Intern” is a euphemism for “overworked and underpaid.” The expectation that fresh graduates should be thrilled to work for free just to “gain experience” is not only exploitative but utterly shameful. These companies need to step up their game and start valuing the creativity and hard work that goes into crafting quality art.

    Every time I scroll through these job postings, I feel my blood boil. Are we going to continue to allow this cycle of mediocrity to persist? It’s time for artists to take a stand and demand better. We need opportunities that challenge us, not these mundane tasks that anyone with a basic understanding of Blender could complete.

    We deserve to work in an environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and respect for our craft. If these companies want to attract real talent, they need to start offering competitive pay and meaningful projects that actually inspire artists instead of dragging them down into the depths of blandness and monotony.

    Wake up, industry! The future of Blender artistry hinges on your willingness to embrace quality over quantity. Stop settling for mediocre job listings and start aiming for greatness.

  • Who knew basketball needed an interactive LED floor? Seriously? This absurd obsession with flashy technology is spiraling out of control! ASB GlassFloor has introduced a glass playing surface that can show animations, track athletes' performance, and repaint court lines with just a tap. What’s next? Will they turn the basketball into a glowing orb that gives motivational quotes mid-game?

    Let’s get something straight: basketball is a sport that thrives on simplicity, skill, and raw talent. The essence of the game lies in the players’ abilities, the sound of the ball bouncing on sturdy hardwood, and the thrill of a well-executed play. But no, that’s not enough for the tech-obsessed minds out there. Now we have to deal with an interactive floor that distracts from the game itself!

    Why in the world do we need animations on the court? Are we really that incapable of enjoying a game without constant visual stimulation? It’s as if the creators of this so-called "innovation" believe that fans are too dull to appreciate the nuances of basketball unless they're entertained by flashing lights and animations. This is a disgrace to the sport!

    And don’t even get me started on tracking athletes' performance in real-time on the court. As if we didn’t already have enough statistics thrown at us during a game! Do we really need to see a player’s heart rate and jump height displayed on the floor while they’re trying to focus on the game? This is a violation of the fundamental spirit of competition. Basketball has always been about the players – their skill, their strategy, and their drive to win, not about turning them into mere data points on a screen.

    Moreover, the idea of repainting court lines with a tap is just plain ridiculous. What’s wrong with the traditional method? A few lines on the court have worked just fine for decades! Now we have to complicate things with a tech gadget that could malfunction at any moment? Imagine the chaos when the interactive floor decides to show a different court design mid-game. The players will be left scrambling, the referees will be confused, and the fans will be left shaking their heads at the absurdity of it all.

    And let’s be real – this gimmick is nothing but a marketing ploy. It’s an attempt to lure in a younger audience at the expense of the sport’s integrity. Yes, pros in Europe are already playing on it, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea! Just because something is trendy doesn’t make it right. Basketball needs to stay grounded – this interactive LED floor is a step in the wrong direction, and it’s time we call it out!

    Stop letting technology dictate how we enjoy sports. Let’s cherish the game for what it is – a beautiful display of athleticism, competition, and teamwork. Leave the gimmicks for the video games, and let basketball remain the timeless game we know and love!

  • Why is it so hard for people to grasp the absolute necessity of setting up 301 redirects in an .htaccess file? Honestly, it’s infuriating! We’re in a digital age where every click counts, and yet, so many website owners continue to neglect this vital aspect of web management. Why? Because they’re either too lazy to learn or they just don’t care about preserving their ranking authority!

    Let’s get one thing straight: if you think you can just change URLs and your content magically stays relevant, you’re living in a fantasy world! When you fail to implement 301 redirects properly, you’re not just risking your SEO; you’re throwing away all the hard work you’ve put into building your online presence. It’s like setting fire to a pile of money because you couldn’t be bothered to use a fire extinguisher. Ridiculous!

    The process of adding 301 redirects in .htaccess files is straightforward. It’s not rocket science, people! You have two methods at your disposal, and yet countless websites are still losing traffic and authority daily because their owners can’t figure it out. You would think that in a realm where every detail matters, folks would prioritize understanding how to maintain their site’s integrity. But no! Instead, they leave their sites vulnerable, confused visitors, and plunging search rankings in their wake.

    If you’re still scratching your head over how to set up 301 redirects in an .htaccess file, wake up! The first method is simply to use the `RedirectPermanent` directive. It’s right there for you, and it’s as easy as pie. You just need to specify the old URL and the new URL, and boom! You’re done. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, the second method involves using the `RewriteRule` directive. Again, it’s not complicated! Just a few lines of code, and you’re on your way to preserving that precious ranking authority.

    What’s more infuriating is when people rush into updating their websites without even considering the fallout of their actions. Do you think Google is going to give you a free pass for being reckless? No! It will punish you for not taking the necessary precautions. Imagine losing all that traffic you worked so hard to get, just because you couldn’t be bothered to set up a simple redirect. Pathetic!

    Let’s not even begin to talk about the customer experience. When users click on a link and end up on a 404 error page because you didn’t implement a 301 redirect, that’s a surefire way to lose their trust and business. Do you really want to be known as the website that provides a dead-end for visitors? Absolutely not! So, for the love of all that is holy in the digital world, get your act together and learn how to set up those redirects!

    In conclusion, if you’re still ignoring the importance of 301 redirects in your .htaccess file, you’re not just being negligent; you’re actively sabotaging your own success. Stop making excuses, roll up your sleeves, and do what needs to be done. Your website deserves better!
