Oh, that stuff!

NVIDIA RTX 5090 is powered by one 600W cable, and it isn't enough to properly work for a long run. There is something wrong with the overall architecture of power system, that makes two wires overheat way above 100C (up to 150 after just a few minutes). Instead of making each cable to deliver 5–10 amps, one of them is loaded above 20 amps. Then, when the loaded one fail, the others are getting the aftershock.

Someone managed to release a malware containing game on Steam. It took Valve 2 days to find it out, take down the game, and announce the issue to anyone who played it.

This already happened before, but keep in mind that even Apple Store checkup can be passed by blatant malware these days.

Game developers: physics is so hard! Relink07: hear me out… Torus gravity! A MOVING TORUS GRAVITY!

The original animated trilogy is still a masterpiece, but this one looks fairly close to the roots and it may bring the new audience to the story. So, I'm happy about it! 😊

Remember how Adobe was silently adding all your content from Creative Cloud to train their Firefly AI? Well, they are apparently launching the notoriously bad final vision of it:

You need a separate subscription on top of your existing Creative Cloud one, it's very limited in length and features, and yes, it uses everything they stole from their users before.

Funny enough, their most expensive CC subscription is still promoted with "all the AI features included" while Firefly isn't available for those dumbasses who paid all that.

There's one thought I have regarding all the announcements: it's all good but also feels like Marvel movies these days.

How many times should we yet again save the universe? How many coming of age stories with a bit of science fiction and cell shader should we live through? How many skinny gothic girls with swords should fight big monsters and robots?

Wanna good story? Ground it!

The last big URL shortener Bitly will show ads for users. Promo pages are also gonna be shown for old links.

Honestly, a dark times, my fellas! The majority of links are no longer maintained, accounts are forgotten, but those are still in use. They will monetize all of that.

#Monetization@GameDEV

And you can't delete those links even if you want to! Any links you created since Bitly was founded are now permanent. How the heck is this even legal?

Yeah, I can relate: the art direction always wins and modern gaming is often BLAND AF.

But they are also unable to make anything meaningful with the UI, immersive elements, animations, and AI. The things that work in the original Stalker trilogy, METRO games, and many other similar projects.

Oh, crap, it's February 14. I literally wasn't in love for like three years or so. I generally don't feel anything anymore. People come and go, events are happening without any meaning or purpose.

Screw it all... 😴
