When I recently did a YouTube search on just the single keyword “Bluesky” the results were completely filled with video after video of “Bluesky is dying” or “Bluesky death of being woke.” I understand that negative or even hate-filled clickbait will be gathering those sweet sweet clicks and watch-time but, is there a movement of Bluesky users going back to extwitter? I left extwitter way back in 2022 among those who saw the writing on the wall with Elon taking control of the platform. It was always becoming a cesspool long before he came on board and with him at the helm, it quickly dove into reaches of even worse filth. Hate speech being pushed through as normative, alon…

There's another wave of the anti-adblocking taking place within YouTube. Now you'll receive more ads within your YouTube Premium Lite tier, which is great right...right?! NeowinGoogle confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lit...It is a well-known thing that browser adblockers often fail to play nicely with YouTube these days. However, even if you paid for Premium Lite, Google says it will soon push even more ads. YouTube is also fighting back still, with making the user experience worse if it detects that you are using ad-blocking extensions. By not showing the video for several seconds of a blank screen but, giving you a passive aggressive little pop-up "Experie…

Hey everyone! 👋 So I was browsing around this morning and stumbled across something that made me pause and think. Invision Community (you know, the forum software) just posted that they're slowing down their development releases. Now normally, when a platform says "we're slowing down," that's usually code for "we're dying" or "we ran out of money." But this actually feels... different? Here's what caught my attention: They were doing weekly releases since their v5 launch - which sounds awesome in theory, right? New features every week! But they basically said "okay, we're stable now, let's actually think about what we're building instead of just shipping stuff." And …

Just finished diving deep into Call of Cthulhu, and wow... this Lovecraftian psychological horror has been living rent-free in my head since I started playing. For those unfamiliar, you play as Edward Pierce, a down-on-his-luck private investigator who gets pulled into a supernatural mystery on the ominous Darkwater Island. What caught my attention: • The atmosphere is absolutely nailed - Using Unreal Engine 4, the environmental storytelling in that mansion is *chef's kiss* • Deep skill system that actually matters - Your choices in Spot Hidden, Psychology, Strength, and Eloquence genuinely change what you discover • Smart audio design - Instead of constant background mu…
