blog
Spent some time on the coast the last week ... found a gem of spot in the morning, brutally cold and windy. Sat there reflecting as the world slowly started to awake. The morning sun light finally reaches me, the warmth, the beautiful warmth.

- Totally. It was not accessible to people with disabilities or serious health issues. Really sadden me that there are people who can't watch a sunrise freely.thenohero

Video Games...
So it is:
- So, more of the same but a bit bigger.
I wonder what the specs are?Nairn - OK I'm in...dee-dubs
- Feels “grown up”, eh?
Fucking Nintendo had us all at “hello”, eh???ideaist - BoomNBQ00
- Specs been leaked a while ago. 12GB Ram, Nvidia T239 GPU with DLSS 3.5 etc etc. All in all about the power of a PS4 Pro. Nintendo will do magic again with itNBQ00
- It will however have newer GPU & raytracing tech and DLSS, which will make games look better than on a PS4 Pro.NBQ00
- some people were theorising a separate DLSS unit in the dock for 4k upscaling due to the cooling vents. love the idea of thatkingsteven
- That logo looks suspiciously U2ish. Has Bono preinstalled their new album on the drive?mort_
- It's 2025, and they are packing in 2016 benchmark specs with a dash of sugar. No thanks.dibec
- dibec, you have no idea what you're talking about. The specs are just superficially on level of PS4 Pro+ but it's more powerful due to newer GPU + DLSSNBQ00
- besides if you know what Nintendo can do on the goddamn old tablet Switch 1, you can bet the new games will look amazing on Switch 2.NBQ00
- Nintendo hasn't been about just specs since the Wii. And is not competing with Specs.NBQ00
- Let's savour this moment and not begin the standard QBN "pissing contest" in the notes.
; )ideaist - Bro, you go enjoy that 2016 tech in a new bottle. lol.dibec
- The PS4/ or the Pro don't have this type of raytracing, nor DLSS you dummy. Also the Matrix Unreal 5 demo ran better on Switch 2 than on PS5 as per DevsNBQ00
- Mouse joycons - gimmick ✓duckseason
- Nintendo has never been about powerhouse specs anyway.. people that care about that play games on PCsdee-dubs
- Switch 2 is more powerful than the Steam Deck. dibec isn't bitching about Steam Deck.NBQ00
- haha, you are probably correct in that I wanted a steam deck killer. It will be a good device, just sadly not for me.dibec
- So, more of the same but a bit bigger.

War
After 15 months and more than 46,000 dead, a ceasefire for Gaza has apparently been achieved.
However, before that, the IDF has launched one last attack and Hamas apparently wants to renegotiate the terms.
Sadly, I doubt that the "peace" will last more than a few years... I hope I'm wrong :(
- Years? I'm putting it at weeks.
Israel's genocide boner won't go away any time soon.Continuity - True, but, I was trying to think positive...OBBTKN
- Well, bless you for that. I'm just too cynical, now.Continuity

On Jan 18th we've got 6 planets aligning.
Last night it was a clear sky above Edinburgh and spotted Mars, Jupiter and Venus shining bright. Pretty amazing to see with the naked eye.Download Stellarium app for phone to map out the night sky you see.
... and just sayin', 6 planets aligned would make pretty decent cover for an approaching Alien attack.
- Yeah, I've had the telescope out a few times this month - good views, even down here in light pollution centralNairn
- We can't see shit here, with our perpetual fog on winterOBBTKN
- OBBTKN, you can still download the app, hold up to the sky to see where these things SHOULD be ;)
Haha.microkorg - Will do itOBBTKN
- It's so damned cold right now but I've been out w/the pup late every night staring up / nerding out... good to see some other nerds here <3PonyBoy
- This is pretty neat..

Primus, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle all on stage together for one show... I'm practically in begging mode to my wife / brother in law / anyone stuck up in my little redneck corner of New England to go see this show w/me... I have NO problem going alone (and I will) but FFS it's Primus, Puscifer AND A Perfect Cirlce all on the same damn stage for the evening (part of an on-going celebration tour for Maynard who turned 60)... these tix should have already been purchased!!!
- Tool just announced their Mexico tour, I'm stoked!YakuZoku
- I'm sorry, it's a bit far for me. Ask mono ;)OBBTKN

- I mean c'mon guysprophetone

Social Media
I never tried TikTok. I know what it is but never installed the app.
Last weekend, I tried Youtube's Shorts section, its like TikTok.
2 hours and a half. I stayed in there 2 hours and a half. And I practically forced myself to stop watching.
These things are dangerous. I got hooked almost instantly.
I can only imagine all the times people are spending on TikTok. Its a total waste! These things should be banned. Its dangerous to our society.
- Come and see the violence inherent in the system.palimpsest
- word of the year was "brain rot"grafician
- Same on FB or Instagram with Reels... It pulls you in and eats your time.Longcopylover
- I also noticed my body was frozen while watching these, i had to think to move position. Its nuts.HAL9001
- I’m blown away by the idea that people now think it’s okay to record interactions with strangers and post them like this. So fucked up.monospaced
- @mono LoL didn't know that's a thing. 2 kids approached me once and asked me if I knew what a npc is.uan
- they got really nervous because I actually knew and I started to ask them questions about them.uan
- I'm getting videos on instagram of boucy tits or accidents which will be soon banned (must watch). It's getting to the point where i'll have no social mediaIanbolton
- it's called "TikTok" for a reason, your time is disappearing. And yeah, YT shorts is a mtf!mrAtor
- Haha good point on the nameYakuZoku
- TT algo is extremely aware more than any other social app, it creates a never-ending dopamine high going, dangerous is a stretch if you’re an adult, kids yesprophetone
- I mean do we ban video games and heavy metal, rap music? This was the overreaction in 80s, people, they’re dangerous, our kids are gonna worship satan etcprophetone
- I’ve noticed this too. It’s basically a slot machine to give you little dopamine hits in a quick loop.monNom
- The dopamine-hijacking addictive-by-design element wasn't there in the 80s.mort_
- found myself editing a lot of tiktok and shorts content recently. but yep youtube's algorithms actually seem a bit less addictive than tiktok...kingsteven
- Facebook/ IG definitely seems like the most addictive, but could be they have more info on me. It's definitely gone too far, ended up deleting all my accountskingsteven
- and setting up work accounts that can't hook me on an hour of things i don't even know I like... epoxy resin and home inspection videos? lol, sure.kingsteven
- lol. I was checking out vintage pencil sharpeners yesterday. I have zero pencils.mort_
- I disagree, the dopamine-hijacking addictive-by-design element was there when suddenly kids got Atari 2600s into their living roomsprophetone
- It’s all they talked about at school w/ friends, besides bmx’ing in the woods, dungeons dragons, Farrah Fawcett posters... jogged home to play Vanguardprophetone
- Just my personal experience lolprophetone

- I’ve never used TikTok before either, but Facebook has the reruns lol and I think it’s the same shit. So bad.monospaced
