  A new spin to the world of Pokémon

  Life, Komsan John Jandamit, Published on 23/02/2022

  » I am not sure if there is anyone in this world who does not know what Pokémon is. In case you're one of them, Pokémon is a game about you, the main protagonist, catching monsters and making friends with them while also using them to fight and traverse the game world to become the strongest trainer. Typically, games will have you defeat six to eight gym leaders, who act as bosses of each town, before beating the last boss to prove your supremacy. But this time, in 2022, there are no gyms, because this latest game is a prequel to all others and no gyms have been established, and the game's townspeople still have very little knowledge about these mysterious monsters.

  Is the new Twitter just like the old?

  Life, James Hein, Published on 01/02/2023

  » The Twitter situation is complex and somewhat confusing. On the one hand, all kinds of people from The Babylon Bee satirical website to former US president Donald Trump have been allowed back on the platform. The stated aim is to allow freedom of speech to be supported by Twitter once again. On the other hand, you can be banned by linking to a public photo of a public person on a public platform. The rule for the latter appears to only be for friends of Elon Musk. A YouTube channel I enjoy watching, The Quartering, did this after someone else had been banned and was also almost instantly banned himself. This is of course wrong in every respect especially given the individual in question, apparently now hypocritically, is always banging on about freedom of speech. Update, the ban is permanent.

  Nitro-Tastic

  » If you missed out on Crash Team Racing aka CTR back on the PS1 then man, you missed a lot. Crash Bandicoot was already an iconic character in the PS1 days and CTR came along and gave us even more fun to be had with Crash and his friends and foes, eventually becoming a beloved title, so much so that until now the debate rages on whether Mario Kart or CTR is the best kart racing game. You have no idea how many hours I've spent playing the kart game either by myself or split-screen with friends (because split-screen was the only way to do multiplayer back then. Dang, I'm old). You can imagine then just how excited I was when they announced CTR: Nitro-Fueled. In the vein of the previously released Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy, this game remasters CTR and brings back to our childhood days. But it's not all just about nostalgia.

  AI is causing concern again

  Life, James Hein, Published on 06/12/2023

  » There have been two big stories in the IT world over the past couple of weeks. The biggest one concerns OpenAI and its three-day boardroom drama. In a nutshell, the board voted Sam Altman and other members out of the company. The next day, Microsoft picked them up and anyone else who wanted to head over to a new division. That same day, 700-plus employees of OpenAI signed a letter saying they would go if a rogue board member did not quit and bring Sam Altman back. On the third day, Sam was back and three board members were gone.
