Remember #Unity promised to become better for the developers and leave all creepy practices behind, *wink-wink*?
It seems, that they are now spying on you with #AI, and they only inform customers in #Europe since they have to due to local laws.
Here's how the color appeared in movies — by lying that colors exists. It's worth to know if you want to make games with good visuals:

OK, folks, #BLENDER for Nokia N95!
Long story short: should work with newer phones too (up to Symbian Belle OS), but touchscreen isn't usable, so you will have to connect keyboard and mouse via OTG.
Models with 3D accelerator will obviously work better than ones without it.

Meanwhile, #Amazon is set to launch their new #MMO #RPG September 17th: I truly want to poke Amazon (since they are evil corp), but it looks good and even a little old-fashioned

Finally: after years of scammy practices, #Adobe is under investigation for applying "fines" for cancelling the subscription.
To make it clear: it was illegal already and you could push on them and not pay that crap. But the majority of people were scared and paid.
Imagine that to cancel the subscription you need to give them $200 more — this is what they asked from famous #GameAssets creator KenneyNL (and only gave up on that fine when he made the story public).

KNSB Tower in Sofia vs City 17 Citadel. Viktor Antonov (the art director of Half-Life 2 and Dishonored) grew up in Sofia. This is why there are so many signs in Bulgarian (even in Half-Life Alyx).

Meet the game about CLICKOLDING: you know — a fetish of clicking things...

Meanwhile high-end games on iOS failed miserably. None of them break even. Some say the issue is that only the flagship devices were able to launch them, but in my opinion the issue lies deeper:
None of them worked well. Like not even close to being properly optimized, improved for smaller screens, etc. And input delay was sometimes up to several seconds.
Death Stranding was probably the best of all in terms of the performance and inputs, but still it was only playable on MacBook, not iPhone.

#Apple is under investigation for violating European regulations and will face a fine up to $38B.
Among other rules, companies now have to ALLOW USERS to install custom apps and remove the default ones.
Apple instead allowed other companies to add their own stores but they still have to pay huge onboarding fees and certain revenue shares. European authorities assumed these rules are absolutely not what the law requires. They launched an investigation that will end in Spring of 2025.
For the first violation the fine is up to 10% of revenue or $38B, but it will double for the second one and may lead to other limitations.

#NVIDIA market cap surpassed every other corporation. They are literally the most expensive company out there with over $3.33T in shares, while Microsoft is sitting at $3.32T — both grew recently due to their investments into AI.

😑 LinkedIn bros are getting out of hand. Dude hasn't stopped there, wasn't trying to turn it into a joke. Instead, he spent a few days saying that it's a great form of mandatory team building.

Imagine the game that was originally developed since 2003 and till 2010, then completely forgotten and never officially released (considered lost), then in 2021 it was published on Torrents. This release proved that the game was almost ready, fully playable, and fairly good.
😳 And now out of nowhere an improved version has been announced! Will be on Steam "soon".

Indie clicker Banana got out of hand: you can click over and over and get a random 🍌 as the reward. Some are expensive and can be sold on Steam for up to $1300.
Which ended up with 400000 bots trying to earn some easy $$$.
