So, here I was thinking of a few historically documented events (they are called movies now), so in 1937 a man named Walt gave us the recollections of a girl who used to live with several individuals, namely Warwick David, Peter Dinklage, Kenny Baker, Mike Edmonds, Malcolm Dixon, George Claydon and David Rappaport. They all worked in the mining industry. But then I saw this so called ‘evil person’ with a magic mirror and then I saw it, that bitch was a Technomage. She was using a magic mirror (aka raspberry pie fitted two way mirror) to set the stage. What an evil wench. Well, two can play that game and as the idea took hold of me, I starting to consider.
So what if a new place like Warner Brothers Abu Dhabi had this gimmick, a mirror that is also a communicator. It links to your mobile and allows two way communication with whomever you are talking to. The idea is to apply a filter (through the app) that gives it that magical shine. And taking the elements of Hogwarts, there are 4 options. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor, the all have the same filters except two, these are house driven. A smoky filter (Yellow, Blue, Green and Red) and now, as we are now 89 years later, we have basically mastered miniaturization and we can make it a lot smaller. I would argue that each house has two options, the mirror you can set on your desk and a smaller one that you can fit in a bag, and when you answer the call, the mobile sends it to the mirror. I would argue that you could have 4 buttons on the mirror so you can call your 4 best friends, optionally these buttons are on the frame, so that the buttons can be a little bigger and the 5th on the mirror initializes the call. Wouldn’t that gimmick (original ‘creator’ the evil bitch from Walt’s company) fit nicely in the arsenal of merchandise that could be created and there are a few months before the new TV series start and I reckoned that the Abu Dhabi park opens up either in that same time, but the article tells us that this part of WB will open I 2029, as such Miral (the operator in Abu Dhabi) has time to look at the the options to create this merchandise for real and create alternatives. Or, at least investigate whether this idea could be made real. And from there they could offer it to the Wizarding World for real. A small idea to hand to Miral is that the United States is almost out of cash, so handing them credit might not be the best idea.
Well that is it for me and this idea came out of the yellow (I’m a Hufflepuffer). In other news Blooloop confirmed two days ago “Warner Bros. has confirmed that the Harry Potter area in its Abu Dhabi theme park will be the only one in the world to feature recreations of the iconic Hogwarts Castle and Diagon Alley locations, as well as a Forbidden Forest.
We got last week (1st September) when Warner Bros. released a teaser video for the expansion at its annual ‘Back to Hogwarts’ event.” The video can be seen (at https://blooloop.com/news/harry-potter-abu-dhabi-lands) so at present you know as much as I do, apart from the innovative ideas that are forming in my mind to upgrade the mirror setting. Oh, as we are also given (by Blooloop)“Currently, the only theme park home to a recreation of Diagon Alley is Universal Studios Florida. A scale model of Hogwarts is found in the neighbouring Islands of Adventure, and although it is connected to Universal Studios Florida by a replica of the Hogwarts Express train, it is a completely separate park.”
So that’s it for today and I need to think of another filter to make the mirror ‘more’ magical and why stop at 2? The idea to insert the house crest in your communication is also an idea and there is more. The idea to link the apps that you have to the mirror when you are not communicating, as such whatever app is on your mobile (like accio dobby) or whatever the app world has to offer now, just thinking out of the box.
This is the setting we have seen plenty of time and in all forms of situation. I scarcely wanted to believe what I saw, but the BBC might misrepresent things at times, but they never lie and as we see ‘Xbox caps cloud gaming at 15 hours a month for Game Pass subscribers’ is what I call pure treason. There is no question of funds, or limits and of settings as I personally see it and I am happy that I rejected the Xbox over 5 years ago. So as we see “Xbox is introducing strict monthly time limits for Game Pass subscribers who stream games online through its cloud gaming service.
The changes, which come into effect in November, will see a subscriber to the £16.99 Ultimate monthly plan able to stream games for up to 15 hours a month – before having to purchase additional cloud play time. Xbox said the limits were due to the rising cost of cloud gaming, and they would allow the firm to “continue to invest” in the service’s “reliability and performance”.” For reference I almost played 20-25 hours on my PS5 this Friday and Saturday. As such this limit would have been met within the first weekend of the month. So as we see “Asha Sharma, Xbox’s chief executive, told the BBC in an exclusive recent interview that the company and the industry as a whole needed to “start to innovate on affordability and efficiency,” amid a “crisis” in computing prices.” I think that this is not the whole story. Gamers are draining their AI token space setting and that needed to be culled (AI token space is perhaps not the best definition, but it is what I am working with) So what was once good is now no more. And for Xbox users (my personal view) is that this is a good reason to switch to another platform. We saw this setting in part when in 2012-2017 there was a trade agreement (I forgot the name and I can not find the article I wrote, I wrote over 4000 of them). But there was a setting where that agreement was setting in motion to take out 2nd hand games. In the last minute Sony gave a presentation where one Sony executive handed over the disc to another executive, all whilst Don Mattrick cut his fingers first in this. It was the end of him and Xbox. Now whilst we see that Sony is ending discs, Microsoft is setting in motion a transfer and trades from disc to digital. It is the beginning of the end, because when net neutrality ends, gaming is over, or you must be willing to pay for the plus hundred of hours a month and that will get expensive really fast. The stage I am unaware of is what will Nintendo do. We see the ‘Code in box” mentions, but that is not a guarantee that physical gaming is at an end.
There is no soft message from either Sony or Microsoft that is ever to be believed (like “We’ll sort something out” or “We will stand by you” that time is over and whilst there are options in a few ways there is no telling what 2027/2028 brings. And what is the betrayal of gamers (in my humble opinion?) It is the sentence that is embedded in the article “Both cloud gaming and AI use data centres to process information.” And as I see it, the noise around this (given below) is part of this.
And I have a problem with this. Microsoft insulated themselves by getting the IDC to ‘proclaim’ “By 2028, IDC predicts 1.3 billion Al agents will be embedded in enterprise workflows. The challenge is no longer adoption.” I personally think it should be in the meat section right next to the boloney. What data was used to give this prediction? Scare tactics to get into the AI agents or go under section? At present there are massive issues with the quality of technical support, customer care and a few other settings. As such there is no way that 1.3 billion AI agents will be used, unless you consider the AI agents cybercrimes set, is that an optional premise? There are massive issues all over the field, but as such Gamers can be cut from any agreement, because it is just not business. I haven’t figured out what disclose systems have to do with that, but usually limiting gamers is never good for the gamer. I am drawing in part a blank, but I have learned over the last few decades that it tends to be corporate greed, not corporate ability that limits a gamer. As such I would have to give my vote (for now) to Nintendo. But perhaps Sony wisens up in 2027, because that is where the hard numbers will take them. Microsoft is a lot cause, no doubt about it, but Sony could reset their systems. And yes, the PS6 is likely going to be more expensive. Fine. I have had my PS5 for years now and it has served my immensely. I would have that my optional PS4 will do the same. I still have my PS4 too. Some older games are still good and playable there. Not everything needs to port over (nice if it does, but reality tends to be different) and that is fine. Perhaps Bethesda will port more games and they might ask for a fee, I have no issues with that. I bought with great joy the remastered Oblivion and I never regretted that. Like some movies, you can upscale hardware, or you can get the 4K version. And so far that act has been amazing. As such I recon that players like Guerrilla Games might kick of the expanded Horizon 3 for the PS6 with Horizon 1 and 2 added and gamers will pay good money for that. It could become their most successful game ever. And lets not forget, that franchise game started on PS4 and it never, not once disappointed. There are more games and I reckon that Microsoft has its own champions there too. So at what point was it a good idea to stop disc-less settings? If there is real truth in this agentic agents the need for Physical discs is clear, as such something does not add up. Perhaps I am not seeing it, but as I saw the treacherous sentence embedded in the BBC article, I got to think the worst of Microsoft (yes, it is possible for them to do worse) as such I reacted to that setting of gaming under a taximeter. And they know that, the average gamer spends 40+ hours a week gaming and that has been clear going pack to the original Xbox, so why the taximeter now?
And if this is the future of gaming, the disc-less setting starts making sense in a greedy corporate way, if it is storage for the PS6 games, there are other solutions (like two discs, one for installation) and gaming on the second disc. This has been done before but as I see it, the net neutrality is about to hand us gamers a bitter defeat and the rural gamers will be hit twice over. We need to do something and I am puzzled as to what could be done.
So back to the BBC article. We are also given “Jez Corden of Windows Central told the BBC the announcement showed that “absolutely nothing is safe from the AI-driven component crisis,” but he added it also highlighted “where Microsoft’s priorities are”.” And that is fine, but it also implies that Microsoft is deserting their gamers all for fake AI, because that is the silliest part, all AI is fake and when you consider the works of Alan Turing you will get that this world is not ready for anything real. The computers lack several components and when they have these components it is only for billionaires. Im not a billionaire and I reckon you aren’t either. There is more but that is well over a decade in the future, but these things are done now, as such we see people chasing phantoms in a system that doesn’t allow ghosts. What a funny situation.
So what kind of treason is self-delusion? Because that is also treason and people can say that it is all open me, that I am committing treason against myself. But consider what has happened and what is happening at present. I believe that I am right, even though I have a few banks on Microsoft, but I dumped that system years ago, so I do not care, but gamers have embraced the Xbox and gamers I care about. They can change system, but not everyone has that kind of cash, because the days of the $299 Atari 2600 are over. Today you need serious cash to embrace gaming and that is where the truncation starts. The lack of options. I gave an option to Saudi Arabia and I hope they embrace this setting, because they could gain billions of gamers and there is still the steam-deck, I never had one, because Sony made me happy, but there is a new wave forming. I merely hope it is a Japanese setting and not an American setting, because they are going from bad to worse. And there is still the Nintendo.
All choices and we must make up our minds. I merely hope that Sony comes to their senses (or better inform us) before December 2027. Have a great day and if needed find a console that doesn’t need a taximeter to play games. I just had an idea, what if SEGA relaunches his Dreamcast? They had plenty of really good games. Its just an idea.
That sounds like quite the assignment, but it isn’t. It merely connects to the sides not looked at. I for one did not consider that the story for the last two days was by itself, but it fits the setting of the TV series Engonos I was creating over the last year. More of a setting towards the end of season one. It bares consideration, even though there are a few hiccups. One of them is the massive neglected way that Final Draft deals with copied text, It is a large headache and I was considering what to do and next is the setting that I might have to re-see the option of upgrading down the line and for now do it all in pages. Personally I think that this makes the matter worse (for now) but that inkling was a hopefully unexpected surprise on the horizon. Still there are options to consider.
Still at present I am looking at what the world is throwing at me and it is a feeling. Because that is all have to go with. There are a few reasons I do not trust the numbers that the United States throws at us and I will explain the setting that I have. First there is ‘The US economy added 162,000 jobs in August, more than double expectations’ (source: CNN) it shows that Leisure and hospitality added 62K jobs, in September? The summer is at an end and there might be a reason, but it feels like someone is passing the message that summer in the USA was not wasted, all whilst the international travel numbers have been down. Then we get (from an unnamed source) that ‘Trump Threatens Trade War on Deficit Countries If Fed Refuses to Cut Rates’, which is the bully tactic we expected to see, but a trade war on condition that the Federal reserve doesn’t cut rates? So if my accountant doesn’t hand me more money I am going to bully my clients? That is weird, isn’t it? So as we see: “President Donald Trump issued one of his most sweeping demands yet to the Federal Reserve on Friday, September 4, 2026, calling on the central bank to slash interest rates to the lowest level of any country in the world following a stronger-than-expected August jobs report that added 162,000 jobs and significantly exceeded forecasts, while simultaneously threatening to halt trade with every country the United States runs a trade deficit against if rates are not cut. “Great jobs number just announced, breaking all estimates (except mine!) by double and triple,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday, adding: “EMPLOYERS ADDED 162,000 JOBS IN AUGUST. Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago!”” But there was a reason for showing you this. You see, yesterday several sources gave me ‘Trump says will ask Europeans to repay US for aiding Ukraine’ which is something that wildly borders the insane. And as Europe is starting to realise that Russia could be moving towards Europe, there are a few sides to “US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he will ask Europeans to repay the American aid provided to Ukraine under the administration of his predecessor Joe Biden.” And there is the upside that he will be absent at the 9/11 memorial because there is every chance that people will lynch him there, just a thought to consider. You see, all this is making sense when you consider that a $40,000,000,000,000 debt and its pending interest bill is strangling this administration. We all see the bleak words “A nation cannot go bankrupt, it could always print money” but Germany did that in 1923, it was a nightmare slip unlike any German had faced before and 99% of all retirements were wiped out in a day, making their entire retirement less valued that a loaf of bread. The other 1% lost their value the day after. That is the setting that this US administration is heading for, because that is a bleak reality of the setting we see now and whilst there are people calling me crazy and they are ready to call me insane, but watch what happens, this setting is nearing its final battle. All this and the evidence (as given) is accepted by too many people as a “at no cost to the USA” which is already crazy as hell, but the headline ‘The US and Venezuela: a century-old relationship drenched in oil’ given to us by the Guardian with the subtext ‘Trump ally defends Venezuela oil deal amid ‘gunpoint diplomacy’ criticism’ and the additional stage of ’Nobel laureate Machado: ‘Illegitimate’ Venezuela regime has no right to strike US oil deal’ where questions needed to be asked of that Venezuelan regime, because the actions of an illegal act come to mind, but that is optional not on the US side. If the US is able to make a questionable political act there is merely the question if it was illegal and under that guise the UN would have to intervene, because that is what we all signed on for on October 24th 1945 and debt be damed (as some might say), but this setting is one that has grim repercussions for the United States, the question becomes (as the Guardian gives us “Decades later, little appears to have changed. After a brazen night-time kidnapping of the country’s leader earlier this year, Donald Trump announced last week that the US was taking majority control over about a fifth of Venezuela’s oil reserves. That deal, according to the White House, “secures our energy dominance for the next century”. How much it will benefit Venezuelans is yet to be seen. The country’s importance to the US has been proven time and time again over the past century. Home to what are now known to be the world’s largest known oil reserves, Venezuela kept allied planes, ship and tanks well fuelled during the second world war.” There is a sickening realisation that this money grabbing administration is out and about to secure whatever it can, because the funds are drying up, up to $90K per second and that realisation is something that Washington is feeling nervous about and whilst the Federal Reserve is doing its job, it is not to the liking of this administration, because Washington is ready to start additional trade wars if the interest is not lowered. The United States has become this desperate and whilst I noticed the Venezuelan issues 2-3 days ago, it matches the sentiment and all whilst we get to hear “The United States is currently experiencing a widely declared “golden age of AI,” driven by massive private tech spending and federal initiatives like the White House AI Action Plan” which I call a brazen misdirection because a golden age is felt by all, not by 6 tech giants showing money to each other and that setting was illuminated by the three stooges. They wanted to represent the banks in that matter. Isn’t it weird that in 1953 they did the same for AI? (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pENxsLVR_Xs) I wonder if anyone else saw that nice relationship. So as some are realizing that the Golden age of AI was going to be late (I saw this setting over a year ago) we have to see what is left of the United States when the bills come calling, because whilst the United States is so called “repay the American aid provided to Ukraine” the dangers is that as “U.S. Treasury bonds faced a sharp sell-off and pushed yields to 20-year highs in August 2026, driven by surging oil prices, inflation fears, and a growing national debt” (source: the Guardian) another issue I saw coming and all whilst several nations are now withdrawing their gold reserves from America. And whilst we see (source: Reuters) that the U.S. Treasury announced it would double its long-end debt buyback operations from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation and they are already in deficit by 2 trillion dollars, I reckon that a figurative setting of adding $6 trillion to the US debt might be cause for concern. That last bit is my speculation, because I feel certain that the additional 2 trillion isn’t anywhere one the books and I recon the initial 2 trillion was negated and an operational cost that had not been settled in yet. So I might be wrong on the $6 trillion part, but after we see all that transpired, I wonder how wrong I am.
The question now becomes, what will the United Nations do? It has a firm responsibility towards a nation like Venezuela too and whilst there are mental capacities in play (I for one have never received a free gift of $5 trillion and I would be hesitant to accept such a large amount, because Venezuela might not be liquid enough to hand over that amount of funds) but that is the setting and I do not envy the job of the UN at present, these settings are hitting us all at the same time and whilst I still have issues with some of the numbers handed to us. The setting is that the USA now has power over a fifth of the Venezuelan oil reserves set to over 17 oil fields holding an estimated 65 billion barrels of crude oil (source: the Conversation) this after we got whilst the camping trip to Venezuela was set and I raised it a year ago (December 2025) things were not making sense and after Greenland and Canada, I raised that. As I see it, the puzzle pieces are showing a nation to insolvent to continue and I might be wrong about that, I am no economist, but the numbers are telling me a framed picture whilst everyone else is showing me that the picture is different. I personally wonder who they are showing their colours to and I am unwilling to change my stance, I am no economist, but numbers I know and they are showing a different picture. Am I right, am I wrong? You see we used to rely on the media, but they lost too much credibility. It comes with the clickbait setting and the run to digital dollars.
So, feel free to disagree with me and have a great day today.
There is a setting we see and we ignore, but I am not one of these people. You see all AI is fake and the sooner you realise this, the better you are off. For example, yesterdays article was ‘stated’ as “a creative fiction story dated September 3, 2026, presented as “part one.”” Yes, the end of the article stated “the end of part one” and the title was “Where gods are left for dead” but Grok went with the part one side. This is how clueless AI (aka Fake AI) really is and there is more, none of these fake AI’s can deal with multidimensional points of view. It is programmed and as the programmer loses sight of things, these fake AI’s do that too. So as we get into part two of this story, I need to add that between part one and part two is a gap, this gape relies on civil engineering and I never studied that, I ‘merely’ studied ships engineering (apart from my three uni degrees) and this makes me a dirty old man (people from the 70s get that one). So lets not dilly dally and get to it.
Beginning of Part two As I was looking on this small alcovian setting I looked at a brass door with no real entry point, I expected that, as such I had brought two elements. One was a sticky rope drenched in Nitric acid and I brought a dispenser with hydrochloric acid. I went for the nitric solution first, knowing that it might take some time. I had a little hip flask with cognac, but I wanted to leave this unless the temperature would drop a lot more. It was slightly too warm for that. It was merely two minutes later when the gaps in the brand door started to show. I quickly ascertained that the other side was empty, the lack of light was an indication of that. I had a diamond with and a stick to make short work of that. It took a few more minutes as the door got melted a lot more and in the mean time I had sawn sides clear and it was under 10 minutes when the gap was large enough to fit through. I hesitated on the other side were hundreds of dead rats, it could have been thousand plus, I did not care to count them, bit the bones were everywhere. I took my simless mobile to ascertain the air quality. It wasn’t good, but there were no toxins, at least not the ones I could scan for. I decided to keep my breathing solution on and carefully went through the hole. The crisping sound of cracking rat bones were pretty intense, this place carried sound like nothin I have seen and the room was ring shaped with water in the middle. An optional exit point. The edge had an ascending staircase and it went through a door. I scanned the stairs and they looked OK, so I ascended to the door at the end which would have led to another room. The door was fine, it was solid oak and it has ironwork all over it, a strengthened door and I felt hopeful that that this would lead to the solution of my nightmares. There was an oak barrier stopping the door from opening. So it was meant to keep something in. I opened the door. In the room was a simple altar and something on top, it seemed like some kind of shield partially encased in something that looked like lead. There was a thin book next to it. I decided to look into that after I had examined the altar looking table. It was on top of something and from one side I could see that this thing was keeping a pressure thingy in place. I t gave me an idea and I quickly walked back to the entrance and I grabbed two pieces of brass, I might need that.
I walked back to the altar and put the pieces on the ground.
I then opened the book, it stated:
Ego Guillelmus Noelett, sanctitatis suae Urbani Papae VI servitio, lectorem de transgressu meo moneo. Hic carcer essentiam dei Graeci Iovis continet, in cornu Amaltheae inclusus, ut captivus numquam esuriat aut sitit. Ingressus cornu ocreis Herculis obstructus est, ne effugere possit. Duo scuta sunt Scutum Achillis et Scutum Aegidis. Tria a deo Graeco Hephaesto facta. Haec infrangibilia sunt. Vidi duos fabros ferrarios scutum Achillis malleis gravibus horis percutientes; scutum autem nec fractum nec flexum est. Mirabile erat. Deum Graecum continere debuit. Partem plumbi in eo inclusimus ut coniungerentur, et pondus laqueum sustinet ut omnia in loco teneantur. Si signaculum ruptum erit, tectum in transgressores corruet. Numquam Iovem dimittatis, cum eius libertate omnes alii dii liberi quoque revertentur. Ei devincti sunt. Numquam vestigium Neptuni aut Hadis invenimus, sed postquam omnes alios deos cepimus in noctem evanuerunt, fortasse ei coniuncti sunt nec eos dimittere possumus. Christus in servitute nostra pro bono hominum pendet.
At present you can either learn latin, or read the English version below.
I Guillaume Noelett, in service of his holiness the Pope Urban VI hereby warn the reader of his trespass. This prison holds the essence of the Greek god Zeus, it is encased in the horn of Amalthea. So that the prisoner will never go hungry or thirsty. The entrance to the horn is barred with the greaves of Hercules, so that he cannot escape. The two shields are The Shield of Achilles and the Aegis shield. Three items that the Greek god Hephaestus made. They are unbreakable. I witnessed two blacksmiths hit the shield of Achilles with heavy hammers for hours, the shield died not break or bend. It was amazing. It should hold a greek god. We encased part of in it lead to keep them together and the weight supports the trap to keep it all in place. Should the seal be broken, the roof will collapse on the trespassers. Never let Zeus out, with his freedom all the other free gods will come back too. They are bound to him. We never found any trace of Poseidon or Hades, but after we had captured all the other gods faded into the night, they might be connected to him and we cannot let them out. Christ depends on our servitude for the good of mankind.
I looked at the script and pocketed the script. It was as I suspected, I then looked at the altar. I placed the part of brass and I inspected the strength. I then also picked two rods of iron, they were meant for another option, but it was was good as it got and when I placed the iron rods and the brand pieces on the sides, I glued them to the foundation of the pressure plate. It should hold, unless the shields were a lot more heave and I tested this by raising the shield a few millimeters. It did not move. Satisfied, I placed another coating of resin on the rods and after a few minutes I was convinced it was safe to do so, I tried to raise the shied. It was remarkably light, it had the lead weight, but that was it, the entire contraption was no more than 40 lbs. and 30 of them were lead. I took the shield and went the way back. I had no idea if the pressure plate jam would hold and I was not eager to loiter around. I went back moved the shield back into the previous room and left the cistern in the middle for what it was, too many question marks. I got back to the room and move back to the shallow grotto and small stream that connected to it. I reckon that at some point people will figure it out and I wanted to be far from there when that happened.
I got back to the entrance where the car was at 18:15, I wanted to wait as long as I had because there is no reason to be rushed. It was 02:45 when I put my head above the ground and I quickly for into the van and I rode off past the viale Vaticano, only when I passed the Quadraro did I sigh out and released the stress in my body. It was only 25 minuted to the Jetex Rome Ciampino where a plane would be waiting for me and not to mention the reward of a lifetime and my employer never let me down, in other news, the drawings and artwork could bank me millions in addition and I had already cleared that this was all mine. An interesting turn of events. There is even the the setting that I the ‘jail’ had elements worth its weight in diamonds, but that would be under advisement. I was not greedy and the images would be worth its weight in gold, even if I just hocked them off as digital figment of copied works. This was a far better setting than I have every had and the ego of mine to take something from the Vatican was worth more than all the gold in Italy. Time to get ready for a flight to a place called Thessaloniki Airport “Makedonia”
With this I end part two. Just a setting to stretch my imagination and in all this slop of debatable news and social media slop, it was the best I could do to ensure creativity survives. Apparently several Fake AI have shut down, which doesn’t bother me as I tend to rely on my old grey cells as a solution.
Yes, story time. This came to mind after I saw the movie conclave, which was a lot more worth its time when you think back on the movie than whilst you see it. The setting of cardinals (not the football players) is a lot more worthy then you think it is (If you never saw the movie) and you don’t need to be a religious fanatic to appreciate the movie. And after seeing the movie (I also checked if it was actually fixed in the Vatican, which it was not) the setting was pretty overwhelming. I also saw some 4K touristy movies on the walkthrough on the sisteen chapel (with roof view) and these sights gave me the setting of what comes. You should never waste the imagination of grey cells. Ask Ryan Gosling, he went to the Tau Ceti system after all (a massively good movie) so there is plenty of immersion and excitement to go around. I wanted to bitchslap Sundar Pichai at first through a public service announcement, but at present my new Google Pixel 11, decided to behave. As such I don’t have the screenshot to make Sundar shiver with fear. But that will come, don’t you worry.
So story time. Lets get cozy.
It was a warm day and I was looking over a silo that was kind next to the Via dei Servi where the Leonardo Interactive Museum was. And it was not that what had me bothered. You see, the attic had a smaller attic the held a map that I wanted very badly. As I saw it, it was a forgotten gem of Italian maps, a foundational map that was somehow forgotten in all the chaos of yesterday and it had some of the most ghastly of settings. So as I walked on the roof of a building, there was nothing to be heard and it needed to remain silent, because the smallest noise and too many people would start to look and that would never went my way. There were too many sides that could spot me. So as I went from roof to roof, I was now only one roof away from the Leonardo Interactive Museum. I studied the roof and aw that one place that was off. it was not driven into smoothness. That must have been the place. I studied the roof pats and there it was, I compared it to the movie I had made from the inside and the windows showed exactly where it was, there was a small additional space and the terracotta pans looked older there. So o got to that point and slowly started to move the pans, first I nailed a hemp sheet with wax layer to part of the roof, then I removed the wax cover, so that I could place the tiles and they wouldn’t accidentally slip and fall. The wax was a simple bee wax, there was no way it could be traced. Then I drilled a small hole in the roof and let a small wire down. I looked, it was black as night, the infrared option showed me some kind of dusty room completely dark. The sight was energizing, because this means that the story was seemingly true. I saw a few benches and they looked wooden. I looked at the roof again and measured the 4 by 5 pans I had to move and I started. I moved the rest of the 20 tiles onto the hero sheet and it took me the better part of 5 minutes to do this, I tested the hemp sheet and it all looked sturdy. I then got a small portable gypsum saw and I worked the first thin wooden beam. That went smoothly, these wooden beams were dry as fuck, the gypsum saw made short work of it and when the lower side was done the first beam was done, 10 more minutes and the other 5 bemas were cut I folded the wax sheet over the pans and placed the beams on that. It all looked unmovable, I then placed a small net over it all and fastened it to the roof, just in case a wind should blow. I then lowered my backpack and slingback to a wire fastened to the roof and in I went.
The room was pitch dark, which might have explained why no one thought of looking there. My daylight goggles showed nothing out of place, merely centuries of dust and there was plenty to be had. I got a canister of air from the backpack and cleaned the wooden bench. It looked immensely old. It should fetch a decent euro if it was ever actioned. I moved to the side to see and old map archive and opened it. It had loads of maps and I liked through them. Then I saw the maps I needed and I took images of them all before moving them. There was no such thing a bad luck and I carefully folded them all in a roll and placed them in my pvc canister and they fitted well, I had taken a canister two inches bigger then I needed and I rolled the entire collection up. The other drawers were mostly empty with nothing much in the way of art. Then the lower drawer had even more maps and even a parchment or two. I had not counted on that, but I had brought more canisters and they weight next to nothing and now it turned out that they were a godsend (an applicable label for this) and as I completed the setting I went back outside. Whilst first applying thick double sided take to the open hole so it could carry the weight of the ceiling beams. I might have used to much of that, but better be safe than sorry. Then I placed the thin beams back to their original place I then applied thick wack over the beams and especially the places where they were cut so that water wouldn’t find entrance there, I then placed a plastic sheet over that and applied more wax. Then I place back the pans and the roof looked almost what it looked like and I vacated the area, putting the hemp and net in a plastic bag. Leaving nothing behind and whilst I retraced my original steps I took extra tie to see if my location was not observed. 25 minutes later I was back where I started and it was only a block way from a block from a large garbage bin and dropped the waste. I felt good whilst I walked back to the car and drove back to Rome where the jackpot was, It was a mere 274km and almost 3 hours drive, but I was energized with the findings I photographed. In the end it took me 215 minutes to get back to my garage and whilst I looked like a slightly mature art student, I walked back to my apartment, where a table and a well deserved espresso machine would make me my cappuccino.
As I looked at the art and maps I was taken aback, the art was old, really old and whilst some might take it at face value, I recognised the work of the artist, but not the drawings. The autograph told me these drawings were from Andrea del Verrocchio. This is quite the find and I carefully stored them. 5 drawings with charcoal would easily be worth over a million euro’s each. That was a decent price for a week of sneaking. But it was not the price, so as I had away the goods I returned to the table. These maps had to be identified and the drawings were immensely old early 14th century and several had a coat of arms, which I didn’t recognise.
As I understood it, there were rooms far below the sisteen chapel and there was no way in or out, not anymore, but there was one option, it was an old sewer system, it only grazed that location and grazing was enough for me. I understood the assignment and it would be one hell of a trip, I set out to get the equipment I needed, first there was a gfasprrof suit, because these sewers were loaded with germs of all kinds gong pac to plague ridden Italy, then there was the rat repellent, these buggers bit into anything, then the hardware for drilling and cutting and there was a good chance that one trip was not enough, but it hd to be done in one go, because something like this will alert every institution in the world and I could not leave traces, not anything. So first a scouting party to where the entrance lies. The I thought of another option and I looked at the map again. This might be possible, but scouting was essential and for that I needed to visit a hobby shop. A drone ship was required, a remade version of the LCVP (aka Higgins boat) with a small addendum, adding snow tracks below the boat would let it move where there was no liquid and as he worked out the dynamics of it all the design formed in his brain. He got his 10 inch boat and added the tracks, he then added 4 power banks which would let it go a much longer way and he attacked a encrypted camera and added the observational settings in his little van. There were even provisions to let it submerge completely in case there were sunk settings of the sewer. Two days later he had the contraption he needed and as he studied the map, he realised that in every nation governments were seemingly lazy and an opening might be found in the Viale Vaticano. So he looked into an old CCTV setting, because these old systems were designed to detect faults, He needed none of the, merely to see it intersecting was possible and whilst he could not go there, his mini Higgins could see where he could enter. So whilst he parked his van on the Viale Vaticano, he had adjusted the van to drop stilts behind every wheel to support this van on the ground because a moving and shaking van would still attract all the wrong attention. As such he get into first gear and launched the Higgins through an open grate and close it immediately after that and as he did this at 03:00, he remained unseen.
I just got back from a journey, the reason for this is that I stored a glitch (could be a bug) in my safety deposit box in the city of Nottelling. Perhaps I act on it, perhaps not, it is the second bug I find in an Apple. This is the first one I found in my MacBook Air and I only discovered it after a year of operating this baby in over a year. I never had it in my previous one, but I might not have had this situation before. The first one was a decent bug (very unflattering, but true) in my original G5, there you get the setting that if your FireWire Camera is connected, the firewire connection of your iPod classic will always fail (and that bugger gets hot, really hot) still, I got my optional second bug found.
So what is up today? Well, I was watching a 4K movie of exploring the great Pyramids of Giza when an idea hit me. You see, these 4K movies tend to have a lot more to show than you think and I saw one of Herculaneum and Pompeii recently and when watching this now is when it hit me. What happens when these movies are used to prototype in almost near completion gaming levels? And as it is based on 4K, the details are uncanny. And there are plenty of 4K movies out there. Rome (that village in Italy, famous for its Caesars, Pretorians and Roman soldiers (aka the Italian army), greek places and more modern the settings of places that are out and abundant in the world. The idea is that you have a decent map (optionally a little crude) and the 4K movie is fit over the map and as such the gaming stages (also for education and VR) are mapped out. We then get to the nitty gritty of it all, but when you get some of these movies they are from 75%-90% complete. And that could go a long way into the prototyping of these places and I reckon at a fraction of the cost, because once this system works you can produce place after place and most of these 4K movies are all around us. A player could contact the maker to see if they have any other materials (not published ones) and that could get a map up to 95%-98% completely prototyped.
And there is no limit to the educational setting of these places. You merely have to look at what these archaeologists have now and what they paid for it to see that these 4K movies of tourists could be the marker in several ways. The stage of Life in Herculaneum (it was a a mere 10km from that hill called Vesuvius) and over time we have had loads of places like Knossos (Crete), Machu Picchu (Peru) and also the not so ancient ones (Buenos Aires, London, Munich) and so on. Whether it is prototyping for education or gaming, the system remains the same and whilst you can verify how much time Ubisoft spend on prototyping Jerusalem for Assassins Creed, Florence for Assassins Creed 2 or Rome for AC Brotherhood and then take the eating of filling in the places from 4K movies and I reckon that you will get a massive saving for game creation (and education too) there is little doubt in my mind that should someone travel this new route, their projects will be completed a lot faster and optionally a lot cheaper than anything else. So consider the setting you get when these ancient times are used to fill levels of Call of Duty, Battlefield or whatever shooting game is now the hottest ticket out there, prototyping these places could be costly as such there is an idea that could send gaming not new direction at a decent reduction of costing.
And that is before you take a gander in some of the hottest places to kill your targets in someplace amazing like Harrods or the Mall of America Bloomington. Considering the optional costs that the game Blacklist required (the level with that enticing Christmas song), now consider what the cost of that level were, compared to walking through a mall with a 4K camera and getting that level prototyped in almost no time and I use prototyped here, because there will always be level based ‘adjustments’ needed.
So whilst I bid you a jolly farewell and wishing you a lovely day, I will return to my trusty PS5, optionally grumpy over Sony statement ‘Sony argues it’s already obvious that digital games aren’t owned by consumers’, is that so Mr. Sony. Then why are digital games more expensive than physical ones? If someone looks at the cost of a digital game versus a physical one, even in a day one setting, the digital one tended to be a lot more expensive. As such there is nothing obvious about that, being that the game is owned after you downloaded that and as I see it, this setting is depending on a changing setting around digital laws and I reckon that they were fearful of losing against Microsoft on the past, but as they is now no longer a threat, they are no longer fearful of the future. As such we could wait on what the God of War series and Horizon series will do because the world is a massive fan of these two, but if these two makers (optionally Bethesda too) decide another path not aligned with Sony, Sony will have its hands full holding onto the fans they have. I am in a city, but I am fearful what the non-city dwellers face, because it will take up to 5 years (if ever) before they have a workable solution. And losing this much fellow gamers is not my cup of tea. But that is a story for another day. I have done my bit for gaming, gamers, education and educators today, so I feel decently happy.
Enjoy your day of gaming, if only for a little while.
That is not always what it seems, but in this case it is a setting that Google (Apple too) could facilitate. Not sure where Apple is, because I am an android person, but safari as I can tell (using my iPad and so forth) Apple could fit this setting too.
My mind was wondering as I was on a imaginary well deserved vacation to Abu Dhabi and I was walking the Yas mall. Some ideas struck me, there was no real reason of this and there was no setting to this, it merely hit me. So, when you are on vacation, you tend to be away from it all and for me (a pure workaholic at heart) that is not always as good as it sounds. And there the idea started to come. So whilst I was aware of Chrome cast and Google Streamer (a little less aware of that one). Ideas started to form. You see, we all have this setting that we want to know what is possible and the idea formed that Google needed an Away option. An encrypted setting that could make a difference. So as this ‘package’ is set to your mobile, it can be filled with all kinds of information
Favorite TV series Your original location, Newspapers, TV stations, News stations, Sport details, and a few more after this.
So whilst most hotels now have smart TV’s, the tourists do not use this to the max and that is where my idea came in. And it was not just hotel, there are plenty of places where you have access to a TV and there is the rub. Why not use any of these options?
So whilst in your hotel, the mobile can be set to focus on ‘away’ events and that could also impart with government settings. For example someone visits Abu Dhabi from Amsterdam and they are in Abu Dhabi and in stead of searching for all information, the app has an encrypted package that is fed into the system and through that Google/Apple is able to distill information to you and to your TV. Making sure that the package is not left in the hotel, it will remain on your mobile. And it is read to the Google streamer system (or its equivalent Apple system) so when you are wherever you are (I used Abu Dhabi as an example) the network will give you what you need to know, including government warnings (it there are any) The simple thing is that this system can be upgraded any place you want, but it is left on your mobile.
So whilst we do not consider this directly, local news settings could be part of this and when hotels upgrade their Google/Apple streaming settings when they are ready all the guests tend to be ready too. So whilst you can direct search settings and compute them in the app you use, for example: ‘Netherlands, NOS, News, [Amsterdam], [Netherlands]’ and a whole range of other settings. For example your favourite news on YouTube like for example CBC News could be added and so forth. The idea is that you have a clear setting when you go on vacation and you will be instantly alerted to things happening when they are. And the you get back to your hotel and you select the app, the TV gives you the latest issues in play.
I reckon that Google/Apple might want to get ahead of this, because this idea doesn’t stay quiet for long and that is the case with any idea. So, if this interests you, have a go and be happy and if not, then not. Vacation is to be enjoyed, but I have learned that staying out of touch comes with a few setbacks and they need not be that for you. I merely had an idea and I decided to offer it to the net and see what comes of it. Optionally it is my delusional thoughts that have no place on vacations, but the setting in the USA at the moment are bringing that setting to the surface and whilst we acknowledge that Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘A house of dynamite’ is merely that, a movie, a story but when you see that the white house loudly announces “President Donald J. Trump has secured U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela” and when we are also given “all at zero cost to the United States” people tend to get nervous, because a barrel yields about 19 to 20 gallons (72 to 75 liters) and as petrol is now at roughly $4 a gallon, the White House seemingly proclaimed that they got $5.2 trillion dollars in fuel, at zero cost? What kind of government does that? As such people are getting nervous and I thought of a solution where people could go on vacation and at a moments notice keep informed. That and the fact that people in Nepal could have used this solution optionally last week. It wouldn’t stop the disaster, but in times of stress information remains at a moments notice (if possible) and in arms length. So that is another idea and I might be Google ended, but as I see it Apple could use it too or Elon Musk’s Star link. Because in times of stress there is reason to opt this as wide as possible and I am not on the payroll of any of these three, I feel perfectly validated to hand it to all.
Have a great day you all (hopefully free of stress)
That is what it looks like for me, where are the friends of Canada, where are its allies? The media exploits anything they can lay their fingers on for the mere setting of creating clickbait, but where is the news? There is some news and it was given to me by the BBC yesterday (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g4r4lxx25o) the story ‘The US-Canada trade war in 5 charts’ gives me the goods, but it leaves me with a whole range of other questions. We get the first chart where we see ‘Trade war hits Ontario hardest’, which gives is a chart where we see that British Columbia is hit hardest with 13.8%, then we get Quebec with 11% and then Ontario with 9%, but Ontario being the largest population with Toronto and Ottawa and several smaller ones taking care of almost 5 million people, giving us a little over 12% to the Canadian population. But where is the outrage of Commonwealthians? Where are their allies? Who stood up for Canada? If not what is the meaning for the entire Commonwealth if they cannot rely on their friends, all for the sake of an orange joker in the form of the President of the United States? Even now the White House is giving us “In the biggest oil deal in world history, President Donald J. Trump has secured U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela – vastly expanding our current U.S. territorial proven reserves of roughly 46 billion barrels. This deal secures our energy dominance for the next century—all at zero cost to the United States. The deal, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, gives the U.S. government powerful governance rights, economic ownership, and guaranteed low-cost off-take from a new private Venezuelan oil champion, which will be the second-largest private oil company by reserves in the world:” So where is that payment into the coffers of Venezuela? It only shows us that the right of the bully is the only one seemingly to count. And whilst I believe that this is the one of the final steps of a nation insolvent as ‘****’ (that stuff that makes the grass grow in Texas) and the lightly sprayed setting of “all at zero cost to the United States” so far I see AI training data bases stealing my IP at zero reward to me by allegedly (unverified) parties at Google, Anthropic, Grok and OpenAI, but zero cents in my bank accounts (let alone the minimum required setting of $25 million). So is that what the United States amount up to? Take it all and send them nothing? OK, lets also see that allegedly Sber/Yandex was also participant in getting my data at no expense to them, but that is merely the setting that Russia and the United States are both equally no good. So at which point can we see open support for Canada from Commonwealth nations like the United Kingdom, Australia, India and New Zealand? I a lacking that view, or it might be that the media isn’t willing to show that their is more than a circus of media setting whilst none off them express the old saying of “A wise man can play a fool, but a fool can’t play wise.” And we got one mortal combat styled video like that
Weirdly enough, there is no image where we see that Carney won (massively) none of those images made it into Google Search, I searched all over Google and I saw one image where the opposite is given, that is the amount of image manipulation we see. So as I see it, there is too much media acting against Canada.
Then we get the ‘Impact of Canadian counter-tariffs on US states; Value of US exports to Canada to be affected by tariffs (in billions of C$)’ where the states are hit with return tariffs from $77 million up to $3.2 billion, and that chart looks less menacing. And the ‘added’ setting is that “According to data by the Royal Bank of Canada, the average effective US tariff rate on Canada in June was 2.9% – the lowest among major US trade partners. It has now nearly doubled to 5.7%.” Which could be true, but the setting of cost is there. So where is the outrage, where is the media giving us James Murray that he is improving import of Canadian goods, optionally replacing the United States? Where is the the Hon Don Farrell, Minister for Trade and Tourism stating that he is giving preferential treatment to his peer Canada over the United States? Because that is what a true ally does. And apparently we seemingly get nothing.
Or is that the media playing it coy with the true settings of the Commonwealth? It might be me, but that is what I see. So, whilst I understand that we are given “Bank of Canada statistics suggest that Canadian firms are exporting more to countries other than the US since Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025.” So why do we get ‘suggest’, all whilst there should be data? Just a little consideration for you readers. I get that we are given “Canada’s exports beyond the US have risen sharply since tariffs were introduced”, the chart does not show clearly that it has been reduced, only up to April 2026 ad it is now almost at the old stage, the only thing is that there is more export, if that is true the tariff should bite as much, because that would show and then there is the power and water setting. The United States is highly dependent on Canadian power. So as we are given (by someone) that “Canada supplies electricity to roughly 1.5 million homes and businesses in the United States, primarily from provinces like Ontario and Quebec to neighboring U.S. regions including Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and New England” we hear that Doug Ford (Premier of Ontario) whistles a fine tune, but where are the invoices? According to AP News, where we see: ‘Could Canada leave US cities in the dark as part of the trade war? Not likely’, so where is the return tariff hitting the United States? I merely see Venezuela hiding its tail and the AP News gives a decent response here with:
CLAIM: Canada can shut off electricity in the U.S. and cause massive blackouts. THE FACTS: This is misleading. Canada, which provides electricity to some states, could stop the supply, according to experts, but it could not cause massive blackouts with the flick of a switch. The U.S. has enough other sources of electricity to make up for the gap, and economic impacts are more likely than a lack of power.
But the truth of the matter is that other sources give “Canada exports a significant amount of electricity to the United States, providing power to millions of American homes, though recent trade tensions have sparked political debates over these exports” as such there is the setting of AP News “U.S. has enough other sources of electricity” against some stating “Canada exports a significant amount of electricity to the United States” and apparently missions of homes are in that mix, so where is that dollar for dollar bill? I am merely asking, because I truest most of the media as little as social media.
But in all this the lack of support I see even now in Australian supermarkets and booze shops where American goods are reduced to lower shells and Canadian goods are on the visible shelves. And why is that? Is Canada not a Commonwealth brother (or sister)? Even places where we expect to see it first (namely New Zealand) I see nothing in the media (I can’t afford to take a plane to every setting I expect to see, which requires the yanks to pay for my training data and my bank account is below $750, so yes that has not happened. (I would casually ask Sergey Brin to look into the matter as the has two hundred and fifty thousand million in his accounts), unless Gemini is utterly innocent in the matter, which I could question. But the 2,100 an hour for several days make me wonder that and as I am not showing the naked goods of a Hollywood star and I am not that good or famous (like Nicky Minaj, or MrBeast who has over 550 million followers) takes care of that part of the equation.
And you might wonder why I put myself in the mix, the simplest setting is that we often take care of number one first (that would be the me part) and then the rest and the rest (mainly Canada) is too much ignored and they are left to fight for themselves, which I find distasteful and utterly unacceptable as a Commonwealthian. As such these questions are raised, where is the media, where is the outrage and where are the clear supports for Canada?
I let you figure that out and consider what happens when you get the pressure from the United States (like Venezuela), I think I am already feeling the brunt of that (through my empty bank account) but as we see this happen, were should we look? It is a fir question because as I have given other (non-US) nations options. It is not assurance that others will listen, so where is the outrage where a bully gets the frontline, the media, the limelight and seemingly the revenue? So are Canadians continuing the looks on Lake America, are Mexican ships still fishing on the Gulf of America? Are oil tankers passing through the strait of America? Just simple questions that seemingly have little or no answer.
Have a great day today and Sergei, I will be keeping an eye on my bank account (actually it also means that I need to same question from Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk) its mean to single out little Sergey for all this.
So, after yesterday I cut the article short. There was a reason for that. I was adding what I am about to tell you yesterday, but I saw that the article was getting to verbose and that leads to people dumping all that effort I put into this (might not make sense, but that is what I found). So I kinda brushed on this in the past, but I was taking another look.
The game in question is Balance of Power, it was a cool game in 1985, but the political stage has changed. There is no longer the setting of the bad bear and the bald Canadian eagle, we have a lot more players and also technocrats. You know the grocery stores called Google (Alphabet), Meta (Facebook), Apple, Nvidia and a few more. There is also the stage of all that fake AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok) and a few others and when we talk about grocery stores, we much also talk about the milkman, that wholesome concoction made by Palantir (Alex Karp) and now that the Middle East and the Gulf States are more potent players in the world influence stage. And then I had an idea. There is one setting that bothers this setting. No matter how strong we set the stage, the world is in too much turmoil. So the idea is as follows
W have an annual file and through online papers and quality papers (Reuters, BBC, CBC) and a few others, so as these organisations are set into the light their reputation if under duress though Z-Scores and it will take someone more clever than me to set that in motion, so I gathered that news (like ‘Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and Google Just Racked Up US$160 Billion in AI Gains- But There’s a Catch’) and these articles always have an impact on the company, as such it is important to keep as close to the news as possible and whilst these players all get a monthly/weekly adjustment. That game would get a lot closer to the reality of political simulation than the original of 1985 ever was. And whilst we add the channels of internet and clouds never to TC and radio there is an impact study that could be an educational treasury for universities as well as graduated people. Interesting that others never considered this setting or the evolution of games in new directions. It is not a simple setting, there needs to be an algorithm of people, optional implementation of Z-Scores and the formulas on how to do that, with the annual files that resets the entire setting to nil (to the bare annual file) and there is an offset to corporations, countries and political players in this setting and the algorithm needs to be done close to a thousand times and in todays setting this is pretty easy, but it needs to be done every day and that is a complex setting and I admit that this wasn’t possible in 1985, but now it is a clear setting and when we leave this to fake AI, it becomes easier. You see, it is all set to data and to achieved notions, not predictions and that is where even fake AI is an achieved setting and it could speed up the stage.
There is also the considerations that media needs to be set to consideration, because if you have one source, the Z-Scores might also be negatively impacted (as in less reliable) because the setting of a target (corporation/people) becomes set to negative Z-Scores (decreasing standing) and positive Z-Scores (increasing standing), but I am guessing that this might keep the game actual and optionally factual.
So what is a Z-Score? A z-score is a standardized measure that shows how a value compares to the rest of the data in a distribution. As such there is the setting on how is impacts. Some will say it is the wrong use of this score, but when we have the tech-dudes, we will get to a average value of these people. So far all good, but what sets the average of Sundar Pichai, Alex Karp, Mark Zuckerberg or Sam Altman? I am getting to the setting that like the old expression (from the 60s) in the dark all kittens are grey, but now in the limelight all tomcats are black as night and there is a difference between limelight and under the Lightbox. So I think I am in a good setting, but it is something that could spark its own debate. For countries another formula applies and it is almost the same but when we take political, religion and a few others settings in play, it is likely to become massively complex.
So whilst this game can absolutely be upgraded, I also wonder if this could become a real educations tool for universities and political enthusiasts (do these people exist?) So, I have not worked out all the issues, but I tend to think that this is more the business of Chris Crawford who created to original game and it should remain his IP, I’m funny that way.
So whilst we see one game to be set into the 21st there is space for loads of other games to follow that setting and that is where Saudi Arabia has an edge, I have shown in the last two weeks that Saudi Arabia has the setting to make close to 10% of the invested amount through the upgrading of the old games, because they also have these IP in their setting now and this also implies that they could also improve the programming skills of the software houses they could unleash on all that gaming IP and they could even start a wave of games for streaming systems (which connects to the idea I had for at least two years). So as the setting clear towards the end of 2026, there is now a setting of balancing innovation, because the meaning of innovation is the practical execution of new ideas that create real value and improve products, services, or processes and that is what I have been doing for years and whilst others think it is folly. I have been playing games for the better part of 45 years over a dozen consoles, home computers and PC’s. So whilst we see that some are ‘written off’ as too old, or too limited, the reality is that these games were never considered to be combinable and that is where some of these games are the next influx of gamers and that is where those Business Analysts in these gaming houses, relied on Excel, but gaming is art and I have clearly seen that for decades. So now that Saudi Arabia has the IP for dozens of games, the rest is flying behind the wheelhouse (did I use the right expression?) They are now fishing behind the nets and whilst Saudi Arabia is gaining strength in this setting others will see that their old IP could be a decent setting for the future. So far I have seen on person cash in on his IP. It was David Braben and whilst he created Elite in 1984 (BBC Micro B/CBM64) , he renewed his game in 2014 and he made it an amazing game and it was well beyond the original and others could have that same setting, but they need to wake up.
That is what I am thinking of, not the semi-upgrade that a new iPhone gets you, but the upgrade that you get if you use a good idea from the Commodore 64 in the 90s and you give it some great graphics and a speedy results that are possible now. You tend to get a whammy of a game. Ideas range from an upgraded HERO (Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation) a game that Activision gave us in 1984, but wait, before you judge, take the simple setting and add to that a MetaQuest 3 helmet, upgrade the settings to a more defining graphical challenge, with Xray vision, to you can destroy the right wall, laser sights so you can destroy the right enemies and the might sound simple in the beginning, but what happens when the rest energy you have is accumulated into a stronger battery and stronger lasers? In the end we can add a stronger power cell to the Helicopter backpack and when the game evolves to longer time stacks, we could offer a larger revenue system. Also there is the idea to add in later levels walls (like Journey to the Center of the Earth, 2008) where you find gemstone walls, which gets you plenty of dineros and if you get the right diamonds a instant upgrade to the laser system (these puppies tend to be allegedly diamond enhanced) and those are just a few ideas on certain games. There is of course the setting that these makers had limitations to work with, but when we take those away and we add a MetaQuest 3, we can now push these games into a massively more interesting game and whilst the ‘original’ scored 94%, we could make it even more challenging, without taking the joy out of gaming. Because that tends to be be the downside of ‘new games’ like Electronic Arts wasted its powder on Dungeon Keeper and the need to buy Diamonds (micro transactions). But there is also an upside. Games like Magic Carpet could be renewed with a stringer setting without taking the pin out of the grenade and let it blow up in your face. There is still the setting that Populous and Populous 2 offered and that might give is smoother graphics, without spoiling the fun. These games still get tonnes of nostalgia and that should have been the warning shot for Microsoft and Sony, optionally Nintendo too to renew these bonds and see what could come of this. It is a simple step and when the right developer gets involved (or the original makers) to see what was possible. At present as most of this is now in hands of Saudi Arabia, they could look at renewing these games and presenting them to a new audience. It might be a simple setting, but gamers who get into a nostalgic mood and get offered the games that they spend weeks 24:7 on and gamers like that are the proper voices that could propel a game to a much larger audience. You merely have to do right by them and offer that feeling yet agains, without EA messing things up by setting it behind a money portal. Because that is what spoiled it for many.
So have a great day and consider (if you are old enough) what game kept you up all night? Because that could be the next setting for a renewed gaming experience. Have a great day, it just turned Monday for me (3 hours ago).
