Treason has many forms

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.

The Tourist package

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)

Allies? Friends?

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.

Never American

That is the setting we are given and it starts with (that nasty Canadian) CBC. I merely added the TNC mention so that the people in the United States see what I am talking about. It all started yesterday when I was given (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buy-canadian-movement-coming-back-9.7321802) ‘Consumers say ‘resolve is strengthened’ to buy Canadian, bringing patriotic shopping movement back to life’ and I am not surprised, whilst that person (an apparent joker) named Jamieson Greer wanted dairy access and booze access for American to Canada. I already states (I think it was last week) that this access does not guarantee that the Canadians will buy it and behold, we see “Since the U.S. first imposed tariffs on Canada in early 2025, Francine Piché has made a point not to buy American products. “The rule in our house,” said the Burlington, Ont., resident, “is Canada first, non-U.S. second, and never American, if we can avoid it.”” And there you have it from the mouth of an Ontarian (who now has to allegedly swim in Lake America) Never American. 

And when we get to “Piché has switched her personal care product brands, cancelled her Amazon membership and abandoned plans for a trip to New York in an effort not to give her dollars to the States, except when she can’t find another alternative.” You will see that the impact is a lot worse than some people think it is. So whilst tourism is in partial denial that there is an issue, over 75% of all Canadians went to the USA in 2024. This was settled in an unconfirmed way into ‘Canadian travelers spent roughly US$20.5 billion and supported 140,000 U.S. jobs’ as such the job market is taking a beating, billions that went into the USA is now going into the EU, the Commonwealth  and the gulf States. You still think I am beating around the bush? And for the booze section, as the Commonwealth has several options. Rum from Bundaberg, Gin from London, Vodka from Sweden, Whiskey from the UK and Scotland, as such when we see that “U.S. distilled spirits exported globally reached $2.37 billion in 2025, with major markets including the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Australia” I reckon that these three importers will now take the largest part of the American export share. So when we see more billions in sport being denied from the United States, the message becomes clear. We have had it with the administration of the United States and don’t think that it ends when someone kicks him out of the White House, this will take the better part of a decade to fix and there is no real expectation that it is going to get better any day soon, so when the tourists are gone and the booze is no longer accepted, what do you think will happen to what was at some point called ‘the land of the free?’ It is shackled to a burden that no one ever wanted. So when you get to the small stuff (like Approximately $41.6 million of maple sugar and maple syrup was exported by the United States in recent international trade data) how much is left after this is settled that people will prefer Canadian? So when Australia, the UK and other commonwealth nations will exclusively import from Canada, the larger setting is reached. And whilst I advocated for Tourism to abandon the United States, the larger groups of goods from the United States should be rejected from 2027 onwards. So there goes the economy of Vermont and Maine. As we see this happen, we need to take heed of another setting that the Conversation  gave us. (At https://theconversation.com/why-the-us-canada-trade-war-could-change-how-american-farmers-grow-their-crops-for-years-290504) where we see ‘Why the US‑Canada trade war could change how American farmers grow their crops for years’ and important section might be overlooked by a lot of people. Until yesterday I was not aware either. You see “Canada’s list includes dairy products and agricultural equipment, and there is an unspoken threat that it could expand to a crucial component in fertilizer that U.S. farmers rely on. I have studied agriculture and water quality for more than a decade, including whether trade rules change how farmers manage their land. In my assessment, the enduring effect of this trade war on U.S. agriculture, if it continues to escalate, won’t be a single bad season. Across thousands of farms, farmers may have to reduce their fertilizer use as prices – already high from supply disruptions because of the war in Iran – rise. It may have little visible consequence at first, but the lasting impact could emerge later in smaller future harvests if this trade war continues.” Do you have any idea what happens with a population when these harvest settings are thrown in turmoil? My father lived through the settings of hunger in WW2, the impact that it had on the population was enormous. Although, some will say that the female population was near 100% size zero, it is no way healthy and that is the setting that the United States has coming towards them, that is beside the point that the tariffs on power could trow the settings of this coming winter into a much larger state of animosity. I reckon that the Trump family will be a lot less safe in New York from 2027 onwards, New York largely relies on power from Canada, not to mention a few other states. Even states like California get part of their power through Canada. I guess that when power on the tariff that it fees, Hollywood productions will shut down really fast. All revenue lost and lets not forget the one anchor that comes every year the interest and it is now set to approximately $1,200,000,000,000 and as the setting is reduced to the United States, that bill will take on the shape of a behemoth. So whilst we get denial (through the CBC) where we saw ‘Trump’s top trade negotiator disputes Canadian assertion that U.S. made last-minute demands’ we can think that he lied, what is likely to have happened that he tried to slip in small settings on day one and when they come to the surface at the end of the talks, Ottawa pulled the plug on it all and as I see it, Canada isn’t the needy one, the United States are with their reduced revenue and increased interest payments. Canada has options and as I see it, the United States had to play a very different game here, but it is likely that the playbook Jamieson Greer was working with what handed to him by the White House who is great at bankrupting business, but not so good in maintaining a decent revenue setting and we are seeing this all over the field.

So whilst some say I am a doom speaker, consider that I have been making mentions of these elements for months and now that they all come to bare (not bear) at the same time, we will see politicians crying on how nasty Canada is. Well, they haven’t seen anything, because as the entire Commonwealth comes to the support of Canada the game changes and I was kind enough to hand the UAE and Saudi Arabia options for tourism and there’s more to come soon enough. So whilst some fake AI give you that “Total travel spending in the United States is projected to reach $1.42 trillion in 2027, marking a steady 3.4% growth from the previous year” all whilst the world is rejecting what the United States has to offer, so as you consider how fake the AI has become. This level of AI can only work with data it has and when it is fed preconceived data? The old GIGO law comes into effect (Garbage In, Garbage Out). A setting that was clear in 1984. 

Have a nice day you all and consider that these settings are of American makings. 350 million people make sure that Trump was elected president, take that in your pipe and smoke it, and when the infrastructure collapses, make sure you look in a mirror, because for over 50% of all Americans that is where you see the guilty party.

Intertwinning reminiscence

That happens and for kms it was a blend of a few things as I was watching the fantastic beasts movies in 4k. First of, I came up with the idea for actual giggle waters years ago. I saw it in the first FB movie and I was wondering how to do that (I have no degree in molecular biology) and according to my brain, I solved the solution (to put a pun forward) and I wrote about it in my blog around the time the movie was out. Then I came up with the notion of a printable display and it was regardless of dimensions. From there we went on, but I was unsettling to say the least. I was in some IT University, in one building the shape of a cube had at least 7 floors, but the top 5 floors were the issue, they were all used by PHD students, they all had their own mainframe and there were 4 mainframes in every floor, I reckon that several teams per mainframe (it only makes sense) but the floors were the conundrum, I drew the floor below.

I reckon there was some artistic reason for that, optionally it was to make sure that every floor had decent air-conditioning, but the setting was the space, these were roughly 7 by 7 meter floors the floors had open spaces in the floor and there were two winding staircases per floor, they went all the way to the ground floor, I reckon that every floor has a door getting to elevators, but I do not recall them, it is the only reason these triangles in the corner make sense, but there were no railing and no visible bridges to the triangle parts. I have no idea, but there was one server that had a large decal of the crest of Hufflepuff on its side. I reckon that this was intentional. I remember looking for something on that server, but it was vague and I cannot recall what I saw. The shape of the room is all I can recall, So I am trying to get back to the reminiscence part of the story. There was the giggle water and the printable display. There was something else, It was a third thing I came up with and it was not linked to the Harry Potter movies, it was linked to the books. You see, several years ago, I came up with an advertising idea for places like Monaco, a setting you can watch through glasses and mobiles, but the idea was done through QCodes. The idea was to have a QCode in a jewelry shop and the mobile would show you that ring or bracelet and when you put your hand under the lens, the phone would combine the two and voila, there was an image of that ring on your hand. As I saw it, it had great appeal to the tourists and as there was no interactions with the actual ring (or bracelet) there was no need for actual security on alert and when this is done once a month (or week) the push for advertising goes away as there will be scores of influencers doing the advertising for you, so if there are 200 million content creators and 68% is female (I think we can go to a naughty 69%) this gives the world 138 million advertisers and when in Monaco, everyone becomes an advertiser. As such I saw the setting that we could either pay for advertising or let the influencers do it for us and that is why I came up with the idea. Actually the origin of that idea came to me for public interest advertisement settings. When I thought about the malls (I used the Eaton centre as an example) the idea could be stretched to a newer level and I came up with some additional materials, but now we get back to the concept. What if the QCode gives us a flippable image of 3-5 pages of a book? And the publisher has that in control, they decide what pages are used and the people who scan that code suddenly have direct access to those 3-5 pages and if it is stored in a central server, the codes will only unlock that book and these pages for a certain amount of time, decided by the publisher. I know it is not fool proof, but it is merely 3-5 pages and when did you last see meaningful advertising in (or around) a bookstore? That was the idea that was bugging me, the idea is sound and it has a few connecting ideas next to all this, because the stage was created (during Covid) that the malls are empty and even now, malls do not have the pressing population it used to have, as such the need for stronger interaction remains and only engagement will push people back into malls. And yes, there might be plenty of wannabe influencers there too, but does it hurt to hand them the goods to make something of themselves? Let the people do the walking for you and as that drives down the cost of advertising there is a larger need. So whilst I gave the world a solution based in Monaco, the idea would be easily transferable to Los Angeles, New York or London as such I felt that my idea had real potential and for some reason it came back to me and ‘haunted’ me in my sleep. I am merely puzzled with the building I saw, it actually ‘haunted’ me and I have no idea why. So whilst my mind set a larger stage around it, I merely wonder why I had those thoughts. 

Well, that’s it for me for now, Ill be back in around 15-20 hours for more. Have a great day

Haters will be haters

That is the setting I saw. You see, I have been looking at some of the video’s on the theme parks and see what could be applied towards theme parks in Saudi Arabia and the UAE (not the same ideas) and when I saw the video on Universal Kids which is based in Frisco, Texas. So as I was expecting some hater view, but the delivery was pretty spot on, I would say that the people in Saudi Arabia and in the UAE (Miral) should see the video (or visit on person) to see how things should not be done. You see, I saw the setting of the park called Le Puy du Fou (France) and it would be a great idea for Sindalah giving the people (and tourists) a decent entertaining frontier for those in Sindalah. There was the setting of rides in the Dutch Efteling which could have embossed Warner Bros. World, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi (this was before the Harry Potter park was announced) but that should not have stopped the idea. You see, as the United States falls deeper and deeper into disfavor with the tourists in the world, these people want an alternative and as some people do not want the pressure and the massive heavy congestion, packed buses, and crowded pedestrian crossings that Tokyo brings (I still hope to see it with my own eyes at some point). But the settings are out there and I want to be careful not to promote haters (they’ll always remain haters) but the story behind Universal Kids is a warning that should not be ignored and whilst it is true that it is great for young children, the setting that rides like these should be added to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. You see I am the kind of person that does not agree that it should fit all, there are places that are specifically for Kids (the young ones). The Efteling (Netherlands) has the mushroom forest, which is not for the adults (parents excepted). But this setting could easily be added to the Park Dubai Miracle Garden, and optionally the Boulevard City (Riyadh) if they could set this to famous Arabic cartoons. So whilst there are plenty of options, the stage for both requires additions (optionally upgrades) and the biggest seen setting here it Ferrari World, as I see it, it was created in 2010, as such upgrades/additions are pretty essential, especially as the official tickets go for $131.25, but there are cheaper versions like the Abu Dhabi pass which costs a mere $22, so plenty of money savers to be found, but I think that additions are required. And that gave me an idea to something I noticed, a setting that has a random factor in it all, I give you the following two pics. It is the mere setting of the ride (not the ride itself) you need to get a graphic designer for that.

and

So we see the first image and these circles are the ride connector discs, and whilst the ride has a random factor, the setting is that you go from disc to disc towards the end. There is a logical ‘randomisation’ on how the ride progresses and that ride gives a little extra, then the lower image is the second setting, and the three parts after that is the demarcation place at the end of the ride, after which the rides go back to the start. 

A few years ago I gave (based on the setting of the Efteling Dream flight) a magic carpet ride, but there are a few safety issues. I was going from a seat on the carpet with a safety belt on it. I came to the conclusion that a bag of gemstones and gold could be added as a chair and get the safety belt on that. But the appeal was the flight over the park and an added setting for the ride, as such it could still be added and whilst it might sound corny, the setting might work. So there was that. And it matters now, as there is too much negativity of the current parks of the United States. And whilst too many are seeking another option, one that keeps the United States out of it all, that setting is very likely to be in play in 2027-2031, because this president has made the United States a no place to visit for several years after he is put up to pasture (which is in 2029) and it will take years for tourism to pick up after that. As such, we need more and whilst the EU has its places (and very good ones), there is place for Saudi Arabia and the UAE to shine stronger as a tourist location and when you consider that they could find appeal to the 1.9 billion muslims there is growing interest from non-muslims. As such both places Abu Dhabi/Riyadh might increase the setting of a growing touristy population. 

As such the race is on, because some are seeing that the United States is becoming a no-go place (especially for Canadians) but other countries are feeling the same way. Have a great day all.

The pointless choice

That is what I see and that is what I believe is not the issue at hand. So as Pushsquare is giving us  ‘Furious PS5 Players Unplug Their Consoles in Protest as Blackout Gets Underway’ and I have seen this setting before. Now ask yourself “Sony already got their revenue by selling you your Playstation n, so why keep it switched off?” I agree that something must be done, but why do this? Hurting their revenue down the line makes more sense as I see it. So what is to be done? I might think that stopping sales of the PS6 makes more sense, that is until they reinstate physical media. So when we get “The blackout – technically scheduled to start at 7pm local time, but already being observed by many participants – is designed to reduce the Japanese giant’s active users, a key performance metric for the company. Campaigners suggest participants should keep their consoles unplugged from today through 30th August as a minimum. That means no logins, no gaming, and certainly no spending through the PS Store.” As such no spending makes sense, but no logins and no gaming make no sense. I could get along with these two when there is an alternative (like my Nintendo Switch) so there is a partial setting of pressuring Sony and I am on board because the pressures that they are giving to millions of rural gamers. They often lack the funds to play larger releases and they are driven to 2nd hand sales as are metro gamers where the pressures of life are surrounding them and I never forgot the PS4 presentation where Kaz Hirai gave a presentation on how a Sony game disc was given to the person next to him. It was the Sony way to debunk Microsoft (always online) setting that we saw and it was a hidden pun towards the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and I thought it was brilliant and now they attack the rural gamers who have as little as they have by taking physical media away? I was not a fan, they could have opted by raising prices on physical media by $10 (against dropping prices for online media) but that comes with additional pressures too, but it would have made a difference to the rural players. And the metro players that also have a lack of funds would still have an option, but no, removing physical media was their way of dealing with this? I as not impressed and no fan of the acts of Sony, and to leave my PS5 off? No Netflix, No YouTube, seems a little harsh to me and I could postpone my PS6 when it comes to pass and that is an option that I might do, but I feel safe to give the conjecture that Sony will see the error on their way soon enough, because as I see it, Nintendo will rake in the winnings on this setting. I feel that this would add to the pain of Sony. When 5%-25% abandons the setting of the PS6 in favour of the Nintendo Switch 2 would make plenty of sense and that is definitely an option I might go for. There is nothing like the revenue loss that this brings (ask Microsoft) as others might go from a decent 2nd place being degraded to a 5th place, the wooden spoon place. They could revert to giving no results (as they claim they are meaning less) but in the boardrooms the orchestrators of that setting will get decently fried in the snake oil they sold as a solution, but that might merely my  view on the matter. 

So whilst many are blaming the AI settings of their prices skyrocketing (which I am no real fan of either), but to some extent I understand that parts of a console (like memory) would become more expensive. And it will hit all over the place and until these artificial boom settings that AI brings there is no real solution, because I agree that you can never bet against a boom, I merely watch from the sidelines so I can say “Told you so”, which is a simpler and just as satisfying setting, because these wannabes giving everyone ‘their’ version of an excuse is their way of making some ‘it was more complex than  figured, but I got it partially correct’ excuse and by placing my issues in my blog I can always revert to “I gave you the setting months ago” which is still partially nice (for me) but concerning Sony, we are left with pointless choices and I feel that hurting them be denying them the PS6 revenue and handing my money to Nintendo for a Switch 2 is a much better choice. And the setting that Saudi Arabia could go towards a Console seating is not going away and that is merely the optional alternative choice. In all this there is a realistic setting that Sony loses a partial loss of the revenue pie and that hurts them more than anything else and some might evert to the Steam Deck, which is still a loss for Sony and optionally a less pointless choice, but that is merely my view on the matter.

And as I am watching a Yas Mall walkthrough on YouTube (on my PS5), there are a few things that matter. You see, this could also be done on a Nintendo Switch 2, the only thing the Switch 2 is lacking is a decent Netflix port and they might want to make a case of that and soon, optionally Disney plus as well. As I see it, this could enable a lot more people considering the Switch 2 as a worthy replacement for their Sony time and optionally stop the future development of Sony. And when they revert back to physical media we could always get this system the next financial wave time. In this everyone (mostly Nintendo) wins in the meantime and that is merely my point of view. But the setting of pointless actions is deflating my ego even more than doing nothing and leaving my PS5 collecting dust is seemingly empty, Sony got their revenue from me. Still not buying anything form their store makes sense, it hurts their revenue and that is not a bad thing. So as it is 03:15 it is time to sign off and looking at the Yas Mall walkthrough just now passing the Texas Roadhouse, my stomach is growling like an angry bobcat, time to see what the fridge has to quiet that rascal down. Have a great day you all.

It hasn’t dropped yet

That is an apparent setting and there is ‘no blame’ to anyone. But the simple setting is that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hasn’t dropped the ball yet. They have set a few things in motion, but where it goes is anyones guess. I have had my settings on something massively similar since mid 2022. I wrote about it in my blog ‘Girdle your loins’ which I wrote on November 30th 2022 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2022/11/30/girdle-your-loins/). I left the ‘issue’ with Andy Jesse (an Amazonian bigwig) because Amazon had the wave of the future and now as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has acquired Electronic Arts, a new play comes into being. The only part missing is a streaming system and they might want to acquire Google’s Stadia and create games for the PS5 and optionally the Nintendo Switch (2) as well. If they include stream deck they are likely to maker millions of dollars and become a lot more competitive in the gaming sector. With the speculative understanding that Microsoft is then devaluated to fifth position and they become the new winner of the wooden spoon.

So what gives?
Well to see that, we need to go via the settings that I am seeing. The old setting was that the games from the 90s are remastered to todays gaming needs. There is an upside. If they acquired the IP of Electronic Arts, they might also have the jackpot, because EA released a massive amount of games in the late 80s and 90s. All these games are up for rerelease at present. This requires them to set up gaming studios in Saudi Arabia, but with this setting there is an ability to stream these beginners into high priced executives and it is all done in Saudi Arabia. There are the plain remasters, but when you think of a title like Defender of the Crown, a game that beckons Islamification and whilst the game premise changes somewhat, we now get similar location settings for Acre, Jerusalem, Antioch, Constantinople, Edessa, Damascus and Jaffa. There could be tactical upgrades as well and the setting that Saudis see as the battlements are increased in graphics and enhanced (like the movie Kingdom of Heaven, 2005) and that is merely one title. So whilst we see renewed versions of Command and Conquer, Syndicate, Dungeon master and a few others, these games in their near original state could beckon thousands of gamers (I believe it is millions, but being overeager is not a good thing here) and should Saudi Arabia take over the Google Stadia there is the setting that a streaming device is clearly in the hands of Saudi Arabia, optionally depriving American advertisers of coin, leaving it in the hands of Saudi Arabia. And there are plenty of gaming sides that could be renewed. It would allow a mash of Saudi music composers out the world, with enhanced graphics all over the place. Saudi Arabia now has the setting that could set them and my idea for that next generation console would bank them up to $6 billion annually and a lot more after phase two is completed. You see, what Amazon overlooked was the fact that there are 1.9 billion Muslims and a lot of them like gaming and they are spread over the Arabian peninsula, Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia. There are also scores of hem all over the EU and America. These are all pockets of addressable gamers and that is what I saw as early as late 2021 and in 2022 I made my move where they could see these fractions become a force of  advertisable people (according to the Muslim rules of advertisement) 

So no mater what Saudi Arabia does, these games are a first step to get the waves of gamer coming into their fold. So whilst the gaming community had little impact on lets say Indonesia, it is a place with over a quarter of a billion people and I saw that a system could propel them into the light. Consider a setting where these businesses advertise in a simple book that is in every console and like the Yellow pages they could register for free and for a mere $1 per month they could get a little more space and a bold naming of their place. For $2 a month they could add a picture. Now consider this over the setting of Egypt (170M), Pakistan (260M), Indonesia (288M) and several other places at that point close to a billion people could register in the yellow pages of this console. Muslims advertising and creating awareness to other muslims. And it starts free and when the revenue comes in, they might enhance their presence and all this comes to the coffers of Saudi Arabia. I saw this 5 years ago and as Google dropped their Stadia I handed it to Amazon (they never reacted), so now Saudi Arabia gets the setting where a gaming company starts a mot more and whilst I feel certain the the revenue will be $15 billion plus after stage one and my estimates are conservative. I absconded from adding advertisement revenue, because that requires hard data and I don’t have any, I can merely speculate on this, but the console would bring in its revenue, but it all starts with games and now that Saudi Arabia acquired Electronic Arts, that setting is up for grabs and they could start creating games for the Sony PS5 and Nintendo Switch and these numbers are legion. After that the SteamDeck which will make them hungry to buy the Google Stadia and that is where the game changes a lot. Which added media, they could now get ready to overwhelm the Muslim world with an optional Saudi console. Perhaps  renaming it to the Kingdom Console might be an option? It is what is out there and it has been out there for over 5 years. So as these captains of industry dropped the ball there, there is no setting the might please Saudi Arabia more and as I see it, they need one other IP to be handed to them (which might be in the power of Google to do) but then the pegs are sucked and sorted and a larger option becomes available. 

What a nice continuation of this Sunday. Have a great day.

Passing the buck

That is what I saw yesterday, people (I reckon wannabe influencers) are now starting to head towards the setting that AI is the root of all that is evil (apart from that AI being fake, it is not responsible for anything), but as we see the ‘amount’ of so called evidence pile up, you would get this idea. I even saw a reference to one of my own articles (with the wrong data and a reference to another story) added to that pile. So whilst these wannabe’s are not entirely wrong, they are merely adding the wrong quotes to the wrong pile. (They must have used some kind of fake AI). But in the article ‘And Grok ploughed on’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/11/27/and-grok-ploughed-on/) I made mention on November 27th 2025 “Check out the blog, none of those elements were mentioned there. As some tell us Grok is a generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) chatbot developed by xAI. So where is that AI program now? This is why I made mention in previous blogs that 2026 will be the year that the class actions will start.” And now we see (in various sources “AI-related class action filings are surging in 2026, driven by a sharp rise in investor securities lawsuits over market corrections, ongoing copyright and training data disputes against major tech platforms, and emerging product liability risks” (source: Norton Rose Fulbright) as well as “According to mid-year data from Cornerstone Research and Stanford Law School, federal securities class actions jumped significantly, with 15 AI-related filings recorded in the first half of 2026 alone—nearly matching the 16 total cases filed through the entirety of 2025” (source: CFO Dive). So as I see it, some are passing the buck and whilst there is a shift noticeable in several directions with the premise “Governments are reacting to ongoing friction; for instance, Australia announced intent to establish an Office of AI and legislate stronger artist/creator control over works used in AI training, while courts in the US navigate strict parameters around fair use and dataset destruction” As I see it, the United States wishes their American corporations to get the freedom of fair use (at the expense of anyone else) and others want to keep the IP of the artists and artisans intact. As I am in group two I feel happy that group one might end up with a peppered bill for yours truly (that would be me), but I am not holding my breath on that happening any day soon. And the gremlin in me would love the idea that I gave all my IP to China and see how the USA fights off that setting. I reckon that the Gremlin in me likes that (it will not like to optional fictive loss of revenue, but that is another fight all together).

What is fun is to see these wannabes blame a fictive AI, whilst the users of that fake AI have the larger blame here. But that it also the hidden trap. You see, someone said: “the starting of digital conditions is the beginning of the end. Soon these conditions change and after that the denial that this was ever the case starts” and I tend to agree with this person. We already saw several issues in gaming and a lot more in the business sector and Business Intelligence. The old premise from Emperor Augustus comes calling at that stage “If it isn’t written down, it does not exist” He said so around 25BC, which means that this setting was clear almost 2050 years ago. It seems a hard sell to hear some say “We didn’t think of that” or “It was a corporate policy” and whilst the useless waste more and more of our time, these settings will delve into the framework of too many systems. Which was exactly why I put all my IP online, there are too many settings where things are found out and whilst we accept that, it also means the my chance of financial greatness becomes a little trivial (to say the least). But I still believe that putting in front of everyone is the only way to guarantee your point of view. It is those wannabe’s that state “Just hand it to me, trust me. I’ll do right by you” betting it all on the roulette table is likely the only option for you (even thought the payout is lousy). But in all this I don’t gamble. I even have a setting where otter’s might win some, but the wannabes are likely to never end with one of my dimes. 

So whilst we now see that “The Disclosure Dollar Loss Index surged as companies over-promised on AI deployment, infrastructure, and data center capacities, causing sharp stock drops when growth hit roadblocks” (source: Cooley)  but here are different roadblocks too. You see, what some claim and what is proven are different settings. We might agree that all AI is bad, but that generalization is also dangerous. Because they could have added a book to their learning curve and whilst the ‘original designer’ forgot that the book in question made the coin tremble, the learning ability might have gotten through this setting in different ways and whilst the Training curve of the fake AI is not explored, because it becomes likely too hard or too convoluted, the mess is created by “All fake AI is evil” and that too is a wrongful generalization that has a deepening effect. So whilst we see ‘over-promised’ the setting is a little sweeter than that. So whilst generalization and wrongful verification comes to blows (which will happened) the investor is left out in the cold and when this happens more than once, the wells dry up fast (which is where I was in 2025, I basically saw this happen in my mind) and in all this verification and validation remains the big two that none of the (fake) AI firms have a handle on. And at present I haven’t seen anyone who is tackling these elements and whilst I still believe that the Epsilon (AI) co processor will optionally solve a lot of issues, there is no way to tell at present. So whilst some call this the Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the settings that current NPU’s and the future Epsilon processor have is a setting that allows trinary data to solve whatever binary cannot do and there is no real time track for that event to happen. Especially when it was decided (years ago) that binary was cheaper and the people behind that brainwave are (speculatively) merely accountants that went the technological setting. They know all about the costs of the setting, but reaping the rewards is also at a low, because they can’t see the benefit that the more expensive solution had and that is where these settings are, but that is merely my speculative view on the drawn stage.

So whilst I see options and benefits, it will likely fall on deaf ears and they are all gong the binary track, which at present is woven and interceded by over a dozen class cases in the first half of this year and at least as much for the second half as well. But we will see how that dollar moves from stage to stage, but regardless of that, even if you consider that the cases at present have settled for over $1.65 billion, how much comes from the investment amounts. How many are purged to be a near total loss? We might think that people like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and a few others can stand to lose this. But their retirement funds aren’t on the line and those who do will chance to all on some poker bet and risk losing a lot more and these settings should have been sure wins and they were not, this is the trap that no-one wishes to acknowledge  that it is in play. 

But that is just me, I am not the gambling type and I see too many passing the buck at present and whilst there is a agreeable setting of blaming these fake AI’s the clearer setting is that passing the buck was in the most inconvenient setting. Because if AI is so foolproof, how come that the houses are actively promoting the ’00’ option at these roulette tables? If it was a sure thing, we could all benefit, but the is not the case, is it?

Have a great day this day.

What is the premise

That is the setting I am grasping at. It is not some conspiracy theory and it in not linked to anything ‘realistic’. You see, I am grasping at the setting of games. The amalgamation of combining games into making an entirely new game. The innovation that the old systems (CBM64, Atari ST and CBM Amiga) had were great and in the light of limitations in that setting we see that some games went to the stretch of their limitations in those days, but now we can combine these games without getting anywhere near the limitations they had then and that is where we can capture the imagination of the gamers today. Not copy, not steal, not obscure, but the setting that is new and innovative in gaming. And I have tried this a few times to set the path to new and updated gaming. New lore, upgraded graphics and upgraded sounds. A new path in the setting of what we knew into what we could possibly expect. So, where is this going?

As such I was considering combining Millennium 2.2 and elements of Privateer and Sundog that would become the first game (keeping the details away from you at present). Then we get Midwinter, the early game of games and combine that with Commando, but not in level setting, but in a complete island setting. Just two games set to a multitude of games and like the setting of Commando/Desperados it would is likely the next setting of gaming. You see, we can all wreck our brains for the next ‘great’ idea, but wouldn’t it be easier to use what is already out there several generations ago and make it into a larger setting with more gaming and this is the new wave of gaming as I expect it to become. In the age where everyone is wrecking their brain on what could become the next thing, we could also take a shortcut and create the setting of a totally new IP and totally awesome game. I sound to have doubts at present. Because I am certain of myself, but not on the stage of others. They decide what is great and while I do believe in Stealth and RPG games, these games are different, I would like them, but it is not my favourite forte (which at times is the stage we are in to make the best that is possible), but the setting is out there and when I wrote this, others might get the same idea and they will use their favourite games to create new IP and they are welcome to the idea and they could create great games, because the old games that made the mark were great in their own ways and combined they could be phenomenal and guarantee 1-2 years of great gaming. I myself have a third idea, but it is still in development in my brain and the first part is a game I loved on the CBM Amiga (pretty sure it existed on the Atari ST as well). As such the game is Archipelago. It was fun to play, but limiting because the CBM Amiga only had 256KB (a lot in those days), but when you combine that game with elements of a viral game setting, it becomes a totally new challenge, one that could find a lot of engaging gaming fans. But consider that players like Microsoft took forever to create mediocre games. I came up with a simple idea and that could be the moment that great games are created. I got there by myself, I never had to buy myself a place on that table. It was a simple setting of true innovators against these corporate wannabe’s. A setting that I saw from a mile away and they bought their settings, but I will admit that they create the Flight Simulator and what I bought in 1985 for the CBM64, was turned in something phenomenal by 2020. Fair is fair and honour where honour is due, Microsoft created a massive game there, and when they bought Minecraft they created something after that, it was upgraded in innovative ways. But as I see it, these are merely two games and Microsoft spend close to 100 million on their purchases, I spend a total of $0 and created three optional great games. And developing the next iteration of games and create an innovative new game is an alternative to creating from the mind from the start, an easier way and in no way less innovative. As such I am making the innovative claim against that gaming wannabe Microsoft. And whilst they buy for too much, I get to do it for free, which is the true test if innovation.

But that might be merely my premise. So whilst I have plenty of examples (and not merely in gaming) I feel that my ideas and insights will pass the test of time. I feel that to be a truth, but it is speculative at best. So, where do you (as a gamer) stand? Are there 1-3 game you have an uncanny love for? What happens when you combine these games? Could you make a new game? Because that is where the next iteration of gaming is bound to be and it leads (as I personally see it) to innovation. But that is just me.

Have a great day.
