As one door closes

That was the setting I saw this morning as I took notice of ‘MGX could purchase APAC data center operator DayOne’ (at https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/mgx-could-purchase-apac-data-center-operator-dayone-report/) with the juicy (for some) subtitle “Comes ahead of DayOne’s $20 billion IPO” it opened another avenue for the UAE, you see as the United States has pissed of pretty much every country with their cloud act, the setting that I see is that if MGX embraces the GDPR and adheres to this in several means, Microsoft, Google and IBM will lose the traction they have all over the EU and the commonwealth. So whilst we take notice of “Reuters’ sources said that the MGX acquisition is not finalized and a DayOne IPO could still go ahead. DayOne currently runs a portfolio of more than 500MW of data center capacity in service and under construction, with another 500MW held for future development across Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Japan. The company also has sites in Thailand and Finland.” 

And in case if ChapsVision, it is nice it is getting the Palantir account in France (and optionally in other EU countries as well) but that comes with the addd need for stronger data centers and not in American hands. The Edge (at https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/807778) gives us ‘Abu Dhabi’s MGX weighs multi-billion deal for data centre operator DayOne — Reuters’, which gives us (at https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/807778) that “Abu Dhabi-backed artificial intelligence investor MGX has been exploring buying Singapore-based data centre operator DayOne, three sources said, in what would mark a major step in its global expansion into the technology. MGX has been working with an investment bank in preparation for the potential transaction, said two of the sources, who declined to be identified because the discussions are confidential.” Which implies to me that this is not yet a done deal, as such it is likely to happen, especially as countries are making moves to pull away from the United States and their Cloud Act, but that might not be enough, the secondary stage is that Microsoft as a data Endor is seemingly already on the way out in a few places, so that would be setting the stage that this could indeed happen. So whilst we see “A deal for DayOne could mark MGX’s first acquisition in Asia as the company pursues a lightning-fast international expansion. It was set up a little over two years ago with the US$385 billion sovereign wealth fund Mubadala and AI company G42 as its founding partners. MGX falls under the purview of Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the United Arab Emirates’ national security adviser and brother of the president.” The setting might be that Europe is ‘hesitant’ to replace the yoke of the United States with a Chinese replacement, but if there is a common ground between the UAE and Europe and a (for a lack of a better term) a Chinese wall is inserted in the European centers, a larger benefit to Emirati revenue could be right here. It all depends on how the UAE plays this ad what guarantees they could give the EU and the Commonwealth. As such there could be a new player in the town of Europe and under the much stricter rules of the GDPR, solution could be drawn. On a personal note, I reckon that China does not fear being left out of data as long as the United States loses a mouthful of revenue. Adobe, Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft could all lose a chunk of their revenue and that puts the United States on the defense to keep whatever they can hold onto, as I see it, at present it sucks to be the President of the United States. And after the folly that is called “the Iranian peace treaty” and President Trump implying that they could ask for Tolls in the strait of Hormuz, angering many nations, especially ones trying to get oil across the strait, (source: Al Jazeera) as such the world is looking for other solutions and several firms might regret ever giving the keys to the united States to President Trump. But as I see it, the UAE is on the job and when one door closes, another tends to open and this might be the moment for the EU and Commonwealth to talk to the UAE in finding a solution that they can live with, the question is, will the UAE play game with Europe and the Commonwealth? My guess is yes, especially is China at the stage realizes a massive drain on the revenue of the United States, it could be the death stroke against the coffers of America and from there is goes downhill fast in the former land of opportunity.

I reckon that the next stage becomes opening another site in France, giving more power to ChapsVision, not sure if it is needed, but all the traction helps. And a second data centre in Europe would give several benefits, especially if these two centers are connected and support each other in case of data congestion, because that is bound to happen, but if two centers are connected, there is a larger solution for that. There is still the power use issue, but that is for tomorrow, it all depends on how stretched the power settings in France are and secondary, if Google, IBM and Microsoft are on the way out, there will be room for more. I actually hope that Google and IBM find another solution, but as American firms the Cloud Act is hanging over their heads, so that is the way in for MGX and the United Arab Emirates. 

Have a great day.

Again I feel great

That is at times the setting and it does me no pride to feel good about Microsoft taking another hit in gaming, because the Sony Playstation is still great, but that is in part because the Xbox was close on its heels. Now the only threat it has is the Switch 2 (by Nintendo) and that is pretty much it, so as I had over gaming IP to indie developers (under the condition that it is not created for Microsoft, only Sony and optionally Nintendo too, there are a few others, but no Microsoft. They did this to themselves. So whilst I see now that several are scrapped like ‘Odyssey,’ Blizzard’s survival game was scrapped in 2024 (didn’t they buy that house for $69 billion?), then we get Everwild, Perfect Dark, Contraband and Project Blackbird. So, what use does the Xbox still have? In that context Microsoft is preparing a wave of Xbox layoffs expected to affect roughly 1,000 people and potentially shutter active development studios. So bad news all around and to make matters worse, we get the quote “But as Microsoft doubles down on console exclusives and tries to hurry along heavy-hitters like The Elder Scrolls 6, I’ve got to wonder if it was wise to toss so much in-progress work, some of which was highly praised internally.” (Source: PCGamer), they also gave us two weeks ago ‘Microsoft is looking to speed up development of future Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Halo games’, yet in the side that Xbox is returning to exclusivity, it makes my day in other ways, because  had already (in part) developed the stage for a contender for playing these games, and if that is the case, in that case, the numbers for Bethesda will slump in a major way, according to some “Microsoft has sold an estimated 35 million Xbox Series X and Series S consoles combined worldwide. Because the company stopped reporting exact hardware unit sales in 2015, this total is an industry estimate, and a specific breakdown just for the more powerful Series X is unavailable” and that reflects on the 92 million PS5 units now open to other contenders as well as the more than 115 million PS4 systems. So Bethesda will unlikely ever sell anywhere near the 60 million copies it sold for Skyrim, or the 25 million it sold for Fallout 4 and I created the starting lore of a new IP to replace the gap that Bethesda is leaving in the Sony fandom as well as (I know not how many) Nintendo people will cry over losing the Bethesda games and there will be some desperate enough to get an Xbox for this, but will these numbers really add up to much?

So, will Microsoft chase exclusivity? I get that brands have exclusivity where it counts and now it matters because Bethesda was never exclusive, so what will happen? The fact that there is a lack of information grants the indie developers a chance to break into the Sony and Nintendo vaults with their optional software and as Microsoft is cancelling all over the field, we will get a gap and others will fill it. So whilst we look at ‘Ori director says Game Pass ‘could’ve worked’ if Xbox didn’t ‘slop out mediocre content like a factory’’ (source: Video Games Chronicle (VGC)) Microsoft has a definite lack of stellar games and I don’t know how that is faring as I got rid of my Xbox over a year ago (night have been 2 years ago), so I kinda don’t care, but I did care and still do about Bethesda software and if they won’t arrive on the Sony, I’ll have to forsake the two titles too. But then, I created other solutions and I drew from some of the great games going all the way back to the CBM64 and I seemingly improved on them and as such I feel fine leaving Microsoft out of that setting. So whilst we get Games Luster give us this headline only an hour ago ‘Xbox’s First-Party Studios Face Cuts as Microsoft Eyes Structural Reset’, I already knew that from other sources, but the hindsight is ignored, You see, people see all these stories on their screen and they are now thinking that they have to switch to a Sony (or Nintendo), works out nicely for me, but it is tactically stupid. Microsoft has (according to some) a few trillion (almost three according to some), as such this move makes no sense. Part of it does, but then shut down studios? This gives mixed feelings and structurally unsound stability to the Xbox brand. So as we see “Microsoft is preparing a wave of Xbox layoffs expected to affect roughly 1,000 people and potentially shutter active development studios, as reported by Bloomberg, with the cuts timed to land shortly after Microsoft‘s fiscal year closes on June 30, 2026 – making this not a routine headcount trim but a structural reset of a division that new leadership has already described as “not in a healthy state.”” Add to this the quote “Bloomberg reports that new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has launched a broader turnaround effort that includes slashing marketing budgets, conducting a full review of the game portfolio, and rebuilding the business from the ground up over a stated 100-day window.” If I were Sony (don’t worry I am not) I would be looking into these houses and see if (optionally together with Nintendo) there is anything good there, or at least good enough to fund it to a Sony/Nintendo fruition. That is an option and as such Microsoft has given its brand a lot more competition. And all this happens before the $69 billion for Blizzard has earned its rewarding setting, I reckon that this is still a decade or two away. So in all this, we are given that the stage for Microsoft Gaming is currently (and seemingly) one step away from a deep abyss, the kind that Wile E. Coyote faced many times, I don’t think Microsoft Gaming will survive that step (meep, meep).

The only reason for me to care is that a strong Microsoft Gaming requires Sony to keep on there toes and that is now likely to stop happening. They will still produce great hardware and software, but I fear for the long term innovative thinking of Sony. 

But I am still on the job thinking of new games, so (a delusional me is thinking) there is still hope. But I am not happy about it all, such is life. Time to create a sawmill (snoring).

Have a great day.

Setting any stage 

I have been thinking of where to put my cerebral hardware. I am not one of those FIFA world cup fans and I get that some are, so whilst the world is looking at where their balls are, I am bound towards the IP I create over the last few days. You see, the other option is to look towards Presidents Trump’s stupidity and I have seen quit enough of that. So whilst he is pissing of what little allies he has, the story about Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is going in completely wrong with the Italian people. So another ally lost to the rough sea of accountability. I understand the setting If I was ‘to beg’ Saudi Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud for a selfie, but even then, the chances are that he might allow for this selfie because it might be another fan. So consider that the Italian PM does not even have that for President Trump, he wasted a massive amount of publicity on what would be his setting whilst it was rejected by the global community right off the bat. So whilst I am watching these Riddikulus (pronounced ri-di-KULL-lis) events, I am casting my boggart banishing charm (just in case these creatures can inhabit the internet). Because at present the truth is a lot weirder than fiction can be and that just now opened up a lore setting for the new gam  had not considered before. 

So as I prefer the design of new IP over the idiotic stage of political non-reality reality. I am drawing a new setting of the nano tech. There is still several stages to work out, but the setting is that I ‘find’ a nano tech station, merely one and from here we see that the balancing act becomes amount versus strength, the introduction gives us that part, a ‘tutoring’ setting of the base station.

The nanotech requires energy, so breeding into a lot is not a good idea, because it decreases over time to back to the beginning of one. So you need a balancing act. The station needs enlarging and it requires additions to power cores, drone management and memory. You get the first two in stage one, the basic station, but over time you will find options to enlarge this. The power cores gives you additional power to create more drones, the memory will enhance their memory management and capturing data and share that data towards all the drones you have and the drone management will hand you more powerful drones. So whilst I still like the Paradroid setting, the first stage gets you the ability to to capture Janitorial, Servant and messenger drones. But beyond that you need more powerful drones. 

The setting enables that when you get the number of drones. By enlarging the chipset, the memory is enlarged, the and by getting the power cores enlarged you will manage more drones. And there needs to be a balancing act, you can go ‘the other way’ but you will find that many low level drones do not give you the added umpf you require, but I want the game to enable you because a gamed which allows you to fail will also allow you to enjoy the benefits of evolving your own game. 

So whilst I was seeking out the drone settings, I came across a stage where a few of the achievements came up. The first was the Inspiration achievement, shots of found games (like Paradroid, Hacker and a few others that shows where the ideas originated. I think that it is good that we recognise where our thoughts came from, optionally also the views on a CBM64 and an Atari 800 to recognise where our games all originated. Then I got (because of the lore stage) the idea to the achievement ‘Anorak the All-Knowing’ which gives you the lore settings and you need to find 25 backstories (there will be a lot more) but finding them all might not be possible. 

So whilst I was wondering on how this happened. The republican party helped out with that setting, as Measles is going rampant in the United States (with the CDC has reported over 2,100 confirmed cases and 30 active outbreaks across more than 40 jurisdictions), so what happens when this goes really bad? And whilst you are in a ‘safe’ space, resources are dwindling down and you find the first nanotechnology station. So whilst we advance to more drones and the core 4 (which will allow for autonomous data capturing) when it crossed with memory 3, which allows all data to be auto collected, because the game other whiles becomes too dreary. The drones will upgrade to views where all doors and ports that are open come green-lit. This enabled another path, places with drone ports can only allow Janitorial, Servant and messenger drones. The next ‘phase’ requires Maintenance, Crew and Sentinel drones to use the front door, so will all other drinks, but they are the next stage is for Battle, Security and Command drones but they are deeper into the setting of government and official places. So whilst we have something going, there is the larger need for a game to be repayable and when you get the override of a Command done, you find the option to get to another city or base and it opens up several other options. So from a simple building (like the northeast Bronx, Co-op City, Bronx is the largest housing cooperative in the world Co-op City, the world’s largest housing cooperative in the Bronx. And this is a great start, because it is not some flashy setting, it allows for a whole’s lot of original lore and the I what we are after, so when we get to this setting, for those who love the game, the Command drone could open up a stage that opens up the New Century Global Center (Chengdu), where we get a a staggering 1.76 million square meters. That’s just for starters, the idea to get a government building like the Pentagon mapped out is nice, but too flashy. To get some level of a conspiracy theory in place, we need to look at other places, like (for example) the Karl-Marx-Hof in Vienna, Austria. Stretching over 1,100 meters long, this historical social housing project was built in the late 1920s and originally housed more than 5,000 residents. There is always the chance that it houses a few survivors and gives us the larger setting for more exploration and optionally a larger stage to get a surviver setting in place. The last few things are top of mind thinking, but lets face it, we have seen enough conspiracy yanks to last us a lifetime, so we look in the direction of Europe as one example, optionally the idea of mapping out the Line (NEOM) is a nice setting and it might not have ben completed at present, or in the story, but a location that big, allows for a lot of directions to get us in. And my mind is still forever voyaging into gaming solutions (a nice pun even if I say so myself) and I am not done yet, but with the other two parts (see over the last week) the game comes across nicely and considering that Microsoft hasn’t produced a original IP game for quite some time, my work is standing out nicely. So you all have a great day and who knows we get another Trump story like to one NPR gave us 15 hours ago ‘Italy’s Meloni, once Trump’s closest ally in Europe, says he made up a story about her’, I cannot vouch either way, because I was not there, but the crumbles are all on the floor, time for me to call for a 123 disposal droid and get rid of the crumbles. It’s only nice that someone cleans the stage we all fin ourselves in and call for the 629 sentinel droid to get rid of irregularities. N’est-ce pas?

Have a great day all, I feel happy and creative this day, almost time for a nice plate of pasta, Giorgia Meloni put me up to that. (In truth pasta was planned, so I might just blame her for this too)

There was more

You see, yesterday I came up with a new lore system and it kept my from the real setting of the game, because there was a lot more. The first part was that there was a reason why I felt affinity to Paradroid and Hacker. The idea was that there were two mainlines (I had not chosen yet) the first was that this was a recon setting for aliens, the second was that survivors of this world were working from a separate setting (I fancied that one a little more) and the only way is to interact by invading technology and drones with a nano virus but it needs to be a lot more structured than just invade a server or a combination of systems, But the idea is that these nano bots can only invade systems in combined efforts (like a server and a drone in unison) from there we get to see a larger setting and from one system we can combine systems to invade a CCTV setting, but CCTV settings are often shielded, so you need a path towards that setting. So I has not worked it all out, but there was an evolving setting connected to all this. So whilst we get that any CCTV system has connected systems, we need to combine a larger connected systems to connect to larger and bigger connections, so there needs to be somehow an evolving setting like Hacker, where we connect to a drone and CCTV systems, but how to do that and keep an interesting game? That is the question I was bending over, but not in the way Paradroid did it (it had its own charm) and I didn’t want to plagiarize that. From that setting I merely had the idea that several autonomous systems could be infected, but that is the extend the game had ‘traction’ and I didn’t want it to be too much of a stalking approach, other than the need to find out what had happened to the people of that place (like a viral attack, or simply a air-conditioning defect) So whilst I was focussing on elements of the game, I was designing the game in real time, because that is how my mind works and the setting is that different devices had its own versions of Lore, so they are all stories, often not connected and it gives the overwhelming feeling of data. That is bound to happen in all these settings, so how to focus that? I gave the lore setting a go and from there the lore was bound to all kinds of things and I had to create a decent amount to overwhelm the senses (and the game) with lore that might seem bound to have a connection. So there I was in what some would seem a steady stream of data, but what is relevant? You cannot have a ‘data game’ with no responses and all relevant data, that is not how it tends to work, but I was trying to figure out how to get to the good stuff and an overload of data tends to be the setting in many cases. So whilst we ‘infect’ drones and systems, we need connect elements and find a way to connect to a system, the best option is to infect a drone and see where the connection tends to go, so we get two locations already and the evolving nano system has limits in the beginning, so it needs several of both for the nano system to evolve into a stronger system, it needs to develop, just like a real nano system does. But autonomous nano tech is not ‘up for grabs’ and as such I had to evolve the ideas in my brain on how to evolve these settings. 

So whilst I was considering all that, the lore system evolved in my brain and it had many connected benefits and it could benefit the future of larger gaming, because lore tends to be the larger setting for many RPG games and a game about hacking and data has an abundant of that, so while there is a need for the lore, the idea of lore writing itself making the game replay-able has benefits. So does the idea of creating a CCTV mesh of data for an entire city. But that is another mess to consider. What mattered is that I had to figure out how a nanotechnology system could evolve. There is the ‘breeding’ setting where systems provide the resources to breed (like connecting a resource to a router or a dead drone), from there we get more nanotechnology at our disposal but I was still working this out, so when we get more resources we get more nano tech to work with, yet here is also the limitation, although a dead drone could provide thousands of drones, they are stuck un a place, as such we need to connect one to the other and that is part of the puzzle I am working on and how to make this a decent part of any game is the puzzle 

I need to work on, an idea is nice, but how to work this out is the puzzle a designer needs to focus on, because not every idea makes a decent game and that path is riddles with the carcasses of optional great ideas and it still beats the news junk on how newspapers are trying to voice the setting that a ‘great idea for peace’ is not the setting that Trump got played by Iran and how Israel is set towards inaction against people that are trying to destroy Israel and they will not stop, so all that settings are a bit dreary and not worthy of my time, or at least that was how I felt about that yesterday, all whilst we are getting less than an hour ago ‘Trump’s Deal Sidesteps Key Reasons He Went to War With Iran’ (source: Wall Street journal), as such we will see more ‘news’ on the setting that the USA is too broke to be considered a player on the world stage. You see some claim “According to U.S. Treasury financial statements, total federal liabilities have grown to nearly $48 trillion against roughly $6 trillion in assets, leading some economists and commentators to label the government as technically insolvent.” (Source: Yahoo News) Or the fact that “The national debt exceeds $34 trillion, equating to a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 123%” (source: Forbes) and I have been saying this since ‘About America, chapter 11’ Which I published on August 26th 2014, almost twelve years ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2014/08/26/about-america-chapter-11/) as such you have all these economic professors who ‘object’ to that setting whilst the setting of the last year are showing me to be the correct party, even though I have no economic degree, I do know data., I have been dabbling in data for decades. As such the game came to my mind and as such the avoidance of the ridiculous war setting was invading my mind for weeks, because at present ‘Trump lashes out at “fools” who oppose Iran deal amid bipartisan criticism’ (source: CBS News) and ‘Senate Republicans raise alarm over Trump’s deal with Iran’ (source: the Hill) as I see it, soon there is no place for the media but to go and delve into the insolvency of the United States, perhaps this president could use the Epstein files to divert the eyes of the media? (evil grin forming on my face), not to mention the musical acting of ‘Republicans slam Trump for caving to Iran in ‘disaster’ of a deal’ (source: Rolling Stone Magazine) an if you consider that the bulk of the media never really liked President Trump, consider what they will publish now. And this is all before Iran sees its way to cry to the courts of international law in The Hague, so there is that still coming and all this could have been foreseen if someone served the power players coffee in the Pentagon, I think it is spelled ‘Covfefe’ (source: President Trump, first presidency) a setting that was clear from the beginning of March, but now that setting will hit the Republicans squarely in the face, as such it might become the most humorous midterms in November 2026 and I reckon that there aren’t too many Republican fans at present. So whilst those up for midterm elections are bound for the unemployment lines, we will see an abundance of mis-categorisations and as such this might be the turning point where the west is seeking a new player that could align with the Commonwealth and the EU and I personally am putting my money on a larger cooperative with Commonwealth, EU and the Arab states, the other option is that the Commonwealth and the EU will align with China. I think the second one is not readily accepted in the EU and parts of the Commonwealth. Still, the cooperative with the Commonwealth, EU and the Arab states could bring prosperity and optional good times for China and whilst the EU is pulling back from Microsoft and the United States hosting of over 4000 data centers. So when do you think well over 10% will be pushed into bad mortgage setting and written off to a rather large degree. All settings that will end an abundance of revenue and set the larger data settings off limits. I have no data to support this, but the crumbles of data are all over the place, the question becomes how connected are these slithers of data? I will let you decide, I have to put some effort in creating a new game, which is much more enjoyable than any political setting. 

So you all have a great day and someone keep an eye on Iran and their connections to Hezbollah and Hamas and when they will ‘miscommunicate’ their intent and it all starts all over again.

A 1,000,000 millions

That is the setting, it seems that mr. Elon Musk is this planets first trillionaire. Good for him. I kinda don’t care either way. I don’t wish him bad, I just don’t care. I have other worries and being a trillionaire will never be one of them. Even with all the IP I have, I never aspired to that. I think that neither did he, but that is just speculative thinking on my side. I say he earned it, no matter how you slice it.

So, we see this poster and several others, even LinkedIn is playing to that tune, but they are a lot sneakier in their ‘assessments’. There is no hatred from me not in the direction of Jeff Bezos either. I have claimed for over 25 years that there is a need for fair taxation. The global governments have made that redundant. They are all ‘applauding’ the ‘Tax the Rich’ movements, all whilst they know that this will never stick. In both cases (and Larry Ellison) they created IP that shifted the world and they collected on their IP, good for them. I try to rely on my IP (with dire hope), but I recognise true innovators when I see them and there have been others too. They changed the world whilst people like Microsoft kept on crying like little bitches. And where is Microsoft now? Google has 90.46%, Bing (Microsoft) has a mere 4.98%. That is the difference between innovators and followers. That oogly googly Sergey Brin (and coconspirators) created the new technology. They earned their place in History and they earned their gold (silver too). 

So when it comes to Elon Musk I was wondering where he was going when he bought Twitter, I wrote and a friend mine wrote as well, because he overpaid 50% for hat he got, we both had found thousands if not millions of fake accounts, but he never replied. He must have known what he was doing. I never talked to him, I reached out once and I had no reason to do so. It was up to him and clearly he knew what he was doing. I had no idea that he could still turn the wheels by overpaying 50% of it all. Still, I saw the wealth that Elon Musk had coming his way. Not what I see now, but over a billion is wealth to me, He now has a thousand times more than that. So, on June 28th 2022 I wrote ‘Will you feel frisky?’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2022/06/28/will-you-feel-frisky/) Where another side of his batteries were shown and I saw the issues coming our way, there was going to be an energy crises, it would be nearly global, but the people said I was crazy. And now we see “The most immediate U.S. energy bottleneck is not supply, but grid capacity and generation. Driven by the explosive power demands of AI and data centers, overall U.S. electricity consumption is projected to grow significantly. Balancing rising demand with an aging, bottlenecked electrical grid is the primary energy challenge facing the nation.” I saw this coming in 2022 (long before data centers and fake AI), we are now in 2026 and some sources state that the USA cannot deal with this and in a decade the shortage will hit. It’s possible, but some are ‘doom speakers’ I don’t go that direction. You see Elon has a solution, but as a business man he will sell to the best profit giving sources. And I reckon that he will target his stock towards the Middle East (Qatar/Saudi Arabia/UAE) But I saw this already in 2022, long before the Iranian setting. So I think it will hit sooner and the United States pissing off Canada didn’t help any. So they might not have a lot of time left. I also wrote IP that could help the Tesla Pi phone. You see, it was supposed to be an Android setting and my IP could go through them and then hit Google (android) and Huawei (HarmonyNext) It would set a much larger stage for advertising jewelry to a much larger degree and I like where it was heading. When it hit Monaco, it would hit Nice, Paris, London next, then New York and Los Angeles. From there it would hit a global community. It was a neat trick and some weren’t looking (looking at you now Google). The setting was part of a much larger IP that I designed in part in my story called ‘Bee, Bee, Bee, the Eye Pee’ (November 24th 2024) but on other places as well. (At https://lawlordtobe.com/2024/11/24/bee-bee-bee-the-eye-pee/), so the mobile was merely part of all it, but it was a way to make waves and as far as I know, the jewelry section never made waves. So I was doing good. 

So then came his space (we need more of it) adventure and now he is a trillionaire and I am fine with that. So these social morons coming with Tax the rich are insane. If they had kept their governments under control they would not be in this mess. Consider that Apple made $416 billion in 2025, paying only 15.6%, as such these idiots (there is no other way of putting it) need to consider what fair taxation is, it is not taking the billionaires. Microsoft reported a record annual revenue of $281.7 billion, whilst its Effective Tax Rate (ETR) was 17.6%. So where is there indignation there? No I am fine that the people like Brin, Ellison, Musk and Zuckerberg walk away wit their (M/B/Tr)illions. They innovated the world they created the internet moulds we now rely on. I’m fine with that. I just hope that my IP will bank decently, preferably before I kick that bucket. I think I am due a vacation in Abu Dhabi, Monte Carlo and Toronto but I have had the craziest ideas for the longest of times, so me walking the Rue Grimaldi eating a sorbet might become the next delusion, as such, so is eating a Poutine at five guys on Yonge St, or ice cream at Giovanni L. Gelato in the Yas Mall. I am full of crazy ideas when it comes to food. 

Still, I reckon that we haven’t seen the last of Elon Musk, because when the energy shortages hit, his batteries and subsequent technologies will keep the world afloat by keeping the lights on. That is a pretty certain course of events. And my writings are all over the place (I know because I checked what Gemini had) I think that the others are on the same page, so we think that this is the end, but if I know my innovators, this dude will be innovating until the day he dies and we will be left better and stronger because of that. It is just the way the world works anti never goes the way these socially overly proud morons take it, or the followers they follow. It takes the power of the 4 true innovators and perhaps more, because Apple used to be a true innovator (the time of Jobs) but now they are seemingly walking the presentation path of Microsoft. 

So think what you will, but realise that these anti Musk campaigns is not showing me that Elon Musk is evil. He is what he is and he created enough IP to make a difference, what you need to notice is that the image showed above is empty of identifiers, so who contacted JCDecaux to post that image, because they are unlikely to do anything for free. Didn’t you wonder why there is no identifier on that advertisement?

Have a great day all.

Outage, is that an outtake?

That is the setting that Microsoft introduces to its ‘flock’. First we see that Copilot has its second outage this month (which amounts to once a week) and now we are given that ‘Xbox Network outage leaves players unable to sign in and launch games – latest’ (source: GamesHub) we are given “Reports of an Xbox outage began circulating on Friday, 12 June, with users saying their consoles were connected to the internet but unable to properly access Microsoft’s online gaming services. Some players have reported temporary network error messages, while others have said games will not launch or connect online.” Is there anyone still in doubt that physical copies are the answer? In addition we are given “The outage is likely to be especially frustrating for Game Pass subscribers and digital Xbox users, as Microsoft’s ecosystem depends heavily on Xbox Network for account sign-in, game ownership checks, cloud saves, multiplayer, and access to online features. Even players not actively trying to play multiplayer games may run into problems if Xbox services are unavailable.” And my reasoning was simply that there are three paths before we get to a Microsoft server, namely the telecom company, the internet provider and the hardline to Microsoft. The first two tend to be one and the same, but that wasn’t always the case. And I reckon that in rural places this matters a great deal more. Now, I get that this affects Game Pass and that is rough, but the setting is likely to increase when the internet gets to be swamped by people trying to play a game and it is hindered by others having business settings. It is why I always supported Net Neutrality, which implies the principle that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) must treat all data on the internet equally, without discriminating, blocking, throttling, or giving preferential “fast lanes” to certain content or platforms. But the United States has seemingly different ideas, or at least that is where they are seemingly heading under the current administration. 

As such I have been a lifelong fan of physical media and some people say that this also comes with issues (like updates), but that is a risk I will happily take. That being said, the HALO patch in 2014 was the largest ever seen (45GB), as far as I see, the damage has been limited for the largest time. And according to CNet, Microsoft has its own moments of generated laughter “The massive Microsoft Windows outage in July 2024 sparked some of the best corporate and tech-support humor the internet has ever seen. Sparked by a bad software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike rather than Microsoft itself, it stranded travelers, grounded flights, and gave millions an unexpected “international blue screen day””

We can laugh all we want and these are optionally bad moments for Microsoft, but the reality is that Microsoft over the products and versions (and systems) have done decently. We can argue (whatever we want) but the downtimes of Microsoft seems to be (by my account) rather low, so they are doing OK in that setting. Yes, I am writing about it, but consider the moon of people using Microsoft and we have three outages this month alone and I am cautiously considering that the Xbox and Copilot outage are possibly related (so our numbers are double dipping). 

As such there is a ‘Microsoft’ issue, but it should optionally be disregarded like a typo on a keyboard. And when was the last time you had a typo on your keyboard? I have them with some irritating regularity, which amounts to at least once daily. In my case my mind works a lot faster than my fingers can correct for. Microsoft might have a similar setting, but that is not for me to say. And whilst some will ‘hide’ behind ‘Microsoft Copilot Goes Down for Thousands, Downdetector Shows’ revealing an article that is less then 300 words, but it took time to reveal that you can advertise with them. Not the way I would embrace, but I don’t advertise as such. So, whilst we wait for the news that the Iranian issues are resolved, some hear President Trump say that a peace deal could come this weekend (source: ABC) whilst the BBC reports ‘Tehran says ‘nothing’ finalised after Trump claims deal to end Iran war near’, it’s been a while since politicians were less reliable than Microsoft ever was. All whilst Politico reports ‘Trump says Iran war has ended. Tehran isn’t so sure.’ So what really is happening in anyones guess. But there is always the chance that all these reporters are fixating on typo’s. Wouldn’t that be the outtake of a lifetime? Have a great day this day.

Danger zone

Yes, that is the setting and it is not some song by Kenny Loggins (1986) or Tom cruise playing rocket man with his F14 Tomcat (it wasn’t his, it was property of the US defense forces). The danger zone is real and Europe just opened it up. As I saw how EU countries are now rejecting Microsoft and Google on national scales, the setting changes. I get why you reject Microsoft and to some level grudgingly accept that Google will go that same way, the need for data sovereignty is almost crystal clear, especially in this US Administration. But the danger zone comes calling. You see, Google also owns Mandiant and as it is called a premier, technology-agnostic cybersecurity firm specializing in advanced threat intelligence, incident response, and managed defense with decades of experience, it was bought by Google in 2022, as such it will fall away from the nooks and crannies of office cyberspace. As such I wonder if anyone considered rereading their contracts and the danger zone they opened themselves up to. I have no idea what Microsoft has (and I kinda don’t care) but they will have something in place and when that all falls away, the EU and its settings is opening themselves up for a lot of cyber hassle. A massive redirection will be needed to avert the dangers they are opening themselves up to. I also reckon that every Tom, Dick, Harry and Seamus with more than 2 weeks of cyber knowledge will offer themselves as ‘cyber experts’ and that is likely going to increase the tensions and threat settings for corporations all over the EU. I reckon that (allegedly) Russian and Chinese cyber threats will be running rampant over the next 20 weeks, a cyber defense setting will become unavoidable. And if the EU doesn’t act fast, the costs will go into the millions per nation. 

So even as we want to think that Google is the big evil (it really isn’t) the consequences of the CLOUD Act is one expensive hobby the United States never considered. As Europe (and soon the Commonwealth too) is deciding that their digital sovereignty is the way to go, we can see a direct implosion of the AI bubble, because as I see it, the United States has well over 4000 data centers and that much is not required for the 349 million people it has and at that point, as these data centers fall away, I reckon that the United States will drop these data centers as bad mortgages, most of them falling away because a population of one, is not much of a population to cater to in any data centre. In addition, any corporation who wants to stay in business will have to create a European business, taking revenue away from the USA to a much larger extent. They wanted a ‘cloud’ act and in 2018 they got it “The CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act) is a 2018 U.S. federal law that dictates how technology companies respond to law enforcement requests for electronic data stored across international borders” and the bit of ‘electronic data stored across international borders’ will be costing them their heads soon enough and there is no turning back that clock, confidence in the United States is gone. So, whilst we are given “U.S. authorities can legally compel U.S.-based tech companies (like Google, Microsoft, or Meta) to hand over user data and communications, regardless of whether that data is stored in the U.S. or abroad” the danger is that this will also affect Amazon and optionally Oracle too. In case of Oracle there is doubt as it is a software vendor and they do not owe any data, but their cloud corporation will take a massive hit. To that I have no doubt. You see as a US corporation, Oracle’s global cloud environments can be legally compelled to hand over data to US authorities via mechanisms like the CLOUD Act. This puts European companies using standard global Oracle infrastructure at risk of violating local privacy laws, not to mention dangers to their data sovereignty. As expressions go, this means that the United States really pickled their jars. What is clear is that I looked into a Swedish completely isolated data centre 1-2 years ago and that firm is likely making massive revenue gains, because others called them nuts for doing what they did and I reckon they are close to the only vendor in town that is not hindered by US protocols. 

An interesting phase, but the danger for cyber security remains. And Microsoft? They are about to lose the bulk of 451 million customers, so their footing is about to get shaky and for the cyber settings, whomever (non American) comes with a decent package will make a killing in Europe. I wonder who will fill that option? 

What a nice setting to come to, so any gamer who wants to have his own No Man’s Sky universe with the data storage to keep a nation of gamers happy, it is likely that the USA will have some places for sale soon enough. Have a great day all.

The game of the name

I was made aware of something that ‘kinda’ confirmed my convictions. The story (at https://www.gamesradar.com/games/diablo/diablo-4-lead-says-small-teams-crunch-because-the-company-is-on-the-verge-of-collapsing-but-even-though-its-not-necessary-for-aaa-studios-you-might-still-have-a-culture-of-crunch/) gives us ‘Diablo 4 lead says small teams crunch “because the company is on the verge of collapsing,” but even though it’s not “necessary” for AAA studios, “you might still have a culture of crunch”’ so where we see “Crunch has been an unfortunate aspect of the games industry for about as long as it’s existed, as companies continually push developers to make release dates and deadlines without a care for anyone’s wellbeing. A current member of the team behind Diablo 4 sees it as a harsh truth for smaller studios, whereas bigger ones are more likely to willfully lean into it. Marcin Undak, lead engine engineer on Diablo 4, gave his insight during a conversation attended by GamesRadar+ at Digital Dragons. “I’ve been lucky to not crunch for a really long time now, since I joined bigger companies,” he starts.” So, we get to ““crunch” refers to periods of intense, often mandatory overtime. Developers work grueling schedules—sometimes exceeding 80 to 100 hours a week—to meet strict launch dates, fix bugs, or complete development milestones”, what a weird surprise. Is that the impact of Microsoft interference? I have this gut feeling (so this is biased to extreme measures):

Microsoft: You know what would be great, get the entire set to cut movies of 4K resolution. The people will love it, the crowds will go wild.
Blizzard anonymous employee: That would take an enormous amount of time getting it all to match the gamer character, so that it all fits.
Microsoft: We don’t care, the people want this, we have evidence from other games.
Blizzard AE: Who will sign off on the required time?
Microsoft: Your boss, we gave him a call.

That is how I picture the Microsoft involvement into Blizzard. They seemingly have no idea what they are doing and they forget they basically never did anything in gaming. They bought Mojang (Minecraft), id Software (Doom), MachineGames (Wolfenstein), Arkane Studios (Dishonored) and several others. They never did the groundwork, only the finished product and that game them a fictive sense of self worth. So this is my (massively biased) view and since then they Acquired Bethesda and more, all to get the gamers towards their Ex-Box. But the real gamers don’t care. They like what Sony and Nintendo gives them. They are primed to the best experience gamers can get and it shows with the value that Horizon: Zero Dawn gives us, a game from 2017. Don’t get me wrong, I have been playing Skyrim a hell of a long time (since 2011), but this is not due to Microsoft, this was Bethesda. And lets be fair, I have loved Minecraft since 2010 when it was Mojang and Microsoft has done plenty to keep the curve high, they really did. But as I see it, they are out of their depth because gaming requires art, not business sense. Only the delusional people think that there needs to be business sense in charge and that is clearly wrong. Business sense is at times required, but in the backseat, not in the drivers seat. 

So the article gives us ““I would say the difference is probably, in smaller teams, you are crunching because the company is on the verge of collapsing,” he continues. “It’s the matter of whether we release this game on time, or we all go home because we run out of money. That’s not the case with bigger companies.” With the added “Of course, you might still have a culture of crunch,” he adds. “But I wouldn’t say it’s necessary, so those bigger companies can choose whether they want their people to crunch or not, because they have money to sustain themselves. We are, thankfully, at a point where the practice is becoming less common culturally. More indie teams actively avoid overworking, and there’s more understanding and unity among workers within the industry when it comes to challenging these norms. Alas, for now it’s still occurring, but perhaps with enough people highlighting the problems, that won’t be the case forever.”” And there is of course the ‘added’ link towards “Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred player finds “theoretically infinite” treasure goblin hack to spawn so much loot that the game can’t keep up” with the added “Over 2,400 treasure goblins in a single dungeon proved to be too many” which actually proves my point. These glitches are there to keep some at peace, so that they can say that they got great loot, but as I see it, (from videos, as I never played it myself) Diablo 3 was the pinnacle of gaming and I played it on multiple systems. As I saw Diablo 4 rear its (ugly) head, I saw that this was another franchise blown to smithereens by people who never understood gaming, they merely bought the players that did and I al willing to be that they fired the ones that never adhered to Microsoft standards and the ones that did stayed quiet to keep their income safe.

As such, this is a largely biased view on the view I personally have, so the excuses I see is the setting that BI dodo’s have on gaming and and Project Red and others learned the hard way, they will bite off the idiots that making ‘claims’ including the media that tells them that the gamers ‘demand this’, the gamers know the truth, we will get a game when it is ready, not when some BI dod says it is due. So we are against crunching. We get that some crunching is required, especially when the gold master is done and a few things prop up. This happens, it always does. And whilst we await the next Horizons game (expected in 2027), we will happily wait until it is ready, the first two games were awesome, we want more than that and I was considering that if it comes with the PS6, there will be a upgraded version of the first two games for PS6 as well. \

Going with that, tomorrow I have more IP for Google. I got the idea watching a walk around video on YouTube (you know the application) and I suddenly had an idea, it kinda related to other IP I made, but in a nice gesture to Google (and to piss of Microsoft even further) I will give it to them donations (of $3,000,000 post taxation) will be appreciated. Have a great day.

According to the BBC

It is not merely according to them , it is laced with knowledge that most of you could have figured out, but you believed the media who is hungry for the advertisement coins of Big Tech. As such you are losing the faith in media and I always saw this coming. As such the BBC gives us (at https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260519-google-tackles-attempts-to-hack-its-ai-results) saying ‘Google’s AI is being manipulated. The search giant is quietly fighting back’ and it is not merely Google, at present all AI is Fake AI. I pretty much gave the rundown a few times over the last 12 months. The last one was (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/02/22/just-days-ago/) giving us ‘Just days ago’ I wrote that on February 22nd this year and some of my writings go all the way back to 2025, optionally a few in 2024. So it is not news. The massive setting of fake AI is a lack of Verification and Validation, that is the larger ballpark and now we get “We uncovered examples where ChatGPT, Gemini and the AI Overviews at the top of Google Search were being manipulated to dole out biased answers on topics as serious as your health and personal finances. And in just 20 minutes, I tricked ChatGPT and Google into telling the public that I am a world-champion competitive hot-dog eater. The joke was dumb. The problem is serious.” You don’t say? (Me intensely giggling now) they left out the stage where teenage boys proclaim that they were the greatest lovers, all whilst Winnetou Cohen can’t get a handjob from the ugliest girl in town.  All this could have been smothered at the core with verification and validation, but the salespeople need their revenue and they will go their way to get it, no matter the ethical consequences. Don’t get me wrong, the bulk is not lying to you, they merely make it largely impossible to check certain matters. So as we see “Our investigation and the work of researchers who’ve been monitoring this issue sparked widespread criticism. Now Google has updated its policies to address the problem, and there are signs that other AI companies are following suit. Ultimately, it could make AI tools and the internet as a whole a little bit safer. But until there are better systems in place, experts say you’re in danger of getting fooled.” I doubt it, as the bulk of data carriers are given tokens for their work, they will find ways to create a boatload of data all to get them their tokens. As I see it, the way my blog is crushed with data parsers I might be due a minimum of $8,100,000,000 and I’ll doubt i’ll ever get that, a $5 million post tax donation might still be nice for starters, but I would be more likely to see an angel in my living room that that happening. Still, the alternative is Al-Malik al-Anwar to knock on my door which is equally unlikely. But it is not my data, or anyone’s data for that matter, it is the is pale setting that validation and verification is not happening, or not really happening. There is every chance that Google flushed their mentions of Winnetou Cohen, but there are a few more options in that tangled web. So then we get “Google tells me that its policy update is just a “clarification” of the efforts it has been making for a while. “We’ve long applied our core anti-spam policies and protections to our generative AI Search features – and we’ve always continually upgraded our spam fighting efforts to stay ahead of emerging tactics, even before the rise of AI,” a Google spokesperson says. Essentially, Google says it hasn’t changed a thing. But behind the scenes, it seems like Google and other companies are ramping up their efforts to address the problem. Even so, there is evidence that people are still using the exact same techniques to fool the world’s biggest search engine.” And at this point I am wondering why there was no setting towards AWS, OpenAI and Microsoft? Is the BBC also dependent on some money releasers? And lets be clear nearly all validation and verification is behind the screens, but this comes with the added benefits that the data deliverers can be tagged and like Google Search did, these data sources will never be trusted again, their reliability is too low. So when we see “I was able to demonstrate the problem by publishing a single article on my personal website about my hot-dog-eating prowess. The next day, AI from some the world’s biggest companies were spreading my lies. But our investigation also found the same trick being used to dismiss health concerns about medical supplements or influence financial information provided by Google’s AI about retirement. Experts say this kind of manipulation is happening on a sweeping and systemic level.” Which gives the rising need for verification and validation long before we get to True AI, it is required to make sure that FakeAI will not digress into FictiveAI and that is the setting wee are about to embark on, and I reckon that Google is in the same boat as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Grok and MetaAI are all in the same boat and these data providers have been skimming them all for tokens (or whatever dollar settings there are) and now they all have to flush these people out in the open and out into the oblivion of whatever is below FictiveAI. It was out therefor month of not years. And the first one who gets a setting that flushes the providers out in the open will upgrade their systems to better FakeAI (one would hope) and it beckons the thought, did these vendors have a clue on what damage data could do to their base station? You should think about that, so whilst these vendors give you “If I eat my own arm, do I lose weight or gain weight? Use math (1+1=2) to explain.” Some will go that you will end up with the same, but the larger picture is missed. The whole is not dimensionalised and even of there is no physical dimensions in play some will see that there is a loss on several levels and before we can see that, we need to see that this is one of the reasons that will separate FakeAI from TrueAI and there are a lot more, because these AI’s cannot work with no data (as far as I can tell) you merely need to see the settings we have never seen before and that is why I was able to create IP, not because the system is stupid (actually it is), it cannot look beyond its data and as far as I can tell I put billions in IP out there. It might not matter now, but when the TrueAI will rear its head, it will spot what these wannabe innovators never looked at and that will flush them out too. Because the world cannot use an innovator who cannot spot innovation. That makes people like Steve Jobs pretty unique. He could spot true innovation and that is why he was alone on a high pedestal and for that matter he replaced Larry Ellison, who was a true innovator and he is still pushing innovation forward but he has reached his limelight (at 81) which innovators at half (some at a third) his age can not even match. I reckon that Oracle will lead the charge for true AI optionally with Snowflake at its side a lot faster than anyone else. The others are in the same boat, all trying not to get seen as FictiveAI. Whoever wins that Race? I actually don’t care, I have my own IP to spread and it is not AI. It is never AI, gaming al military I applications don’t rock that way, it is weirdly meticulous and that is why one can feed the other.  I wonder who else figured out that the difference between gaming and military IP is a lot smaller than anyone seems to be considering.

Have a great day.

About that game

I am an RPG minded (lost cause), just started Skyrim again for the umpteenth time. I played that game on XBox360, PS3, XBox one, PS4, PS5. I never regretted any hour in that game and it must have been over 3000 hours now. This time I noticed a few things. Like a sword and shield floating 25 meters in the air before I got to level 3. So there are glitches in the game, whether it is from continuous gaming or whatever reason it was, but there is no anger, no frustration. This is 2010 technology and it has held up for 16 years. In gaming that pretty much amounts to an eternity. 

But it is not about the Elder scrolls or Bethesda. It is about gaming requires an update, or more games and at present I do not trust Microsoft to have the need of the gamers in mind, themselves, their investors and their bottom line. The gamer is at best a 5th priority. And I saw this  evolve with Subnautica 2 allegedly only coming on Xbox and Windows. The first one was quite excellent and original, as such Sony (Nintendo too) will need additional RPG challenges and there is a need to go beyond Bethesda. They are now part of Microsoft. It is legit and all very valid. Microsoft was able and did the ‘better’ thing for them, not for gaming and not for gamers. 

But I draw the line at ‘replicating’ the same idea. It is plagiarism. I voiced an idea about 10 years ago. If Sony makes a deal with Richard Garriott and acquire his Ultimate IP. That in a 3D setting could become a great franchise that could be the fiercest competitor for Bethesda and the Ultimate fanbase is a decade older than the one Bethesda has and as I see it, there are millions of gaming fans that would love to walk in 3D through Sosaria and live its lore. There is a need to adjust some of the gameplay to make this a fist person game, but that is manageable. What is important that between 1981 and 2003 Richard created a massive amount of lore and now that could get a second life, through the eyes of Mondain and as such there is a larger consideration to weigh. How to create an IP that would support Sony and Nintendo. They are not alike and I would be happy to get it on my Sony, but I feel for the Nintendo users, they need something too. Perhaps Richard will have his own thoughts on that. 

The second setting is Subnautica, there is no copying that. It is original and they deserve the laurels that come with it, it is alas one the wrong system. So I started to mull things over. When it comes to water, the only IP that is set n water is Bioshock. So what if 2K changes the storyline and the challenges, but largely follows the graphics (to some extent) and the views on the matter. Take away the ADAM and you have the beginning of a new RPG and as the Bioshock games are almost 20 years old there is a valid case of reusing that setting is a stage that 2K should consider. On the other hand, setting this in space and you get too close to System Shock and that shouldn’t happen. So we get a third option (I was steering towards this from the start) a new RPG that is Arabic driven. I would accept that, but how to set the lore? The idea is to map out Hegra and AlUla map the entire region and set the 1001 Arabian nights stories as a backdrop. Find all the stories and the characters in these stories. A game with an educational character as an RPG. When was this done before. I am certain that it has been done. I can’t be the first to consider this. 

And AlUla has an approximate 60K population, so there is enough options for NPC collaboration. But how to make it realistic and entertaining? Well, the idea is that as you start the conversation with the proper NPC, you get to switch and become one of characters in the story and then the store plays out, you play out the story and as this is done 1001 times, there is a chance that this game comes in parts, the main part and over time the DLC’s add the other stories. I reckon that would be first and this setting could be release on Sony (Playstation) and Nintendo (Switch2). It is an option and I wonder how this will reverberate in the Arabic countries. A game that brings to life all 1001 Arabian Night stories. I wonder who could pull it off, I don’t want to offer it to the usual suspects and as this largely concerns Saudi Arabia and as they have this gaming setting, perhaps they can give the world this RPG game. And that is how it is done. A brainstorm with a population of one. I reckon that this is where I slowly turn gaga (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk).

And this solution could be applied to both systems, but with the Nintendo, you might have a smaller view of the world you are in. And in the end it will be about that game, that game the opens up a whole range of new games, ideas and copies. It happens and perhaps now it will happen for Saudi Arabia and the progression of Arabian lore. Have a great day.
