I was definitely gonna talk about Lilith

tw, mentions of, hope it's not waffling tldr

Ok for some reason the original post i wanted to makr suddenly posted when i wanted it as a draft because i wasnt done

Idk tumblr as an app is just losing it the more time i use it

But i know a too long tldr post is just gonna lose the point or accuse me of just "waffling" as the kids say these days

Anyway I always find black and white discussions about anything that's discomforting just a pet peeve

Tolerance isn't morals. But morals is complicated too. I do understand where people are cominf from. Violence that is not "Hollywood-ized" glamorized/ sanitized is just as bad as when they are as such. The way i see it, i look for intent and target audience. And even that is muddy. Anyone will pick up Barbie 2023 or Terrifier and wouldn't realize they're not the right audience, etc

I'm gonna get it out of the way that the BIGGEST issue DmC has is the fact that it's not quite as deep and searing in its political/social commentary, because it really would give us so much about the demons. Because as the story reveals, the demons have long successfully taken over the human world and leeching off of it for so long

It's their world, therefore their actions and influence had shaped this dystopia. So yes it would be so interesting to see how depraved, greedy and cruel their rule over humanity is.

And how that is a creative fictional reflection of our own very real life oppression

I'm not asking that DmC becomes a paragon of gutwrenching, revealing political, social or philosophical ripper that Ninja Theory may have wanted to do (and knowing their production process being scrutinized and under deadline, there was just no way)

But there could've been a clever efficient way about it because, yes, as fun and bold the demons' portrayal are they're mostly almost just waiting for Dante to come knocking...

We know THAT is usually the formula on the og DMC anyway. almost the lot of demon bosses are usually just waiting for the protagonist to come knocking

And i think specifically with Lilith we don't see how she operates. We don't fully see her villainy or how she is besides being a boss fight

.. and yes I'm going to talk about the Trade now......

When she does appear outside her elements, a lot of haters MISS the point that this chapter IS being depicted bleakly. Ninja Theory KNOWS that this is a very serious plot development.

Lilith's and the demon baby's deaths aren't a shock value without reason:

It's there because it shows Lilith's own human conditions and OUR ethics in handling a defeated opponent. We indeed were supposed to care.

It's also a very pivotal moment of WHO these characters are and who/what it is that they really care about.

Well in this case, it reveals Vergil's growing number of red flags. Vergil's impatience, selfishness and, incredibly, sudden lack of foresight. He's also an opportunistic asshat. And he even has the audacity to look at what he has done with horror, and tried to justify it. Even more so in the definitive edition. But dante chews him out for that

It also shows us that Dante keeps his word and he wouldn't harm Lilith nor the baby. He sees her impersonally and he's there for Kat's safety. It was Dante's plan to strike a deal with Mundus, but that's it. It was all to at least have the last remaining important people in their reisstance. And it was all supposed to go smoothly..

Funnily enough we see Mundus a lot more agitated. For someone who was supposedly uncaring and likely sees anyone under his disposal, Mundus cares for his heir. And to some extent then, to Lilith.

We were told by Phineas that Mundus doesn't care for anyone but for his own gains. Phineas si allso the one who relayed the idea about Lilith's pregnancy to Dante and what he should do with that information (and btw it has one of my fave close ups of Dante's eyes--he looks horrified at what Phineas is telling him about killing the demon baby😶..yeah even Dante feels something for demon babies).

This is probably lore terrirtory that Ninja Theory can't explain anymore (i think afaik). Surely, if Mundus doesn't care as much unless you're in his level of cruelty and systemic oppressor (but only as 2nd in command, he's number one), Mundus could've had anyone pregnant and have an heir.

He could've just Henry VIIIO his way with having multiple lineages... And yet he didn't. He chose Lilith. And personally we have no choice but to think he does care, in some roundabout way

It's surprising that a satire villain about capitalism, greed and cruelty, shows a smidge of humanity to us because he does care for his unborn heir. And his delusional statements aboit having brought order and prosperity to the human world, personally as years went by i can't help but feel sorry he can't see just how wrong he is. And it's so human....

... and sorry for this morbid joke but Mundus turns out to be more human than Elon Musk. Musk is being joked around as someone who's supposedly using his child as a human meat shield so Musk wouldn't be assassinatd

see this game.... It never stops giving. It's still relevant.. like Mundus extorting money from the President, and promises the politician power. ..Musk colluding financial rewards to ensure Trump becomes president... 😥😥😥

And lastly, the way both Kat and Lilith looked at one another as they're passing each other silently has got to be a very powerful moment. ..

like I don't get why people think this is them being used as trading meat like WTF

Like for someone who feels this is misogynistic their chosen words heavily implies something else about them, and misses the entire point simultaneously

Because this scene shows us the difference between these women. And how despite her power and influence, Lilith has been reduced to something that's way outside of her class.. and yeah I guess she's made to feel like cattle

And I'm not saying that to assuage the haters' perspective. This is Lilith realizing her vulnerable situation, now outside her comfortable dominion. And Ninja Theory depicting it as soberingly as much as they can

On the other end is Kat. And she literally comes from nothing. She's a freedom fighter and held as both a key instrument and deemed a terrorist. She's from the lower class. She's us (or you would be if you share Kat's motivations to help humanity..no judgement).

Lilith definitely doesn't deserve her sudden end, even if she is very much capable of exacting cruel revenge if she lived long enough for the story

If there is one thing I should add, DmC doesn't pass the Bechdel Test. The test isn't an ultimate golden law that supports feminism. But it is a very interesting social experiment. And I say this because the Trade chapter is the only time two female characters meet and they silently acknowledge each other's status.

I want to say this because they're basically from opposing forces, but for just that small moment Kat sees Lilith in an almost similar situation she is in. I'm definitely biased the way I see Kat, looking at Lilith with sympathy.

But also for the first time in Lilith's life, she acknowledges a human in a difficult situation.

It's a a very grey area. And it's a grey area that I think has been muddled for so long by haters or audiences looking in

This scene was never about anything celebratory. It is uncomfortable. It is done with a lot of emphasis towards the characters' motivations/goals and if their motivations/goals are going to be met, one way or another. It was a shocking chapter that I personally took a lot from even after all these years.

It probably helped i did kept replaying it then and each replay just keeps giving hints about how absurdly human these characters are..

I think this is too long now. Even for tumblr standard s. I think the app just .. won't work and load as it used to back then. I used to read long posts here but it looks this is long enough

It's too bad i do want to talk about how the devs CHOSE to make the human-passing demons look ugly

And in Lilith's case her uglyness reflects the plaatic surgery/vanity/superficiality that women have to take in order to be deemed important

And for that we have to connect this to Hollywood because it's a long standing micro-system that benefits and rewards looks, cruelty and money. the fact we have the film The Substance that just came out

And I think this whole beauty standard thing will always remain relevant because we're still a very much hyper image society.

especially in a lot of modernized competitive societies, such as South Korea, China and Japan, and quite like Singapore, India, Vietnam. I list these Asian countries because they ARE advancing a lot in the beauty market/field surpassing European and American standards. And the fact these Asian countries have values that are so rigid when it comes to their treatment of women. And ofc Kpop and Kculture

It stars Demi Moore. Who has undeniably had tons of plastic surgery. And she plays the lead role who's had to take drastic measures to live up to these expectations. And it's insane because Moore is playing a character that obviously is a horrific satire of her and her fellow female peers situation in Hollywood.

There's also the archetype/stereotype of the Good = Beautiful & Bad = Ugly

And it extends to current online discourse about "hagsploitation" but also like ... Would it matter if the characters appeared conventionally attractive or not? What does that say about our assigning of morals when it comes to appearances? Not tomention the continued villainization of old women, of vain women, etc.

Like if people really wanted to pin Ninja Theory for supposed misogyny why would they make her look ugly? But then again, wouldn't the problem be there still if a villain is attractive? So why villainize creators for making an ugly villain, but not when there's an attractive villain? And of course the fact i have to highlight this can be seen as a problem. Because both Barbas and Mundus aren't conventionally attractive either. But I point out Lilith... But hey, i point her out because this whole thing is about her character, her potential &the shortcomings...

And there is the fact that Lilith transforms and shifts herself to USE her demon child in the boss fight. So technically YES we're fighting a demon baby

And to me this is the best Show & Tell example of a character,and one of the few good things of Lilith's villainy: she's basically an abusive parent and using her child as leverage, both in her social status and favor from Mundus, and literally as a boss fight

I know it's messed up and Ninja Theory knows it's messed up. They have Combichrist singing What The Fuck Is Wrong With You and it is meta And i also speak of this as a new dad like... To me, more and more that song is just more so pointing at Lilith

Personally I love how it revels in taboo and dark topics to show us the irl abuse/negativity that certain people will do in order to maintain their power. I applaud creators who don't sanitize stuff.

I mean, and someone will probably point out it's a bad comparison but like... I'm showing my era/age,.. it also doesn't help DmC is in the right time frame of the Kardashian-Jenner empire's rise to fame and fortune.

And by now, we should know these women have done a lot and have done damage to maintain their power. And whether or not as enablers, followers or actual doers of continuous patriarchy, they've done it.

.so yeah that's all I'll say. It's actually too long now.. like disagree even further if u want but i wanna say my piece as a alternative thougt because I've been a fan of DmC. And personally I'm. A fan of dark media a lot of times because i think the more we talk about & present the dark stuff, the more we won't deny & erase the bad stuff happening.. ✌️

Hi, regarding your remark og bangpd selling to devil. Do you think the future releases may have more of said devil influences? Even when he is in other branch of company? And can something similar happen as what happened to taylor and her masters? I always thought bts were too big to get that kind of sht but with how said devil presents himself this time im not sure anymore...

The said devil is not budging. Contracts have been signed. Army's boycott efforts are useless. Because that's not how boycotts are done. Boycotts mean completely stopping all engagement of all sources of content. You can't just trend tags and then go on to post a thread about "bts members as ninja turtles", because that is engagement. Boycotting takes organised effort. Instead , army twt is just fighting among themselves, calling each other murderers and antis and what not.

Protest trucks were okay. But even that did nothing in the end.

And trust me, Hybe is seeing everything. They are just biding time till the boys come back one by one. Because when they do, i assure you most army twt will forget everything and will hype up their return so much that Hybe stocks will rise. There will still be rush for 2025 and people will give 10M streams to bts recomeback title song.

Unless and until, people completely silence themselves, no company will listen. Not Starbucks, not Columbia records, not Hybe or any other Israel funding brand for that matter.

I do think future releases will have his influence. He will still manage at least Jungkook's promotion and production in the US. He will still give jobs to Israel supporting artists, he will keep sneaking in such people into the very depths of their music. So much that it becomes impossible to separate. Much like now.

That is the sad truth of this world. All corporations suck. From the coffee you drink, to the social media apps you use, some part of our life will always be associated with genocide supporting brands. So unless there's an organized effort, nothing will happen.

Sorry for the rant, anon.

And about whether the devil will pull a Taylor steal on the boys..that will never happen. Bangpd is too clever for that. It's not like he doesn't know scoot's history.

Finally, I'm not sure what bts members think about all of this. They are in the korean army right now, so it's not like they can speak up.

As for army twt, their focus is shifting from fighting for human lives to fighting people on the internet. Just waste of energy and time. I guess that's the disadvantage of twitter- so many words thrown around that they lose meaning.

I wish all fandoms could unite and participate in a protest. Most big artists currently are signed to Isr//ael funding labels. The entire music fandom should unite.

Music is one of the few things in life that brings happiness, peace and now even that is corrupted.

The AUDUSD PPI Playbook: Unlocking Hidden Moves Before the Crowd Why Traders Miss the AUDUSD + Producer Price Index (PPI) Goldmine (And How You Won't) Ever placed a trade on AUDUSD and watched it tank faster than your excitement for that Netflix show everyone hyped up? Yeah, we've all been there. But what if I told you that one sneaky economic indicator holds the key to getting ahead of those market moves—before they hit the headlines? Welcome to the underground world of the Producer Price Index (PPI). For those thinking, “PPI sounds like an app I forgot to uninstall,” buckle in—we're about to turn this dry-sounding metric into your new favorite trading weapon. The Little-Known Reason PPI Moves AUDUSD Harder Than You Think First, let’s demolish a myth: Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the only inflation data that matters. Wrong. PPI is the whisper before the scream. While CPI measures what consumers are paying, PPI tracks what producers are charging each other. It often moves first. If producers are paying more today, consumers will be paying more tomorrow. Smart traders front-run the crowd by watching PPI like a hawk. “PPI tends to lead CPI by a few months,” says Kathy Lien, Managing Director of BK Asset Management. “Sharp changes in PPI often foreshadow CPI surprises.” (Source: BK Asset Management) When it comes to AUDUSD, this becomes especially potent because of Australia's heavy reliance on commodity exports. Rising production costs signal upstream inflation, which can push the RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) to tighten policy. Hidden Pattern: AUDUSD often reacts preemptively to strong PPI releases before CPI confirmation. Insider Trick: The Aussie + US Divergence Play Here’s where things get spicy. AUDUSD is a tale of two PPIs: - Australia’s PPI (quarterly release) hints at RBA's future moves. - US PPI (monthly release) shakes up the Fed expectation game. Smart money thrives on divergence. When Australian PPI is hot, but US PPI cools off, AUDUSD often rallies hard. Example (2023): - Australia’s Q2 PPI surged 3.9% YoY (ABS Data). - US July PPI came in soft at 0.8% YoY (BLS Data). AUDUSD jumped over 2% within days, as traders sniffed out a hawkish RBA and a dovish Fed split. Underground Tactic: Watch for contrasting PPI releases. Divergence triggers bigger moves than uniform strength/weakness. The Forgotten Window: Front-Running PPI Leaks (Without Breaking the Law) Market pros often react to PPI within seconds. How do they do it? They cheat... legally. “Many institutional traders use supply chain data and commodity price shifts to estimate PPI before release,” says Boris Schlossberg, co-founder of BKForex. (Source: BKForex) You can get an edge too: - Copper prices: Australia is a major producer. Spikes often precede hotter PPI. - Freight rates: Rising shipping costs hint at rising producer expenses. - Input costs (oil, gas, metals): Check indices like S&P GSCI before PPI week. Ninja Move: Build a quick-check dashboard combining commodity prices and global freight indices. StarSeedFX Smart Trading Tool can automate data feeds, saving you hours. (Check it out) Hidden Gem: PPI and AUDUSD Breakout Timing Most traders pile in on release day—too late. PPI moves AUDUSD most violently in pre-market thin liquidity hours. Sweet Spot: 30-60 minutes before the US session open (12:30-13:30 GMT). Why? Market makers widen spreads overnight, creating breakout zones. When PPI data aligns with these levels, AUDUSD explodes faster than your coffee machine at 5 AM. Real-World Case Study (October 2023): - US PPI printed above expectations at +2.2% YoY. - AUDUSD cracked key support during pre-US hours. - Breakout added 50 pips before the New York crowd woke up. Pro Move: Identify pre-PPI price clusters. Use pending orders around these zones before the crowd floods in. Myth Busted: You Don’t Need 8 Screens to Trade PPI Like a Pro Most retail traders think trading news like PPI requires Bloomberg terminals and an espresso IV drip. False. What you really need: - Economic Calendar: Set alerts for Australia + US PPI (StarseedFX Forex News). - Pattern Recognition: Identify pre-PPI support/resistance zones. - Execution Plan: Set pending buy/sell stops before release (adjust risk based on volatility). Elite Shortcut: Download the free StarseedFX Trading Plan to lock in your strategy and avoid impulse trading. (Grab it here) Key Takeaways (Print This and Thank Me Later): - PPI is an early warning signal for AUDUSD moves before CPI confirmations. - Divergence matters: Australia vs. US PPI contrast fuels sharper rallies/drops. - Pre-market timing beats release-day noise. - Commodities & shipping hint at PPI trends before release. - Pending orders > FOMO clicks. Final Word: Don’t Chase, Plan Ahead PPI trading isn’t about gambling on releases. It’s about building a system that sniffs out subtle shifts before others catch on. Test the waters, refine your setup, and turn that forgotten data point into your AUDUSD cheat code. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated Read the full article

1, 3, 27, 33, 44, 46

1. who is/are your comfort character(s)

Leonardo and Michelangelo Ninja Turtle, specifically MM Leonardo and the 1987 versions of both, the silly little guys <3

Also Classic Sonic, but that's kind of a product of having some weird stretch toy of him I use so I do not become a wall hitter 💕

3. do you leave the window open at night?

No, because that's how you get robbed (my windows are too small for that but whatevs), and I dont believe in weather apps so if it was windy my room would end up covered in dust and I would wake up, slip and fall and hit my head on a corner, and that'd be a terrible thing to have on my gravestone, same thing for rain

27. about how many hours of sleep did you get?

Between 9 and 8 because I don't read minutes when tired

33. the last adventure you’ve been on?

I will count Costco as an Adventure because some lady was like half an inch away from hitting me with her cart the whole time and my mom accidentally made me cut in line and I was in constant fear of being called out after realizing (we only bought like three things so no one cared but still 😔)

44. you get a free pass to kill anyone, who is it?

Victor from 5th grade who spoiled the ending of the most recent season of a show I'd been watching at the time, I hold on to my grudges

46. favorite holiday film?

Klaus on the basis that it's the only Holiday movie I've ever rewatched.

But if we used a looser definition of film, back when I was younger I saw an animated short film(?) of The Little Match Girl that changed me as a person, and I cannot for the life of me find it again

Revolutionizing Animation: How Accessible Motion Capture is Empowering Independent Creators

In recent years, motion capture technology has undergone a significant transformation. What was once a tool reserved for big-budget Hollywood studios is now becoming increasingly accessible to independent creators. Thanks to advances in software and hardware, high-quality motion capture is no longer confined to those with deep pockets. This shift is poised to revolutionize the animation industry, enabling artists to create studio-level animations from the comfort of their own homes.

The Evolution of Motion Capture Technology

Motion capture, or "mocap," is the process of recording the movement of objects or people and using that data to animate digital character models in 3D software. Traditionally, this technology required expensive equipment, such as multi-camera setups, specialized suits, and a dedicated team to operate and process the data. However, modern advancements have democratized this technology, making it more affordable and user-friendly.

One of the most significant innovations in this space is the development of affordable motion capture suits like those from Rokoko and Xsens. These suits use a network of sensors to track the wearer's movements in real-time, translating them into digital data that can be easily imported into animation software like Blender, Unreal Engine, or Unity. Rokoko’s SmartSuit Pro, for example, is a wearable mocap suit that costs a fraction of traditional systems, making it accessible to small studios and solo creators.

The Rise of Mobile Motion Capture

Another major breakthrough is the advent of mobile-based motion capture. Apple's iPhone, equipped with TrueDepth cameras, now supports facial motion capture through apps like Live Link Face. This technology allows creators to capture facial expressions and movements using just their smartphone, which can then be applied to 3D characters in real-time. The ease of use and portability of this solution have opened up new possibilities for creators working outside traditional studio environments.

For instance, the popular Unreal Engine, developed by Epic Games, has integrated tools that work seamlessly with these mobile mocap solutions. The MetaHuman Creator, a tool within Unreal Engine, allows for the creation of highly realistic human characters. When combined with iPhone-based facial capture, creators can produce lifelike animations that were once only achievable in large-scale production studios.

The Impact on Independent Creators

The accessibility of these technologies is already having a profound impact on the animation industry. Independent creators, who previously faced significant barriers to entry, can now produce high-quality animations without the need for a full studio setup. This shift is not just about cost—it’s about the creative freedom that comes from having advanced tools at your fingertips.

Take the example of the short film "Cops and Robbers," created by Arnon Manor and Timothy Ware-Hill. This animated project was produced during the COVID-19 pandemic, with all the motion capture work done remotely using mobile devices and consumer-grade equipment. The film received critical acclaim and demonstrated the potential of these accessible technologies.

Similarly, indie game developers are harnessing motion capture to create rich, immersive experiences. Games like Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice by Ninja Theory have used cost-effective mocap solutions to deliver AAA-quality animations on a budget. The game’s success underscores how indie creators can now compete on a level playing field with larger studios.

The Future of Animation

As motion capture technology continues to evolve, the gap between independent creators and large studios will likely continue to narrow. Tools that once required significant investment are now available to anyone with a creative vision and a willingness to learn. This democratization of technology is fostering a new wave of innovation in animation, where ideas can be brought to life without the constraints of traditional production methods.

The future of animation is increasingly decentralized, with independent creators leading the charge. As these technologies become even more advanced and accessible, we can expect to see a surge in high-quality content from creators all over the world, reshaping the landscape of the animation industry.

Time Management and Productivity: How to Become a Time Master!

Hey there, teens! Ever feel like your day flies by and you didn’t get everything done you planned? No worries! It’s time to learn how to become a true time master and boost your productivity! 🎯💪

1. Set Your Goals Like a Pro

Before diving into time management, start by defining your goals. What are your dreams? Your ambitions? What do you want to accomplish today, this week, or this year? With clear goals, you can better plan and prioritize your tasks.

Tip: Use apps like Trello or Todoist to create task lists and track your progress. It’s like a dashboard for your goals!

2. Create a Killer Schedule

A well-thought-out schedule can turn a chaotic day into a series of successes. Split your time between important tasks and relaxation. A good rule is the 2-2-1 method: work for 2 hours, take a 20-minute break, then work for another 2 hours before taking a longer break.

Tip: Use tools like Google Calendar or physical planners to keep an overview of your schedule. Add reminders so you don’t forget anything!

3. The Pomodoro Technique: Your New Best Friend

The Pomodoro Technique is simple but super effective: work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After four sessions, take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. This helps you stay focused and avoid burnout.

Tip: Download a Pomodoro app to stay on track and time your work and break sessions.

4. Avoid Distractions Like a Ninja

Distractions can turn a task from “doable in 30 minutes” to “doable in 2 hours.” Turn off your phone notifications, create a distraction-free workspace, and focus on one task at a time.

Tip: Try browser extensions like StayFocusd to limit your time on social media and other distracting sites.

5. The Art of Saying No

Knowing how to say no is crucial for effective time management. If a request or task doesn’t align with your goals or priorities, don’t be afraid to politely refuse. This will help you stay focused on what’s truly important.

Tip: Prepare a short, respectful response for additional requests: “Thanks for thinking of me, but I’m currently focused on other priorities.”

6. Learn to Delegate

You don’t have to do everything yourself! If you’re working in a group or have tasks you can delegate, don’t hesitate to pass them on. This allows you to focus on what you do best.

Tip: Make sure to give clear instructions and check the results to ensure everything goes as planned.

7. Make Time for Yourself

Productivity doesn’t mean working non-stop. Be sure to include time for relaxation, fun, and recharging. A good balance between work and leisure is essential for staying motivated and performing well.

Tip: Plan activities you enjoy, like watching a movie, playing sports, or hanging out with friends. This will help keep you in a good mood and stay productive.

With these strategies in hand, you’re ready to conquer the world and become a true time management champion! 💪🚀 So, what are you waiting for? Put these tips into practice and turn each day into a successful adventure! 🌟🎉

The Dark Side of the Tech Boom: Are We Selling Our Souls for Convenience?

Technology. It's revolutionized our lives, making communication instantaneous, information readily available, and entertainment endlessly diverse. But with every technological leap forward, there seems to be a shadowy counterpart lurking in the background. Let's take a peek behind the curtain and explore the potential pitfalls of our tech-obsessed world.

The Filter Bubble: Trapped in an Echo Chamber of Our Own Making?

Algorithms are supposed to make our lives easier, right? Wrong. Social media platforms and search engines use algorithms to curate content specifically for you, creating a personalized "filter bubble." This may sound convenient, but it exposes you only to information that reinforces your existing beliefs, creating a distorted view of the world. Imagine only ever hearing news that confirms your political views – not exactly a recipe for a well-informed citizenry.

The Attention Economy: Are We All Just Products Being Sold?

Free apps and websites might seem like a steal, but remember, if you're not paying for the product, you are the product. These platforms are in the business of capturing your attention, which they then sell to advertisers. Every click, like, and swipe generates data that's used to profile you and target you with hyper-personalized ads. Are you truly in control of your online experience, or are you just a pawn in the attention economy?

The iZombie Apocalypse: Is Tech Stealing Our Humanity?

Smartphones are glued to our hands, social media notifications constantly ping, and even our sleep is tracked by wearable devices. Technology is undeniably good at keeping us connected, but at what cost? Is our constant digital engagement leading to a decline in real-world interaction and genuine human connection? Are we becoming a generation of iZombies, more preoccupied with our digital lives than the world around us?

The Rise of the Surveillance State: Big Brother is Watching (and Listening!)

Facial recognition software, voice assistants that record our conversations, and data collection on a massive scale – it's enough to make anyone feel like they're living in a dystopian sci-fi movie. The increasing power of technology in the hands of governments and corporations raises serious concerns about privacy and individual freedom. Are we surrendering our right to privacy in exchange for convenience and security?

The Digital Divide: Leaving People Behind in the Tech Dust

Not everyone has equal access to technology. The digital divide can exacerbate existing social inequalities, leaving those without access to technology further marginalized. This can limit access to education, employment opportunities, and even basic services. As we move towards a more tech-dependent world, how do we ensure that everyone has the chance to participate?

The tech boom has undoubtedly brought incredible advancements. However, it's crucial to acknowledge the potential downsides and work towards a future where technology serves humanity, not the other way around. By using tech responsibly, advocating for ethical practices, and promoting digital literacy, we can create a future where technology empowers us, connects us, and helps us build a better world, for everyone.

So You Want to Fight the Tech Deluge? Here's Your Action Plan

The dark side of the tech boom might seem daunting, but don't despair! There are ways to navigate the tech world responsibly and minimize its negative impact. Here's your action plan for becoming a more conscious tech user:

Become a Data Detox Ninja:

Audit your apps: Take a critical look at the apps you use. Do you truly need them all? Delete unused apps and adjust privacy settings on the ones you keep.

Embrace "incognito mode": Utilize incognito or privacy browsing modes to limit data collection while you surf.

Fight the filter bubble: Seek out diverse news sources and challenge your own biases. Follow accounts with opposing viewpoints and engage in respectful discussions.

Reclaim Your Attention:

Schedule tech breaks: Set aside designated times to disconnect from your devices and reconnect with the real world.

Embrace the power of "Do Not Disturb": Utilize these features on your phone and other devices to carve out tech-free zones.

Find alternative entertainment: Read a book, go for a walk, pursue a hobby – there's a whole world waiting to be explored outside the digital realm.

Be a Champion for Digital Literacy:

Spread the word: Talk to friends and family about the importance of responsible tech use and data privacy.

Support digital inclusion initiatives: Advocate for programs that bridge the digital divide and ensure everyone has access to technology and the skills to use it effectively.

Demand change: Contact your elected officials and tech companies to demand ethical practices and greater user control over data.

Remember, you are not powerless. By taking action, you can be a force for positive change in the tech world. Embrace technology for its potential, but never forget the importance of human connection, critical thinking, and protecting your privacy. Together, we can create a future where technology serves us, not the other way around.

The Future of Tech: A Glimpse Beyond the Horizon

We've explored the current tech landscape, its dazzling innovations and lurking shadows. But what lies beyond the horizon? Here's a peek into the potential future of tech, a world brimming with possibilities and challenges:

The Rise of the Machines (But Hopefully the Friendly Kind): Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, and its impact will be profound. Imagine AI assistants that not only manage your schedule but also anticipate your needs. AI-powered robots could revolutionize healthcare, manufacturing, and even space exploration. The key, of course, is ensuring the responsible development and ethical use of AI to prevent the dystopian scenarios of science fiction.

Welcome to the Metaverse: Blurring the Lines Between Reality and Simulation: The Metaverse, a vast, immersive virtual world, is no longer science fiction. Imagine attending concerts, working in virtual offices, or even traveling the world – all from the comfort of your living room (or perhaps your personalized VR pod!). The Metaverse holds immense potential for entertainment, education, and even social interaction. However, concerns linger about the potential for social isolation and the need for regulations to ensure a safe and inclusive virtual space.

Human Augmentation: Becoming More Than Human?: Biotechnology is pushing the boundaries of what it means to be human. Imagine brain implants that enhance learning or memory, or prosthetic limbs that are not only functional but also feel natural. While this technology offers incredible possibilities for those with disabilities or injuries, ethical concerns arise. Will human augmentation become a status symbol, creating a divide between the augmented and the unaugmented?

The Age of Sustainable Tech: Tech for a Greener Future: Climate change is a pressing issue, and tech has a crucial role to play in creating a sustainable future. Imagine solar panels that are ten times more efficient, or energy grids powered by renewable sources. Biodegradable electronics and self-healing materials could significantly reduce e-waste. Sustainability must be at the forefront of technological development to ensure a healthy planet for future generations.

The Democratization of Innovation: Tech in the Hands of the People: Open-source hardware and collaborative platforms are making innovation more accessible than ever. Imagine a world where anyone with an idea can create a prototype, share it with a global community, and receive feedback and support. This democratization of innovation could lead to a surge in groundbreaking solutions to global challenges, from healthcare to environmental problems.

The future of tech is brimming with possibilities. However, it's up to us to ensure that technology serves humanity, promotes inclusivity, and fosters a sustainable future. By fostering an environment of responsible innovation, critical thinking, and ethical considerations, we can harness the power of tech to create a better world for all.

This series of articles was generated by AI to spark discussion and explore potential future advancements. The ideas presented are hypothetical and may contain elements of exaggeration. Always conduct your own research on emerging technologies before making decisions.

The accuracy of the information cannot be guaranteed, and it should not be taken as professional advice.

New Post has been published on https://yaroreviews.info/2023/10/what-does-tiktoks-egx-sponsorship-mean-for-the-games-industry

What does TikTok's EGX sponsorship mean for the games industry?

BBC Sport

By Andrew Rogers

BBC Newsbeat

Walk around EGX, the UK’s biggest video games show in London’s Docklands, and you’ll see bright lights, demos for the latest games, and plenty of colourful cosplay.

But this year you’ll also see something else – TikTok logos everywhere.

The company is now the show’s main sponsor, signing a three-year deal to support it.

It’s probably no secret that TikTok is looking to muscle in on games content – it’s a rapidly growing area for the platform, another category it wants to expand into alongside music and films.

According to its own figures, gaming posts racked up more than 3 trillion views last year.

But video games content is a crowded field, still ruled by YouTube and live streaming site Twitch, although that’s seen some high-profile users move to rivals like Kick.

Some creators say they’ve managed to boost their audience via TikTok, such as Sophie, known to her 500,000-plus followers as Cadaea.

After struggling to build an audience on Twitch for a “good eight years”, she started posting news and views on games on TikTok.

“The discoverability on Twitch isn’t very good,” says Sophie, adding that the competitive platform is dominated by big-name streamers like Ninja and Pokimane.

She believes TikTok is to thank for her boosted following, and it’s going pretty well for her.

“I actually quit my full-time job earlier this year in investment banking to pursue content creation, which is pretty insane if you ask my parents,” says Sophie.

“However, the money is out there.”

On an app with more than three billion downloads, not everyone can become a star. And how much money those who make it actually get from TikTok is a source of debate at the moment.

The app recently revised its payment programme, and some creators have claimed the amounts received vary massively from video-to-video.

On the EGX show floor, Dorrani, known as 100PercentCrit, tells Newsbeat there’s more to be made from brand deals, as with other social media apps.

“There’s career paths here in content creation,” he says.

“You’d be very, very surprised at the money that can be earned. But I don’t think it’s from the sense that people would think.”

TikTok’s UK head of gaming and sports Rollo Goldstaub tells Newsbeat the app is “becoming a more influential part of how games are discovered”.

He believes the app can give smaller developers a chance to go viral.

That’s what happened to the makers of Billie Bust Up – a colourful musical platformer that flooded For You Pages after being boosted by the app’s algorithm.

The small team behind the game said their Kickstarter crowdfunder to raise money for the project hit its target in 48 hours after the viral moment.

“It was a big surprise. A big, big surprise,” says Ash, one of Billie Bust Up’s creators, who’s showcasing a demo of the game at EGX.

“The fact that people are so interested is a big motivator and a big help.”

Rollo claims stories like this are an example of TikTok helping indie developers to reach new audiences.

“The playing field has truly been levelled. The barrier to entry is low. You only need a phone and internet signal.”

But there’s still space for big companies to get their products into your feeds the old-fashioned way – by paying to boost content.

It’s not unique to TikTok, and something big developers such as Activision Blizzard have done for their new releases across most big social networks.

Gaming conventions aren’t the only place you’ll see TikTok’s logo. UFC, the Women’s Rugby Six Nations and Burnley FC’s women’s squad have all been sponsored by the app this year.

The Chinese-owned app is often the subject of negative headlines and criticism, and there’s been talk of banning it among some US politicians.

Could sponsoring some of our favourite hobbies and sports be a way to create positive associations in the people who actually use it every day?

Rollo insists that’s not the case and TikTok wants to be a “friend to games”.

With apps constantly adding features offered by other social media apps to keep users on their platforms for longer, is TikTok looking to follow Netflix and start making games itself?

“There are no plans”, Rollo says, but adds that the company tests new features all the time.
