LAN ZZZ ⚡

I've been running a private members club since 2004. It started as an online gaming community. What it became, I never expected. Here's the story:

@tradeit_gg Reloading mid-mag has gotten people killed since 1.6. Valve finally made it matter instead of just being a skill issue

📰 In Case You Missed it: CS2 received a massive update yesterday. Reloading before your magazine is empty now wastes any remaining rounds & some weapons have had their ammo counts adjusted up or down.

@NoahKingJr Middle East is raising cash fast. When big holders need money quickly, they sell what is easiest to sell

what the fuck is going on with Gold???

@pcgamer Good news for everyone who refused to upgrade and turned out to be right

Optiscaler updated to support FSR 4 on older AMD RX 6000 GPUs without the need for driver mods pcgamer.com/hardware/graph…

@GamesRadar 77 on Metacritic still beats half the games people hold up as masterpieces. The score isn't the game

Palworld and Ori devs offer Crimson Desert support, suggesting players give it "some time" and remember "one man's 77 is another man's 100" gamesradar.com/games/rpg/palw…

@GamesRadar Red Storm built the Rainbow Six that made LAN parties worth showing up to. Now they answer support tickets

Ubisoft guts OG Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon studio, laying off 105 developers as Red Storm transitions from game development to tech support gamesradar.com/games/ubisoft-…

@RoundtableSpace The name is doing a lot of work. Let's see if the software keeps up

Athas is a command center for agents. Every task, every agent, every terminal - one interface. The agent era needed an OS. This might be it.

@GoogleAIStudio The multiplayer one is interesting. Building real-time games with AI is something our members have been waiting on for a while. Now someone just needs to finish their solo project first

vibe coding in AI Studio just got a major upgrade 🚀 • multiplayer: build real-time games & tools • real services: connect live data • persistent builds: close the tab, it keeps working • pro UI: shadcn, Framer Motion & npm support we can't wait to see what you build!

@cursor_ai Curious to see if this holds up. The benchmark wars are getting hard to trust but the price point is hard to argue with

Composer 2 is now available in Cursor.

@GrassFedBitcoin @start9labs Running your own server at home used to mean an afternoon of pain just to get remote access working. If Start Tunnel actually fixes that, a lot more people are going to stop making excuses

New @start9labs is beautiful. The accompanying Start Tunnel is the revolution that was needed for the home-server to be genuinely usable without the horrible workarounds required before (Tailscale/Tor/DDNS etc). It just works. 0.4.0 will be in public beta any day now but the current alpha release is stable and I'm happy to recommend it.

@NoahKingJr Seen this play out in real time. The loudest critics are always the ones who haven't touched the tools yet

AI isn’t the problem, your refusal to adapt is.

@SimplyBitcoin @Bitkey Good message, bad framing. Self-custody is not complicated with or without a product. Write down your seed phrase, put it somewhere safe. Done. The reason people leave Bitcoin on exchanges is not because the hardware wallet market failed them

Every day your Bitcoin sits on an exchange, you're trusting someone else with your future. Self-custody doesn’t have to be complicated. @Bitkey makes it simple, secure, and built to recover when things go wrong. Use code SIMPLY for 20% off.

@OfficialLoganK @GoogleAIStudio The backend and auth being one click is the part that actually matters. Anyone can build a frontend. It was always the server side that killed the momentum

Introducing the all new vibe coding experience in @GoogleAIStudio, feating: - One click database support - Sign in with Google support - A new coding agent powered by Antigravity - Multiplayer + backend app support and so much more coming soon! x.com/GoogleAIStudio…

@Pirat_Nation An optional field that will be mandatory in 3 years when some government requires it

The main program that starts and manages almost everything on modern Linux computers, “systemd”, recently added an optional "birthDate" field to its user database records. This stores a user's full birth date so apps can check age, for example, to comply with new age-verification laws in places like California, Colorado, and Brazil. It is not automatic age checking. Systemd only saves the date. Only admins can set or change it, but the user and some sandboxed apps can read it.

@GoogleAI @GoogleAIStudio @antigravity @Firebase @kohl's point about the demo is fair. If you want people to believe this handles real apps, show it handling a real app

We’re launching a brand new, full-stack vibe coding experience in @GoogleAIStudio, made possible by integrations with the @Antigravity coding agent and @Firebase backends. This unlocks: — Full-stack multiplayer experiences: Create complex, multiplayer apps with fully-featured UIs and backends directly within AI Studio — Connection to real-world services: Build applications that connect to live data sources, databases, or payment processors and the Antigravity agent will securely store your API credentials for you — A smarter agent that works even when you don't: By maintaining a deeper understanding of your project structure and chat history, the agent can execute multi-step code edits from simpler prompts. It also remembers where you left off and completes your tasks while you’re away, so you can seamlessly resume your builds from anywhere — Configuration of database connections and authentication flows: Add Firebase integration to provision Cloud Firestore for databases and Firebase authentication for secure sign-in This demo displays what can be built in the new vibe coding experience in AI Studio. Geoseeker is a full-stack application that manages real-time multiplayer states, compass-based logic, and an external API integration with @GoogleMaps 🕹️

@RoundtableSpace The offline part is what actually matters. Most "intelligence" tools are just someone else's server deciding what you see and when

Crucix pulls from 27 intelligence feeds every 15 minutes — satellite fire detection, flight tracking, radiation monitoring, conflict data, market prices - all on one local dashboard. Hook it to an LLM and it alerts you on Telegram when something meaningful changes. No cloud. No subscription. No security clearance required. The world's real-time intelligence was always public. Someone just finally aggregated it.

@OfficialLoganK @GoogleAIStudio We have all been there at 2am. The question is whether it survives contact with the morning

@GoogleAIStudio I am about to bring my idea to life hold on

@Pirat_Nation Keeping the lights on just to run IT and maintain an engine nobody outside Ubisoft uses. That is not saving a studio, that is a very slow goodbye

Ubisoft is closing game development at Red Storm Entertainment, about 105 people will lose their jobs. The studio helped create famous series like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon. It will keep running to support company IT systems and the Snowdrop game engine.

@GamesRadar Never. The people still running games on max settings with no upscaling are cosplaying as someone with time to waste

Are you planning on turning DLSS 5 off later this year? gamesradar.com/hardware/deskt…

@tradeit_gg Gabe said it himself and then shipped it anyway. Someone at Valve is having a very awkward Monday

Valve just added realistic reloading to CS2… yet here’s Gabe Newell talking about how much he dislikes realism in video games… so what changed? “I have NEVER thought to myself that realism is fun, I play games to have fun”

@JakeSucky The RuneScape shop owner fantasy that every player has had since 2003 is finally a real game

These indie devs are making an MMORPG NPC Simulator where you play as an NPC and manage your own shop😂 - Sell weapons, armor, and items to players - Assign quests to players - Trade with players and negotiate deals
