@chisinRPL @marcusjihansson Haha yeah, that's actually why I don't stop him from playing games on my PS5 (hotwheels, spiderman, etc) I'd rather he spend time on those, than ending up with roblox

@Vyprex @marcusjihansson LOL I shall not be held responsible! But yes, it’s a very painful process to cut exposure to potentially harmful content. Redirect their interest while you still can!

My son just caught his first ever pokemon in a mainline game (he’s playing Leafgreen on Switch). He was so excited he almost knocked down the toilet door (I was inside) to tell me “I… I caught a Pidgey, papa!” For the last few months I’ve been trying to minimize his exposure to devices (it’s been a huge struggle) especially after he discovered Roblox. For a 7 years old, it’s still noticeable for them to differentiate what is real person interaction and scripted RPG dialogues in a digital space. But both providing him the same level excitement. The former is alot more dangerous for sure. Pokemon mainline game is probably the easiest and safest on-ramp for him into gaming and I’m glad I’m able to introduce him to Leafgreen.

@chisinRPL @marcusjihansson Thanks for the tip. I know I'm gonna be facing this very soon and wasn't sure how to deal with it. Now I can go buy that switch 2. Early investment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Three things: 1. I was observing how my kid was interacting in Roblox and how he behaved. Both were negative experience from my POV and prompted me to take action. 2. I took away devices that allows him to access content so freely (he was able to use find his way to Roblox using iPad speech to text) and supervise his usage for education purposes only. 3. Screen time was of course directly impacted but we still allow them to watch supervised, curated content on YT kids (by actively blocking channels with bad behaviour and negative content). I am by no-means the best parent in the world but I'm fully aware of some of the danger on the internet that may harm him. Striking that balance been very challenging so slowly introducing him to content (like Pokemon mainline games) is the method I'm experimenting with.

𝗝𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜, 𝗕𝗨𝗞𝗔𝗡 𝗝𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗗 Cerita-cerita yang keluar dari SPRM kebelakangan ini seperti episod-episod K-Pop. Sejak Ketua Pesuruhjaya SPRM, Tan Sri Azam Baki dituduh terpalit dengan pelanggaran peraturan kepemilikan saham dan pendedahan hubungan mesra SPRM dengan mafia korporat oleh Bloomberg, saban beberapa hari kita akan didedahkan dengan episod terbaru yang banyak plot twist. Cuma daya khayalan kita tak pernah sampai ke plot twist episod terkini, iaitu kemunculan watak James Chai ala James Bond yang keluar dari Azam Baki. Penulis skrip di belakang tabir patut diberikan duit raya yang lebih tahun ini. Skrip ini mungkin boleh kita pitch kepada Netflix, satu hari nanti jadi siri hebat yang ditonton di seluruh dunia. Ikut naratif yang sedang dibangunkan pencatur-pencatur, James Chai ini adalah seorang anak Cina yang licik sehingga berjaya memperdaya keseluruhan kerajaan di dalam satu skandal penyelewengan berjumlah RM1.1 bilion. Bukan sahaja Amir Hamzah, seorang bekas CEO terpedaya, tokoh perbankan Malaysia yang banyak connection, Tengku Zafrul pun terpedaya. Kalau saya seorang sahaja yang terpedaya, kita boleh terima lagi. Menteri-menteri yang hebat-hebat seperti Gobind Singh Deo, Zambry Abdul Kadir dan Fahmi Fadzil pun turut terpedaya. Hebatnya James Chai ini, bukan sahaja menteri-menteri terpedaya, Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim, tokoh tersohor dunia juga terpedaya dengannya. Sebab itu dia kini diburu SPRM sebagai person-of-interest utama dalam skandal terbesar selepas 1MDB, iaitu penyelewengan sebanyak RM1.1 bilion. Sejak beberapa minggu lepas, rakyat terpaku dengan cerita skandal ini. Helaian ceritanya diselak satu persatu selang beberapa hari. Kementerian itu diserbu, Ketua Setiausaha itu disoal siasat. Dokumen itu diambil. Setiap kali SPRM bergerak, tindak tanduknya menjadi berita besar di paparan skrin media-media perdana. Tetapi liciknya James Chai ini mengalahkan Jho Low, sehebat James Bond spy ternama itu. Mana tidaknya, walaupun skandal ini dikatakan melibatkan RM1.1 bilion, sehingga sekarang SPRM tidak dapat menjejaki satu sen pun yang kononnya diselewengkan. Tidak seperti Jho Low yang harta dan wang seleweng dikesan di parti-parti mewah, akaun sulit, kondominium mewah di London dan New York, kapal layar mewah; setakat ini satu-satunya harta James Chai yang berjaya dikesan ialah sebuah Proton Persona model 2020. Macam mana dia boleh sembunyikan RM1.1 billion ini sampai tak dapat dikesan? James Chai juga berbisa dan tidak takut berdepan dengan SPRM, tidak seperti Jho Low. SPRM sehingga sekarang tidak dapat mengesan Jho Low. Bukan sahaja Jho Low, menantu Tan Sri Muhyiddin pun tak dapat dikesan. Jadi kita tidak terkejut SPRM tidak dapat mengesan anak Cina selicik James Chai ini. Setelah buntu, SPRM menyiarkan notis dikehendaki untuk mendapat maklumat di mana James Chai ala James Bond ini. Tapi hebatnya James Chai, tidak seperti Jho Low - dia bantu SPRM untuk cari dia dengan memberikan semua maklumat untuk menghubunginya. Di LinkedIn pun boleh, X pun boleh, di Substack pun boleh (malangnya tak ramai pegawai penyiasat yang biasa membaca di Substack!). Siapa James Chai ini? Macam mana anak Cina kurus keding ini berjaya memperdaya dari menteri-menteri hingga ke Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang tersohor itu? Bagaimana Azam Baki yang berjaya menjejaki dan mengesahkan derma diraja Saudi semasa 1MDB dahulu, tiba-tiba hilang punca dan tak jumpa cari James Chai? Manusia jenis apa memperdaya seluruh kerajaan dalam skandal penyelewengan RM1.1 billion tetapi hidup papa kedana? Tidak bernafsukah anak Cina ini? Saya akui jalan ceritanya cukup memukau. Penulis skrip dan pengarahnya mesti berbangga dengan hasil fiksyen ini. Kali terakhir rakyat Malaysia dihidangkan dengan fiksyen ala James Bond ini ialah semasa 1MDB dahulu. Azam Baki juga terlibat di dalam skripnya masa itu, sebab itulah agaknya jalan ceritanya kali ini sama berpusing-pusing seperti drama derma Saudi dahulu. Sebelum fiksyen drama derma Saudi 1MDB yang dibintangi Azam Baki, rakyat yang lebih tua pernah digamit satu lagi fiksyen bersimpang siur. Cuma genre yang lain dan bintang yang lain. Genre ketika itu memaparkan kelucahan melampau dan protagonis pada ketika itu bukan anak Cina kurus keding, tetapi seorang bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri bernama Anwar Ibrahim. Fiksyen 1998 itu memaparkan tilam-tilam yang diusung untuk menunjukkan bekas air mani, selain dari pelakon-pelakon tambahan yang langsung tidak kena dengan watak dalam cerita itu. Seorang yang dikatakan tampan, langsung tidak tampan. Seorang yang dikatakan menawan, hanya orang sawan yang kata begitu. Maka akhirnya, Malaysia melengkapkan satu kitaran. Kalau fiksyen 1998 menggunakan tilam, fiksyen 2026 memaksa kita menggunakan imaginasi. Bayangkan wang-wang yang dicuri tetapi tidak dapat dibuktikan kecuriannya. Bayangkan pak-pak menteri diperdaya seorang anak Cina kurus keding. Skripnya berbeza, matlamatnya sama. Sekiranya kamu berani mengkritik yang berkuasa, aku akan ajar kamu. Tapi plot twist yang paling besar ialah: Siapa James Chai ini? James dibesarkan di dalam keluarga biasa, pergi ke sekolah menengah kebangsaan, mendapat 12A1 dalam SPM. Fasih berbahasa Melayu, fasih menulis di dalam bahasa Melayu, duduk di taman perumahan majoriti Melayu. Namun dia anak Cina, jadi dia tidak mendapat biasiswa. Keluarganya membayar sendiri yuran pengajian undang-undang yang mahal di UK. James membalasnya dengan mendapat tempat pertama keseluruhan di universitinya dalam jurusan undang-undang. Hasil kecemerlangan itu, James melanjutkan pelajaran di peringkat sarjana ke Universiti Oxford. Bila balik ke Malaysia dan menduduki peperiksaan CLP (Certificate in Legal Practice), sekali lagi James menduduki tempat pertama di seluruh negara. Satu hari dalam tahun 2013, James mengetuk pintu saya. Ketika itu saya baru beberapa bulan menjadi Ahli Parlimen. James mahu menjadi intern saya. Dia tidak pilih ahli parlimen DAP, dia tidak pilih ahli parlimen Cina PKR, dia tidak pilih menteri MCA. Dia pilih ahli parlimen Melayu dari PKR. Sebabnya kerana saya dan James berkongsi satu pandangan yang sama. Bahawa manusia ini dilahirkan baik dan kita wajar saling belajar. Bagi seorang yang berumur 20 tahun pada tahun 2013, selepas keputusan PRU 2013, anak Cina kurus keding ini merasa terpanggil untuk menyumbang membina Malaysia yang saling berkasih sayang, bukan saling bermusuhan. Bila James ke UK dalam tahun 2015, saya galakkan beliau untuk terus mengambil tahu keadaan di Malaysia. Saya selalu sebut kepada anak-anak muda seperti James bahawa “a life without a higher purpose is a life not worth living”. James pun termakan kata-kata saya. Dia dan kawan-kawannya menubuhkan Malaysian Progressive UK (MPUK), seperti juga beberapa orang bekas intern saya menubuhkan Malaysian Progressive Australia (MPOZ). Kumpulan anak muda seperti James inilah yang berdemonstrasi membantah pemenjaraan Anwar Ibrahim kali kedua di London dan Sydney. Mereka juga yang menyertai BERSIH di kota-kota besar di seluruh dunia. Bila James balik ke Malaysia dalam tahun 2018, dia mahu memberikan 3 tahun usia muda menyumbang kepada reformasi dan membina Malaysia yang baru. James tidak bekerja di firma besar atau syarikat antarabangsa, James memilih untuk bekerja di INVOKE bersama-sama anak muda lain, sehinggalah tahun 2021. Saya rasa serba salah untuk mengacau hidup dan kerjayanya apabila saya diberi amanah menjadi Menteri Ekonomi di hujung tahun 2022. Tetapi berkhidmat untuk negara itu adalah dalam darah daging anak Cina kurus keding bernama James Chai ini. Maka sekali lagi dia mengorbankan kerjayanya untuk berkhidmat di pejabat saya. Saya tidak rasa James mahu disanjung. Dia datang berkhidmat atas kerelaan sendiri, dia meletak jawatan bersama-sama saya atas kerelaan sendiri. Tetapi adalah sangat memualkan menjadikan seorang anak Cina yang lebih patriotik berbanding sebahagian besar dari kita, sebagai bola yang boleh disepak-sepak. Sasarannya bukan James. James hanyalah seorang anak Cina kurus keding yang boleh ditendang-tendang. Sasarannya ialah saya. Dan itulah bahagian yang saya paling terkilan. Dalam senario lain, seorang anak Cina yang jiwa kebangsaannya sangat kuat, sangat cemerlang dalam semua yang dia ceburi, fasih berbahasa Melayu, pelajar terbaik di sekolah kebangsaan, lebih ramai kawan Melayu dari bukan Melayu - James sudah menjadi watak yang dikagumi pimpinan Melayu dalam PKR, UMNO, PAS dan BERSATU. Malangnya dalam senario sekarang, James dijaja dan diperagakan sebagai watak jahat demi mencipta satu fiksyen politik dekad ini. Syabas Malaysia!

My statement on MACC’s public search notice as a wanted man. I’d like to iterate that I’m not Jho Low nor am I in Macau. This is plain and simple using the largesse of the state against a nobody like me. I’m not a politician, tycoon, or an influencer. Read here:

I stopped taking advice from childless people. Fitness. Productivity. Life advice. All of it. And here's why: It's not that they're wrong. It's that they're playing a completely different game. Taking life advice from someone without kids is like getting marriage tips from a guy who's "really good at first dates." Cool, bro. But you've never had to initiate the tough conversation and own your mistake just to keep the peace. We're not in the same sport. We've all seen some 25-year-old fitness influencer with non-negotiable 5am routine. Wake up. Meditate. Journal. Cold plunge. 45-minute lift. Sounds beautiful. You know what woke ME up at 5am last Tuesday? A 3-year-old standing 3 inches from my face whispering, "Daddy, I frowed up." There's no cold plunge for that. Just reality. These people have optimized their lives around ONE variable: themselves. I'm optimizing for: → A marriage that still thriving after 10 years → Kids who actually want to be around me → A career that provides for my family → A body that lets me keep up with all of it That's a completely different goal and it requires a different formula. Real discipline isn't waking up at 5am when your apartment is silent and your only responsibility is a houseplant. It's a 10pm workout after the kids went to bed because your morning blew up showing up for your family when they needed you. That's the game I'm playing. Childless advice isn't just impractical. It's unrelatable. Their goal: optimize for SELF. My goal: optimize for FAMILY. It's like a vegan telling me how to grill a steak. You might technically know the steps. But I don't trust you with the tongs. The best advice I've ever gotten came from parents in the trenches. They don't talk about "optimizing morning routines." They talk about: • 20 push-ups while your kid eats breakfast • Walking with your wife after dinner because it's the only time you'll get together • Meal prepping Sunday because Tuesday night is a warzone THAT'S advice that actually works. So no, I'm not taking health advice from someone whose biggest inconvenience is their supplement stack being shipped late. I want the guy who's been elbow-deep in a diaper blowout and STILL hitting their goals. That's the guy who I'm listening to. Find your people. Take their advice. Ignore the rest.

Today I learnt that during the cold season, china's hotel aircond is basically a heater. The temperature in the room is at 27-28 degrees, it's so hot I can't sleep 😭

Fk the Internet

I will expand on my point: 1) You are using AI in your daily life. Search engines are AI-powered, your phone camera is AI-powered (sorry, you haven't become better at taking photos-smudges, blinks-all fixed by AI), Alexa? Siri? Google Assistant? Guess what, they are powered by AI. Netflix, YouTube, Twitch-all use AI to highlight content you're interested in. Google Maps and most navigation apps are now powered by AI to calculate your route. Spam filters, health and fitness trackers, even your online planner-all powered by AI. You use AI every day to make your life easier and find information faster, you're just too proud to admit it. 2) Witch hunts like with Larian Studios will cause only one thing: they will never tell you they're using AI. You think silly outrage will stop anyone from making their work easier? "Bitch please." I've been here when Photoshop was considered a "real art killer" frowned upon by traditional artists and discarded as "not real art." The majority of art is now made using computer tools. I remember when tens of thousands of Kodak shops closed down when traditional photography was replaced by digital cameras, millions of people lost their jobs, including me. I don't remember outrage back then. Let's face it, AI is here whether you like it or not; it will not go away because it makes life easier. We can be civil about it, accept that studios are using AI, and appreciate that they are willing to be honest with us, or we can fuel witch hunts that will cause studios to be completely silent about any use of AI in their work. This is no longer Kansas, Dorothy.

Tomorrow will be a very interesting day :)

@NoReferences @grok explain who's that in the tone of a comedian who is not funny.

Over her critiquing video games mind you

It's understating how bad the monetisation of esports is to point out most fans pay nothing to consume the product. It's far worse than that. They pay nothing, run every kind of adblock they can find and then complain about the sponsors funding events.

For those who come after!

Do not get excited about KT

Hahaha whatttt

AL 3-1 T1 super banger match but I don't think T1 has it in them to win

@sengfoo88 I only recently found out that kopitiam coffee is actually unique to Malaysia, and some people actually called it "Malaysian coffee". My mind was blown since that day 😂

Coming home from China made me appreciate kopitiams like my family's Fatt Kee even more. Until my trip to Hangzhou, I didn't realise that China didn't have kopitiam-style coffee, which was invented by Chinese immigrants in the past. Each sip now feels like a taste of heritage.

@SupergiantGames LF> PS5 version

@Benny_TehVerto He more femes than most esports players now

@Vyprex Tough luck now he has gotten all the fame he needed

Actually.. UM really so hebat meh? From what I recall speaking HR personnel, IPTA hires are usually just straight up, bad.

@surayaror Doesn't work that way. Chinese who can't speak Mandarin like me also wont go through. They'll literally speak to you in Mandarin during the interview process 😂

Sekarang Airpods dah ada live translation, adakah maksudnya tempat kerja yang 'mandarin speaker only' dah tak valid la kan 🤔
