I see a few "Print Screen" shortcuts for screenshots, but an even easier way to take a screenshot with just your left hand is "Windows + Shift + S" and it'll automatically open the snipping tool. Useful for when you want to only SS a specific part of your screen

2025 Will be the great boom of AI

I believe 2025 will be the great boom of AI. Everything has accelerated exponentially and we're now right on that pivotal point where AI is merely being held back by hardware. Seeing the recent developments from AMD, Intel and NVidia, I truly think that we'll make a breakthrough.

One of the more prevalent problems with AI (excluding hardware) is also data sets. With Nvidia and Google training AI on synthetic data sets, AI won't hit data roadblocks. Eventually, with mass trained AI, they'd start making a change to more humanoid interactions for the end user before releasing the first fully operational and experiencing AI. I say experiencing because live-learning/experiences are an important part of what makes us.... well, us. Breaking that barrier blurs the line between human and android.

Title: Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Maine

Maine is a major character in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners who I felt got cut off just too soon - Absolutely great character and the father figure to David (Main character) in the film.

As leader of his crew, Maine was always an upfront and fair leader, however there wasn't much shone upon his early life, and his rise to someone of his reputation. I wish there was a spinoff on Maine's early life so that we'd get a bit more insight into his life!

It'd first look at his early life, how he turned from a frail and weak kid to an underground fighter and eventually to his shift in NUSA SpecOps (New United States Armed forces) and how it psychologically impacted him whilst having to burn down village after village. The following would then look at his rise to power as the leader of a crew and problems with recruiting in Night City (A few occasions, the 'recruitees' tended to try to kill Maine) until his death in the original Cyberpunk Edgerunners series.

Personally, I view Reddit as the best structure possible, with upvotes and downvotes, subreddits that you join that are by topic and the idea that trolls get undeniably downvoted and moved towards the bottom of the comment section so I can simply view the 'better stuff'.

However, there are a few downsides to this and my perfect social media platform would pretty much work upon the current structure.

Now, imagining I have the same userbase size as a large-scale social media company, I'd personally focus on 3 points

Originality

I personally just hate logging onto Instagram or Youtube and seeing the same cookie cutter 'trend' be pumped out by the millions for a few likes. The ideal social media site for me is seeing constantly new content, with the occasional repeat being okay.

Fact/authenticity & Removal of Bias (Political)

When you go to view your social media, I'm sure that the last thing you want to see, unless you're actively seeking it out, is misinformation or heavily biased content that's almost false. There's a fine line between 'sh*tposting' and deliberate misinformation and most of the time, it's the latter. Removal of misinformation and twisted news material would be wonderful

Rewards/Loyalty

Okay, I'll be honest, I just thought about how good JustAbout is with its rewards program, and just imagine that on a larger scale where the community with skill can actually be rewarded. It would be a good time for smaller scale original artists, skills and talent to come and shine through! It would also help with the originality and effort that people put into the site.

I've tried Ecosia and Bing! before, and personally, I couldn't warm up to either of them.

Ecosia is an absolute sponsored ad minefield, where pretty much the entire page before you is advertisement riddled until you scroll down. Sure, they have a lovely viewpoint and planting trees from most of their revenue is a good action, but from a user standpoint, it's just not viable.

Bing is probably the closest to Google I've seen that's functional and works well. However, I found the search engine is not as refined as others. It's good in its own sense, but just comparably weaker than competitors.

Gmail, Drive & Chrome. The main 3 .

Let's get onto what I think about them!

Gmail: The best all rounder mail system!

I've used so many different mail systems before, and Gmail just works perfectly for my needs. I found Hotmail (Outlook now?) was too hard to navigate sometimes, Apple Mail was rediculously oversimplified it lacked things, but Gmail hit the spot perfectly. I receive around 60 emails per day, and being able to effectively create tags and have filters automatically set up extremely fast to sort promotional, primary and socials is great.

Drive: Needs some honest work.

Drive is a major letdown, and I'm only using it due to its cloud compatibility.
I've never seen a more annoying storage client to navigate before. You want to access the file you just closed? Too bad! It ain't in your recents and you won't be finding it unless you take effort to search for it. Want to find something that someone sent to you via docs? Welp, massive road trip of looking through "recommended" docs you haven't opened in the past 4 years with only 2 words written in them. Much rather prefer Microsoft OneDrive over Google Drive.

Chrome: The ultimate RAM user

Chrome Chrome Chrome... where do we even begin?
This thing is an absolute memory sucker, using well over 400mb of RAM on some webpages! Not great for anyone remotely busy and requiring more than 2 tabs open at once. It's like Russian Roulette with a browser, hoping that the next tab you open doesn't max out your memory with a BSOD - As of right now, with 6 tabs open, it's using 2.3gb of RAM! That's with only 1 extension active as well!

Not to mention their disgusting restrictions on Adblockers, claiming

This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions

You mean it doesn't allow you to suck even more RAM up, and restricts monetary gain? It's totally not like you're a multi-billion dollar company.

Anyways, I'm definitely going to swap to Mozilla Firefox once I take the effort for it.

Overall, looks like Gmail is the only Google product worth using.

Who ever knew that ChatGPT would've joked about 911?! Crikey

This one is going to look goofy, but here's what a 10 minute stunt from learning Blockbench at 2am looks like

I present to you.... erm... I'm going to be honest, I hardly know myself. But I really wanted to input something I created and original.

Anyways, here's Barry the elder cave worm!

These little elder cave worms develop their homes inside little dugouts inside of caves (Surprise!) eating away slowly at the surrounding minerals and ores! They'll chew through anything, given enough time, before excreting the block it just ate in the form of a refined powder, able to be smelted for double the amount of ores! However, they're easily spooked and hate the light. If scared, they'll eat up as much of the ore as possible before hastily squiggling away, leaving a trail of bio luminescent slime in their wake.

The great part of these little... worms is that you're also able to tame them! When built a home (Made of a 3x3 block of granite, andesite and cobblestone) they'll treat it as a homebase for dropping off any materials it finds, whilst giving the worm an ore (Gold, emerald etc.) causes it to give chase to the ore relentlessly until it finds the ore and brings back that refined excreted goodness.

One of the main enemies to these little elder cave worms however, are bats! Bats love to play with their food, and will pick up the worm before dropping it repeatedly to slowly deal fall damage until the worm's 8 hearts are gone and eating the worm whole! (Leaving you to lose any ores that the worm has processed)

Finally, to help with ordering out your wormies, each worm has little stripes to indicate what ore it's processing and hunting down - In the example given, this worm is hunting down gold ore. You can also monitor its eating process by the intensity of the colors of stripes on its side - This one is almost finished as you can see from the color intensifying towards the butt whilst the color towards the front of the stomach is fading.

Whoopsies!

You might notice that this is actually round 2 of killing the Ender Dragon (Respawned) as the first recording didn't actually record any video due to an AV1 bug, resulting in just audio and an ENORMOUS amount of effort lost.

However, now that I know the Ender Dragon loves throwing you up in the sky, and it's invulnerable once hovering over the portal (Just a few changes since Xbox 360 days) this time round was quite a bit quicker

Cyberpunk 2077 Samurai Album Cover Redesign (Somewhat)

In the game Cyberpunk 2077, you come to find about Johnny Silverhand, the most recognizable Cyberpunk 2077 character's (Looks a touch like Keanu) music side and the band they made:

Samurai

Here's just a little album cover redesign - Also a follow along from one of the life choices in game; Street Kid.
