Should we really worry? 🤔 People are now freaking out over the Y2K38 "2K38 "Epochalypse." 💣 A ticking time bomb for older routers, GPS receivers, IoT smart devices, and even car computers that haven't migrated to a 64-bit architecture.

What did you do last time you were in nature? 🌲 This Forest was chosen for the Star Wars' Ewok Village due to its otherworldly and ancient appearance.

Fun facts about the Ewoks, the furry, teddy bear-like creatures from Star Wars:

✔️Ewoks were originally intended to be Wookiees, but their small size made them more practical for filming.

✔️ The Ewok language was created by recording and then manipulating the sounds of various animal vocalizations, such as bears, badgers, and walruses.

✔️ Ewoks were inspired by the indigenous peoples of the Philippines, specifically the Ifugao tribe and their practice of creating rice terraces.!⭐　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

Have you lost an ability & how did you overcome it? 💪For me, I have 50% use of my left hand, mobility and coordination issues from nerve damage -- I have many ways that I've adapted my life. ♿️

This video clip is about a sighted gamer that became rapidly blind, and how he began a fully blind game dev studio called EbonSkyStudio and created Sable, a blind forward game platform.

Accessibility in video games is like having a big welcome sign for everyone to join the party, no matter their abilities. For the blind, it's like adding a secret passage that leads to a treasure trove of audio cues and descriptive text, unlocking a whole new level of gameplay. By designing games with accessibility in mind, developers can create a more diverse and inclusive party that everyone can be a part of. 🤝

What do you think about brain meds? 👇
They go way back, to treat ADHD and depression's attack.
Amphetamines in the 1930s were grand,
For hyperactivity, it was a winning hand!

In the 1960s, studies showed Ritalin's might,
In improving ADHD, it was just right!
Adderall and Strattera have also been tested,
Their effectiveness for ADHD is bested.

For depression, meds like Prozac and Zoloft,
Are known to uplift and help you stay aloft.

Meds aren't a cure, just one piece of the puzzle,
So take them with therapy and self-care to avoid a muddle.
Remember, not everyone responds the same,
So work with your doc to find your perfect brain game!

Remember this intro? 😝 15 yrs of content creation, wow. Definitely reflecting thanks to this fun viewer made remix. Some of you are long time followers and were with me through my tech reviews of the 2009 Droid Eris (haha). To my Linux reviews, then gaming videos that turned into gaming live streams.

My tech side evolved into information security videos, my personal side kicked off @geeksabroad and now we're so happy to be really achieving geeking for social good with my nonprofit @geekbeacon and our conferences @geekbeaconfest
💜💜💜
I couldn't have done any of this without you! Thanks for the wild ride, and following me wherever this grand adventure takes us 🤓

What games still hold up today? 👇 Grim Fandango is a cult classic adventure game by LucasArts in 1998! It takes place in the afterlife, where you play as Manny Calavera, a travel agent who must help souls on their journey to the Land of the Dead. The game's humor is a blend of 1930s' film noir and Mexican folklore, which creates a unique and hilarious setting.

"My sythe, I like to keep it where my heart used to be."
Witty dialogue, colorful characters, and inventive puzzles make it a must-play for any fan of the point and click genre. It's a game that, despite its dark subject matter, will make you laugh out loud in a way that only quirky, beloved adventures can.

I've been waiting for a sequel forever, haha!

Have you ever played a tabletop rpg? D&D is making a comeback, baby! It's like bell-bottoms, but way more epic. The game has been around since the 1970s, when people thought it was weird to pretend to be a wizard or an elf. But now, thanks to the magic of celebrities like Vin Diesel and shows like Stranger Things, everyone wants to be a level 20 Bard.

D&D was created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, who were probably just bored and wanted to play make-believe with their friends. But it turned out to be a stroke of genius, because now millions of people around the world are doing the same thing.

So get your 20-sided dice, brush up on your spells, and prepare for an adventure like no other. Just be careful not to get eaten by a gelatinous cube. Seriously, those things are gross. 😅

What's your last horror movie/game... and did you like it? Let's talk nerdy about fear. 🤓 Humans like fear because it's a leftover trait from our cavepeople days when running from danger was necessary for survival. But now, we don't need to run from tigers, so we get our kicks by watching scary movies, horror games and riding rollercoasters. It's like our brains are saying, "Hey, we don't need to run anymore, but let's pretend we do for fun!" Plus, our brains release dopamine, which is basically a natural high that makes us feel good. So, in conclusion, we like fear because we're adrenaline junkies with brains that are easily tricked into thinking danger is a good time.

The flute is NOT for "band camp," okay?! 😅 I just wanted one. Have you played a Baldur's Gate game yet?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　
The original Baldur's Gate was a special game that came out way back in 1998. It was developed by Bioware and was groundbreaking for its time. The game had a deep and engaging storyline, memorable characters, and an innovative real-time with pause combat system. It set a new standard for RPGs with its attention to detail and world-building.

Now, fast forward to 2020, and we have Baldur's Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios. The game takes place 100 years after the events of the original Baldur's Gate games and features improved graphics, a new storyline, and new mechanics like turn-based combat and dialogue choices that affect the story. The game also includes more in-depth character customization and party dynamics.

How full is your schedule right now? Don't forget to give your energy levels the respect they deserve! A study published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology found that entrepreneurs who practiced good time-management skills and prioritized self-care were less likely to experience burnout than those who did not. Additionally, a study in the International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior & Research found that entrepreneurs who had a better work-life balance reported less burnout and higher levels of job satisfaction. There are also studies that suggest that adopting mindfulness practices and focusing on self-care can help mitigate the negative effects of burnout.

By respecting how much energy your tasks take, you can ensure that you're not overexerting yourself on draining tasks, while also tackling high-energy tasks when you're at your best. This can lead to increased productivity, better decision-making, and even greater success in the long run.
