#while you stream from another platform / device

[punk-pins]

tumblr live update on mobile: it now has the option to snooze the live streams at the top of the dashboard for 30 days, but the video icon for the tumblr live tab in the middle of the footer can’t be disabled at all :/

I'm not upset that blu-rays are being phased out. Formats all become obsolete and then die out.

My worry is there is not an adequate replacement for physical media. If you stream a 4K movie, it is usually over compressed and has a lossy audio track. Usually the quality *improves* when you move on to the next thing. But in this case, only the convenience is improved.

And there is no way to truly own the media you buy online. Even on Amazon when you "buy" something, that just means you have indefinite access to the file on their server. But if they lose the rights to that content or decide to delete it for tax purposes, you lose it too.

There is a service called Kaleidescape. It allows you to download blu-ray quality movie files onto local storage. Unfortunately the service has way too many caveats. You can only play the movies on their proprietary equipment. If they go out of business you will lose all of your movie purchases. And while they have a lot of mainstream, big budget movies, their selection is far from vast.

Oh, and their hardware starts at $8,000 and each movie is between $10 and $30 to purchase. And if you want to save more than 125 movies, the cost balloons to nearly $20K for the hardware.

The quality issue will eventually solve itself. New codecs like AV1 and H.266 will allow files to be compressed without losing any quality.

But I have no idea what to do about being unable to truly own your media. No studio will agree to DRM-free downloads that you can store anywhere and play with any device.

Maybe they can create a system where you can register any device you own and be allowed to play the file on those registered devices. So you get a file you can download, but the DRM requires verification you own the device it is being played on.

Perhaps they could designate a few cloud storage services as approved download platforms. You are free to shift your media from cloud to cloud, but it must always stay on the cloud and be registered to you. That way if a cloud storage company bites the dust, you still have the option to move your media to another place.

It's not as good as DRM-free local storage, but I don't see studios agreeing to anything else.

In truth, people are probably never going to buy movies in the future. If you have the option to rent for $3 or buy for $20, people probably aren't going to see the value in spending that much to own a movie.

Maybe the solution lies in some kind of law. If a platform no longer wishes to host a show or movie and they can't sell it to another streaming service, then they must give up the rights and allow the Library of Congress to save and distribute it.

STILL GOT IT !

?: While you continue reign over your niche internet kingdom, Ellie finds herself consumed with thoughts of you, you and you! So much so, her fans are staring to notice. Joining your livestream, which she’s been trying to abstain from, you quickly remind her on why you’re so addictive in the first place! / E.W / 18+

!: too lazy to write all warnings but pretty tame when it comes to smut. s

Her heart initially falls to her ass when she sees the plethora of comments underneath her latest video, usual adornment of little heart emojis which now turned into discussions of twitter threads. How had a clipping of her rubbing herself inside a public bathroom stall, the usual shtick before she clocks into a boring 9-5– garner this much negativity? What changed?

“Eh, you don’t seem as passionate after the collab tbhhh”

“lost her touch lmfao”

“does this mean we get another video with you and—

She shuts the laptop closed, unable to further stomach her unsatisfied audience with thoughts running rampant in her mind.

Lost..her touch?

Surely these comments were satirical and just baiting her for another video with you, right? I mean, it’s not like she hasn’t gotten hate comments before, though rare for a small homemade creator like herself, but that was besides the point!

it irked her.

Since when has Ellie ever needed anyone for a platform she grew and built, huh? So what if you had given her the best fucking of her life? Genuinely, what about it? It’s not like she goes to sleep with you on her mind, just to awaken the next morning with her pajama bottoms absolutely drenched because she had the most delicious wet dream about you! That’d be crazy..

She rubs her temples a bit to soothe the pounding of her head, she needed a quick fix to this issue and fast! Opening the device back up, she seeks answers.

⌕ [“How do I get horny again without looking at the hot girl who had sex with me’s page?”]

Holding her breath, she types into the search bar. They do say google holds all the answers.

aaaand..nothing.

God, maybe she was dealing with an original experience? 8 Billion people and all useless.

What if you’ve ruined her to the brink of no-return? She can’t even orgasm anymore on her page without watching you, which makes the climaxes lackluster. She can never go back after you’ve given her a taste of the real thing.

That night, she props her laptop up with you pulled up on the screen. You’re wearing a pretty lingerie set, too pretty of one Ellie thinks. It’s the little fancy-pancy one’s you had in your closet that night you graciously let her stay over. Post-nut delirium, but Ellie could still see you liked lace alot, it being the main choice of material inhabiting your wardrobe.

Hot.

Her eyes scower the screen as donations roll in and as per usual, you thank the viewers with a pristine smile, like you didn’t turn Ellie back into a fuckin’ virgin.

She hasn’t been on one of your streams in a while actually, too caught up with work but now, she really remembers why she use to.

You were a guilty pleasure. Addictive, and Ellie didn’t even have a knack for sweets; you just always managed to pollute her head with the most vile of scenarios she could envision recreating with you and fuck, did she hate herself for it— hated herself for becoming so obsessed with someone who only saw her as a collaborater, a co-worker.

She couldn’t complain however, not with the way you manage to talk everyone through it in your streams in a low shaky voice, and especially, not with the way you capture everyones attention with your movements.

and, like a moth to a flame, Ellie finds herself, unaware, cupping her breasts..kneading the flesh like soft dough through her bleach-stained band tee, relapsing back into a place she thought she wouldn’t want to return to; she can’t help the moans that steadily escape her when you let one of your own out, and God, Ellie might really be the worst person because she hasn’t had this good of a masturbation sesh in forever. It’s been feeling so cold and robotic lately with her trying to appease her few followers, but we know how that turned out.

“Ellie’s in the stream?” You whimper out, reading the explosive chat when you slap the silicone toy messily against your puffy clit, swollen under it’s hood but sitting so pretty like an pearl would on its’s oyster, glistening in both your own liquids. “Hi Els..” Your whiney voice calls her out.

Oh God.

Ellie’s eyes roll back abit when she sees your crinkled eyes, lip pulled in between teeth and your flushed cheeks. She practically punches the ‘Co-Host’ request button with her camera off so only her pathetic pants of your name are heard, “H-hi doll..” She hisses out softly, “You l-look so pretty r’now, ah!..’m sorry haven’t been o-on your—mmh!— streams..”

You giggle at this, and the viewer count doubles in amount. Somehow, the stream becomes what seems like a steamy facetime call between two creators, with the rest of the viewers witnessing and prying in on the salacious moment, “‘s okay..just w-wanna hear your noises, Ellie.” It’s like you knew she couldn’t speak to you without a hand busying itself down there..

The girl groans, dropping her camera inbetween her legs to the echoing sounds of squelching and heaven. Though you couldn’t see her in the dark, 2:30 AM lighting of her bedroom she lounges in, you could feel it. She doesn’t even remember the last time she’d secrete this much arousal without the assistance of lube.

“A-ah, me baby? Gosh, ‘jus wanna watch you f’ a sec. Hear me well?”

You nod, eyebrows furrowing and your eyes growing more heavy when you prop your legs up on the gaming chair, displaying your drenched pelvic area— all so messy and for everyone to see. Mainly the broad on the other end of the stream..

You squeal when you curl your fingers into a specifically spongy spot, lips parting and your head thrown back a bit— you’d long ditched the dildo for something a bit more efficient, something to really capture the moment between you. Strands of hair stick to your forehead when an orgasm arises, and you seem a bit upset for cumming too quickly, not when Ellie has just got here!

Prolonging it a bit, you heave and retreat from your digits, rubbing your thighs imaptiently with your sighs stuttering, all while the other girl slaps at her cunt from what you can hear. Painslut

Ellie looks up back at you when she, herself, feels a tight coil in her stomach beginning to loosen, “B-boutta’ cum, dollface. Cmon..put them back on ‘er. Need my girl to do it with me.”

You nod ever so slightly to her voice, though you cannot see her, the raspiness of her voice takes you to a whole other level, “Ellie..” you cry out when your fingers make contact, it seems to be hitting you harder than usual, hypersensitivity of edging yourself all stream. Is it so wrong her green-eyed gaze trains on you intently while you whine and bitch for her?

The muscles in her abdomen tighten when she particularly notices a dumbed out look on you, saliva seeping past your glossy lips and dribbling to the lacy outfit you had on, rubbing her clit as fast as she can, she eggs you on, “Ah! Ah! J-just there w’you..wanna do it ‘wif you.”

Ellie gasps when your legs twitch uncontrollably, and on-cue, as promised, she meets the point with you— biting her knuckle when she spasms through the waves of orgasmic pleasure.

A few moments go past when Ellie picks her phone camera up to see you’d already went past your donation threshold. She can hear your hiccups, hair all messed up and covering your face— sweet baby..

She quickly ends the live-stream for you, a co-host accessible option you’d enabled incase you couldn’t end it from your own screen.

just to run to her bathroom to clean herself up before heading to your place.

Was she invited? No. Was she likely pushing a boundary? Yes, but, was she going to start a ‘no-aftecare’ streak in her entirety of 23 years? Fuck no.

Whether you liked it or not, she was on her way.

super tips with soup #5 - (solo, mostly) playtime!

Hi everyone! Been a while. Here's a request from @ssunshinebabyy - playtime on your own! Here are lots of activities for regressing and playing on your own, and tips for them!

This one took me a long while after it was requested because to be honest, I don't know how to play on my own, especially not how most kiddos might. But that won't stop me, and play looks different for everyone! With that, let's get started!

So... How Do I Play? Part 1: Prelude & Pretend

The truth is, it varies from person to person! But if you want to try a certain mode of play, my recommendation is practice. Despite being very imaginative and a storyteller myself, I struggle with pretend play because I'm playing on my own and usually don't have established characters to bounce off of! But I got myself to swing back into it by goofing around on a screenshare voice call with some friends where I streamed a dollhouse game and we picked characters to represent ourselves and we explored and messed around in there.

Since you're regressing, it's possible that your thought processes and the like aren't the exact same as in the past. You might find that making play more complex comes easier to you than making it up on the fly and simplistic. Try writing down parts of your world's stories if you wanna make up a plotline, or think of something you'd want to do and try to come up with how you could pretend it.

Part 2: Toys?

Continuing on, you don't necessarily need things made as toys to play with toys. It might make it easier to assign a personality to them if you're playing pretend, but you can also do plenty of other things with whatever you have on hand! Square erasers and containers can be used to build, a desk chair can be the driver's seat of your pretend car, and a blanket can be a cloak! It all comes down to creativity when you're figuring out how to make toys out of everyday objects.

Of course, there's also another way to play...

Digital Games

If you're reading this, it's likely that your device that you're on right now can run games! Web browser games exist and so do downloadable games!

For Computers, Sites/Collections:

Flashpoint, a collection of flash games! You'll have to search around by tags or game names to find games suitable for your wants, but it's got just about anything you could want, even more current HTML games. Contains games for all ages, including adult games, so be careful if you want to avoid those.

Coolmathgames, a classic website!

ABCya, which has more educational games than Coolmath (ironically).

Homestar Runner, which has interactive cartoons and games, a whole deep dive's worth. I'm putting it here because I loved it when I was a kid. It built my humor, I swear.

Itch.io has plenty of free games, some of which can be played in browser without downloads, but it's a hosting platform, so it has plenty of other things, not just games, and not just stuff for kids either. Some of these are mobile games, too! Just not many.

JMKit essentially has digital dollhouses and playsets!

For Computers, Specific Games I'd Recommend:

Duck Life series. Raise a duck to race.

Papa's series by Flipline. Make food in a restaurant!

JMKit My Home Makeover. Design a house and play toys!

Any Nick Jr./Noggin, PBS Kids, Disney Jr./Playhouse Disney games on their sites or archived on Flashpoint!

For Mobile Devices, Specific Games:

Pokemon Playhouse, a game where you can play minigames and collect Pokemon. Entirely ad-free!

Cat Tower Nonograms. If you like puzzles and kittycats, this one's good! 2 difficulties available.

Toca World, another freeform dollhouse game like the JMKit ones.

Play Through Tasks!

If all this choice is overwhelming you, what about doing what you need to do? Maybe you have chores or homework or something of the sort to do, and guess what? You can make these things fun!

I like to implement elements of roleplay into my chores, like having to fold my laundry to save the Clothes Kingdom! But that's not the only way to do it! You can listen to music and try to clean to a rhythm if you're tidying! You can turn homework into a challenge or quest!

Guided Play and Dancing

There are plenty of videos online of guided play activities, especially "brain break" videos (ie. GoNoodle) and nursery rhymes. I found the Pokemon Kids TV channel to be really cute and it kinda does Cocomelon stuff to me, I swear... But in any case, it got me opening and closing my hands to their Open Them, Shut Them video.

If you're not the sort for those, what about something a little more grown-up? If you like Vocaloid, you can try dancing along to match the moves of a Project DIVA PV, for example! May I suggest PoPiPo? You can follow along to Just Dance videos, too, if that's more your speed!

Storytime

Depending on your preference, you might want to be read to, read by yourself, or read to someone else! There are plenty of read-along videos on Youtube. Some are even of books that come with tapes, so if you find the book seperately, say, on Internet Archive, you can listen along! I recommend the Internet Archive for finding kids' books in general; they have scans aplenty for all age levels, from picture books to novels!

If you're picking out your own book and you want to make it more fun, why not play Teacher and read to your toys for storytime, or just read to one toy for their bedtime story? (I won't tell anyone if you fall asleep, too...)

Freeform Play

Of course, these aren't the only ways to play, and neither is anything else! Everyone has their own ways of playing. Maybe drawing pictures or writing stories is how you play. Maybe you just play by holding things and chewing on them. Maybe you want to play by matching cards! You can play in so many ways, and as long as it's not meant to hurt anyone and it isn't dangerous, I say go for it!

If you want any specific tips for a type of play you want to go about, feel free to comment and ask for help! I'm happy to!

That's All!

Phew! It's been ages since my last Super Tips, huh? I hope this one was a good time! Any questions, comments, or suggestions for the next one? Drop a comment or an ask, and I'd love to consider it!

Happy to be writing again!

Yours truly,

Jade/Soup/@soopiroth

it’s that time of the year again, it’s

Switch’s List of Halloween Games

games on this list are all 10+ years old, mostly on the more obscure or niche side, and if they’re not outright horror games they have a tone or theme appropriate for the season. because of their age, many have not been re-released, but if you know what you're doing that won't stop you. obligatory disclaimer to check content warnings for all of these games if interested. screenshots distributed randomly as i didn't want this post to be any longer than it already is.

The Residents' Bad Day on the Midway (1995)

a rather free-form black comedy point-and-click game set in a creepy carnival. you can freely swap between any characters that show up onscreen, read their stream of consciousness, and get different endings (or die) with each of them. this game makes full use of the setting, storytelling format, and uniquely repulsive art style established in The Residents' Freak Show, but now with more game to actually play, including minor puzzle-solving, even if a lot of it is optional. the game runs on a relatively short timer, and is intended for multiple quick replays.

The Dark Eye (1995)

The Dark Eye comes from our old friends at Inscape (who also made Bad Day up there and the infamous Drowned God), and is best known for using grotesque-looking stop-motion clay figures for its cutscenes. it’s a point-and-click adventure game that plays through multiple nightmarish Edgar Allan Poe stories across a single framing plot. the game can be a bit obtuse mechanically to play, but is another strong pick if you want a more artistic, psychological, less cheesy tone (and paint thinner that destroys your bones) than some of these other games.

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (1995)

one of the best point-and-click adventure games out there from a narrative and character standpoint, and a fantastic adaptation and expansion of the original story. the psychodrama device is something i’m a big fan of and they make full use of it. actual mechanics or methods of getting certain endings can be rather obtuse, but if you're familiar with this genre it’s par for the course, and it's such a worthwhile and cathartic experience. very strong voice acting performances all around in a genre that tends to be associated with the opposite of that. either way, I consider this one a must-play game in the genre whether you've already read the original short story or not.

GARAGE: Bad Dream Adventure (1999/2021)

a Japanese point-and-click psychological horror adventure game with a storied history, formerly widely inaccessible until 2014. GARAGE has been re-released in English on modern platforms by its original developer, something i'm very grateful for, and with new endings. GARAGE has an art style like nothing else I've ever seen before or since, with 90's 3D graphics depicting claustrophobic industrial spaces and alien-looking biomechanical characters that can be deeply uncomfortable to even look at, while the game challenges you to look past that surface. it also features some resource management and a fishing minigame! fascinating, genuine, hard to swallow, and a very strong recommendation.

Sanitarium (1998)

another very strong entry in the point-and-click adventure game genre, and it’s an isometric one this time. its puzzle design in particular is well-regarded for the genre, and its absence of any kind of game-over/softlock system unlike its more punishing genre cousins, as it really does want you to experience its whole narrative (although, it can be prone to crashing or breaking progression. save often). each level is highly and uniquely themed, though the tone is consistently more surreal than horror. the overarching story is much more cohesive and heartfelt than the initial apparent premise and setting might make you suspect.

CarnEvil (1998)

a classic, darkly comedic on-rails Arcade light gun shooter. CarnEvil is just a blast to play, set in a variety of attractions in a demonic undead carnival, with responsive gun controls, an adaptive goring system, and highly memorable enemy variety and scripted set-pieces all absolutely full of personality, all backed by fantastic sound design. power ups are dubiously balanced and the difficulty, while not blatantly unfair, becomes roughly what you’d expect for a game made to eat quarters, but you’d be playing this on an emulator, so that’s only a factor for self-imposed challenges. comes built-in with a menu to disable or enable things like various gore settings or tone down the appearance of certain enemies to your preference level. whether you’ve played a lot of arcade shooters or want to give the genre a shot, you can’t go wrong with CarnEvil. never a dull moment in this game.

Illbleed (2001)

a campy, unconventional, third-person survival horror Dreamcast entry that's gained somewhat of a cult following, you may primarily know it as "that game with the demonic sonic the hedgehog boss in it." another game set in an evil theme park, with attractions based on horror movies, but all of which feature fun and surprising spins on their premises and mechanical shakeups suited to each level. the mall and woodpuppets are my personal favorites. multiple playable characters with their own strengths and weaknesses, and NG+. the game can have a bit of a steep learning curve and somewhat obtuse mechanics, and you'll certainly want to read a guidebook (lest you commit the mistake every youtuber who plays this game ever makes and miss the horror monitor entirely), but it's quite generous with providing funds to access items and upgrades once you're past that. the unique, meticulous gameplay style of managing your stats and sweeping for traps inbetween high-risk combat encounters has been both praised and criticized.

Harvester (1996)

it's Harvester. you might have heard of it. a shocking, gory, cheesy black comedy horror point-and-click adventure game. the game infamously utterly falls apart in both mechanically and narratively its final third, but there really just is nothing else out there like the first two-thirds of Harvester, and i think that alone makes it worth playing at least once if you have the stomach for it. i’m tempted to call it a classic, but i’m still not fully sure how to regard this game. Harvester is Harvester.

Shivers (1995)

a Myst-like that surpasses all other Myst-likes, if you ask me. Shivers added just enough QoL improvements and just enough tension to the formula to be enjoyable by both people who normally like Myst games and people who might normally not. features an auto-memory for puzzle hints and the possibility of death without ever being unfair. limited item management is the main thing still applying here. light use of FMV. the varied museum settings, rich use of colors and shadows, strong soundscapes, audio cues, and fun voice performance by the recurring narrator really makes the whole thing memorable. spooky in a fun way.

The 7th Guest (1993)

Myst's CD ROM drive selling cousin, you probably won't get more pure Halloween-y than with this game's theming, haunted mansion setting, and use of FMV. the game can be a bit incoherent at times, and it's a point-and-click adventure puzzle game with heavy emphasis on its relatively challenging puzzles, which is either a good or bad thing depending on what you want. features a very fun soundtrack and fun story.

(as an aside, i've also heard the VR remake is good. haven't played it myself, but its use of FMV actors in VR is certainly praise-worthy when Myst ended up dropping that particular ball.)

Phantasmagoria (1995)

while i've never personally been a fan of this one, Phantasmagoria was objectively a landmark entry in point-and-click adventure games, in horror games, in FMV games, and in Sierra On-Line's/Roberta Williams' whole catalog. in terms of its genre, it's actually on the approachable end in terms of puzzle difficulty! it's known for its extremely over-the-top gore and violence, but it takes itself more seriously than the likes of Harvester, or it at least tries to. if you're someone who can enjoy a messy, gross, gory horror movie, you might enjoy Phantasmagoria. i can certainly respect its use of practical effects...

even people who like this game don't tend to like Phantasmagoria 2, though.

The Path (2009)

a full-on walking simulator art game that tells an overarching Red Riding Hood-themed story with almost no dialogue. multiple characters and endings to go through, and lots of collectibles, some of which do things and some don't. if you just don't like walking sims it's unlikely this would do it for you, but if you're someone who does enjoy a good walking sim, this is a classic entry. the forest is a beautiful setting to explore and the soundtrack sells the uncomfortable and somber tone well.

American McGee's Alice + Alice Madness Returns (2000/2011)

action-adventure platformers. american mcgee's alice features fantastic setpieces and level design, responsive controls yet somewhat slippery platforming, an arsenal of highly unbalanced but fun weapons, good enemy variety, a fantastic soundtrack, and a high level of challenge. alice madness returns heavily tones down the challenge and former emphasis on weapons, enemy variety, and boss battles in exchange for highly responsive platforming, a rewarding collectible system, and a deeply cathartic story. they're both games i repeatedly come back to for their own reasons. i'd recommend getting the original version of AMA and not the 2011 re-release if you can help it, but it's not a dealbreaker.

The Colonel's Bequest (1989)

another Roberta Williams classic, it's a charming and detailed murder mystery graphic adventure game that has an emphasis on discovery and characters more than puzzles. the game is split across multiple acts with various characters on schedules, and is full of conversations to eavesdrop on, clues to find, and notebook entries to fill out, or not find. there's multiple endings and multiple ways to die, and you can complete the game even with varying levels of overall notebook completion. it’s a game designed for replays, and it’s still arguably one of the most well-made and most complete games of its kind out there. it's got a good sequel in 1992's Dagger of Amon Ra, which isn't on this list purely for not feeling very Halloweeny.

you can play this one in-browser through archive org! just look for the manual for both the game and the emulator to make sure everything runs smoothly and that you don't get walled by the copy protection...

Honorable Mentions:

Troubled Souls (1994, Classic Mac OS)

troubled souls is, admittedly, ‘just’ a little ol pipe-style puzzle game, no story here like the others. yknow, it’s like pipe mania. but, it’s a highly themed, creepy-looking pipe game. plus, it's got an absolutely killer BGM loop. if you’re ever gonna play any time-killing dedicated puzzle games this October, it may as well include some Troubled Souls.

Pathologic Classic HD (2005/2015)

It's Pathologic. you've almost certainly heard of it. i hesitantly dropped Patho down to honorable mention just because it's exploded so much in popularity these past couple years compared to the others on this list, but i'm recommending Classic HD specifically because i think a lot of people these days might only play 2, but i can't overstate what a wonderful and all-around complete package Classic is. it's a challenging survival game, but i don't find it the unwinnable, hyper-obtuse, archaic, anti-game it gets hyped as. the ebb and flow of its VN-influenced storytelling format and slower, meticulous, moment-to-moment gameplay that will then spike into being utterly frantic just often enough is highly engaging, as is its stat management. look, you can use a walkthrough/hint guide if you want to not get locked out of an ending, it's fine.

Shivers 2 (1997)

another game i'm personally not a fan of, but it's well-loved by the people who do like it. it's really Shivers in name only, but it preserves the improvements made to the Myst-like formula, so you can't go wrong if you enjoy a good Myst-like. i also can't deny that the game's rock music theme, desert setting, and overall presentation has its charm.

Dark Seed (1992)

another point-and-click puzzle adventure game, most noted for its H.R. giger designs, though its tone is ultimately less horror and more subdued and genre-conventional quirky than that initial selling point might have you think. the game runs on a persistent timer, and both the puzzles and click areas can be difficult to parse, making for a game that isn't interested in not being dated and induces tension more through frustration than through actually being horror, and it doesn't do much that any of its numerous genre cousins don't do better. still, an interesting if dated game that one can get a kick out of, at least once. there's not much i can say about this one that Majuular hasn't already explained better.

Dark Seed 2 (1995)

this will explain everything.

The 11th Hour (1995)

The 7th Guest's very bad, no good, utterly tonally inexplicable, terrible sequel. only worth playing if you want to see even more cheesy FMV, more mansion, or more Stauf.

Zombieville (1997, EU)

an overly-ambitious oddball point-and-click action-ish-adventure game that went through development hell. most notable for its system wherein characters (including yourself) can turn into zombies, using the rare 'return of the living dead'-style of intelligent zombies, and also for featuring Greg Proops in one of his only video game VA roles, ever. massive disclaimer that the game is extremely buggy, unpredictable, and unfinished in many areas, even if it is possible to reach its (thematically strange...) ending with a guide. an interesting time capsule of missed potential, but unlikely to be enjoyed in any capacity unless you have a very specific kind of technical or genre curiosity.

It’s possible you’ve already answered this, so sorry if you have.

Why do you link Spotify, Bandcamp, and Youtube and not Apple Music?

No hate, just curious

Hello! So in truth, I have never really used Apple Music, and this definitely means I gave it less consideration when deciding what websites to link. I have also double-checked the Apple Music restrictions, and it's my understanding that it's primarily used by people who fall into both of the two categories: 1) those who use an Apple device as their primary listening device and 2) those who pay for an Apple Music subscription. While this intersection does somehow contain a large market share, the fact that it's so much more restrictive does make it less accessible than our other options.

Spotify: The leading music streaming service with the greatest market share. Even though the free option is somewhat restrictive, the desktop version is less so than the mobile version. It's likely a lot of music will be on Spotify and a lot of the people who interact with our posts will use Spotify.

Bandcamp: Not a streaming service, but we do want people to be able to support artists (assuming of course they've done any necessary research to make sure the artist is someone they want to support), and linking Bandcamp is the best way to make that option accessible. People also may not be aware that some artists/albums are even on Bandcamp.

YouTube: While YouTube Music exists as a streaming service, we're technically not using it. YouTube in and of itself is the most widely used and most accessible platform. You don't need to make an account, you don't need to pay money, and when official uploads (usually directly from the artist or cross over from the YouTube Music platform) don't exist, we can usually find the album uploaded in some form or another.

To summarize: Spotify is the largest streaming service, Bandcamp allows you to support artists, directly in most cases, and YouTube will usually have the album if other platforms don't and does not in general impede people from accessing said album.

So, each link serves a different, non-duplicative function, and Apple Music falls under the same category as Spotify as a streaming platform.

As a final end note: We do occasionally add Apple Music or SoundCloud or even other platforms if the album simply isn't available in all or most of our defaults, but that primarily serves the purpose of finding at least somewhere for people to listen to the album. Apple Music can best stand in for Spotify, alongside Deezer or Tidal, while SoundCloud is a better substitute for Bandcamp.

If you had battery-related performance issues on an older iPhone—and you got in on a class-action lawsuit against Apple six years ago—you could soon receive some payback for your trouble.

According to a statement released by the law office involved in the suit against Apple, the tech giant will soon have to pay out up to $500 million to customers affected by its throttling of iPhones that had older batteries. The so-called Batterygate scandal affected people using iPhones in the 6, 6S, and 7 families, as well as the original SE model, and stems from complaints from users that Apple purposely slowed down the devices after they installed software updates. Apple hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing, instead positing that its practice of deliberately slowing down its phones wasn’t a technique to get people to buy a newer device but rather a safety measure to keep the phones from shutting down when the battery got too low.

The checks will be doled out to the roughly 3 million people who filed claims for the lawsuit, which works out to somewhere between $65 and $90 per person. It’s too late to make a claim now—the deadline to join the suit passed in October 2020.

Here’s some more news about the stuff on your phone.

Premium Prime 

Bad streaming music news for anyone who’s somehow not on Spotify or Apple Music: Amazon’s music streaming service is getting more expensive.

The price hike from $9 to $10 was revealed by a FAQ page on Amazon’s Music site, spotted by The Hollywood Reporter. The increase is relatively small and will apply to Amazon Prime members with Unlimited Music plans and family plans. But it’s part of a trend of streaming services putting the squeeze on their customers. The cost of a Spotify Premium subscription went up by a buck last month after 12 years without an increase. Hulu and Disney+ are getting more expensive later this year. Netflix has cracked down on password sharing and introduced a paid ad-supported tier. And don't forget that HBO Max removed gobs of content from its platform. Amazon Music doesn’t seem to be ditching any of its songs quite yet—or banning password sharing—but clearly the Amazonian overlords want to squeeze a little more out of the platform.

Muting TikTok

A recent Reuters poll shows that nearly half of Americans approve of the US banning the social media app TikTok. (Disclosure: Yes, WIRED is on TikTok.)

US lawmakers have been talking about tanking TikTok for years now, citing concerns that the app’s Chinese parent company ByteDance could share Americans’ user data with the Chinese government or that the app could serve as a software backdoor for Chinese spyware. Pundits and members of Congress have posited the TikTok ban as a push to protect privacy, even though the issue is more due to international tensions between the US and China. (Cue the I Think You Should Leave “you sure about that?” clip.)

The process of actually banning the app from US soil would be laborious and controversial. Montana is going to give it a shot in 2024, when its recently passed TikTok ban goes into effect. Enforcing a ban will be nigh impossible, since users could likely circumvent the rules by using a VPN to make it appear that they are in another location or by simply downloading the app while they are traveling to another state.

Stay Cool

It’s getting hotter here on planet Earth. Heat waves intensify, oceans warm, and wildfires worsen. And all the while, humans—and everything else living on the planet—pay the price. Human influence has undeniably altered the weather of the world, and as we hurtle along in a climate emergency, it’s only going to grow hotter and more unstable.

This week on the Gadget Lab podcast, WIRED’s resident doomsday reporter, Matt Simon, joins the show to talk about extreme heat, why it keeps getting warmer, and how we might be able to adapt.

[olivers-cocoapuffs]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It is 21:52 and if I do not get sleep soon I will just straight up pass out within the next fifteen minutes.

So, moving on, I'm reading this book called Looking Glass by Christina Henry. It's four short stories set in a world I've already gotten into with two other books (Alice and Red Queen). Anyway, in the (I think?) second story, Alice says how in conversations people usually do not listen but just wait for their turn in conversation. Specifically, she says that Hatcher (Axe-murderer boyfriend) is not like this and that is one of the many reasons why he is different or something.

In any case, I can't stop thinking about it. Says something about vanity in the human race.

Okay 21:59 now, I'll move onto the question because I need to pack my school bag and my deadline fifteen minute is almost up

I want to ask you something a bit complicated:

I have this friend (Note: I am using the term loosely). We'll call him Noah, for the time being. Noah is, in simple terms, a headcase. I truly believe he lost all his sense in the great crash of 1967. Or maybe he never had any to begin with. That actually may have cause the crash-

You know what? Some rabbit holes and not worth going down.

Anyway, Noah is, in even simpler terms, insane.

This guy (Note: I use this term loosely) is expressing interest in watching his first crime show. Blood and guts and gore, murders. Serial killers. Child abduction.

And, you see, he has a tendency to ignore those "Don't try this at home, kids!" warnings. I'm going to need you to help me come up with a way to ward him off it.

Seriously, I don't want to be responsible for putting another serial killer out there. We've got enough of them.

Okay 22:08. Could be worse. That's what... 16 minutes for my work of fiction? Also, I feel sleep pressing in on me from all sides. Wait for me not to be able to sleep now lmao

Have an extraordinary day

hi :)

that’d probably be wise. I have to spend a few hours in our half empty newish house to wait for my kindle to be delivered (long story that makes me wanna cry)

oh interesting. I’m pretty sure the author was high while writing the og book, at least that’s what I’ve heard.

Noah sounds interesting, I will admit. I’m curious as to what the Great Crash was.

he sounds like a basket case and needs a good therapist. My solution is to take the batteries out of the tv remote and log any other devices out of streaming platforms (or change the passwords to something he can’t guess)

I can’t do maths in the morning. Or at all, really

GOODNIGHT 🫶🏼🫶🏼

The Technical Side of Kiosk Fabrication You Didn’t Know

Behind the Scenes: The Technical Side of Kiosk Fabrication You Didn’t Know

When we think of kiosks, we often imagine sleek, interactive displays in retail stores, trade shows, or exhibitions. While the design is typically the first thing that catches our eye, the technical side of kiosk fabrication is what makes these engaging, functional units work seamlessly. From the underlying technology to the materials used, a lot goes into creating a kiosk that delivers on both form and function.

In the heart of Dubai’s bustling exhibition scene, exhibition companies in Dubai like Orange Fairs & Events bring innovative kiosk designs to life by combining cutting-edge technology with expert craftsmanship. So, let’s take a look behind the scenes at the technical aspects of kiosk fabrication—elements that many people don’t realize go into creating these powerful interactive devices.

1. The Importance of Hardware Selection

The first step in kiosk fabrication involves selecting the right hardware. The hardware forms the foundation of the kiosk, and its performance directly impacts the functionality of the kiosk. When designing kiosks for retail spaces or exhibitions, it's crucial to consider the type of interaction the kiosk will have with users.

For example, touchscreens are an integral part of most kiosks today. Choosing the right type of screen is crucial; touch technology can range from resistive to capacitive, each offering different sensitivities and user experiences. Some kiosks may require robust screens that can endure constant interaction, while others may need high-definition displays to deliver detailed, vivid visuals.

For exhibition companies in Dubai such as Orange Fairs & Events, hardware selection is an art—choosing the ideal components that are durable, interactive, and capable of delivering the desired user experience. This includes choosing the right processors, memory, and connectivity options that ensure the kiosk operates without any hitches during exhibitions or events.

2. Software Integration: Bringing the Kiosk to Life

Behind every custom kiosk is the software that powers it. It’s not enough for the kiosk to just display a static image or a simple interface; it must engage users, gather data, and possibly integrate with external databases or systems.

The software behind kiosks often includes customized applications that allow users to interact with the content on the screen. Whether it's for checking product availability, placing orders, or finding more information about a service, the software determines how easy and intuitive the user experience is.

For exhibition companies in UAE, the software integration must be tailored to the event or retail environment. If the kiosk is part of an exhibition display stand, it may need to work seamlessly with other displays or digital elements at the event. The exhibition display stands often feature dynamic content, requiring a sophisticated backend system to manage different data streams and visual content in real time. Orange Fairs & Events works with top software developers to create kiosks that are not just interactive but are also capable of syncing with the overall event or store environment.

3. Connectivity and Networking Capabilities

Another key technical component of kiosk fabrication is ensuring connectivity. Today’s kiosks are often linked to other systems or platforms—whether they need to access real-time inventory data, connect to payment systems, or gather customer feedback.

A kiosk at an exhibition stand, for instance, may need to be connected to a central server where live event data is stored. Or, in a retail scenario, it may need to link with the company’s point-of-sale (POS) system to complete purchases or check stock.

The reliability of the kiosk’s internet connection and network security is essential, as any glitches can interrupt the customer experience. Exhibition companies in Dubai, like Orange Fairs & Events, ensure that kiosks are equipped with advanced connectivity features, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even wired options for a secure, stable connection in high-traffic exhibition environments.

4. Material Choices and Durability

The physical materials used in kiosk fabrication aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re critical to the durability and longevity of the kiosk. Kiosks need to withstand heavy foot traffic, potentially harsh environments, and constant use.

At the same time, the materials used must be visually appealing, blending seamlessly with the design of the retail space or exhibition stand. A well-crafted kiosk should feel like a part of the larger environment rather than an afterthought.

When fabricating kiosks, exhibition stand manufacturers in Dubai often choose materials like high-grade steel, aluminum, or composite plastics that offer both strength and flexibility. The exterior finish can range from sleek, polished surfaces to matte textures, and sometimes even a more rugged, industrial look, depending on the brand’s identity. Orange Fairs & Events carefully selects materials that are both durable and stylish, ensuring the kiosks are as resilient as they are functional.

5. User Interface (UI) Design for Optimal Experience

The user interface (UI) is an integral part of kiosk fabrication. This is the design layer that customers directly interact with. Whether it's a touchscreen or a physical button, the UI must be intuitive, user-friendly, and visually appealing.

The design of the UI can vary depending on the purpose of the kiosk. For instance, a kiosk at an exhibition stand may feature large, easy-to-read fonts and vibrant, high-quality images to attract attention from across the room. In contrast, retail kiosks often focus on simplicity and speed, with streamlined navigation that allows customers to find what they need in seconds.

Exhibition stand designers in Dubai have to consider both the physical design of the kiosk and the UI experience. A great UI can make all the difference between a successful and frustrating kiosk experience. Orange Fairs & Events works closely with clients to create UI designs that not only serve their functional purpose but also align with the brand’s overall theme and design aesthetic.

6. Testing and Quality Control

Once the kiosk has been fabricated and the hardware and software are integrated, it’s time for testing. Testing is a crucial part of the fabrication process, as it ensures everything functions properly before the kiosk is put into use.

Exhibition companies in Dubai like Orange Fairs & Events conduct thorough testing to ensure that every aspect of the kiosk—from touch sensitivity to connectivity and data handling—functions as expected. This quality control process minimizes the risk of glitches during exhibitions and ensures a seamless user experience when the kiosk is deployed in retail spaces.

The technical side of kiosk fabrication involves many intricate details—each contributing to the kiosk’s functionality, durability, and user experience. From hardware selection to software integration, exhibition stand manufacturers Dubai like Orange Fairs & Events are setting the standard for creating custom kiosks that not only look great but also deliver outstanding performance. Whether you’re setting up a kiosk for a retail space or an exhibition stand, understanding the technical elements behind kiosk fabrication is key to ensuring success.
