Tech & Games

As a busy mother of two energetic children, it wasn't until recently that I began to question my oldest son's habit of unlimited youtube time and I became vigilant about monitoring his internet use. Initially, he would sneak onto his iPad, computer, and television for unlimited streaming of youtube videos. After I learned he can snooze the downtime limit I set for him on his device through Apple’s Parental Controls built into its phones, I deleted the youtube itself. Now He manages to watch through web browsers. I did not know that safari does not keep time stamps on history until recently one day, when I was trying to figure out when exactly my son started watching youtube as we have a two hours rule in place. But as a budding tech buff, he tries multiple ways to mess with the timelines when I am very busy and I am unable to keep a tab on his screen time.  So I was busy that day and did not check when he started , I have already deleted the app from his iPad and he is only all...

 

No more funking the minecraft worlds Hail Mojang ! I am in total awe how mojang shooed the NFT people away from their block worlds after they have spent months building crypto economy on top of gaming worlds of minecraft.  Platforms like Enjin   and coincheck were almost ready to take over the Minecraft cryptocurrency tokens.But they were stopped in their tracks. Well who stopped them,The mojang people , and why because blockchain tech is somewhat  unstable right now and it might create a world of have and havenots. I think they meant they do not want minecraft loosing a great deal of opportunities themselves. they might venture into it through their own crypto set of tools and coins. if In their company blog they also said it goes against their policy of all-inclusive game. They do not support scarcity and exclusion which will be induced by the concept of buying amd selling digital assets. I agree to their point and I appreciate their vision but I also see a glitch which...

  coming soon…. I wished to be an organ donor . For long time I have struggled to choose from being full donor for medical research or to be just some organ donor like eye or heart. Before I could decide on that, just with a click of a button in digital world i have already became a non fungible token. Guess thats the main difference between human complex emotional processing of thoughts vs intelligence which is algorithmic and written behind a click button.

  When i came to know about minecraft i instantly became  an addict. My son introduced the game to me. I remember we used to watch stampy longheads video without knowing anything about minecraft. Following year We were playing it,singing it, sometimes the line become too blur between real world and minecraft world. We have played so many stories together. I cherish those moments. Thats why i decided to put all of them in writing.  Minecraft has helped a lot in bonding with my son. Minecraft was our breakfast, lunch, and dinner conversation.  I remember while dressing up my first grader for the school, I used to play Minecraft songs for him. "Don't mine at night " is my all-time favorite. I love that song, if you have watched the video, all that inventory falling when the player dies brings in a very familiar kind of feeling inside your tummy.  Click here to listen to the song. It's not mine.  Don't Mine at night Once he killed my pet sheep and when he reali...

If there was ever an electronic device with a screen, there was Tetris on it. That's how I stumbled upon this epic game. It was on my computer OS and I played it every day after college. I was also dating a guy at that time but only Tetris kept me hooked forever.  Also video games, anything internet and technical was my first love. When I was doing my graduation I fell asleep on Tetris and not on a similar sounding word starting with p and ending with s. Tetris eased the pains of data structure algorithms. First in first out, last in last out. In my dreams, the irregular blocks of Tetris used to fall on my head with their amazing sound effect. Later on, I found out it's actually called the Tetris effect. So far Many scientific research papers have been written on the Tetris effect and its cool impact on our human brain. But We can only accept the fact that few special minds want to arrange blocks more than anything else. (A self-proclaimed special attribute ) If anyone is inter...

There is nothing fun like luring some noob friends or your mom into caves of minecraft and looting their inventory after they are dead. you know it just means they leave the world to respawn again. Here is the tiny miny list of fun pranks for your noob friends. 1. Dig  down straight just for fun.  Dont tell them why you shouldnt . To up the fun put lava on the way down before they start digging. 2 . Tell them you can find diamond for them. Then spawn /hide some monster fish around that level - you know which one.  3. Get  them digging gravel or sand in mines and ultimately let them suffocate in gravel.  Happy Digging  Happy making friends Playing Online is Okay. Be safe
