I talk tech that matters to the end users.

BREAKING NEWS

What do you notice in the background in the latest released GTA VI vehicle mod shops 👀

Quake!

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

There are a few things that I look back on as my mistakes in the early days.

Quake was overly ambitious technically. We could have done all the great multiplayer and modding work inside a Doom++ engine, allowing the designers to work with a more stable base instead of rug-pulling everything out from underneath them a couple times. The follow up game could have then brought in full 6DOF environments and characters.

I pushed everyone too hard. I didn’t appreciate how maturing companies need more slack, and that running people at startup intensity constantly will wear them out. Quake was also where I really had to accept my personal limits. I was working pretty much as hard as humanly possible, and I was still slipping past my goal points.

On all of the founders’ shoulders, our original corporate stock arrangement and buy/sell agreement was a mistake, and resulted in bad incentives. We wanted to ensure that all ownership rested in the hands of people working hard on current projects, but the Silicon Valley standard approach of vesting stock would have worked out better.

One real problem that I don’t accept the blame for is that we were insisting that level designers be not just game designers, but also have strong visual design esthetics. They needed to make things that not only played well, but looked awesome, and it got more challenging as the technology provided a richer palette. Romero covered that well, which set our company expectations early on.

We should have figured out how to pair up artists and designers earlier, but there was infighting among the designers, and the ones that could manage the visuals were happy to disparage the ones that couldn’t.

Sorry, Sandy.

@LockedInLucas Maybe they have RDR2 mechanics in place. Come back later and there is a new structure with a mission waiting for you.

wow... PlayStation app logo on App Store and Play Store updated with GTA 6 theme colors

[Gaurav B @GauravWriting]

Why not send GTA 6 activation codes via email? Because Rockstar wants to preserve tradition, I guess.

GTA 6 preorders begin soon... what do you think would be the price?

Finally, it's here. #WiserAI (beta) is here. Test and tell.

[Techwiser @TechWiser]

It's TIME!
After 1 year of working on this, #WiserAi is officially moving into its first Public Beta.

We are looking for exactly 100 beta tech-heads to stress-test it, break it, and help us fine-tune its real-world human logic. We are using AI to recommend tech exactly like TechWiser.

Here's how it works

1. Tell us your smartphone preferences
2. Our AI analyses the market
3. Get top recommended phones

Form closes when we hit 100. Link below. 👇👇

[Techwiser @TechWiser]

Something big is coming. We kept Quiet.
Now it’s ready.
Stay tuned....

@coinbase It directly asks for my SSN, but I don't live in the USA.

[Rakesh @GyanTherapy]

It's Shameful For the whole Tech Industry - A Negative PR against a tech creator !
I never thought I’d see the day when money would be spent not on improving a product but on trying to damage a creator’s reputation.

They tried multiple ways to get promotional coverage from me. I declined because I had trust concerns & many people already know that. I simply did my job honestly & shared what I found.

If the brand disagreed, that’s their choice.

But now I am seeing coordinated attempts to push a false narrative around Gyan Therapy along with multiple posts targeting me personally.

Honestly I have one question ?
What exactly do you gain from this?

People know me because of my work, not because of any manufactured narrative. Reputation built over years cannot be erased by a few sponsored attacks.

What disappoints me the most is seeing personal attacks extend beyond me and even include my family. That is a line that should never be crossed.

If someone believes this pressure, negativity or character assassination will make me stop speaking honestly - they are mistaken.
I have always tried to do my work with integrity and I will continue to do so.

[Techwiser @TechWiser]

A line has been crossed in the tech ecosystem. True reputation is built on years of research and consumer trust, not on sponsored trends or temporary campaigns.

[Gaurav B @GauravWriting]

@TechWiser At the end of the day, tech creators have nothing without honest, user-first reviews. Standing our ground on this isn't just a choice; it sets the standard for how everyone deserves to be treated.

[Techwiser @TechWiser]

Thanks for all the SUPPORT!

[TrakinTech @TrakinTech]

Stay strong @techwiser and Techbar (@ShokeenSanchit).

Hope honest tech journalism and fair criticism continue to exist in India.

[Gaurav B @GauravWriting]

@TechWiser It’s sad day for Indian tech YouTube. First TechWiser, now @GyanTherapy is also taken down by court order. https://t.co/L8DQYq5OV8

When creators who have spent years building trust are forced to take down videos for simply doing their job, the consumer loses.

[Techwiser @TechWiser]

It might have come to your attention that a recent Ai+ video is no longer live on the channel.

We are currently dealing with a legal discourse prompting this action. While we cannot discuss or reveal the specifics of the case as the same is sub-judice before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi. However, what can be emphasized upon is that there is a much larger issue at stake here –

The Trust in YouTube review(s).

For over a decade, Techwiser has been built upon a foundation of aiding and helping you learn, discover and decipher technology and consumer tech products. Techwiser has tirelessly created content and has always endeavored to share critical observations with utmost honesty backed with deep research and has time and again ensured that our content is fair and within lawful free speech limits.

We, at Techwiser, believe that a company should not be permitted to use legal action by presenting a convenient, self-serving and inaccurate set of facts and narrative for silencing a critical opinion done in good faith.

We are working with our legal team to defend a fair, honest and bonafide review. We aren’t just fighting for one video; we are fighting to ensure that your trust in YouTube video continues and lives on.

To our community: thank you for your incredible and unwavering support.

The Mission doesn’t change. Stay Wise.
