Sounds like you will be absolutely fine so long as you keep it with you at all times :laugh:

I'd forgotten about the end of the world until now, its the missus' birthday tomorrow too so don't be surprised if the end of the world is delayed until Saturday ;)

Is it going to be in GMT? Who's time is it going to be in so I can set my alarm?

It will occur at the stroke of midnight in each timezone, so if you want to live longer, move to the country that is the furthest behind and watch all the other countries exploding one by one until it reaches you ;)

I'm just going to keep setting my phone to the previous day, that should stave off the end of the world :p

I think I'll just set my phone rather then running from country to country.

Well that's sort of the point. People think that 21st December will be the end of the world because this is when the Mayan Calendar stops. What people choose to ignore is that the Mayans had three separate calendars, and the calendar that has people scared (the long count calendar) is actually just finishing a cycle in the same way that our Gregorian calendar finishes a cycle once a year. There is no mention of the end of the long count calendar's cycle being the end of the world.

Infomation about the Mayan Calendar.

Like Intrinsica said and then they have all sort of scenarios, for example a polar shift, which scientists have said by the way is impossible according to the layout of the continents. Oh and some say that some long lost planet will collide with the earth and then there are solar flares and so on so on!

Why 11:11PM ?

Surely 12:12am or 12:21am would be better, or 21:12

my thoughts exactly

or even 12:00 for the end of the calendar or something (or would that be 00:00)

Don't know about end of the world, but I am so taking a picture of the clock at 21/12 21:12 lol

also did it at 12/12/12 12:12 because Im sad

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
