Why Are Social Games Are More Than Just Playing: The Community Impact

Hello again! :D I hope everyone is doing well <3

Online gaming communities play a vital role in the digital age, transforming gaming from an individual pastime into a shared social activity. With improved technology and widespread internet access, players can interact, connect, and work together with like-minded gamers. This evolution has reshaped social interactions and strengthened connections within the gaming world.

What is Social Gaming? 👩🏻‍💻

A brief explanation of what social gaming is :)

Social gaming refers to online games that are designed to be played with or against other people, often through social networks, online communities, or mobile apps. Unlike traditional single-player games, social games encourage interaction among players, promoting social connections, collaboration, and competition. These games are typically more casual and accessible, allowing people of various skill levels to participate and enjoy the experience together.

It is also important to note that social media has played a pivotal role in shaping social gaming in recent years, transforming gaming into a more community-centered and interactive experience.

Gamers have various reasons for playing. A 2023 report from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) highlights that some of the main motivations include having fun, passing the time, and relieving stress. Regardless of their reasons, many gamers are able to experience the benefits of gaming.

The Cultural Impact of Gaming 🕹️

Gaming has evolved significantly from its beginnings and has had a major influence on our culture. It’s no longer just a pastime; it’s become a way of life, shaping music, fashion, and even communication. Gaming has developed its own unique language, complete with specific terms and slang.

One of the greatest cultural impacts of gaming is its ability to unite people. It has enabled individuals from around the world to connect and interact, creating a space for communities to form and share experiences. Online gaming allows players to meet and play with others from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and countries, breaking down barriers and fostering understanding between people who may never have crossed paths otherwise.

Gaming has also influenced the entertainment industry, becoming a major source of entertainment that competes with movies and TV shows in both popularity and revenue. The gaming industry is now worth billions, with titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 each earning over a billion dollars in sales. Additionally, gaming has grown into a popular spectator sport, with esports tournaments drawing millions of viewers globally.

One of the most profound effects gaming has had on our culture is its ability to spark creativity and innovation. It has nurtured some of the world’s most inventive minds, with many game developers later becoming entrepreneurs and founding companies that have transformed industries. Gaming has also driven the development of new technologies and inventions, such as virtual reality headsets and motion-sensing controllers.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic 😷

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, social interaction was restricted by government mandates and business closures, including schools, workplaces, restaurants, and gyms. The stay-at-home orders that followed significantly reduced opportunities for in-person interactions.

The restriction on in-person interactions had significant societal effects. Social interaction and support are crucial for positive emotional well-being, while isolation and loneliness can negatively impact mental health.

During the period of social distancing, online social gaming became a safe and accessible source of entertainment and interaction.

The Positive Impacts of Social Media on Community-Building in Gaming 💆🏻‍♀️

Social media has brought significant improvements to the gaming industry, offering players a platform to connect and form communities. Social media allows players to share their gaming experiences and connect with others worldwide, fostering a sense of inclusivity and belonging within the gaming community.

Furthermore, social media offers game developers a direct way to engage with their audience, making it evident that it plays a crucial role in the growth and success of the gaming industry.

Building Connections! 🌏

Online gaming communities bring people together through shared interests, often focusing on specific games or genres like first-person shooters, role-playing games, or strategy games. Connecting with others who share a passion for the same games can be highly rewarding, providing opportunities to exchange strategies, share tips, and build friendships with those who understand their enthusiasm.

Furthermore, online gaming communities have broken geographic barriers, uniting people from various cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. This creates a diverse and global gaming environment, offering players new perspectives and promoting inclusivity and understanding.

Teamwork! 💪🏼

In many online games, teamwork and collaboration are key to success in many online games, requiring players to join forces to complete quests, achieve objectives, or overcome opponents. This focus on cooperation fosters social interaction and helps players develop interpersonal skills, as they must communicate, coordinate strategies, and support one another to reach their goals.

Collaborative gameplay helps players develop important skills like leadership, problem-solving, and effective communication. These abilities can be applied to real-life situations, enhancing social interactions beyond gaming.

Emotional Support 🫂

Online gaming communities offer a sense of belonging and support to individuals who may feel isolated or overlooked in other parts of their lives. These spaces allow gamers to connect with others who share their interests and provide emotional encouragement, which can be especially helpful for those dealing with social anxiety or challenges in forming connections in traditional social settings.

Gaming communities provide a space for forming lasting friendships and meaningful connections. Many include forums, chat rooms, and social media groups where members can discuss not only gaming but also personal topics. These platforms often become places for sharing experiences, seeking advice, or enjoying casual conversations.

Challenges ⚔️

Despite the benefits of online gaming communities, they also come with challenges, particularly the risk of toxic behavior and online harassment. The anonymity provided by online platforms can lead some individuals to act abusively towards others, negatively affecting the gaming experience and deterring people from engaging in these communities.

To combat this problem, many gaming platforms have introduced strict rules to encourage respectful behavior and penalize offenders. Players are also urged to report harassment or abuse, while community moderators are essential in ensuring a safe and welcoming environment.

Gaming, once a solitary activity, has become a global phenomenon due to social media. These changes have transformed both the gaming experience and the structure of gaming communities.

Social media has become essential for gamers and developers, connecting people, building communities, and introducing new dynamics in gaming.

To conclude this blog 🔏

Online gaming communities have had a profound impact on social interaction, revolutionizing the way people connect and engage with each other. These communities provide a space for gamers to build connections based on shared interests, collaborate and work together towards common goals, and seek emotional support from like-minded individuals. They have created opportunities for individuals to connect and form friendships across geographic boundaries and have fostered a sense of inclusivity and understanding.

With the existence of social media, it has greatly influenced gaming communities by connecting players, building communities, and enhancing the experience. While challenges exist, the benefits are clear, and it continues to shape the future of gaming in exciting ways. When used responsibly, social media can foster connection, learning, and engagement, making gaming more dynamic and inclusive.

Review: News Tower - Living vicariously in a stable career

RATING: 4/5 Stars Played on: AMD 5 5600X and RTX 3060 Ti 8GB

Entering the journalism field is hard. While I was lucky to get a 2-year contract with a national broadcaster when I was in uni, getting my foot in the door became so much more difficult, especially when companies keep changing the goalposts. Not to mention, the constant amount of layoffs that occurred across the world. So, you can imagine my intrigue when there is an indie game that showcases a time when the journalism field wasn't that bad.

This is my review of News Tower, a fun journalism business sim that's somewhat reminiscent of 1930s America.

News Tower is a PC game developed by Sparrow Night and published by Twin Sails Interactive. While the developers are from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, it managed to showcase the 1930s American aesthetic that we're somewhat familiar with and what journalism was like in the past.

In this game, you play as the editor-in-chief or boss of your family's newspaper company in the USA. It is in shambles and it's up to you to restore it to a functioning state. You will be hiring employees, not just journos, and will be tasked to send them to report on topics based on what your communications team picked up. From elections to film reviews, you have it all.

Each employee you hire will be an expert in three skills/topics and you can raise their knowledge-base levels through experience or items in the office. This applies to journalists, cleaners, typewriters, lawyers, and the rest of the newspaper staff.

The game is also a business simulator, so you will have to manage the well-being of your employees, as well as other factors like rioters destroying and trashing equipment and trashing the place and paper stock. So expect to micromanage everything.

Each round lasts for a "week." After each job, you will be assessed on how well you did via the earnings overview. Did you make advertisers happy? Are the quality of your stories good or sloppy? Did you take out loans? All of that is showcased at the end.

The reason why I say "week" is because each "round" is technically a month. Once the round ends, you enter a brand new month.

If you're wondering why my screenshots are weird, that's because the graphics settings were hard to navigate. While it did offer different screen ratios so it suits many devices, finding the settings for my monitor (1440p) was seriously buried.

What I like about the game is that you also have the freedom to do whatever you want, despite the micromanagement aspects. You can tackle stories of your choosing or produce content that will attract readers. You also have the opportunity to work with three "influences," all of which could play a role in what you can and can not cover. For example, you may be required to lie to your readers or produce certain types of stories. If you can complete these tasks, you will be heavily rewarded.

Either way, it is up to you on what gets reported and how you layout your newspaper. But just like in the real world, you need to know your audience and if you want to get the funding, you need to bow down to your sponsors.

Sadly, this game only offers at least 3 hours of game time. You start the game in 1930, but it ends once you complete December 1932. Is it possible to unlock everything on the map with that limited time? Maybe. But if you're going to be a full-on completionist, good luck with that as the jobs you get to report on are randomized. Meaning that the mafia story that you needed to cover may not even happen because it didn't pop up until the very last minute. Or if you're trying to attract readers in a certain area, it may take a few attempts before you're able to make everyone happy.

These tasks and readers give you influence points, that you can use to unlock items. But like I said earlier, you only have 2 years' worth of gameplay that only lasts for 3 hours. So there is a high chance you may not be able to unlock everything during your first or second attempt.

The reason for this is because News Tower is still in early access, and the devs plan to release "Endless mode" at some point, as well as other fun features. While it is understandable, it kinda felt like the game is teasing us. For example, News Tower says you could accept jobs outside of America. But unfortunately, you can't unlock those places yet (at the time of writing).

Overall, the game has potential and is very well-built. The music and aesthetic really do really encapsulate that 1930s America. However, due to the limited gameplay that you're given, as well as the locked features, it feels like the game is teasing you to start a new save file over and over again. This is a shame because I want to be the next Rupert Murdoch in my game but that can't be achieved at the time being.

But maybe those locked features are what make this game addictive and how it lures you back in. It triggers that part of your brain to try and try again. I look forward to Endless Mode once it comes out. But for now, this will do.

<Uradol>

kei: There are things in the world that can't be measured by common sense.

One day, those things unexpectedly changed our lives.

This is a story of how those who lived in separate worlds came together as one through idols.

A story of fulfilling a promise made 10 years ago.

ranma: This is bad. This is really bad!

ranma: (My name is Ranma Fujisaki, and I work as the head of the accounting department at the Evol Talent Agency.

Although we call it an agency, the management is in the worst possible state due to a change in leadership two years ago. The former president's beloved son, no... It's all because of that damn son of his!)

ranma: President!

ijuin: Oh, Ran-chan! Yahoo~

ranma: I have something to tell you.

ijuin: What?

ranma: It's an important matter, so please listen seriously. Stop playing games and put your phone away!

ijuin: Geh, I was at a good part too~ It's probably just about money again.

ranma: That's right. Please take a look at this.

ijuin: Yes, yes, this is our sales figures. What about it?

ranma: At the moment, it’s showing a significant loss compared to last year.

ijuin: Waah, really?

ranma: Do you understand how serious this situation is?! We're on the brink of bankruptcy!

ijuin: That's true, yeah. But once it's happened, there's nothing we can do about it, right? Time can’t turn back.

ranma: Who do you think is responsible for this? It's the result of you spending the company's money as you please! At this rate, we'll definitely go under.

ijuin: Don't worry, don’t worry, it'll be fine~

ranma: ("We can still make it," says this idiot, the CEO of evol, Kaede Ijuin. He took over the reins of management from Sendai and as soon as he took charge, the company went belly up due to his reckless spending.)

ranma: How many employees do you think we have? Do you know how much we need every month just for personnel expenses? We have to take action quickly-

ijuin: Hey, we still have our top-sellers.

lui: Excuse me~

ranma: U... Usami-san...

lui: Fujisaki, good job.

ranma: Thank you for your hard work.

ranma: (This person is Usami Lui-san, a manager in the management department. He’s only 33 years old, but he’s a talented manager who is good at his job. He handles two of our company’s popular actors.)

ijuin: Usa-chan, hello. What's up?

lui: Something big happened, I need to report it.

ijuin: Hmm?

lui: Aoyagi Haruto and Hanamori Asuka want to quit the agency.

ijuin: Eh?

ranma: Wait a minute!! Aoyagi-san and Hanamori-san are our top two! It would be a problem if they quit!

ijuin: Hey, Usa-chan, you're their manager, right? Pay closer attention.

ranma: What’s the reason?

lui: They want to start their own agency because they don’t see a future here.

ranma: Gkh- How many does that make now?

lui: Like the eighth person?

ijuin: Geez, everyone is so cold! Who do they think made those amateurs into stars?

lui: It wasn't Kaede-san, it was Sendai who did everything.

ranma: That's right, you haven't done anything.

ijuin: Eh, really?

ranma: This idiot…

lui: Well, even if I stop those two from quitting, it’ll just cause trouble later on. I think we should respect their wishes.

ijuin: Yeah, that's true.

ranma: But if this continues, our agency…!

lui: Mm, honestly, it’ll be hard without Aoyagi and Hanamori. We've been living off their earnings lately.

ranma: What are we going to do, president? If things continue like this, we'll really be finished!

ijuin: Don't worry about that~ Who do you all think I am? I’m Kaede Ijuin-sama, you know. I've succeeded in plenty of businesses so far.

lui: Well, it's true that Kaede-san is a talented manager.

ranma: (As Usami-san said, this ridiculous man not only manages our office, but also many other companies. All of them have good performance, no, they are actually very successful.)

ranma: Then why are we the only ones in a deficit?!

lui: That's true. Why did this happen?

ijuin: Ehh? My dad said he wants me to try running an office too. When I became the president, I was like, “What's up with this company? We have so much money~!!”

ijuin: Entertainment is a game, right? It's like a fantasy, right?! So I thought I would try doing what I wanted!

ranma: As a result, we poured money into new ideas one after another, and this is the current situation.

lui: Kaede~san, this isn’t a game. It's a company.

ijuin: I know, I know. But I have a plan in case of an emergency, so it's okay… Well, I was thinking it's about time too.

ranma: A plan? Do you really have something like that?

ijuin: Nfufu. Want to hear it? Hey, wanna hear it?!

ranma: He's always so annoying.

lui: Come on, calm down, Fujisaki. So, what's the plan?

ijuin: Actually, I've been thinking about it for a while now. A major project to revive Evol.

lui: A major project?

ranma: What do you mean?

ijuin: Hehe, well, you see...this year, we’re going to debut a idol group from our company! Yay, applause!!

ranma: …I-Idol?

lui: From our company...?

ijuin: Yeah. What? No good?

ranma: Haa, wait a minute. If they're going to be idols, they'll definitely need singing and dance lessons. We'll have to hire a trainer, and one manager won't be enough. It will take money, time, and energy.

lui: And we’ll also need to hold auditions to choose the members.

ranma: Do you think our company has that kind of luxury right now?

ijuin: Hmm, then let’s make a idol group that doesn't cost any money.

ranma: Huh?

ijuin: We can just use what we already have.

lui: And what do we have?

ijuin: The members can be our employees. We won't hold auditions. I'll get a cheap singing and dance teacher from some people I know! Then we can start right away~

ranma: Our employees...? Employees!? Huh?! What are you talking about!? Being an idol requires not only good looks but also singing and dancing skills! Where do we have employees who can become idols!?

ijuin: Here! I have two right here~

both: Hm? Huh? Hah?! Us?!

ijuin: That's right!

lui: No, no, no, no.

ranma: That's obviously impossible! Are you insane?

ijuin: Haha, why not? First of all, Usa-chan has a cute idol-like look, so the age difference won't be a problem. And Ran-chan is the most handsome guy in our company, you know? I heard the female employees are forming a fan club behind the scenes.

ijuin: This is definitely going to sell. Yeah, it'll sell! Actually, I’m sorry I didn't realize it until now!

both: Ugh…

lui: Shit. Kaede-san is going too fast, I can't keep up.

ranma: How can someone like him be at the top? Someone... Someone tell me this is a dream.

ijuin: It's not a dream. It's reality. By the way, this is a order from work. So, don't choose to not do it, okay? Let’s work together!

lui: Um... I'll ask just in case, but are you serious?

ijuin: Yeah, I’m serious. Super serious.

ranma: Wait a minute! There's no way the two of us can handle this physically! Absolutely not!

ijuin: That’s true. We could use one more person actually~?

ranma: No, it's not a issue of numbers!

*knock knock*

kei: Excuse me! It's Goda Delivery! Ijuin-san! I brought what you asked for!

ijuin: Ah, thanks for your hard work! Just leave it there as usual.

kei: You got it!

ijuin: Sorry about that as always.

kei: Haha, nah, not at all! I'm happy to have you as a regular customer! *twinkle sfx*

ijuin: Haa… wait a minute. Got it.

both: Eh?

ijuin: Got it, got it, got it! An amazing talent is here!

kei: Eh? Huh? What's up? Me?

ijuin: Yes! It's you, it's you! I never noticed before, but when I look at you closely, you're incredibly cool! And your style is great! Mhm, mmm, with a cute face like that girls will like you! Hey, have you joined a agency?!

kei: Nah, I'm just a part-timer.

ijuin: Great! That's awesome! What's your name?

kei: Keisho Isumi.

ijuin: Keisho-kun! Do you have any interest in becoming an idol?

kei: Huh? Idol?

ranma: Hey, wait a minute, president! What are you thinking?!

lui: No, wait, Fujisaki! That kid really is unbelievably handsome.

ranma: A-Ah, yeah, that's true, but... But!

ijuin: How much do you make with this part-time job? If you become an idol with us, you can earn 10 times, no, 100 times more than that!

kei: 100!? Are you serious!?

ijuin: Yeah, yeah, let's make a promise! You're a once-in-a-millennium, no, once-in-a-ten-thousand-years talent. Those carefully chiseled facial features, that slender figure, perfect!

kei: Perfect... Me? Well, my looks get complimented a lot but, ha…

ijuin: I'm sorry for not noticing this raw talent before! Now, come with me on a new journey together! You're not meant to be just an ordinary person.

kei: I-I don't really get it but… if I can get that much money, I'll try it. It'll motivate me more than my part-time delivery job. Idols are popular with girls, right?!

ijuin: It's not just about being popular. You can get everything you want~

kei: Woah, seriously?! Making money and being popular, that's the best! Isn’t it awesome?! I'll do it!! I'll become an idol!

But until then, web3 game development is assumed to involve the development of games through the use of blockchain technology to build player-driven, decentralized ecosystems. Web3 game development services in America are the most dizzying current market that provides qualitative programmers and gamers with life-changing experiences. This essay examines the basics of web3 game creation services in the U.S., underscoring the major points of attention, the leading countries, and prospective developments.

web3 game development

Understanding Web3 Game Development

Web3 game development services will offer an open and transparent internet by adapting blockchain technology. Non-fungible tokens are going to provide real ownership, while decentralized finance will be applied in gaming economies, and smart contracts will ensure safe, automated transactions within decentralized web use.

1. Blockchain Technology: It ensures the much-needed transparency, security, and decentralization that the very foundation of Web3 gaming is supposed to house. Popular blockchain platforms for gaming include Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Solana.

2. NFTs: These are unique in-game items, game characters, and other peripherals that lie with the player to own, trade, or sell. This hypes the engagement of any game but promotes a player-driven economy.

3. Smart Contracts: These self-executing contracts with pre-determined clauses within the code make the gaming transactions secure and transparent.

4. DeFi: DeFi is a way in which monetary functionality is included in games, and having the users earn, lend, and borrow their in-game currency establishes a potent in-game economy that results in DeFi.

Top United States-based Web3 Game Development Companies

Below are a couple of pioneering U.S.-headquartered companies leading the way in churning out Web3 games and pushing the boundaries of creativity and user experience.

1. Dapper Labs: Positioned at the core of blockchain gaming, Dapper Labs is using the Flow blockchain to design scalable and user-friendly experiences. The company is well known for its products, including NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties.

2. Mythical Games: Driven by the goal of developing play-to-earn economies and NFT-based games in the fierce world of player-owned games, with Blankos Block Party as its poster boy.

3. Gala Games: Gala Games just empowers the user by giving them control over the in-game economy and assets. They have a selection of games up on the platform within a decentralized gaming environment.

4. Enjin: Enjin introduces a powerhouse package that will be used by the developer to facilitate, integrate, and manage blockchain assets in the game.

Opportunities and Benefits

The Web3 game development service benefits the creators, players, and investors connected with it in various ways.

1. True Ownership: With the advent of blockchain technology, players' in-game assets are guaranteed to be theirs, hence enabling them to trade or sell them outside of the game.

2. Enhanced Security: Smart contracts and the blockchain's decentralized structure offer strong protection against fraud and hacking by guaranteeing secure asset storage and transactions.

3. New Revenue Streams: For developers, both NFTs and in-game tokens offer ways of payment—be that marketplace fees, sales of tokens, or royalties gained.

4. Player-driven economies: Web3 plays a game that places a forefront view with a player-driven economy, actively influencing and being a part of which makes the gameplay interesting and immersive.

5. Interoperability: The value and utility of in-game assets can be boosted by deploying assets from one game to another using blockchain technology.

Challenges and Considerations

Web3 game development has many pros and cons as well.

1. Scalability: Scalability issues are frequently faced by blockchain networks at peak times of usage. Heavy transaction fees and slow processing are the outcomes of such scalability issues.

2. Regulatory Uncertainty: Changes in the framework for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies will subject developers to fresh legal battles.

3. User Adoption: Players are yet to be convinced of understanding the technology behind blockchains, not to mention further challenges like knowing NFTs and using a digital wallet.

4. Security Risks: The technology of blockchain is secure, but the properties of the players can be in danger from phishing and weaknesses in smart contracts.

Upcoming Trends

Indeed, the future of Web3 game development services in the USA appears very promising, as the space is evolving across a continuum of new developments affecting the industry.

1. Play-to-Earn Models: These games are rapidly becoming popular as they motivate players to stay and engage easily. They empower players to earn real-world value through in-game actions.

2. Metaverse Integration: Web3 games will find their place in the much larger metaverse ecosystems, where all this will aggregate into networked virtual worlds that provide consistent experiences on any platform.

3. Cross-Chain Compatible: This nature of flexibility and accessibility of the games in Web3 will come with solutions on how to make games easily compatible across multiple blockchains.

4. Decentralized Governance: Give players access to decentralized autonomous organizations to stimulate community involvement and decision-making.

Conclusion

Game production companies in the United States use blockchain technology to create decentralized, transparent, player-driven experiences that are reinventing the gaming business. The bulk of the issues lie in Web 3 gaming in terms of scalability and regulatory uncertainty, but these have to be outweighed by possible innovation, new cash inflows, or player engagement shortfalls. The USA is on its way to standing as a leader in this emerging new age of gaming.

Aperçu of the Week

"Artificial intelligence will have a more profound impact on humanity than fire, electricity and the internet."

(Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet aka Google)

Bad News of the Week

Artificial intelligence has the potential to be a Sith lord. So on the dark side of the force. Artificial intelligence existed long before the term was coined. After all, it's nothing more than YouTube suggesting another clip similar to the one you've just watched. Since then, algorithms have accompanied us everywhere in life where probability calculation plays a role. Social media has always done nothing different when it presents certain suggestions based on personal likes and followed channels and not alternatives - because the algorithm calculates that we would like result A better than result B (this is called a bubble). This is why we all initially had the feeling that the internet was mainly made up of conspiracy theories.

As with any fundamental innovation, there is potential for good and bad. The US doesn't give a shit about the good dominating. They don't seem to care at all that someone could and should care about a leadership function that this potential benefits the population as a whole. Instead, the usual priority dominates - the buck rules. A look at the country's political personnel reveals why: there are more millionaires than non-millionaires in both chambers of Congress. What might be the reason for this...

Artificial intelligence will not be stopped. It is up to the people - in the USA primarily those who decide and provide - whether this powerful tool will be dangerous or useful. It's like a kitchen knife: you can cook dinner for your family or stab someone with it. In a society that is primarily geared towards maximizing profits, it is to be feared that AI will primarily be used to replace working people. Because AI never gets sick, never goes on vacation or to the bathroom and can work 24/7. When it comes to earning money, its triumphal march is unstoppable. But it will also have many human victims.

Good News of the Week

Artificial intelligence has the potential to be a Jedi knight. So on the bright side of the force. Artificial intelligence existed long before the term was coined. After all, it's no different when a washing machine recognizes that it's only half full and therefore uses less water. Since then, algorithms have accompanied us everywhere in life where probability calculation plays a role. Internet search engines have always done nothing different when they prioritize certain results over others based on personal surfing behavior - because the algorithm calculates that we would like result A better than result B. This is why we all had the feeling at the beginning that the internet consisted mainly of cat videos.

As with any fundamental innovation, there is potential for good and bad. Europe is trying to ensure that the good dominates. The European Union is also trying to establish regulatory guard rails in this market. Of course, technological development is faster than its administrative management by the public sector. But it is coming. Sooner or later. And it is already costing US companies billions - with the exception of TikTok, all the major players come from the Pacific coast of the USA. Because we insist on compliance with the rules of the game. And we can enforce them, because our market is too big and attractive to be ignored. Without the EU, Meta, for example, would not have a single employee on the lookout for fake news.

Artificial intelligence will not be stopped. It is up to the people - in Europe primarily those who use it and allow themselves to be used - whether this powerful tool will be dangerous or useful. It's like a hammer: you can use it to hammer a nail into the wall for a picture or to beat someone to death. In a society that sees itself as a social community, it is at least the hope that routine activities will be automated with AI so that human labor can be used for more complex services. So when it comes to unleashing potential, its triumphal march is unstoppable. So it really will bring added value for people.

Personal happy moment of the week

This week, some good political news is also my personal happy moment: for the first time, climate activists, in this case Swiss senior citizens, have been successful with a lawsuit for stricter measures against climate change before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). According to the judges, Switzerland had violated the applicants' human rights. The authorities had not acted in time and had not adequately addressed climate change and its consequences.

A ruling that will have a signal effect. After all, legal liability for "failure to provide assistance" - because that's what it is when politicians do too little to combat climate change - is likely to have a greater impact than demonstrations by committed citizens who are probably already acting sustainably anyway. Bravo.

I couldn't care less...

...that O. J. Simpson died. May he rest wherever he belongs.

It's fine with me...

...that US President Joe Biden is considering a "waiver of further prosecution" of whistleblower Julian Assange. I don't like the Wikileaks founder - it's not just in relation to the Swedish sex abuse allegations that there is usually at least a little fire where there is smoke. But he has shown us the necessity of taking responsibility even where authorities like to hide behind non-disclosure agreements and secrecy rules. There is now a "whistleblower protection law" throughout the European Union. Without Assange, this would not exist.

As I write this...

...I am trying to come to terms with the fact that FC Bayern Munich will not be German soccer champions for the first time in 11 years (!). "Vicekusen" is history, as Bayer Leverkusen's victory on Sunday puts them unassailably ahead and they can celebrate their championship five matchdays before the end of the season. And Munich even have to worry about finishing at second place, as Stuttgart are level on points in the table. There are still five days left in the season - and, after a long time, a lively competition again. That's actually a good thing. But it still hurts a little.

Post Scriptum

Germany has a climate protection law. It has defined targets for reducing climate-damaging emissions, for example, in order to (yes, we still have to hope for it) keep global warming under control. The targets apply according to the respective thematic responsibility of the ministries, i.e. the corresponding savings in the transport sector are the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport. The current legal text stipulates that the respective ministry must take effective immediate measures if it is foreseeable that targets will not be met. This is the case with transport, not least because the ministers (not only in this legislative period) lack ambition, to put it mildly.

The current Minister of Transport, Volker Wissing of the Liberals, has been nagging about the law for some time now and would like to be able to continue to remain unambitious by allowing ministries to offset against each other. In other words, he wants to have his own deficits compensated by others. He just can't get a majority for that. And is now starting to threaten, there's no other way to put it. If the law doesn't change, he would have to order "comprehensive and indefinite driving bans". For all private vehicles, on all Saturdays and Sundays. I assume that electric cars (we're already driving our third) would be exempt, but that's only a small percentage anyway. The targets could not be achieved with milder measures such as a speed limit, which he has of course never tried.

The outcry from Germany as a nation of motorists was and is huge. Which was certainly exactly what he had intended. However, almost all of the political competition and political commentators are not crying out against the evil law, but against his plan. There is talk of a "political indictment". And that it is irresponsible to "stir up unfounded fears". The Liberals are currently polling below 5% nationwide, meaning they would no longer make it into parliament. If they carry on like this, that won't change. What would be their own fault.

The Rising Trend of Play-to-Earn Games and Innovative Development Companies in the USA

In recent years, the gaming industry has witnessed a revolutionary shift with the emergence of play-to-earn games. These games allow players to earn real-world rewards and even make a living through their in-game achievements. Alongside this trend, various innovative game development companies in the USA have been leading the charge in creating immersive experiences through procedural animation and web-based augmented reality (AR) development. In this blog, we will explore the growing significance of play-to-earn games USA and highlight some prominent USA-based companies driving the advancements in procedural animation and web AR development.

Play-to-Earn Games: A Gamechanger in the Industry:

Play-to-earn games, also known as blockchain-based games or decentralized gaming, have disrupted the traditional gaming landscape. These games leverage blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to create unique ecosystems where players can earn digital assets, tokens, or even real-world currencies. By participating in gameplay, completing tasks, and achieving in-game milestones, players can unlock valuable rewards that can be traded or monetized outside the game.

The concept of play-to-earn has gained immense popularity due to its potential to provide financial independence and create new economic opportunities for players. With the rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which enable the ownership of unique digital assets, play-to-earn games have seen explosive growth. Players can buy, sell, and trade these digital assets, allowing for a vibrant virtual economy that transcends traditional gaming boundaries.

Prominent Play-to-Earn Game Development Companies in the USA:

Forte: Based in San Francisco, Forte is a leading play-to-earn game development company that focuses on building blockchain-based ecosystems for game developers and players. Their platform enables the creation of in-game economies and facilitates secure and transparent transactions using blockchain technology.

Immutable: Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, with a strong presence in the USA, Immutable has developed the popular play-to-earn game "Gods Unchained." This blockchain-based trading card game allows players to earn digital assets that hold real-world value, creating a thriving marketplace for collectors and players alike.

Procedural Animation: Breathing Life into Virtual Worlds:

Procedural animation is a technique that empowers developers to create lifelike and dynamic movements within virtual environments. By using algorithms and mathematical functions, developers can generate animations that respond intelligently to in-game interactions, enhancing immersion and realism.

Several game development companies in the USA specialize in procedural animation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in virtual worlds:

SideFX: Based in Santa Monica, California, SideFX develops Houdini, a powerful software widely used in the entertainment industry for procedural animation, visual effects, and game development. Houdini's procedural workflow empowers developers to create complex animations and simulations efficiently.

Giant Sparrow: Known for their critically acclaimed game "What Remains of Edith Finch," Giant Sparrow is a game development studio located in Santa Monica, California. They excel in combining procedural animation techniques with compelling storytelling, creating emotionally engaging experiences for players.

Web AR Development: Augmenting Reality through the Browser:

Web-based augmented reality (AR) development has opened up new avenues for creating interactive and immersive experiences accessible through web browsers.

By leveraging web technologies such as WebGL and WebXR, developers can deliver AR content directly to users' devices without the need for installing additional apps.

Prominent Web AR Development Companies in the USA: 8th Wall: Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, 8th Wall specializes in developing tools and platforms that enable web-based AR experiences.

Their technology allows developers to build and deploy AR content easily across a wide range of devices, empowering them to create engaging and interactive web AR.

Rippling with Lobo Legend Coach Ray Birmingham

I was so excited that Coach Birmingham agreed to come on the podcast. I have been a big fan of his as he is a legend in college baseball. I just knew if we could have an opportunity to visit, he'd share some of the incredible wisdom he's acquired throughout his career and boy was a right. This episode is pure gold and is chalked full of great stories about motivating and leading that everyone can learn from.

  Plus he is just one of the kindest and most thoughtful men I think I've ever met. Although I knew him through his social network presence, the conversation with him was so easy to have. He made me feel like he and I have been friends for years. He's a Rippler through and through.

  Here's a bit more about Coach:

  At UNM, Birmingham has the second-most wins in program history with 402 to his credit as the Lobo skipper, earning his 400th DI Career win on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2021 versus Air Force. He also initiated and had led the ongoing development and execution of the $3.65 million expansion of Santa Ana Star Field as well as UNM’s first privately-funded building on campus – the R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard Clubhouse that was completed in December of 2016.

For his overall career, Birmingham is in exclusive company having won over 1,000 games. Entering the 2021 season, Birmingham will have coached in parts of six decades dating back to the late 1970s. Birmingham is also the winningest coach in the state’s history as all 1,220 of his victories have come coaching for teams in his home state of New Mexico (College of the Southwest, New Mexico Junior College and UNM).

In 2015, Birmingham was inducted into the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame and was also inducted into the NJCAA Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2011. He also currently serves on the College Baseball Hall of Fame Selection Committee.

Birmingham has also coached or spoken at numerous clinics throughout the United States and South America. He has been published in the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Journal and worked professionally for the Cleveland Indians, Oakland A’s and Kansas City Royals.

In 2004, Birmingham led the NJCAA all-star team to four wins in five games over the Chinese All-Stars in Beijing, China. In 2007, Birmingham was selected as the head coach of the NJCAA all-star team when China returned to the United States to play the U.S. team. Birmingham also coached the NJCAA West All-Stars to a three-game sweep over the East All-Stars in the summer of 2009.

In the summer of 2014, Birmingham served as the hitting coach for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team, which was made up of the top collegiate players from around the country. Team USA played games across North Carolina before traveling to the Netherlands to participate in Honkbal-Haarlem Baseball Week. The CNT won the international tournament by outscoring its opponents 34-6 over its final seven games. Birmingham helped guide Tennessee’s Christin Stewart to “Best Hitter” honors at the tournament and Albuquerque’s own Alex Bregman of LSU was named Honkbal Baseball Week MVP. Team USA concluded its summer with five games in Cuba, finishing with an overall record of 18-8-2.

In his 43rd year of coaching, Birmingham has been a part of 22 championships. All the college baseball programs Birmingham has coached have reached the top 25 in the national rankings at some point. Between University of the Southwest, New Mexico Junior College and New Mexico, 167 athletes have gone on to play professional baseball with 39 coming while the head coach at UNM. Additionally, under Birmingham at UNM, 40 athletes have earned All-America honors and 10 have been freshman All-Americans as well. Birmingham was also the coach of NMJC’s first basketball conference championship team – a team that was ranked No. 1 in the country.
