Was off from from FC but the reason was pretty good - got all the affairs back in order, applied to some conferences as a speaker, got back to writing & got involved with a startup that tackles all my interests. From culture to web3, from ownership to ways to think about culture. Meet https://3rdunit.studio/ 🚀

Are we finally seeing unification? We are witnessing a notable shift away from console exclusivity, as evidenced by Microsoft & Sony's decision to release certain Xbox titles on PS and launch Sony's Helldivers II on PC & PS5 simultaneously. Great piece on that here https://naavik.co/digest/helldivers-xbox-exclusivity/

Why not start your day with music from some of the most notorious dungeon crawlers, meditative darknesses, cRPGs & others! Prepared some nice sounds from titles like Fallout, Diablo and Final Fantasy series among others. Have a nice listen! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0mOPpB6anmbExJJ98fVAuL?si=3055658724b14562

Currently the best analysis of gaming AD 2024 I've come across - https://www.matthewball.vc/all/gaming2024 Full read is more than recommended for a better understanding of the industry as a whole - from the side of business/numbers and not nerd-core emotional analysis. Loads of helicopter view insights such as this:

A short/hot take on the fact that many of AI functions within different services (eg. Canva) have an 🪄 or ✨ emoji and why this might be an indirect reason GenAI's adoption is growing exponentially: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories?index=0x65aa9fecb824665f109f5f7ab7abfd96a18aec846259247d21b12c323cbab83435799c35

Humanity has to have a serious discussion why proper X-Files OST is not available on audio streaming services,but is a YT only. The soundtrack is a clever mix of dark ambient,experimental,moody electronics. Best soundtrack to work one can have on a ❄️ Jan morning! https://www.youtube.com/@THEXFILESScore/featured

Some time ago i Was talking to @macbudkowski on note taking apps & thought of a list of productivity tools I use & find valuable in my everyday work as a strategist / researcher / analyst - mostly Mac apps that are a great aid and a time saver. The list is now live on my blog & @kiwi! Feel free to send me additions!

Anybody here a fan of Video Game maps? Huge fan of what the video game community is doing in the space - from custom map creation to releasing books and atlases on that matter.

This slide vs "i have nothing to play" statement. The problem is not with the number of content released and the quality of it. The problem is the time one can find to dig into all this great games (from every genre) being released every year.

Having huge problems with concentration I started making playlists with instrumental music that would help me to focus more and be more productive. I will start sharing them on FC, so here goes the first one: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0tNoVeoku3wyeHEfXkNJkL?si=8303d406d87f4ac0 Guitar ambient & drony trips

Net market data per se, but an interesting take from WEF's Future of jobs report. Each time I will read about Blockchain being the "trendy" tech with no impact on the market I will post this slide. BC DEvs are on the rise and don't think this trend will be slowing down.

Highly recommended read for folks who are interested in many faces of horror - especially gaming and interactive entertainment. Taking sidenotes or writing down referrals from almost every page - my fav way of learning! Pdf version is great but the physical release is just the bomb!

Trying to work on a comprehensive list of AI (that includes a computer program or a "funny robot" trope) in movies and other film forms. The purpose of this list is to create 360 view on the matter as seen by creators from different time periods and different movie genres. Thoughts and suggestions welcomed!

Browsing through trend reports this week and noticed how AI-style graphics has slowly but surely taken over the elements of many of them. Great trend in terms of quality / efficiency and easily translatable to a graphic design team as a tool that will accelerate their work, not the "take-away-jobs-doomsday" narrative.

Refik Anadol machine learning-fueled art is a must-see for all the techies. Not only art, but tech explanations and engaging art. If you’re in Rotterdam - highly recommended!
