Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The most famous mode of playing Dungeons & Dragons is the “dungeon crawl”. This style of play is known for players exploring a location, encountering traps and characters often dying unexpectedly. Shadowdark , a game currently on Kickstarter having raised nearly a million dollars, looks to deliver the classic crawling experience with a rules set that’s been informed by design ideas in the nearly five decades since D&D began. “I think [dungeon crawling] brings the game back to the things that we, as players, really understand,” said Kelsey Dionne, designer of Shadowdark. “There is a lot of gritty humanity to being a dungeon crawler with a sword and a torch who's only one mistake away from disaster. Unseen monsters, fading resources, the quest for treasure and glory... we understand these struggles implicitly because they are reflections of our daily lives. Bringing the game back to the dungeon makes it more … [Read more...] about Shadowdark Looks Back At Dungeon Crawls With An Eye To The Future

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Technology evolves, constantly. We exist in a cycle of tech development that is now so constant that software application developers have championed Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) in order to keep up with the pace of new code deployments and application updates. Many of the apps and services we use all the time are updated more than once a day; connectivity is - for the most part - a wonderful thing. But as fast as many technology evolutions (plural) are, some tiers of development happen at a different pace and at a different amplitude. Some research & development (R&D) concentrates on shipping the next shiny smartphone and cool app, while other work concentrates on technologies we might not use for five, ten or even twenty years from now. From emojis to Ethernet to exabytes Japanese data and technology company NTT works at both levels. The organization has consumer tech interests … [Read more...] about NTT Widens Optical Vision For Future Tech Platforms

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Patrick Beverley will be a free agent at the end of the season, but the Chicago Bulls may have already seen enough of the 34-year-old to know they want his leadership on the roster next season. The Bulls signed Beverley for the remainder of the 2022-23 season on February 21. After Saturday night’s 113-99 win over the Miami Heat–a game Beverley scored 17 points on 6-for-12 shooting from the field and 5-for-10 marksmanship from three-point range–the Bulls are 7-4 since bringing the Chicago native back to his hometown. Beverley’s arrival helped to halt a season-worst six game losing streak heading into the All-Star break last month, and has seemingly invigorated Zach LaVine. Since Beverley’s arrival, LaVine is averaging 30.2 points per game, shooting 55% from the field and making 47% of his three-point attempts. If the Bulls are going to reach their potential this year and beyond, they will need LaVine to be their best … [Read more...] about Bulls Have An Obvious Decision to Make On Patrick Beverley’s Future With The Team

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Thai Son Nguyen is a CEO and cofounder who has spent the last 16 years building a world-class e-commerce service provider through SmartOSC. The current business landscape is turbulent, complex and ambiguous. Of course, although the narrative continues, the biggest influencer of this has arguably been the Covid-19 pandemic, which amplified many challenges and forced organizations to stand face-to-face with the unknown. For a long time, we navigated a world where historical trends built context and gave us the ability to plan for what we knew as “probable outcomes.” We are now faced with the challenge of preparing for multiple potential futures and balancing the complexity of a world where anything can happen. Business leaders should make decisions faster than ever before while continuously evolving in order to stay competitive within the market. Even though the fear of the unknown has always been present, as we reach … [Read more...] about How Business Leaders Can Adapt To The Future Of Innovation

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin What do you do when you are suddenly tasked with taking over the family farm? Locals know it as the farm with the little grass shack next to Pearlridge. Sumida Farm , a 95-year-old watercress farm on Oʻahu, that most locals toured in elementary school, is bordered by the retail stores, restaurants and parking lots of Pearlridge Center on three sides and a partially finished Honolulu Rail Transit Project, that hovers above busy Kamehameha highway on elevated tracks, on the fourth. The contrast between bright green rows of watercress against a backdrop of a shuttered Sears building with trains shooting through the sky for intermittent testing looks like something straight out of Blade Runner. How has a farm in the center of a shopping mall sustained four generations? Emi and Kyle Suzuki, who took over in March 2020, are figuring that out now, because with each generation a new iteration of the farm is born. … [Read more...] about Envisioning The Future And Sustaining A Legend At Sumida Farm

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Would you rather be looked after in your old age by your kids or robots? For me the answer is easy – robots. They won’t forget my meds, are good at tidying up and, with only a modicum of improvement in artificial intelligence, are likely to have more empathy. The Japanese are not so sure. But faced with the world’s oldest population and a shortage of care workers, they have no choice but to experiment. In one pilot program they paid $1,000 to nursing homes that agreed to use a robot for certain basic functions – helping patients get around, changing sheets, etc. The results? Employee overtime declined as the robots helped ease the workload. But hospitals still needed to employ the same number of nurses. Turns out the robots were, like my children, not particularly empathetic. Nurses were needed to comfort patients and, more generally, were able to refocus their time to improve quality of service.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Founder & CEO of Aux Mode . Helping professional entertainment companies safeguard, monetize & analyze their content. To say that audio and video streaming platforms operate in a crowded market is a vast understatement. Consider behemoths including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, Tidal, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO, YouTube, Peacock, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV—to name a few. When consumers have so many options, audio and video streaming companies don’t get the maximum share of their wallets. The average consumer might opt for, say, an Amazon Prime Video subscription but skip Amazon Music Unlimited in favor of Spotify, meaning Amazon doesn’t get as large a cut. In the future, I predict that audio and video platforms will merge to generate more revenue, among other benefits.
