Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin On the face of it, Arcade Paradise seems to promise too much: an indie management sim boasting a story-driven and evolving environment, 35 pseudo-original games, and a price tag of just $25. Surely some mistake? After 25 hours of playtime–and despite only clearing the main “campaign”, without really digging deep into its plethora of challenges and unlockables– Arcade Paradise is an absolute gem of a game. Despite its slack handful of bugs, glitches, gripes, and box-ticking exercises, Nosebleed Interactive’s spiritual successor to debut Vostok Inc might be the best value for money you’ll get from a game in 2022. At its heart, Arcade Paradise is a profit simulator in a similar vein to House Flipper : an adventure that is, for the most part, as banal as it is exciting. You assume the role of Ashley, tasked with making a laundrette profitable. It happens to have a trio of old arcade machines in a glorified closet. … [Read more...] about ‘Arcade Paradise’ Review: An Essential Ode To Classic Coin-Ops

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin My kids and I were talking on a ride home from school last year about the fact that CEOs are overwhelmingly white men. (Yes, random race discussions are just one benefit of having a mom focused professionally on issues of race and injustice.) I decided to quiz them and asked, “Of the top 500 companies, how many do you think have a Black CEO?” My middle schooler paused briefly, then blurted out “100.” Paralyzed by a stinging sense of dread, regret and guilt at having to burst her bubble, I hesitantly responded, “No, it’s five.” While that number has since risen to a record high of six , that leaves Black CEO representation in the Fortune 500 just over one percent—dismal by any measure. Unfortunately, this racial disparity for Black professionals remains consistent throughout a range of industries and professional areas, from Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic confirmation as the first Black female justice in the Supreme … [Read more...] about This Is Why Corporate DEI Tragically Fails Many Black Professionals

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Devon Rodriguez wasn’t unknown before he joined TikTok, not in the art world anyway. A high school prodigy whose realistic oil paintings of subway passengers caught the attention of sculptor John Ahearn , Rodriguez’s work has appeared in The New Yorker, ArtNet News and The New York Times. But it wasn’t until August 2020, when he started drawing people on the subway, filming their delighted reactions and posting their videos on TikTok, that he felt really famous. “I’d get this reaction from people like, ‘wow, this is magic,’” Rodriguez says. Two days after his first subway post, 400,000 people were following him on the platform, and 25 million people had seen his videos on TikTok. Then came his first sponsorship deal, where the Cheetos brand paid him $7,000 to draw their logo and share the video on TikTok. Rodriguez, who was living in his grandmother’s house in the South Bronx, saw the potential and started sharing his … [Read more...] about Social Media Platforms Compete For Creators’ Attention.

As a business leader, sometimes you have no choice but to be the lifeblood of business operations, but it shouldn’t become a habit. You can be involved in the high-level aspects of managing a business while knowing when to get out of the weeds as a leader. Otherwise, you’ll only hinder your chances of scaling the business beyond your efforts. advertisement advertisement What’s wrong with being your company’s lifeblood, heartbeat, and brain? For one, your business won’t be able to exist without you, which will create challenges when it’s time for you to transition out. Potential buyers won’t be interested in acquiring a company that depends on a single individual for its survival, and employees will be less likely to remain loyal in the long run. Being too involved in every aspect of your business operations management processes also limits your organization’s ability to run efficiently. It’s hard to optimize processes when they all funnel toward the … [Read more...] about 4 signs your organization is too dependent on its leaders

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Within the span of just four weeks last month, Nepalese Finance Minister Janardan Sharma resigned from office but was then reinstated after he was absolved of an alleged corruption scandal. The upheaval began in early July, when Sharma faced a parliamentary investigation after he was accused of allowing unauthorized, last-minute changes to tax rates in the country’s budget. Sharma stepped down to allow for an internal investigation, which failed to find wrongdoing, and he was reinstated at the end of the month, according to Reuters. The saga has attracted a lot of public and media attention while another significant tax development has unfolded largely under the radar: Nepal is the latest country to implement a digital services tax. Under the new rules , foreign digital services providers with more than NPR 2 million in annual turnover (about $15,911) must register in the country and pay a 2% DST on their … [Read more...] about Shifting Goal Posts In Digital Taxation
