Most modern games prioritize speed, intensity, and constant action, demanding rapid decisions. By contrast, Víctor Navarro-Remesal unpacks how slower games like “Journey,” “The Longing,” and “Coffee Talk” embrace stillness, routine, and reflection, inviting players to linger:
The Quiet Power of Reflective Games
In an industry that prizes fast-paced, time-pressured decision-making, reflective games invite players to meditate on life’s beauty, banality, and the spaces in between.

"You always look at the worst case scenario whenever you're doing good risk management." Luke Kemp in this important PBS Weathered episode. Why do we do so little of this when it comes to climate? Worth watching!

Der neue UN-Report zur globalen #Wasserkrise sei ein weiterer Weckruf, den nötigen Paradigmenwechsel in der Wasserwirtschaft zu forcieren, so PIK-Forscher Dieter Gerten zur @dpa.com. Dabei gebe es ein weites Spektrum an nachhaltigen Lösungsoptionen: www.handelsblatt.com/dpa/uebernut...

I'll keep dropping other reading links on Trump's science and health impacts in this thread, as time permits. So far some of the best big overviews have included an impressive series from @statnews.com www.statnews.com/american-sci...

American Science, Shattered
An eight-decade partnership between universities and the federal government made U.S. science preeminent. It took Trump less than a year to shred that

„Die Welt“ verbreitet erneut eine bizarre Verschwörungserzählung: das ausdrückliche politische Ziel von PIK-Direktor Johan Rockström und mir sei „die Überwindung des Wirtschaftswachstums“. Sorry, leider falsch.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

A pretty unambiguous top line judgement in the UK's "National security assessment on global ecosystems" report, released today:

"Global ecosystem degradation and collapse threaten UK national security and prosperity" Confidence: high.

Time to speed up action, then?

A beautiful early medieval cobalt blue glass beaker. dating late 7th century AD. Found in a burial in Lauchheim.

This type of vessel has no foot and will not stand upright, it had to be emptied before it could be put down.
