SEGAがなかったらムシキング、ラブ＆ベリー、ゲキチュウマイなどに出会えてなかったし、光吉猛修さんのファンになってなかった。

素敵なゲーム会社をありがとうございました。ご冥福をお祈りします。

Alex Petrus and I are back to talk about cozy games.

This week we head out to the Historical Materialism conference in Athens to talk about what cozy game communities teach us about transgressive play and how to deal with capitalism.

A picture split in two parts. On the top we see a screenshot from the game Assassin's Creed Syndicate showing Karl Marx giving a public speech. On the bottom the title of the talk is displayed which is called: "Escpaing the Grind. Resisiting the Capitalist Realism of Digital Games"

Can AI really predict how engaged you are while gaming? We put #GPT and #LLaVA to the test with 80 minutes of FPS gameplay and 2,400+ experiments!

Did they match human intuition or miss the mark? Watch our 1-min breakdown to find out! #AI #GameResearch #AffectiveComputing
