Happy to announce the release of the new album by Durán Vázquez + Kloob, “Vinum Sabbati: In the Dawn of Science Fiction” available as a limited-release CD or download. This is a reflection on the symbolic power to express sorrow and terrible feelings, a music of fear. www.cronicaelectronica.org/243/

AI is already superhuman. So are libraries, cars, and calculators. Not a reason to abandon the strong history of science-led digital policy in the EU.

I love how, in a 20 year timeframe, we've "transitioned to a knowledge economy" - but somehow also unilaterally decided that knowing stuff is so fundamentally worthless, it can be outsourced to a Magic 8 Ball stuffed with pages from a thesaurus by a handful of sociopaths six thousand miles away

I read somewhere that it should actually be called Simulated Intelligence. It makes immediately clear what it actually is.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.
