I was wrong about retro consoles – they’re a huge success
The numbers for 2018 are coming in, and it appears the video game industry is getting along just fine.

How AI will change storytelling and become the next great art form
It seems self-defeating for the former head of Oculus Stories Studios and current founder and executive producer of VR startup Fable to declare AI, not virtual reality, the next big art form. Especially considering that, aside from him, nobody knows what that means. äàëüøå »

Video: My Tamagotchi taught me these 6 valuable life lessons
The Tamagotchi is the ultimate ’90s toy and, at the time, it felt revolutionary. Here was a pocket-sized gadget that contained an entire life form. And, you know what? It’s back. As about twenty years have passed between now and then, it seemed wrong to do a normal review. äàëüøå »

The last resort of failing tech companies is UX design – it won’t save them
Facebook is using billboards to demonstrate their commitment to fighting fake news. Uber is running TV spots to illustrate the company’s commitment to doing good. Once considered disruptors, digital companies are now using the same strategies oil and tobacco companies used back in the ’90s to project the illusion of an optimistic future — while their design teams are still tied to aggressive, revenue-driven, short-term metrics. äàëüøå »
