Excavations in the ancient city of Hadrianopolis
located in the Eskipazar district of Karabük
have recently revealed objects of historical interest
Among the most notable finds of 2024 are pieces used in the games Ludus Latrunculorum (literally
likely based on an earlier Greek game called petteia mentioned in The Odyssey) and Ludus duodecim scriptorum
considered precursors to some modern strategic games
were popular in ancient Rome and reflect the importance of military strategy in the daily life of the time
Excavations in Hadrianopolis are conducted under the direction of Dr
as part of the Geleceğe Miras (Heritage for the Future) project
promoted by Turkey’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism
This multidisciplinary effort aims not only to preserve cultural heritage but also to better understand the daily lives
and social structures of ancient civilizations that inhabited the region
known as the Zeugma of the Black Sea due to its impressive mosaics depicting various animal figures
and monumental structures such as arches and ceremonial niches
These elements highlight the historical and cultural significance of the site
which served both as a religious and military center
The two pieces found are bone discs that were used as game pieces in the mentioned games
decorated with four- and eight-armed symbols engraved using scraping techniques
these games were not mere pastimes but tools designed to teach military tactics
suggesting that they were primarily practiced by soldiers
Ludus Latrunculorum and Ludus duodecim scriptorum are board games similar to modern chess or checkers
where players had to use intelligence and foresight to outwit their opponent
The discovery of these game pieces reinforces the hypothesis that Hadrianopolis housed a military detachment for centuries
Previous research had already identified the presence of a 2nd-century CE military barracks
and recent findings suggest that this garrison
Çelikbaş emphasized that these ancient games bear similarities to modern pastimes like checkers
“Battleship” or even the video game “Buscavidas”
demonstrating that critical thinking and planning have been valued skills throughout history

For Yock Song Law, Co-founder of Ludus Lab
accessibility in tourism is more than just a compliance checklist – it’s about unlocking opportunities
and building a truly inclusive travel experience
His recent decision to exit Tribe Tours and focus completely on Ludus Lab was sparked by a personal shift in perspective
inspired by working with persons with disabilities (PWDs) and recognising their strengths
“I was inspired by the people,” Yock Song shares
creating the tours at the Enabling Village
It’s really about looking at their abilities rather than their disabilities.” That realisation fueled his motivation to do more
“Accessibility is not just about infrastructure
It’s about focusing on their abilities and crafting opportunities that truly include them.”
“They are masters of improvisation and innovation
that gave me the motivation to want to do more for them
And so that’s quite a personal shift,” adds Yock Song
Yock Song sees a growing market for accessibility-driven initiatives
there are more and more persons with some form of disability
Many of us will eventually use assistive technology – glasses are already a form of accessibility tool
but for an entire ecosystem of experiences
He adds that Singapore’s aging population and the country’s push for inclusivity
through policies like the Enabling Masterplan
One of the biggest misconceptions about accessible tourism
is the assumption that accessibility is only about wheelchair users
the first thing that comes to mind is wheelchair users
they account for only 10% of travellers with disabilities
The broader scope of accessibility includes neurodivergent travellers
and those who face mobility challenges beyond wheelchairs
There’s a huge audience we’re not addressing.”
Another misconception is that accessibility ends with physical infrastructure
“People think that because a building has ramps and lifts
or the information available before a traveller even arrives?” Accessibility must be embedded across the entire consumer journey
PWDs want to be treated with respect; if a hotel guest with a disability checks in
Ludus Lab aims to integrate accessibility into every aspect of its DNA
“The first step is adopting a people-first approach in everything we do,” Yock Song explains
“It’s about the ‘heart-ware’
I think whoever that we engage or hire needs to actually adopt the right empathy
as well as a very people-first approach in terms of the program design.”
One major aspect of this philosophy is hiring PWDs as part of the team
“When you work with persons with disabilities
it transforms how your staff interacts – not just internally
but also in how the public perceives your organisation
You’re literally walking the talk.” Beyond optics
“PWDs become your test case for whether your policies
You can’t assume you’re accessible unless you work with the people who will use these services.”
Embedding accessibility also fosters a shift in everyday thinking
Is it comfortable for a colleague in a wheelchair?’ That kind of mindset change is what builds inclusivity into an organisation’s DNA
Yock Song Law (Left) on the Little India Singapore Accessible Tour
Some businesses hesitate to prioritise accessibility due to concerns over costs or market size
But Yock Song argues that this is an outdated mindset
1.3 billion people experience some form of disability
travellers with disabilities rarely travel alone
“They’re usually accompanied by at least one
you’re actually bringing in three or four customers
Your marketing efforts have a built-in multiplier effect.”
businesses that embrace accessibility gain long-term advantages
and future-proofing your business for an aging population
Investing in accessibility now means you’re staying ahead of the curve.” With Ludus Lab
Yock Song hopes to drive a shift in how accessibility is perceived in tourism
“We need to go beyond compliance and start thinking about how to truly include everyone
It’s not just about checking boxes – it’s about designing better experiences for all.”
Imagine a world where accessibility isn’t an afterthought but one of the pillars and building blocks of travel and hospitality
How different would Singapore’s tourism landscape look if every hotel
and transport system was designed with universal access in mind
one of Ludus Lab’s key initiatives is Accessible Singapore
a crowdsourced platform collecting hotel accessibility data
getting businesses on board isn’t always easy
but I do think people just ignore you,” he says with a chuckle
“Because it’s not something that’s mandated by the government
It’s all voluntary data.” The process of collecting this information is extensive – originally
hotels were asked to fill out a 77-question multiple-choice survey
and some properties might just ignore it,” he admits
There’s often no central authority in hotels responsible for accessibility information
the maintenance team is better positioned to answer that.’ If you ask about the rooms
“We go with the champions,” Yock Song explains
“There are already hotels and attractions with Enable’s Enabling Mark certification
If we start with those 10 to 12 properties and showcase what they’ve contributed
But he’s also careful about how the data is presented
“We’re not trying to do an audit,” he emphasises
does that mean I’m incompetent as a hotel provider?’ It’s not about that
This awareness extends beyond hotels to the broader community
including corporate team-building activities
One of Ludus Lab’s other initiatives integrates persons with disabilities (PWD) as facilitators in these activities
“When people interact with a person with a disability
they start to look at their abilities instead,” Yock Song says
but you’ve overcome so much more.’ That’s really the end outcome of team building
If accessibility were the foundation of Singapore’s tourism playbook
Yock Song envisions a vastly different industry
“The first thing to look at is Universal Design as a standard,” he says
not retrofitted later.” That means designing attractions
and transport systems with accessibility in mind from the beginning
He also suggests a certification system similar to Singapore’s sustainability standards
“Just like how the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification gives Singapore an edge when bidding for events
an accessibility certification could do the same.”
Representation in marketing is another crucial piece
marketing materials don’t really feature PWDs,” he notes
“I’m not saying they need to be the center
but accessibility should be part of the message
A fun place to visit should also be accessible.” One success story was Ludus Lab’s Sentosa ‘Wheelventure ’ tour
what would success look like for Ludus Lab
we need to see more PWDs thriving in tourism jobs – not just in back-of-house but in visible
he hopes to see accessibility become a competitive advantage for Singapore’s tourism industry
“If events and MICE sectors start adopting accessibility standards
that means we’ve moved the needle.” Finally
he wants to see a shift in how society perceives disability
They’re just part of Singapore’s social fabric
Mia* and her partner have been deeply ingrained in the UK kink community for over 12 years
They provide safe and inclusive spaces for people to explore connection and sexuality
meaning ‘to play,’ LUDUS emphasises the fun and community-based element of the kink community LUDUS and their members wish to explore
I speak with Mia after one of their socials to learn more about the roads which led them to creating LUDUS
"We both felt like something was missing," she says
"We both share a passion for crafting safe environments where individuals can foster intimate connections and friendships
It’s incredibly fulfilling to witness guests entering LUDUS
tentatively exploring the liberation of kink and hedonism
We take joy in supporting their growth and seeing them evolve in confidence
navigating our spaces without fear or shame."
LUDUS has hosted several social and play events across Edinburgh
"The biggest myth surrounding spaces like LUDUS is that everyone goes there to have sex,’ she says
‘People often imagine the atmosphere is going to be overtly sexual or deviant when the reality is quite different." In practice
LUDUS doesn’t allow intimate play during socials
"While sex might be a motivating factor for some
most of our guests come to explore their curiosity in a liberating
If you just took out the dungeon furniture
you wouldn’t know it was anything other than a cocktail social!"
Individuals are invited to socials where they can meet like-minded individuals in a relaxed setting and begin to explore boundaries
Mia and her partner demonstrate the basics of play
inviting members to take turns if they feel comfortable
"Our signature events include socials of up to 25 guests and play events for up to 16 people," explains Mia
While some event organisers have opted for more guests
LUDUS has always been keen to keep things on the smaller side
"We implemented a thorough vetting process focusing on a person's vibe
and energy rather than superficial aspects like body
This was crucial in creating a welcoming environment
we chose to avoid structured pricing and gender quotas favouring women
their demographic hasn't changed a great deal
with 81% of attendees identifying as women
Mia and her partner explain some of the difficulties they’ve experienced in other kink communities
Through LUDUS they wanted to combat some of the elitism
and transphobia they have experienced in other event spaces
They explain how some parties will screen heavily on physical attractiveness and often run male-heavy events
members are reminded of the rules – to play nice and ask before touching
"I was previously an ambassador for a bisexual women-only event in Scotland," explains Mia
I gave up the role after seeing how many women reached out with concerns about not ‘fitting in’
It was heartbreaking to see them doubt their worth and validity." Both Mia and her partner mention how femme-presenting bisexual women can feel ostracised from LGBTQ+ spaces and objectified or dismissed within heterosexual environments
"We wanted to create a space where women could socialise and relax away from the male gaze," they explain
LUDUS also aims to counter misconception and stigma shrouding kink communities
"The misconception is that kink spaces are inherently unsafe or chaotic," explains Mia
communities like ours prioritise communication and consent
Many of our female guests say they feel more comfortable at our events than in traditional nightclub settings."
Alongside her full-time day job and running LUDUS
Mia has an educational platform on Instagram called @Talkingaboutthat which explains some of the practices and terminology used within kink communities
LUDUS provide workshops on kink and on how to build healthier non-monogamous relationships to give members the tools to navigate these spaces independently as the kink community evolves with the times
"One notable aspect is the community’s adeptness at self-regulation," says Mia who explains there has been a notable shift towards emphasising consent
there’s been a growing acceptance of diverse sexualities and body positivity
thanks to the trajectory of the sex and body-positivity movement
"More people are embracing kink and we’re seeing increased representation in mainstream media," she says
"is finding open-minded venues which fit with our brand
Our venues are secret and only disclosed [to attendees] a few days prior to help ensure safety and discretion." As LUDUS’ first birthday looms closer
They hope guests enjoy seeing how they unfold

Welcome to the latest instalment in our nostalgia-inducing column, Memory Pak, where we're going to be doing a deep-dive into some of the most memorable moments in gaming – good and bad. Today is the five-year anniversary of the release of Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns in Europe
and Kate has some fond memories of a certain character..
I've played almost every Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons game
and what I've learned from those hundreds of hours of playtime is that all of them
My all-time favourites of the series still hold a place in my heart: Story of Seasons' Raeger, a sweet and handsome chef; A New Beginning's shy assistant to the prince, Sanjay; and Will, the polite gentleman who lives on a boat in Sunshine Islands
I guess you could say I like the nice guys
But of all of these, my number one will always be the muscular, blue-haired carpenter Ludus from Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns — a game which I bought exactly five years ago today when it was released in Europe
As is traditional in all Story of Seasons games
Trio of Towns has its marriage candidates appear slowly as you develop your farm and your friendships
the later characters are more interesting than the ones available from the start
and Trio of Towns' harder-to-get romantic prospects include a pink-haired festival host
a man who is always inside of a dog mascot costume
he's not even hard to woo — his preferred gifts include literal twigs
Ludus — a blue-haired resident of Lulukoko
a Hawaiian-themed tropical beach town — is not one of these hard-to-get spouses
He appears at the start of the player's third week in the game
and he's not even hard to woo — his preferred gifts include literal twigs
looking-up-from-under-his-eyebrows thing going on
His cutscenes early on often revolve around him secretly thinking you're cute
and getting a little flustered if you show interest
because he's trying to hide his own feelings in order to not make you uncomfortable
It's hard to portray romance and affection in dialogue that is constrained by a number of factors
I actually do a fair bit of video game writing myself
outside of my job here at Nintendo Life — and one of my current projects involves writing dates for dateable characters in a farm and life sim
So it may not be much of a surprise that I think about this kind of writing a lot
not least of which is the size of the text box
It's even harder to build up a portrait of an entire relationship in just a handful of cutscenes — of course
sweet-yet-shy cutscenes convey a lot with a little
which is the goal of any writer with limited resources
He is able to tell you about his insecurities and fears
and his pre-existing relationships all at once
He messes up by letting those insecurities get to him
but it all works out in the end — and he works through it with you
which is something you don't get to see much in these pretty PG games
It helps that Trio of Towns is also just better written than many other Story of Seasons games
and their friendship and romance scenes are genuine and heartwarming
Very few Story of Seasons games actually make me feel like an important part of a town's ecosystem
because I'm usually just "the farm weirdo"
or the person that literally builds everyone else's houses and keeps the economy going for no thanks whatsoever
the three titular towns exist before you even get there
and they're doing just fine without your help
you actually have living parents who move away without you
rather than having a dead relative gift you a farm
and your goal is to prove to your parents that farming is a viable career choice
you can help those towns flourish by revitalising the economy
but that's mostly just so you can buy more stuff from their shops
It's a shame that no Story of Seasons game since has succeeded in doing things differently
Ludus was actually resurrected for the Pioneers of Olive Town DLC
which makes it an excellent point of comparison — is he anything like the original
And how have things changed between the two games
[ToT] proved that the series could be brilliant and surprising
including nods to its history and players' expectations without being weighed down by tradition
I know I harp on about the failures of the Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games a lot
but it's because of games like Trio of Towns — games that proved that the series could be brilliant and surprising
It's been a long time since I've cared about one of the bachelors in the way that I did about Ludus five years ago — and while a not-insignificant part of that is down to the latest game, Pioneers of Olive Town, doing away with the emotive character portraits in favour of 3D models
I imagine that it's also down to the usual culprits of reduced budget and tighter deadlines
As I said before — it's hard to make something great when you're under the pressures of time and money
It feels like a fairly massive step from the immersive, vibrant world of Trio of Towns in 2017 to the pared-back Pioneers of Olive Town in 2021, but remakes aside, that's what the Story of Seasons series has looked like for the past five years — and the next game, A Wonderful Life, is also a remake, this time of the beloved GameCube game
Don't get me wrong — this next remake looks pretty good
and A Wonderful Life was a really lovely game
but I have to wonder what was lost after Trio of Towns..
What was the last Story of Seasons bachelor or bachelorette that you really liked
Tell us all your farmy/romantic thoughts in the comments below
you can now find Kate's writing all over the internet
Her latest projects include writing for Moonstone Island
and sometimes they are about cows and crabs
The pilot of the name change and it's sequel
Every game after has been a much lower quality
Don't know why they dropped the anime aesthetic with actually well written characters for the chibi lifeless drones where you get lucky if you see two separate pieces of text from any given character
I find the series kind of frustrating in that I absolutely love 64
and also at the time really enjoyed A Wonderful Life
and Magical Melody though it's been awhile since I've really played any of those ones
and I continually keep coming back to those three over and over and over throughout the years
but really no farming game ever since has scratched the same itch for me with the exception of the FoMT remake
it's like post-DS (and really even that has its issues
mostly how grindy and how absurdly glitchy it is plus the pointless DS gimmick integration) the series just hit a hard wall and nothing since has really landed right with me
really dislike Stardew Valley it kind of just leaves me endlessly replaying the same few old games while not really having any new ones
I married Inari since that was the closest I could get to a lesbian option (SoS ToT cheated by saying the character is opposite your character but since the ingame model looks the same I could ignore that quirk)
As usual I pretty much avoided the male options
So I know/remember nothing about any of them
In fact I’ve spoken to them more now than before… Due to Olive Town (since I am married with a daughter to Laura)
The thirst in this article is hilarious for me though as I can’t relate at all
Looks like every other bland/boring bishounen type to me
I’m very glad we are seeing more and more of a diverse casting now
DS was usually Lumina or Celia although they’re basically kids in that game due to the art style so it felt a bit creepy
Tale of Two Towns was a toss up between Reina and Nori but for bachelors I’d usually pick Kana
Rune Factory 4 had loads of great characters for male and female options so for bachelorettes I picked the genuinely adorable Clorica and for bachelors I picked Leon as he’s a flirty himbo and fit well with a gay character
I did like Iris (from SoS) in Olive town though
Her personality seems to have made the jump mostly intact
I din't know what it was about Trio of Towns
but that game just completely failed to grab me
I enjoyed A New Beginning and the first Story of Seasons a lot
but even after two seasons I felt nothing about the characters or story
@Anti-Matter it’s Reyn!😂
because I wanted to try playing the game from the female perspective
I also went with a brown-skinned avatar with purple hair
which ended up being weird because your character icon (what you look like on the mini-map) looked nothing like her
Plus interacting with your family is weird
like no one mentions that you're either adopted or a total gyaru
so I tried to 'customize' as much as I could
but I tried customizing 'important dates' in an effort to be weird
I attempted to force the wedding date to fall on my birthday
Then I attempted to force our child's birthday to my birthday
and while the game will let you try to do that (and with Ludus' 'kid initiation event' requiring some timing
all the villagers start saying different things to you
During the two days my avatar was 'overdue'
all the villagers stopped talking about the imminent baby
I hope we get back to A New Beginning's style of village creation
I had a lot of fun with that one back in the day
the bachelor's of Olive ztown all looked like generic background NPCs and personally i kept getting them confused with the tourist npcs
Personally the last good boy was Griffin DS Cute he's such a sweetheart
But frankly most HM/SoS bachelor's look like children and all share the same body type
I’ve been loving the Harvest Moon series ever since the first game released on the SNES
In 2014 Swedish Video Game Vlog GamingGrannar did a showcase of my Harvest Moon collection on YouTube
That was by the time the series had already started to spiral downwards
After I’ve tried Stardew Valley I ceased collecting the games
since it felt like either Natsume or Marvelous even tried to make the new entries any better
it is with great interest I follow the releases of the multitude of Farming Sims in development
But I guess I won’t have the opportunity to dwell deep into these games as I used to
since my IRL farming adventure now has taken off
But I guess I wouldn’t have this kind of life if I hadn’t drawn inspiration from Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons to begin with

This week, Midas Games received a $1 million Pre-Seed investment in a round led by Ludus Ventures
Midas Games develops skill-based and competitive games
who bring experience in mobile game development
After achieving a whopping 25 million downloads together at Gigantic Games
the team decided to join forces as Midas Games
CTO Fatih Karadeniz previously led the creation of the first internet branches of stock exchange brokerage houses and the development of the technical infrastructure of Turkey's largest Mobile Marketing platform
co-founder CEO Selçuk Korateş worked at Rollic
"We aim to give our players the best gaming experience by rewarding skill
We are very aware of the market's potential
We are at the beginning of a period when the gaming industry will undergo many changes
The factor that will make this potential real will be the power of the team and innovative approach
We have built our team on this scale and will use our industry experience to develop scalable games and reach millions of people in this market which is developing globally
ensuring that our focus remains solely on game development and adding momentum to our business
We are happy to cooperate with Ludus to achieve our goals."
Ludus Ventures announced its second fund as a Turkish VCIF with “Tera Portföy” early this year
The investment in Midas Games is its first this year
we are excited to make the first investment of our second fund in Midas
The company raises the Turkish game industry's prominence in the international market
strengthening its young and dynamic team structure with experienced members with whom we had the opportunity to work on different projects in previous years."
We support its adventure to bring its innovative ideas to game lovers worldwide.”
Midas Games aims to release its first games in the second half of 2024
Ludus love is like your hair in the wind; it's like blushed cheeks and celebrations; it's easygoing
It's the type of love that's like a vacation
exciting adventure free of all commitments
The Ancient Greeks knew a great deal about the subject of love — they had Plato
who pretty much has a kind of love in his name
so we can trust the Greeks when it comes to giving our feelings the appropriate labels
The word "Ludus" is a Latin word that translates to "game," and that is what Ludus love is all about; it is simply a game
It has the thrill and excitement of a game
it best describes that crush-like phase in a relationship when everything seems young
Ludus love is what we feel at the beginning of a relationship
the so-called honeymoon phase in which you can't escape each other
and you might feel as if you're really in love
Since it takes time to fall in love with someone
even though it might feel like the real deal
you might just be having a case of Ludus love
But this doesn't mean Ludus love is the only possible type of love you can feel in this phase
If you're the type to dive right into the emotional stuff in a relationship
you're probably skipping the exclusive Ludus love phase altogether
if you pass the exclusively Ludus love era
you might find yourself in the pragma love stage
if you're feeling the love early on in your relationship
Does everything they tell you sound like the most interesting thing ever
Do you find yourself laughing at every joke they crack
The "not having to think too much" component makes Ludus love so fun and exciting
You don't have to draw up plans on what your future will look like or try to figure out what your partner's red flags are
The fun part comes from all the energy you can afford to give at this stage of the relationship; since you don't have to delve into serious topics like marriage and kids
you're allowed to concentrate all your energy on playing around and having fun
If you find yourself choking on the words "boyfriend" or "girlfriend," and no matter how much fun you're having with them
what you're feeling might just be Ludus love
Nothing seems to be out of bounds in the game that is Ludus love; hence the probability of you getting ghosted is pretty high
but if Ludus love is truly the only thing you're feeling
it won't hurt as much if they decide to leave
This unsure territory of Ludus love makes it all the more electrifying and exciting
Ludus love is all about living in the present
Making plans for the future and all the other "boring" stuff that comes with commitment is not on the Ludus love agenda
if you like them for all the fun and not all the commitment
The passionate and exhilarating feelings of youthful love are what Ludus love is all about
this does not mean you're legally required to be young to feel the intoxicating effects of Ludus love
You can be 50 and have your fair share of summer flings
you are likely not burdened with responsibilities
and everything else becomes secondary; when this is the case
and the flirting-to-commitment ratios are way off
it's most likely your relationships begin with Ludus love
flirty beginnings make fantastic love stories
and the romance levels are probably off the charts
And we don't only mean the "I can fart around them" kind of relaxed; we're talking about the emotional comfort that long-term partners provide
If the answer is "no," you probably are experiencing Ludus love
Being your authentic self around a romantic partner and the ability to be vulnerable around them develops with time — it cannot be achieved with Ludus love alone
if you can't tell if it's Ludus love you're feeling or pragma love
Emotional vulnerability shows a more profound sense of connection that surpasses the child-like quality of Ludus love
if you feel like you're not yourself around them and are in that early stage of the relationship where everybody's on their best behavior
Ludus love might just be what you're feeling
Seeing them with someone else will hurt your heart a little bit
This is what we mean when we say you're attached but not quite
Ludus love is meant to be a game, a play, it's mischievous, and it's neither here nor there; hence you're neither attached nor detached. Since this kind of love has no commitments, emotional connections
And the emptiness you might feel if and once you break it off could be due to your attachment to the fun you had
the next time you find yourself indifferent to your lover leaving you or breaking things off
you can file those feelings under Ludus love
This stage of the relationship doesn't last long
when feelings of this kind run their course
many end it with that partner and look for Ludus love elsewhere
If you are not looking to settle down in the near future and if serial dating is your forte
falling in and out of Ludus love shouldn't be a problem for you
The thing about Ludus love is that it's not limited to the initial stages of your relationship
If you want to keep the flirtations going or don't want to let the playful teasing and the romantic games go away
you can integrate them into your long-term relationship
now you can have the best of both worlds: an honest and committed connection with someone that's also fun and exciting

asymmetrical multiplayer game that puts the Evil Dead license to good use
especially if you’re already a fan of the franchise
To say I’m a fan of Evil Dead would be an understatement
Evil Dead 2 is my second favorite movie (Back to the Future will always be #1,) and I put a gross amount of time into Poker Night at the Inventory 2 primarily because Ash was in it
I’m not particularly experienced with asymmetrical multiplayer games
so I wasn’t sure how I’d enjoy Evil Dead: The Game
it’s an overall strong use of the Evil Dead series
with a bunch of hostile NPCs to assist the demon
you need to go through a series of steps in order to seal the demon and its ilk back in the Necronomicon
while the demon attempts to stop this at every turn
It’s a concept that makes sense with Evil Dead and works pretty well for the core gameplay loop
The tutorials are straightforward and easy to complete too
which is always a plus when there are as many things to learn as there are in this game
Evil Dead: The Game does feel unbalanced though
as survivors seem to have an edge against the demons inherently because of how much easier their objective is
but my teams rarely struggled outside of the closing stretch
and I hope they get some buffs in the future
and quip from Ash and his fellow survivors are top-notch.“
The survivors each have their own role to play
though there’s a different Ash for each class if you’re deadset on playing as the best protagonist in horror
You’ll primarily be sticking together as a team to help keep your fear meter down
as being on your own in the dark increases it very quickly and impedes your progress
you’ll be defending objects like the Kandarian Dagger or the Necronomicon Ex Mortis by slashing away at monsters with melee attacks
meaning you’ll likely save those for desperate moments or the closing stretch
the demon comes in one of a few different classes
you might lean more towards the manipulative puppeteer Eligos or the minion-summoning Evil Ash
but the way the different demons play is at least very enjoyable
Setting traps and possessing people to mess with the team is a blast
and feels very in-line with Evil Dead as a whole
The single-player missions are on the rougher side of things
as enemies do a lot of nigh-unavoidable damage – more than you can heal
and the missions are just long enough to make that very annoying
The fact that things like characters are locked behind completing these missions makes it even worse
so I really hope that the single-player side of things gets a good glow-up in the coming weeks
Evil Dead: The Game absolutely nails it on all fronts
There’s a pervasive eeriness that adds to the dark and foreboding atmosphere
and you can tell that a lot of love for Sam Raimi and his franchise went into it
The way you move in the first-person as a demon looks straight out of the film
and there’s nothing quite like getting violently puked on by a demon to cement the fact that this is an Evil Dead game
and quip from Ash and his fellow survivors are top-notch
Bruce Campbell in particular is always a highlight to listen to
and I hope to hear him as Ash in future games for as many years as he’s willing to do it

Night Fision has announced the release of new handgun night sights designed in collaboration with the renowned firearms instructor Chris Costa and named after his company, Costa Ludus
The Night Fision Costa Ludus sights are designed for Glock pistols and are compatible with the following models: 17
with two rear sight sizes and three front sight ring color options
there are six possible combinations of the Night Fision Costa Ludus sights
The Night Fision press release quotes Jacob Herman
who said: “Working with Chris to develop these sights has been a great experience
and we are happy we could execute his vision“
They also quote Chris Costa who added: “Night Fision exceeded my expectations in creating sights to my exact specifications
I am very impressed with their innovation and the quality of their products
The MSRP of Night Fision Costa Ludus night sights is $110
The price is identical for all the size and color combinations
These sights are backed by Night Fision’s 16-year warranty
More by Hrachya H
In order to avoid shooting too high or too low
they require judging how far the horizontal line sits beneath the circle on top
in the dark you won't be able to see if the top of the front sight is level with the top of the rear sight
so you'll have to rely on judging the distance between that horizontal line and the bottom of the circle above it
it's easy to see at a glance if the dots are all level with each other
in which case you know your gun isn't tilted up or down
And it's easy enough to see if the middle dot is centered between the outer two dots as well
but the vertical part of the front sight popped off when a gunsmith was installing it--it was a very light tap
and you could see it looked like the front vertical part is just glued on a stem to the base
He was amazed--said he had never broken a front sight before
and the best they could do was offer a 20% off coupon for their website
Later I realized that I still paid more than if I'd bought the front sight at an online retailer
Night Fision.Now the packaging tells you to be very careful installing them as the fronts break off so easily
These are more fragile than plastic Glock sights in my experience
The London-based esports organization is now majority-owned by the digital sports investment firm

A joint announcement said that Ludus Gaming “will be exploring further sponsorship opportunities

I’m confident we have the right ingredients to fulfill the potential that LDN UTD has shown over the last few years
which has been tough to drive forward from an investment perspective in a challenging economic climate
Gee added: “We explored lots of acquisitions including other esports organizations but working alongside Olly [Weingarten] and the LDN UTD team we knew this would be the perfect fit for our team; leveraging our skills in building long-term commercial partnerships and growing brands
We can’t wait to begin the transformation into a global esports
and development community and explore deploying the LDN UTD model worldwide.”
Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard
Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis
a development studio for non-fungible token (NFT) content and games
LDN UTD has said that the Camden Centre of Excellence initiative will carry on after the takeover
and that will “continue to host regular community events
provide a home for content creators and upcoming streamers
and be a hub for LDN UTD’s education initiative …”
