Star Trek: Picard Season 1 Review – All Good Things

Star Trek: Picard's best aspect is also its biggest issue: It has one foot firmly in the past of the long-running sci-fi franchise, and another in a more modern, darker present. The show is a big, fan-servicey return to the story of legendary Starfleet captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), complete with visits from a few beloved characters along the way, and no end of Easter eggs and references that often feel like high-fives to the dedicated viewers who've been enjoying the sci-fi franchise for decades, especially in the mid-1990s.

The internet changed gaming forever. How’s player support keeping up?

“Gaming has changed,” I thought to myself as I slowly maneuvered past the young cosplayers crowding the halls at Gamescom, the largest gaming conference in Europe for players and industry professionals.I thought back to my childhood, and the games I grew up with. Mario and Sonic were still present, I could still find Street Fighter and Fallout merchandise, and FIFA 20 was, somewhat expectedly, huge. But that was pretty much it — the gaming universe I used to know, tucked in between massive displays of games I’ve never heard of.

If you’re wondering if I’m a gamer, I’m not.I don’t play video games every day, I don’t crowd my mobile phone with gaming apps, belong to any gaming community, I’m not even that good at them! However, from time to time, I do play a game or two.

The idea was for us to spend a different kind of weekend together, just the two of us, playing GTA.Little

How Artificial Intelligence is changing the gaming industry

Artificial intelligence (AI) in gaming isn’t a recent innovation. As early as 1949, mathematician and cryptographer Claude Shannon pondered a one-player chess game, in which humans would compete against a computer.Indeed, gaming has been a key engine of AI, and a proving ground for the simulations, constructed environments and tests of realism that are the foundation of virtual experiences.AI for the gaming experienceIn 1989’s Sim City, for example, players controlled complex simulations, and rudimentary gaming AI was deployed to simulate something close to realism – i.e. deeply human characteristics like unpredictability.
