Podcasts about cities skylines

Like many of us, the urban planning strategy game "SimCity" was an obsession for Diana Regen growing up. When she published YouTube videos about a modern incarnation -- "Cities: Skylines" and its sequel -- she grew a loyal audience around the games. But she was more interested in using these sims for social commentary about urban design, capitalism, politics, and absurdist online culture. One problem: Her audience HATED it. That is until one of her TikToks about corporate cities went viral and inspired her to return to YouTube to expand the work into robust video essays. These days, Diana works full time as a video creator, covering a wide range of topics and painting with all sorts of surrealist brushes: video games, travel videos, memes, archival footage, and AI-generated voices of historical figures saying the darndest things. Diana sits down with Matt to discuss her singular creative style and how she overcame the limitations of social video platforms that only reward you for doing the same things over and over.

Im Vorjahr jagte eine Paradox-Hiobsbotschaft die nächste: Eingestellte Spiele, geschlossene Studios, kaputte Releases. Hat sich die Lage jetzt verbessert - oder gar verschlimmert?

On this episode of The GAP Luke Lawrie and Joab Gilroy talk about Predator: Badlands and how Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 isn't on their list right now. The games they've been playing this week include Deadpool VR, ARC Raiders, Megabonk, and The Seance of Blake Manor. They also talk about Double Fine's The Making of Keeper video. In the news, Valve has showcased new hardware (but still no Half-Life 3), Ubisoft abruptly postponed its earnings call amid buyout speculation, The Game Awards nominees have been announced, and Cities: Skylines 2 is shifting to a new development team.

“Why are so many trans people into urban planning?” That's the question independent journalist and co-host of the Cancel Me, Daddy podcast Katelyn Burns asked her Bluesky followers, and she got an overwhelming response. Katelyn wrote up some of those answers in a recent piece on The Flytrap, the feminist media outlet she recently co-founded and launched. It's a thought-provoking read. We talked with Katelyn about the safety that trans people can find in dense cities, the “trans on trains” meme, and what the game Cities: Skylines has to do with all of this. And she discusses how the trans perspective can illuminate problems and solutions within urban systems. ***Our new book, Life After Cars, will be published on October 21, 2025 by Thesis, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Pre-order now.*** Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive exclusive access to ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content, Discord access, invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers!

If you've played Rollercoaster Tycoon, Cities: Skylines, the Civilization series—even Animal Crossing—you're probably familiar with this gameplay pattern: extract some kind of resource from the land, industrialize it into a theme park or a city, and (step three) profit, ad infinitum. But Terra Nil, a new game from the studio Free Lives, fundamentally challenges this oft-used game loop. Instead of maximizing profit at the expense of the local ecosystem, the player's focus is to make a healthier, natural landscape instead. You start with a barren wasteland (one that you assume has been completely desolated by human activity, perhaps the aftermath from one of the previously mentioned games), and with the help of advanced eco-tech—like wind turbines, soil purifiers, irrigators, and more—restore it to a thriving, diverse ecosystem. The player's ultimate goal is to take all the tech they used to restore the land, recycle it into an airship, and fly away, leaving no human presence behind.SciFri producer Dee Peterschmidt speaks with Sam Alfred, the lead designer and programmer of Terra Nil, about how Free Lives designed this “reverse city-builder,” how the studio took inspiration from the flora of their local Cape Town, and how he hopes the game challenges players how they think about traditional gameplay systems and their effect on our world.Universe of Art is hosted and produced by Dee Peterschmidt, who also wrote the music. Our show art is illustrated by Abelle Hayford. And support for Science Friday's science and arts coverage comes from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.Do you have science-inspired art you'd like to share with us for a future episode? Send us an email or a voice memo to universe@sciencefriday.com.

Seit Release hat Micha knapp 600 Stunden in Cities: Skylines 2 verbracht - allen Bugs und Problemen zum Trotz. Was ihm daran Spaß macht - und warum das Spiel jetzt deutlich besser ist.

We're back after a month hiatus (or more depending when I finally finish editing the podcast) with tons to talk about. Happy Belated Anniversary 10th Anniversary to Cities Skylines, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Helldivers. Happy Belated 20th Anniversary to Gran Turismo 4, Star Wars Republic Commando, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Phantom Dust.And arguably the best baseball game ever MVP Baseball 2005. (I blame Daniel for no highlighting it being a non sports fan).

GameStar-Autor Reiner Hauser hat mit den Schweden gesprochen und diskutiert mit den Strategiespiel-Heroen Maurice Weber, Steinwallen und RangerArea über seine Erkenntnisse und die Probleme von Paradox.

On this week's episode of the PixelPlay Podcast, Adam and Chris talk about the flurry of games they've been playing in the last 7 days and then go over a story about Cities Skylines developer Paradox talking about gamers having high expectations these days for games to be out on Day 1 in a very technically sound state. They talk about what the line is to them for an acceptable release in terms of bugs and such, and whether or not we as gamers expect too high a standard on game releases. Join Kaylan, Adam and Chris as they delve into the big news stories in the gaming industry, as well as gush and rant about the past, present and future in video games! https://linktr.ee/pixelplaypodcast Join us in our Discord! - https://discord.gg/j2bN8YCmXK Want to send us a mail to be read on future podcasts?

After years of conversation on the topic, Xbox has finally made long anticipated adjustments to its popular subscription service. Day one Game Pass games are gone from its standard tier and all have seen a price hike. The conversation naturally navigates itself to the "why" in this situation. All subscription services go up whether it's Netflix, Disney+, or Spotify. Is it because of Black Ops 6 impending? Is Day One Game Pass hurting Xbox? Is $20 enough to stop any form of bleeding with that in mind? Are they extracting maximum value from the service at its peak? Are they setting a newer, higher standard for the batch of new subscribers that will join with the launch of a new Call Of Duty game? There's many ways for us to assess, so we'll comb through all of them carefully! Furthermore, we have details on Hellblade 2's performance on the market. From sales to engagement, there are question marks about what this game has done for the platform, so the Dukes dissect what information Circana has provided on that matter. Plus more on Banjo Kazooie, LEGO Horizon on Xbox, the questionable Fire Stick TV ad, Bioshock updates, Dragon Age: Veilguard romance options, and plenty more!

Well, GamePass is getting a price hike, but are you surprised? Inside Out 2 keeps raking it in, movies are so back! Kevin Feige had to explain a certain act to MCU execs for a Deadpool joke. Meanwhile, the Horizon Zero Dawn show is dead at Netflix. Also Gladiator II and Agatha All Along get trailers that do not dispel any confusion, Palworld wants to expand beyond gaming, and Nintendo goes off brand. Plus, Shrek 5 is official now, Temuera wants to steal an episode of the Mandalorian and Norman Reedus plans for more Darryl Dixon. Then, a Beverly Hills Cop review to wrap it all up. RIP Rhaenys.

Summer Tour continues with Matt and EJ talking about their shared interest in more simulation games! We've reveled in the bygone days of Roller Coaster Tycoon, now listen as we talk about the modern era with Cities: Skylines. This game is perhaps more relaxing just to watch than it is to play and THAT'S OKAY. It can still be one of your favorite games even if you've never played more than 5 hours of it yourself...

I will be once again hosting at Summer Games Done Quick 2024! Check out my schedule to see what I'm hosting on Day 1 and Day 3 of the event! VRChat has laid off 30% of their team due to incorrect staffing and the inability to scale. Cities: Skylines 2 had to remove virtual landlords from the game because it made the rent in game too high. The new Call of Duty is NOT 308GB after all - that's only if you literally install every version of COD included. Then we talk to Rob about Twitch adding super reactions and why you shouldn't give us $100 just to make emotes appear.

HI Peanut! Boy was that Deadpool and Wolverine trailer just glorious. Just inject it straight into my corneas. Also, Embracer group was apparently not too big to fail, as they are splitting into 3 sperate companies. Meta announces new partnerships for the quest, and a price drop for the Quest 2. Jack Black is unsurprisingly playing Steve in the Minecraft movie, Sony wants to buy Paramount, and Zoolander 2 was a wake up call for Ben Stiller. That and more, come take a listen.

City Simulators, such as SimCity and Cities: Skylines are very popular, both among gamers and the general public. But these are just games: they don't accurately model real cities, and that can result in misleading assumptions about what a city is, and how it functions.Cities by Diana: https://www.youtube.com/@CitiesByDianaNot Just Bikes: https://nebula.tv/notjustbikesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

An Open Letter Asks AI Researchers To Reconsider Responsibilities In recent months, it's been hard to escape hearing about artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT, the AI-enabled version of Bing, and Google's Bard—large language models skilled at manipulating words and constructing text. The programs can conduct a believable conversation and answer questions fluently, but have a tenuous grasp on what's real, and what's not. Last week, the Future of Life Institute released an open letter that read “We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.” They asked researchers to jointly develop and implement a set of shared safety protocols governing the use of AI. That letter was signed by a collection of technologists and computer researchers, including big names like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Tesla's Elon Musk. However, some observers called the letter just another round of hype over the AI field. Dr. Stuart Russell, a professor of computer science at Berkeley, director of the Kavli Center for Ethics, Science, and the Public, and co-author of one of the leading AI textbooks was a signatory to that open letter calling for a pause in AI development. He joins Ira Flatow to explain his concerns about AI systems that are ‘black boxes'—difficult for humans to understand or control.   NASA Announces Artemis II Crew For Next Moon Mission This week, NASA announced the four person crew of the Artemis II mission to the moon: Commander Reid Weisman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen. The crew has three firsts for a moon mission, the first woman, first person of color and first Canadian. While these Artemis II astronauts will not actually step foot on the moon, it's an important milestone for NASA's first moon mission since Apollo. Ira talks with Swapna Krishna, host of the PBS digital series, Far Out about this week's announcement and the future of the Artemis mission.   Will Rising Temperatures Help Batters Swing for the Bleachers? As the planet warms, melting ice and shifting seasons aren't the only things changing—the traditions of baseball may be affected as well. A report published this week in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society finds that warmer air temperatures are connected to a slight increase in the number of home runs hit in major league baseball. The effect, the researchers say, is due to a decrease in air density at warmer temperatures, which allows a hit ball to fly slightly further than it would in cooler air. So far, the effect is small. After correcting for other factors, the researchers say they can attribute about 500 additional MLB home runs since 2010 to warmer temperatures. Most of the observed increase in home run hitting isn't attributable to the climate. However, they say, each additional one degree Celsius increase in temperature may lead to a two percent increase in home runs. And while ballparks with an insulating dome won't see big shifts from increased temperatures, open-air parks with a lot of daytime games, such as Wrigley Field, will see more significant effects. Christopher Callahan, a Ph.D. candidate in geography at Dartmouth and lead author of the report, joins Ira to talk baseball and climate.   This Video Game Prioritizes Restoring An Ecosystem Over Profits If you've played Rollercoaster Tycoon, Cities: Skylines, the Civilization series—even Animal Crossing—you're probably familiar with this gameplay pattern: extract some kind of resource from the land, industrialize it into a theme park or a city, and (step three) profit, ad infinitum. But Terra Nil, a new game from the studio Free Lives, fundamentally challenges this oft-used game loop. Instead of maximizing profit at the expense of the local ecosystem, the player's focus is to make a healthier, natural one instead. You start with a barren wasteland (one that you assume has been completely desolated by human activity, perhaps the aftermath from one of the previously mentioned games), and with the help of advanced eco-tech—like wind turbines, soil purifiers, irrigators, and more—restore it to a thriving, diverse ecosystem. The player's ultimate goal is to take all the tech they used to restore the land, recycle it into an airship, and fly away, leaving no human presence behind. SciFri producer D Peterschmidt speaks with Sam Alfred, the lead designer and programmer of Terra Nil, about how Free Lives designed this “reverse city-builder,” how the studio took inspiration from the flora of their local Cape Town, and how he hopes the game challenges players how they think about traditional gameplay systems and their effect on our world.     Workout Worms May Reveal New Parkinson's Treatments Scientists built an exercise pool for tiny worms. Why? A team of researchers at University of Colorado Boulder are looking into ways to help treat people with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. They're turning to tiny collaborators, C. elegans, worms which measure just one millimeter in length. These scientists wanted to see how exercise affects brain health by putting a bunch of these worms in an exercise class—in a tiny pool. Ira talks with the co-author of this fascinating new research, Dr. Joyita Bhadra, post-doctoral researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
