In dieser Episode des Brettspiel News Talk reisen wir gemeinsam mit unserem Gast Marc, dem Geschäftsführer von Treecer, tief in die Welt von "Rewild South America". Dies ist ein Spiel, das nicht nur die Spieler in die ökologischen Herausforderungen der Natur einführt, sondern auch ein starkes Bewusstsein für Biodiversität fördert. Marc gibt uns einen tiefen Einblick in die Entwicklung des Spiels, das bereits erfolgreich über Kickstarter finanziert wurde und sich durch seine herausragende Gestaltung und durchdachte Spielmechanik auszeichnet. Das Spiel dreht sich darum, vom Menschen verwüstete Landschaften wiederherzustellen. Die Spieler rekultivieren verschiedene Biome, wie Regenwälder und Grasland, und versuchen, tierische Bewohner in Form von Karten anzulocken. Marc beschreibt, wie die Spieler dabei strategisch vorgehen müssen, um die besten Synergien zwischen Tieren und Pflanzen zu schaffen, wobei jeder Zug zu einem spannenden Denkspiel wird, in dem es darum geht, Ressourcen effizient zu nutzen und Punkte zu sammeln. In einem ausführlichen Dialog mit den Brettspiel-News-Redakteuren Thomas, Justin und Johanna diskutieren wir die zahlreichen Mechaniken und Strategien, die "Rewild South America" auszeichnen. Die Gäste teilen ihre Erlebnisse und Eindrücke aus ersten Partien, wobei sie den taktischen Charakter des Spiels und die vielen Entscheidungsfaktoren hervorheben. Marc erläutert, wie wichtig es beim Spiel ist, flexibel auf die Gegebenheiten auf dem Tisch zu reagieren und sich nicht zu sehr auf eine fixe Strategie zu verlassen. Ein weiterer spannender Punkt ist die besondere Liebe zum Detail in der Artwork-Gestaltung, die stark an Studio Ghibli erinnert. Marc erklärt, dass die visuellen Elemente des Spiels nicht nur ästhetisch ansprechend sind, sondern auch dazu dienen, das Thema des Spiels zu unterstreichen und das Engagement für den Naturschutz zu fördern. Diese kreative Herangehensweise bringt nicht nur die Schönheit der Natur zur Geltung, sondern vermittelt auch die tiefere Botschaft hinter der Spielerfahrung. Wir erfahren auch, wie Marc und sein Team an die Balance der Karten herangegangen sind, um eine faire und unterhaltsame Spielerfahrung zu gewährleisten. Trotz aller mathematischen Berechnungen und Playtests bleibt jedes Spiel einzigartig und nimmt durch die Interaktion der Spieler immer wieder neue Wendungen an. Marc gewährleistet, dass auch für weniger erfahrene Spieler genügend Zugang zum Gameplay vorhanden ist und jeder seine Freude am Spiel finden kann. Abschließend wird ein Ausblick auf zukünftige Projekte gegeben, einschließlich geplanter Erweiterungen und der Möglichkeit, "Rewild South America" im Einzelhandel zu erwerben. Der Late-Pledge für die Kickstarter-Kampagne bleibt zudem offen, was den Interessierten ermöglicht, sich noch anzuschließen. In dieser Episode wird klar, dass "Rewild South America" nicht nur ein Spiel, sondern auch eine Einladung ist, die Wunder der Natur neu zu entdecken und sich aktiv mit den Themen Umwelt und Nachhaltigkeit auseinanderzusetzen.Hier geht es zur Kampagnen-SeiteDiscord Link des Verlags: https://discord.com/invite/rzyDM82PKgTabletop-Simulator auf Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3442464092Euer FeedbackIhr habt Feedback zu dem Podcast und Themen- oder Gastwünsche?

Read transcriptBelieve it or not, ninja enthusiasts, this week on Play Comics we're kunai-diving into the pixelated shinobi wasteland that is Naruto: Ninja Council for the Game Boy Advance – because apparently someone at Tomy thought the best way to honor everyone's favorite orange-clad ramen addict was to trap him in a handheld prison with combat mechanics more frustrating than trying to explain the Chunin Exams to your grandmother. Released in 2003, this side-scrolling “adventure” promised to let players master the art of ninjutsu while battling through iconic locations from the Hidden Leaf Village, but what it actually delivered was a gaming experience so repetitive that even Naruto's shadow clone jutsu would get bored of itself. Joining us for this digital journey through the Land of Mediocre Adaptations is Luke Herr from D'ohMance Dawn – a man who's witnessed more anime-to-game train wrecks than a rejected Akatsuki recruitment video. Together, we'll explore how this GBA “masterpiece” managed to spawn not one, not two, but THREE sequels despite having the gameplay depth of a puddle in the desert and graphics that make early Dragon Ball Z filler episodes look like Studio Ghibli productions. So grab your headband and prepare for an episode that's more entertaining than actually grinding through the same three enemy types for hours on end – which, let's face it, isn't exactly setting the bar at Hokage level. Will this portable ninja adventure redeem itself through sheer nostalgic chakra, or will it vanish faster than Sasuke after a family reunion? Tune in to discover if this manga adaptation belongs in the Hall of Fame… or should be sealed away forever like the Nine-Tailed Fox! Learn such things as: Is it dangerous to have pretty eyes? Is all manga and anime just a giant metaphor for the horrible nature of man? Does a game being fun make it a good intro to the franchise? And so much more! You can find Luke over on D'OhMance Dawn, Exiled, Multiversal Q, and RPG Pals Club. Or catch him on BlueSky @koltreg or his Patreon, found under Luke Herr.

Analizamos las posturas de estudios como Crunchyroll y Cover Corp (Hololive), que apuestan por el talento humano, frente a otros que experimentan con la IA para eficiencia.También abordamos las recientes y duras acciones legales contra la piratería, incluyendo sitios de spoilers y plataformas de distribución ilegal, y el debate ético sobre el consumo de contenido pirata.Uno de los puntos más críticos es el impacto de la IA en el empleo creativo, especialmente para los nuevos talentos que podrían perder los puestos de entrada a la industria si las tareas básicas se automatizan. ¿Cómo afectará esto la formación de futuros animadores y artistas?Discutimos la urgencia de la regulación en Japón y comparamos su enfoque con la inversión de Corea del Sur y los modelos de generación de anime con IA de China (como Anisora de Bilibili). ¿Estamos ante un futuro de anime artesanal o uno masificado por algoritmos?Revivimos la polémica del falso comunicado de Studio Ghibli y el debate sobre la replicación de estilos artísticos con IA.Además, recapitulamos brevemente la cobertura de la CCXP y compartimos recomendaciones de streaming: Mikey 17 (HBO Max), Your Friends & Neighbors (Apple TV) y El Eternauta (Netflix).¿Cuál es tu postura sobre la IA en el anime? ¿Qué tipo de anime quieres apoyar y preservar? ¡Déjanos tus comentarios!

Though not technically a Miyazaki film, the gang believes that 2010's Arrietty belongs in his pantheon of works with Studio Ghibli nestled in between Ponyo and The Wind Rises, with thematic and artistic similarities to Miyazaki's more carefree films like My Neighbor Totoro. It's a film that leans heavily on Ghibli's masterful work with scenery, colors, and the whimsy of Arrietty's mini-world, but falters somewhat without a strong main (human) character in Shō (or Shawn) or a particularly strong emotional throughline. If you're like Marcus and enjoy a movie paced like a relaxed afternoon walk, then look no further than this magical Secret World. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

Feature: Bleak Week returns for Year 4, we talk to programmers behind the festival This year marks the 4th year of the American Cinematheque’s Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair, a weeklong festival dedicated to screening films with dark and bleak themes. In this year’s lineup, you’ll find screenings of Michael Haneke’s English adaptation of Funny Games, the Soviet anti-war film Come and See, and Studio Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata’s Grave of the Fireflies. You’ll also find that the Year 4 lineup includes introductions/Q&As with the likes of Bill Hader, Elliot Gould, and Brady Corbet. Outside of the usual festival screenings here in Los Angeles, the American Cinematheque has partnered with other arthouse theaters across the country, and even The Prince Charles Cinema in London. Joining us to discuss this year’s iteration of the festival is Chris LeMaire, lead programmer on the American Cinematheque’s Bleak Week, and Grant Moninger, American Cinematheque’s Artistic Director. We also have our critics, Charles Solomon, Claudia Puig and Peter Rainer, commenting on what about the festival has allowed it to garner interest. Bleak Week runs from June 1-7.

Neste episódio do podcast da Nova Acrópole, os professores Danilo Gomes e Tales Freitas analisam as mensagens simbólicas e os ensinamentos presentes nas animações do renomado estúdio japonês, que encantam pessoas de todas as idades ao redor do mundo. Ao longo da conversa, são exploradas as virtudes cultivadas pelos personagens — como a coragem, o heroísmo e a pureza — que, ao enfrentarem desafios e adversidades, tornam-se versões melhores de si mesmos. As obras do Studio Ghibli nos convidam a perceber a dimensão mágica da existência, onde o real e o mistério se entrelaçam em tramas profundamente humanas. A simplicidade, traço marcante dessas produções, revela-se como um meio poderoso de transmitir valores universais de forma bela e tocante, oferecendo ao espectador uma experiência estética e filosófica transformadora.

El debate alrededor de la inteligencia artificial se instala en las escuelas de diseño, animación y fotografía de París. De la productividad a la sensibilidad artística, la comunidad educativa busca respuestas y garantías en cuanto a las salidas profesionales. ChatGPT, Midjourney y Firefly son solo algunos de los muchos nombres comerciales de la inteligencia artificial generativa (IAG), una tecnología que se nutre de datos, textos e imágenes para entrenar sus algoritmos y, a su vez, producir nuevos contenidos escritos y audiovisuales. Aunque el origen de la IA generativa se remonta a varias décadas atrás, el desarrollo exponencial durante los últimos años explica el debate acerca de sus límites éticos, su impacto ecológico y la creciente preocupación por su falta de regulación. Y también sobre la banalización del arte y el trabajo creativo.“Es un insulto a la vía misma”, declaró Hayao Miyazaki, fundador del famoso estudio de animación Studio Ghibli, tras la ola de imágenes inspiradas en el estilo de sus películas creadas con inteligencia artificial. Una opinión compartida por un sector de los estudiantes que aspiran a trabajar en dicha industria.Foco en la propiedad intelectual“Es regurgitar un montón de imágenes hechas por artistas a los que no han pedido su consentimiento. No tiene sentido”, se queja Lianne, estudiante en cine de animación en la escuela de Gobelins París. "Es ilegal, no pagan por los derechos de autor, ¡es un robo!", añade su compañera Laura. Sin una delimitación clara, la cuestión de la autoría sigue siendo confusa.“Es algo cada vez más presente en nuestro día a día y creo que irá a más”, opina Louane, que también cursa cine de animación en Gobelins. Prefiere no pensar en la inteligencia artificial porque le produce cierto estrés, “pero es verdad que hay que tenerlo en cuenta”, admite. “Si hacemos una formación tan reconocida como ésta es para encontrar trabajo después. Si la IA nos lo quita, es estúpido hacerla”, concluye.El diseño gráfico, ¿en peligro?Difícil obviar la cuestión. Según el último Informe sobre el Futuro de los Empleos del Foro Económico Mundial, publicado en enero de 2025, la automatización que la IA trae consigo supondrá la destrucción de 92 millones de puestos de trabajo para 2030, mientras que creará otros 170 millones. Entre las profesiones con una rápida tendencia de declive, según este informe, está el diseño gráfico.“Una compañera de trabajo que no tenía estudios en este ámbito hizo un logo con ChatGPT y pensó que así ya podría ser grafista. Me lo dijo como si mi trabajo fuese un fraude", cuenta Axelle, estudiante de la escuela de diseño LISAA.Útil para ganar tiempoPero la IA no es perfecta. Como cualquier otra herramienta, para los que se sirven de ella como tal, es necesario utilizarla correctamente para obtener los resultados deseados. "Te hace ganar mucho tiempo, pero hay que saber hacer un prompt (la orden que se le da a la IA para que responda con un texto, imagen o vídeo, NDLR) y seleccionar las imágenes correctas. Siempre hará falta un director artístico que la supervise”, asegura Noémie, también de la escuela LISAA. “Tengo un bagaje suficiente como para poder encontrar un empleo. No puedes no usarla solo por tener miedo a que te quite el trabajo."Algunos la usan porque la ven como una herramienta, otros la rechazan por motivos éticos o ecológicos, pero el debate alrededor de la inteligencia artificial roza incluso lo filosófico. "Mientras no tengas demasiado apego a las herramientas y mantengas tu independencia y tus ideas, me parece bien", dice Tony, alumno de diseño gráfico y animación en la escuela ECV, aventurándose a hacer el paralelismo con la película “Her” (Spike Jonze, 2013), donde el personaje interpretado por Joaquín Phoenix se enamora de una inteligencia artificial.“En la escuela usamos la IA para generar storyboards que luego convertimos en secuencias de video.”. Para él, la utilidad está en la fase de preproducción de los proyectos, donde asegura que le permite avanzar mucho más rápido.Priorizar la creatividad y la sensibilidadEl grado de permisión e incorporación de la IAG en los programas educativos depende de cada escuela, de cada departamento y de cada docente. “Nosotros incorporamos la IA desde el primer año de la formación. Los alumnos aprenden técnicas de fotografía analógica y digital, pero también el tratamiento de sus fotos con inteligencia artificial”, explica Yann Philippe, enseñante de fotografía y vídeo en Gobelins."No sentimos que nuestro trabajo esté directamente amenazado por la IA y creemos que, con un buen uso e inteligencia, puede potenciar la creatividad de algunos alumnos”. Son sorprendentemente los que ingresan con amplios conocimientos de IA generativa los menos interesados en trabajar con ella y más con el formato analógico y los procesos tradicionales, a diferencia de quienes no la han utilizado aún. “De todas formas, las herramientas avanzan a tal velocidad que cuando terminamos de preparar los cursos, ya están obsoletas."“Hice el curso de Midjourney de Gobelins, pero me interesa más la autenticidad”, confiesa Axel, alumno de fotografía, con su cámara Leica analógica colgada del hombro. “Con IA o sin IA, lo importante es la motivación y la sensibilidad que cada artista pone en sus proyectos.” Este precisamente lo que Yann Philippe busca desarrollar porque considera que “es ahí donde está su valor añadido”.La inteligencia artificial generativa avanza más rápido que el ritmo al que se da respuesta a las dudas y preguntas que ésta plantea, y se exige un marco normativo a la altura de los retos que conlleva. La Ley de Inteligencia Artificial de la Unión Europea, en vigor desde el 1 de agosto de 2024, es un primer paso, pero no parece suficiente. En el ámbito educativo, la UNESCO ha realizado una llamada urgente a los gobiernos de todo el mundo para que la regulen de manera eficaz.

Holy Ghost Hunter: Resurrecting the Dead (4/23/25)

The Secret Teachings

NASA and Oxford computer models reportedly have proven, with use of Biblical references, that Jesus died on Friday, April 3, 33AD. Of course there is no way to confirm the literal resurrection story. Regardless, the idea is that we can use modern technology to peer into the past as if we have a looking glass into time. Every Easter there is a general celebration of both nature and the resurrection of the savior Jesus. He is brought back in church services, households, and communities across the Christian and non-christian world alike. We do the same thing with artists, authors, and musicians. A new exhibition in Australia is now featuring a performance of music from a lab-grown brain made from the dead composer Alvin Lucien's blood. This is a step up from using AI to complete Beethoven's unfinished work or using the same to produce new albums of the Beatles. It is also a step up from using holograms and AI to present Elvis or Tupac at concerts. In essence, Lucien's blood was able to provide him everlasting life - immortality. This can also be done with simple voice mirroring. One of the most controversial memes right now involves Studio Ghibli, the legendary Japanese anime producer, which is watching its iconic hand produced art be reproduced by anyone with an Internet connection, and a picture, in seconds with AI. There is even talk now that lawsuits may start flying out of Japan. But all art, music, etc., when an artist or composer dies, transcends time and becomes the voice of a ghost in the public space and time. The same stands true for the 1972 and 1973 Pioneer missions, which hold the Golden Record. Even the games we played as a kid teleport us back to those states when played as adults. The immortality of human civilization is guaranteed likewise by the endless broadcasts into space of movies, shows, music, speeches, and so on. We already know AI can generate fake audio and video, which could have a potentially devastating strike on any free elections and even grass roots movements, but AI has also been used to create fake images of giants, aliens, and cryptids, which has prompted the Loch Ness Center to draft experts to sort through the images. The central issue here is not so much about the nature of what is real or not in the age of AI, but how history helps us understand the present and future, and how modern technology - the future from the vantage point of the past - can be used to help us understand history. We are haunted by phantoms, besieged by necromancers, and surrounded by the supernatural. How easy is it now to produce God; to change the past by resurrecting and rebranding narratives like UFOs or 9/11. As Orwell wrote "Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” This is another interpretation of the idea that the U.S. can “manipulate space and time.”*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Take the issue of immigration - arguably President Donald's Trump number one policy priority. The Trump administration has released multiple videos of the deportation of illegal aliens set to popular songs like “Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye” and “Closing Time.” The White recently joined the Studio Ghibli craze and created its own AI generated image of Trump and Vice President JD Vance, with the caption, "We do not ask permission from far-left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants." The White House social media strategy appears aimed at unapologetic authenticity, even on personal issues. On Monday, the White House shared an image of the vice president with his mom in the briefing room as the two celebrated 10 years of sobriety for Bev Vance. Also on today's show, we discuss the recent “Hands Off” protest in Washington, D.C. and the attack on a pro-life activist.

Today, we're diving head first into the AI art debate, which to be honest, is an absolute mess. If you've been on the internet this past week, you've seen the Studio Ghibli memes. These images are everywhere — and they've widened an already pretty stark rift between AI boosters and critics.
