sorry for being offline, I’ve changed job and now I work for the National Health System as an health and social educator.

my interest in gaming will be perfect to explore rehab chances for gambling disorder.

In riferimento ad Astroboy, vincitore del GOTY.
Con la crisi del settore, senza vg all’altezza, si rischia di perdere una fetta di possibile pubblico, che è anche quello che ha soldi da spendere.
E non si può pensare di continuare a blandirlo a lungo con gadget e remastered/remake.
P.S. Inutile dire che, seppure mi divertono sti giochi di tanto in tanto, non sono per me "capolavori" in quanto rinunciano a tutta una parte del medium che lo rende quel che è. Poi, diciamola tutta, più ti fai vecchio, meno tempo hai e più quanto davvero interessa conta, ovunque
E certo. Un gioco che non innova ma va sul sicuro senza sbavature, che non fa male a nessuno, non commuove né fa pensare ma è la quintessenza dell'intrattenimento.
Un premio che premia una certa idea di videogame e di chi li fa.

Dopamine circuits linked to fake news could be a huge health problem.
Perché scrivere titoli acchiappa like e perché i post di fake news hanno più visualizzazioni rispetto alla smentita? I post di disinformazione suscitano + rabbia e gli utenti condividono spinti dall'indignazione, senza verificarne l'accuratezza. Dopamina. È biologia.

Hi.
To start with a big controversial idea is the best way to start, isn’t it?
So… look at my first repost, and if you want, let me know what you think.
