As National Reconciliation Week Draws to a close I thought that I would share with you all this lovely video from Commonwealth Games Australia which describes some of the major elements in the painting that I created for their Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). This painting represents the Commonwealth Games Reconciliation journey and a timeline from when Australia first began competing as part of the Commonwealth Games in 1930. #nrw2024 #nationalreconciliationweek #reconciliation #reconciliationart #commonwealthgamesart

Imagine the headlines a PV show would get if it is specifically designed to be combined with therapeutic psychedelic drugs for the treatment of American prisoners? Where the goal is not just to entertain - but to help put people gain perspectives and heal their mind. GenAI can help with the paperwork for the prisoners.. and the masses of free people will be intrigued (and can also greatly benefit, with or without psychedelics). Instead of an intro, people can go through a self induced hypnosis (or skip it of course).

Your engagement deserves recognition. With 500+ comments from 150 people, I spent 3 hours on Sunday reading and sorting them. Disclaimer: I’m not a researcher, so I relied on my gut feelings.

I used the main story length for the infographic from https://lnkd.in/dnxHMB_R Top 5 findings from your feedback: 1. Quality Over Length Preference for high-quality, shorter games over longer, less engaging ones. 2. Replayability is Key A high value is placed on games that offer varied and engaging replayability. 3. Appreciation for Indie Games Significant praise for the creativity and quality of indie games. 4.
