Three large tech companies are losing out in court and may even have to be split up. There's plenty of new material in the "Star Wars" universe and at "Promise Mascot Agency" you recruit mascots for all kinds of absurd jobs.
Google, Meta and Apple - three big players in the tech market are facing legal proceedings and some are even set to be split up. What does that mean? The «Star Wars» universe is celebrating. New series, anime and games are being released to mark the occasion - even though the second season of «Andor» has only just been released.
Speaking of celebrations: after almost 20 years, the RPG classic «Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion» is being remastered. The fantasy epic appears in a new guise. A treat for nostalgics, but Domi still finds a fly in the ointment.
He is a big fan of «Promise Mascot Agency». A «captivating fever dream» from a British game designer in a Japanese setting. You shouldn't miss it, says Domi.

I've been tinkering with digital networks ever since I found out how to activate both telephone channels on the ISDN card for greater bandwidth. As for the analogue variety, I've been doing that since I learned to talk. Though Winterthur is my adoptive home city, my heart still bleeds red and blue.
