4x ne demek? Bir kılıcın fiyatı nedir? Müteahhitlikten sonraki adım imparatorluk mu? Can'ı bırakırsanız böyle konuşur. Tankla tüfekle de gelebiliyor muyuz? İyi bir ninjanın müteahhitlerle ne işi var? Levent'te kaç X var? Peki bu Levent'e ziyade oldu mu? Danışmanlar her yeni oyunla beraber boyut mu kazandı acaba? ESG'yi neden andık?

Just a track composed for fun in the style of Valkyria Chronicles. I'd love to work on an Tactical JRPG someday so I've just been doing this for fun. I re-did the orchestration and sequencing on this so wanted to upload the new version.

Wenige Spiel-Reihen blicken auf so viel Geschichte zurück: "Civilization" begeistert nicht nur selbst seit 1991 viele Gamer, sondern bietet bei jedem Durchlauf auch noch eine komplette alternative Menschheitsgeschichte. Mittlerweile ist "Civilization VII" erhältlich. Und auch wenn man an Tutorial und Zivilopädie viel kritisieren kann: Kaum ein Game verführt so schnell dazu, noch eben "one more turn" zu spielen!

Digitale Empfehlung: "Civilization VII" (WDR3 "Mosaik" 05.03.25)

We find ourselves in a pre-paradigmatic moment in which our technology has outpaced our theories of what to do with it. 

The task of philosophy today is to catch up.

Benjamin Bratton is a Professor of Philosophy of Technology and Speculative Design at University of California, San Diego and the Director of Antikythera, an cross-disciplinary think tank researching the philosophy of computation supported by Berggruen Institute. In his Long Now Talk, Bratton takes us on a whirlwind philosophical journey into the concept of Planetary Computation — a journey that began in classical Greece with the story of the Antikythera mechanism, the analog computer that gave his think-tank its name. But his inquiry stretches far beyond antiquity —  back to the very origins of biological life itself and forward to a present and future where we must increasingly grapple with artificial life and intelligence.

This talk was presented January 29, 02025 at the Cowell Theater in San Francisco.

This Talk is part of Long Now Talks.

Launched by Stewart Brand in 02003, Long Now Talks has invited more than 400 leading thinkers to share their civilization-scale ideas with a live audience and millions around the globe tuning in to our podcast and videos. Long Now Talks are brought to you by The Long Now Foundation, which has spent the last 25 years igniting cultural imagination around long-term thinking.

By inspiring thought and conversation about how we've been shaped by the last 10,000 years and what might be in store for us over the next 10,000 years, Long Now Talks seek to expand our collective sense of the present moment. Long Now Talks cover futurism and speculative fiction; time, nature, and contemplative practices; the intersection of the humanities and sciences; the evolution of counterculture to cyberculture; cultural imagination, land art and public monuments; and of course, long-term thinking and being a good ancestor.

In our age of compounding crises, The Long Now Foundation is a counterweight — our community of 12,000 strong across 65 countries over our first quarter century. We are a force that imagines new possibilities, thinks critically, and takes action over the long term. We believe that when we all come together, bound by commitment and curiosity, audacious things become possible. Will you join us?  https://longnow.org/join

Civilization

Gradually...bit by bit...shard by shred...coin by button....a storied river gives up thousands of years of history. London Mudlark and micro-paleontologist Alessio Checconi on his finger-wrinkling love-affair with the River Thames.

for jerm. 🖤 miss u lil bro
mixed n mastered by me
prod by @tgwog @blxty @popilization
Lyrics:
 everything gets taken 
no use in faking 
Im constantly smoked out, hope it ain't laced in 
my cards they never made sense
they test my patience 
I never made it 
back to civilization

shoutout to tg
I swear I speak freely
if it weren't for all these beats I wouldn't be me
my body's weakly 
put together weepings 
just so u could see me 
passing through the seepings 

I never meant nothing to no relative 
every time I close my eyes I start to forget 
but then I open them 
I know I can't relive
that shit can't come again 
ima be the parliament 

I'll never fit in with the usual
I stick out like a Boner 
lash out like I don't know her 
been packed in like a folder 
I'll never listen like a cuticle 
I keep growing despite me 
there's no use in us fighting
wish I could stop the lightning 

I'll never be a bug 
ok there's times I was a scrub 
and maybe just a fuckin bum 
its always been just what it was 
another one with different flaws 
never wanted my life in Gauze 

dreaming bout counting 0s n 1s I must be computing 
Im probably just confusing 
I know I come off moody 
I know just where It's from 
I know I'm kinda loopy 
but I'll find just what you want 

I put the smoke down I got sick 
I broke down counting up sticks 
put my old thoughts back to the front 
time to face shit no more running 
miss my brother always think about the kid 
everything I do is betterment 
processes never been spent 
you was real ever since a jit 
I've been through it all but I ain't spent 
5 years has been the longest 
all the tears finally make sense 
relatives stay tryna reach me 
I've been doing just peachy 
latchin on used to be bleak 
now I'm steady patchin up leaks 
finally found what I was seeking

civilization (tgwog  + blxty +  pop)

The Aztecs were a Mesoamerican civilization that flourished in Central Mexico from 1300 to 1521. They comprised of various ethnic groups, particularly those who spoke the Nahuatl language. In Age of Empires II, they have a strong focus on infantery and monks. They have a notable economic bonus, but no particular unit worth booming into. Instead, with faster producing eagle warriors, great monks and good siege weapons, they are well equipped to play aggressively and put early pressure on the enemy. Just like the Aztecs, they also exuded absolute dominance in our beloved game for a while, only to then abruptly disappear from the scene.
In this episode, we'll be taking a deep look into the history of the Aztecs to understand, where their bonuses come from. They were skilled farmers and subdued themselves to bloodthirsty gods, had gold in abundance and never used horses. Their campaign tells the story of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire, however, it's actually not what happend in reality, but just a tale Hernan Cortez told to fool his king.

[ENG] Civilizations #01: Aztecs

Primary marks the center of The Hymnal. It is ruled by Libra and positioned between sorrow, chaos, and transformation. In the myth, this is the golden age of the Arcani. Under Anthromancer’s silent guidance, the Arcanum brings power, beauty, and connection to all of Akash. Cities rise; matter bends, and the song of progress hums beneath.

In Mercenarium, Primary lets you glimpse the future—three Hymnal cards revealed, one chosen. It’s a quiet card, but one that can utterly reshape the game. In Dragonfruit, it represents knowledge: the power of understanding, the control of perception. Its alteration is empathy born of awareness.

Primary is the only instrumental track on the album. No lyrics. Just a chill, glassy sci-fi soundscape. Built in collaboration with Patrick Creselius, who brought dynamic shape and color to its minimalism.

Update on my album: 42 mins of music is fully done + mixed pretty much perfectly, so far, just not posted yet, because I'm thinking now I need to work on the art and story more. Part 1 is a bit scratchy + bassy but you won't hear those issues in the final version, all mixing was redone.

No AI is used in my music, no AI will ever be used in my music. That also means I never use AI stem separation, AI mastering tools, or any other "little helpers" that producers use and try to act sneaky about it. No AI means NO AI. I cut my samples and loops in an old version of Audacity. All my art is drawn first and then traced using vectors in Inkscape.

Hello! My name is Karl. I live in a small town in the north. I make music with the help of AI.

Before 2015, I played music in real life: I was a one-man band. In 2015, I was in an accident, and my talent died the same day. Now I cannot play more instruments or sing.

AI saved my life. The lyrics I write myself, into which I put my soul and heart. I hope you enjoy my songs.

Follow me, and leave a like on my songs if you want. If you share my profile and songs, you make me happy. Have a happy life! I hope you come back.

Mythic synthpop for the end of the world.

Anthromancer is the sonic wing of a transmedia myth created by Daniel James Drake—a fusion of game, oracle, and concept album. The debut LP, The Hymnal, scores the fall and rebirth of a fictional civilization, blending icy electronica with poetry into a 13-track spiritual epic.

Our sound is somewhere between The Postal Service, Muse, Aesop Rock, and Nobuo Uematsu, with shades of Röyksopp and our venerable RPG nostalgia. The sound is cinematic, existential, and driven by a hunger to be known.
