Enlarge / Kate Beaton (credit: Corey Katz / Kate Beaton)

For those who paid attention to the webcomics scene of the 2010s or simply enjoy good humor writing, the name Kate Beaton is likely a familiar one. The Canadian cartoonist’s Hark a Vagrant—a dizzying mix of the literary and historical references, lack of respect for institutions that didn’t deserve any, and gleeful silliness that ran through 2018—was a staple of Best Of lists for years, whether online or in its two print collections.

Outside of that work, Beaton has created kids’ books (The Princess and the Pony and King Baby, which both won awards) and earlier this year an animated series based on one of those books: Pinecone & Pony on Apple TV+.

This week her latest project hits shelves, and it’s arguably her greatest achievement to date. Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is a memoir of her experiences working in the Athabasca oil sands in northern Alberta. It’s a serious, moving, and heartfelt piece of cartooning that is as kind as it is fearless and easily one of the most impressive graphic novels of this year, or works of any kind in the past decade.

Like other cabin-based hospitality companies, Find Sanctuary's tiny homes are designed to be a peaceful escape into nature.

Sure, the startup could've created an "off-grid" solution for people who desperately need time away from tech.

But according to Charlie Hammond, founder and CEO of Find Sanctuary, this isn't mentally sustainable or accessible.

So instead, the startup is building what it believes is a "preventative" option for "holistic access to nature in an attempt to avoid the crisis" of tech-overload and "over-stimulation," he said in a press release …

Individual vacationers who aren't looking to work remote are still welcome to book a Find Sanctuary cabin.

But the startup will also be uniquely focused on curating C-suite team off-sites and creating what it calls a "work-from-the-woods employee benefit model" for primarily remote companies, a spokesperson told Insider in an email.

To do this, the clusters of off-grid "micro cabins" will be anything but disconnected.

Let's not forget the cabins will be surrounded by peaceful nature: After a long work day, travelers can then unwind at the "meditation rock" and hot tub.

The startup has yet to launch its first set of cabins but it's already seeing a waitlist of 25 companies interested in booking a Find Sanctuary, according to the press release.

And given its location and emphasis on remote work, it's no surprise most of these interested companies are tech startups in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Visions of an American quantum computing initiative are close to becoming a practical reality. The House of Representatives has passed its version of a bill that would establish a National Quantum Initiative Program and speed up the development of next-generation computing technology. Provided the President signs it into law (it cleared the Senate last week), the bill would set out a 10-year plan and launch several initiatives. These would include a presidential advisory committee, a National Science and Technology Council subcommittee, grants from the National Science Foundation and research at organizations ranging from the Energy Department to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

The program is ultimately an attempt at technological oneupmanship. China and other countries are pursuing their own quantum computing research, and there’s a concern that the US could fall behind if the government doesn’t devote more attention to development. The added power could provide an economic edge in areas like health care and manufacturing. It might also be vital to national security, for that matter. Quantum computing could be useful for both defeating encryption and creating ultra-secure networks (just inspecting quantum data can ruin it), and beating rivals to the punch could both safeguard American intelligence data while making it possible to intercept others’ communications.

Whether or not it’s a cynical move, it’s likely to be welcome by the scientific community. Quantum computers are still in their infancy — while there’s plenty of research underway, there’s a lot more work to be done if they’re going to play a significant role in American life.

The alarming audit shows (scaling the survey results to UK population figures) some 55,000 children between the ages of 11-16 showcase telltale signs of gambling addiction, including obsessional thoughts about gambling, lying to their parents about it and even stealing money to continue testing their luck. It also shows that as many as 450,000 kids gamble “regularly”, with 70,000 at risk of developing an acute addiction.

Among the many ways children are exposed to gambling, one of the hardest to counter is video games: especially, their relatively new tendency to include “loot box” systems, which have players spend real-life money (in addition to what they may have already paid to buy the actual game) for a chance to win various types of virtual rewards. The rewards are usually random with the house setting the odds, tempting players to buy box after box in the hopes of winning rare items. According to the audit, nearly a million children were exposed to gambling by playing games which featured loot boxes, some of which are sold in games age rated for kids as young as 8.

Loot box systems are widely used throughout the multi-billion dollar video game industry, and are featured in several of the most popular games in the world including Overwatch, League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Activision Blizzard’s yearly earnings records show the that company made nearly $ 4bn solely through in game purchases last year.

Whereas there are compelling arguments to be made in favor of loot box systems, their negative effect on children coupled with their pervasiveness has played a significant role in creating an epidemic of addiction.

In a statement, the Gambling Commission’s executive director, Tim Miller, said it’s hard to keep up with new and unconventional games of chance: “The most common activities that children gamble on are not licensed casinos, bingo providers or bookies. Instead we found children preferred to gamble in informal environments, out of sight of regulation.”

As major game companies develop ever more sophisticated trappings to push users to pay to play on a daily basis, regulators have been left scrambling to close Pandora’s loot box. The practice is not without its critics, however, with 2017 seeing several big name game releases scrapping plans for loot box systems citing user complaints. Earlier this year, Belgium declared loot boxes to be a form of gambling and banned the practice entirely.

Since Halloween hit theaters this weekend, studios knew they needed to pack the pre-show with a bunch of horror trailers to get those hungry for scares excited about the terrors to come. Unfortunately, since it’s October, that means we’re talking about horror movies that will get dumped in the early months of 2019, where bad movies go to die.

Judging by the first trailer, The Prodigy just might be one of those movies. The new supernatural horror thriller from director Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact, At the Devil’s Door) has a creepy kid (Jackson Robert Scott) seemingly inhabited by another being, and of course he scares the hell out of his mother (Taylor Schilling) with unnerving behavior and a cheap scare.

Watch The Prodigy Trailer

This trailer bored me to death when I saw it before Halloween over the weekend. It’s a long lead rife with cliched elements that end in an even more predictable jump scare that steals the shock from the opening sequence of Annabelle. The only truly creepy piece of this trailer comes courtesy of the residual terror leftover from IT, simply because Jackson Robert Scott is quite skilled at making us feel uneasy.

We don’t want to write this movie off entirely yet, but since it has a February release date, it’s hard to get excited for the time being. Maybe future trailers will change our mind, but so far this feels like quite the lame attempt for Taylor Schilling to make a splash in horror on the big screen after being occupied with her breakthrough role in Orange Is the New Black.

Peter Mooney (Burden of Truth) and Colm Feore (Thor) also star in the film with a script from Jeff Buhler (The Midnight Meat Train, Pet Sematary) produced by Tripp Vinson (The Rite, The Exorcism of Emily Rose).

Here’s the official synopsis from Orion Pictures:

Taylor Schilling stars in The Prodigy as Sarah, a mother whose young son Miles’ disturbing behavior signals that an evil, possibly supernatural force has overtaken him. Fearing for her family’s safety, Sarah must grapple with her maternal instinct to love and protect Miles in favor of investigating what – or who – is causing his dark turn. She is forced to look for answers in the past, taking the audience on a wild ride; one where the line between perception and reality remains blurry.

The Prodigy arrives in theaters on February 8, 2018.

Apple Quest Monsters DX is a book of charming monsters and their descriptions, all for a game that does not exist. Not that this mattered for Splendidland, developer of Tender Caves of Death, as this look at monsters detached from a game carried that sense of discovery that came with cracking open strategy guides for Earthbound, Banjo Kazooie, and more, creating a digital space within the reader’s mind that called up imaginary game worlds.

“I used to love reading strategy guides for games I never got to play, so why not make a guide for a game nobody has played? I loved the guide of Banjo Kazooie because it had so many different characters, and I still haven’t played that game!” says Splendidland.

Guided Worlds

A strategy guide, or a feature in an issue of Nintendo Power, often came with unique artwork and character descriptions for the games they covered. While these were meant to be informative on the games they covered or to help flesh out a narrative, there was still a creativity, curiosity, and excitement contained within the artwork and words alone. Arguably designed to help make playing a game easier, these guides were still made with a love for storytelling and play that made the guides themselves fun all on their own.

This is the spirit Splendidland looked to capture with Apple Quest Monsters DX. “I love monster bestiaries! I read the Pokedex in Pokemon Yellow so much as a kid that I could memorize the cries of each monster. I am developing a game called Tender Caves of Death that also features a monster encyclopedia, but it’s going to take a while to finish, so I wanted to make something where I don’t actually have to program a game around them.”

There is a sense of getting to know these digital places that is captured within the pages of the book, and whether the reader ever gets to go there, a familiarity is built through looking at the artwork and maps while reading the descriptions. What manner of place would have creatures like these? How would they move? It kickstarts the imagination and helps create a sense of place within the reader’s mind whether they play the game or not.

For some, this can even replace the playing of the game altogether, letting them experience the game through text and visuals without any input. “RPGs are typically quite lengthy, and I think there’s a lot of people who want to have the feeling of playing one without the time investment, that was one of the feelings I hoped to capture with the book,” says Splendidland.

Guides and features can give the reader that sense of having been there, or of learning of a place in a way that carries a different kind of joy all its own. Splendidland tapped into this sensation with Apple Quest Monsters DX, letting the reader feel as if they’re transported to an RPG they can play through in their imaginations.

Monsters Beyond

What thoughts go into creating the monsters for a game that doesn’t exist? In telling a game world’s story without the game world itself?

It was something that felt comfortable for the developer. “I’ve played video games since I was 6, and it was the medium I found the most compelling, so my art has always been inspired by video games,” says Splendidland.

“I feel like the most important thing is for them to all be memorable in some way. The Dragon Quest series is well known for its unique designs even though a lot of the enemies are things like ‘Slime’ and ‘Skeleton’ and ‘Golem’,” says Splendidland. “When I designed the monsters, I had a little grid, with all the Type and Habitat combinations, and I came up with one monster for each, trying to make them appropriate while also including a lot of variation. The puppet type of the plains habitat is a robot simply because I wanted to have a robot, and it seemed like the best place for one!”

The look wasn’t the only key part in making Apple Quest Monsters DX‘s monsters feel like they had a game world to belong in, as their descriptions, which laid out the monsters’ personalities, were a large part in making them feel like they belonged in their own digital worlds.

“I tried to give each monster their own personality as well! A lot of people loved certain monsters not because of their design, but their accompanying flavour text being what the kids would call ‘a big mood’. The Zombie monster mentions having dysphoria because it can’t stand the appearance of its rotting body. I think small details like that go a long way to making even a generic monster more interesting,” says Splendidland.

1BgM2f.png

These descriptions went beyond giving the monsters an identity, but also established an overall sense of this imaginary world’s mood. The Slime is described as “It’s the weakest of all monsters, but don’t let that stop you from loving it,”. The Power Beetles boss “always compliment each other to boost their self-esteem.” They give the monsters these hopeful, cheery identities, but also bring to mind a world that is hopeful and helpful. Their descriptions immediately call up thoughts on the world they would live in, and help the reader establish more about them on top of their cute designs.

A final step, one familiar to those who’ve ever enjoyed the Earthbound strategy guide, was to give the monsters their own real interpretations. Seeing these adorable beasts brought into reality offers this sense of touch that makes them feel more realistic, in a sense, and may bring back memories of flipping through that particular guide and seeing these creatures in vibrant color and touchable material.

“I was actually just going to paint the cover or make it pixel art. The models were a last-minute decision that probably delayed the books release by a month! I’ve always loved making models, and this is my first book, so I wanted to make it special! My favourite game, Wario Land 3, also had a physical model of the music box the game takes place in on the cover, and I was always so enamoured by it!” says Splendidland.

Not that this decision was motivated by nostalgia for that old guidebook. “I never had a SNES, and even if I did, Earthbound wasn’t released in the UK. I didn’t get to read the guide until long after I’d already played the game on emulator, but what a guide it is! You could just read that instead of playing the game (though you should play the game anyway because it’s good for your soul),” says Splendidland.

Still, this final step created a connection to reality and color that makes the monsters seem to spring to life in Apple Quest Monsters DX, their cheerful looks creating a sense of adventure and play. Within the creatures’ designs, we can get a sense of their places within the world, and are captivated by the details that make them stand out. Likewise, Splendidland’s cheerful style runs through each, creating that sense of cohesive identity and place that ties them all together, and their descriptions give them, and the world, a further sense of personality. In reading this, we know a digital place, even if it isn’t real.

EYHXrS.png

A Game In the Mind

For those who ever leafed through a guide book for a game they didn’t own, how much did it truly matter if they never got to play that game? Did they not find joy in that world in their own way, or get a sense of knowing the place and having seen it in their imaginations? Our games are but constructs of code assisted by our imaginations in becoming real, so a guide for a game that isn’t real isn’t necessarily a leap. As such, using artwork, style, text, and physical models, Splendidland captured that feeling of knowing a place through game guides and features – of reading and seeing a world to life.

Apple Quest Monsters DX is available for £10.00 through Splendidland’s online store, or £2.50 for a digital copy on Itch.io. For more information on the book and the developer, you can follow them on Twitter.
