• Blade Chimera mixes up the Metroidvania formula with an extremely cool sword
    www.polygon.com
    Indie developer Team Ladybug has carved out a niche by making the types of side-scrolling action games that Konami used to create. Best known for Metroidvanias Touhou Luna Nights and Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth (and the Gradius homage Drainus), Team Ladybug is attempting a new spin on the beloved action-exploration formula with Blade Chimera, which places a huge emphasis on its titular weapon: a multifunctional sword that also happens to be a nice demon lady.Blade Chimera is full of interesting ideas (and less interesting execution of those ideas), with clever, compounding combat and exploration mechanics that unlock as you journey through a demon-infested Osaka, Japan. As Shin, a demon hunter who works for a highly questionable military organization, your job is to slay the monsters that have occupied the city. Using a variety of guns, swords, throwing stars, and (of course) a whip, Shin explores the mazelike city and the tunnels beneath on a mission to dispose of massive titan demons.Early on in Blade Chimera, out now on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC, Shin encounters Lux, a shape-shifting spirit-sword and confidant who has broad-ranging powers. In addition to serving as a giant, demon-slaying sword, Lux can act as a shield; restore Shins health; rematerialize missing objects; turn into a rope for Shin to swing from; and serve as an ad hoc platform to jump off of. She can even become a jetpack.Lux serves as a Swiss Army knife for the games traversal and exploration mechanics. But progression and map access elsewhere in Blade Chimera can sometimes feel like an afterthought. Much of Shins gated progress is simply unlocked by upgrading a security badge, and Shin needs only to find the right computer terminal to have an assistant upgrade his access level.As Shin explores Osaka on his mission, hell encounter a wide variety of demons that are largely rooted in Japanese folklore, some of which are very visually striking. Shin has an equally diverse set of combat tools to dispatch them, including long-range rifles and close-quarters melee weapons. Early on, Blade Chimera encourages the player to experiment with a variety of loadouts, but some weapons easily outshine others, limiting experimentation in the later hours. Many of the games long-range weapons also trivialize enemy encounters; its too easy to simply spam a bunch of bullets or shuriken at monsters at the edge of the screen.Progression throughout Blade Chimera is surprisingly linear for a game so clearly inspired by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. While theres some backtracking early on, Shin ultimately gains the ability to teleport around the map, and the game often leaves a clear breadcrumb trail for the player to lead them to their next objective.Despite some small nits I had with Blade Chimera, I still had a great time with it, largely because of the games well-designed boss battles and the clever use of Lux as an all-in-one tool. Graphically, the game can be quite striking; its pixel art is lovingly detailed and designed with a muted, distinct color palette. But its the precise, sometimes challenging combat and clever platforming that help Blade Chimera stand out in a very crowded market of indie action-exploration games.Team Ladybug hasnt reinvented the Metroidvania with Blade Chimera, but thanks to its core idea tying its mystical sword into nearly every aspect of gameplay it offers something that manages to feel fresh and lovingly designed. Anyone with a fondness for Konamis catalog of side-scrolling action games should, at the very least, give its demo a try. Blade Chimerawas released on Jan. 16 on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC. The game was reviewed on Nintendo Switch using a pre-release download code provided by publisher Playism. Vox Media has affiliate partnerships.

  • Want to be a full-time influencer? Consider freelancing
    www.fastcompany.com
    More people than ever aspire to become influencers on social media, given YouTubes proliferation as an entertainment source and the popularity of Instagram and TikTok. Some 57% of Gen Z aspire to be influencers, according to a 2023 survey of 1,000 U.S. respondents. It makes sense after seeing influencers earn big payouts while having more freedom and flexibility to work on their terms.There are many glamorous aspects of becoming an influencer, but being able to earn a full-time salary is challenging. Its a considerable amount of hard work, requires some luck, and the field has gotten competitive. And thats why some experts suggest aspiring content creators consider freelancing.What influencers really earnJust 4% of the estimated 50 million global creators are earning more than $100,000 a year, according to Goldman Sachs Research. And 48% of creators earned $15,000 or less in 2023, reports The Wall Street Journal, partly due to social networks reducing creator program payouts and other incentives used to encourage posting.Due to creator saturation, brands have more creator partners to choose from, sometimes leading them to be more selective over who they work with and pay less for that work.And investing time and resources solely into these social networks is an unpredictable pay-off, considering the changes to X (formerly Twitter) since 2023 as well as TikToks uncertain future in the U.S.Going full-time as a creator can be challenging, especially when relying on brand deals, which can be inconsistent and volatile, says Lindsey Gamble, a consultant, advisor, and speaker on the creator economy and influencer marketing.Diversifying your incomeDespite these drawbacks, you dont need to abandon your aspirations to become a creator or influencer.But for most people, its not a realistic full-time focus or going to deliver the pay day you may be thinking. Instead, more professionals will find success by being a well-rounded freelancer and having one of your focus areas be creating content for social media. That way youre not disregarding your interests in being an influencer, but also protecting your income.Freelancing can provide access to a wider range of projects diversifying your income and providing better long-term stability. As a freelancer, you have the ability to offer a mix of services and products to companies and individuals based on your expertise and experience.Diversifying types of work and clients is paramount for younger workers during this period of AI-boosted jobs and work disruption, says says Sophie Wade, workforce innovation advisor and instructor, and host of the Transforming Work podcast. Relying only on influencer/creator income is unwise, rather than developing transferrable skills, diversifying clients and projects, and building a range of experiences and expertise to be prepared whichever way markets evolve.Freelancing takes many forms like offering consulting, coaching, creative services, marketing, technical support, professional training, project management, speaking, and other services. For example, a web designer could offer brand partnerships on social media as a content creator, sell courses to other designers, and provide website redesign services to companies. That way, as any aspect of your business ebbs and flows due to seasonality, economic conditions, or whatever other reason, youve got multiple income streams to rely on.Plus, freelancing lets you diversify your presence beyond the highly competitive social media landscape, helping you compete for work across private and public marketplaces, networking platforms, industry events, and professional communities. Finding creative fulfillmentDiversifying your offerings allows you to vary your day-to-day workload, so youre not repeating the same tasks over and over again.Sometimes, I get bored or creatively drained working on the same kind of projects, so alternating between freelance and creator work allowed me to be creatively free and work with a variety of brands, says Jayde Powell, a freelance social strategist and content creator. Doing both truly feels like yin and yangdifferent but balancedwhich has allowed me to establish my own lane as a creatorpreneur.And the advantages of diversification works in all directions whether theres times youre getting stability and income from being a content creator, a speaker, an advisor, or in another capacity.If theres anything [the last year] taught me, its that having two streams of income is not only fruitful for my purse but also for my mental health, adds Powell. As is the case with freelance work, sometimes you can go months without picking up any projects. I often found myself in a position where agencies I would talk to knew they needed a freelance social strategist but simply werent ready to bring one on. My saving grace was working as a creator and influencer. My earnings from my brand partnerships often helped supplement my income as a freelancer, which mitigated any potential financial stressors I could have had.Keep in mind that there are some barriers to entry with freelancing are higher than posting on social media, as youve got to earn professional experience, develop an in-demand skillset, and attract clients.Freelancing is less familiar to Gen Z, who have undeveloped professional networks and skillsets, and it takes time to grow a client base, says podcaster Wade.In most scenarios, offering freelance services will require that youve worked at a company full-time for at least a few years to get hands-on experience, gain professional contacts, and earn any necessary credentials. That way youre qualified to provide high-quality services, potential customers can trust in your offerings, and this experience can act as a starting point for growing a customer base.This is where being a content creator is advantageous as you can generate valuable visibility for your other types of freelance work.Finding the right balanceFor freelancers, creating content is key today; it helps you get in front of prospects, showcases your expertise, and gives them a preview of what its like to work with you, adds consultant Gamble. As someone who left a 9-to-5 six months ago, Ive found the combination of creator and freelancer to be working really well. Both sides complement each other, helping you secure bigger budgets and become more integral to the companies you work with, he says.Thats where freelancing and influencing go hand-in-hand. Youre not only being flexible in the support youre able to provide to clients, but giving yourself options to ensure youre financially stable, enjoying variety in your day-to-day work, and continuing to develop your skills in the process.I think increasingly people are answering questions that have been posed as an or with an and, says Ziad Ahmed, an expert on Gen Z and the head of Next Gen at United Talent Agency. We have watched as creators have evolved into actors and entrepreneurs, as baristas have turned into internet sensations, as freelancers have taken yearly hiatuses to be travel bloggers, as the lines between creators and creatives and colleagues have all blurred.There are no shortage of options to explore and benefits to tap into as a content creator, but its a competitive and unpredictable path that many will struggle to turn into full-time work. A more realistic approach is to diversify as a freelancer, and make creating on social media one of the many skills you offer.

  • 3 things leaders should do to increase trust
    www.fastcompany.com
    Much has been written about the lack of trust in todays workplace. And no wonder: A 2023 Gallup study found that only 21% of U.S. employees strongly trust the leaders at their organization. Without that trust, there are real and detrimental outcomes: Employees disengage, innovation slows, and turnover increases.But trust is a nebulous thing, and restoring trust once it has been eroded is a massive undertaking. Instead of talking about and attempting to build trust as if it were a new product, something external to the leader or a company, [leaders] should concentrate on building trustworthiness, writes Fast Company contributor Ludmila Praslova.Consider a genuine, long-term friendship. It cant be produced by telling someone you must like me. she explains. It comes from the experience of genuinely supportive behavior. Similarly, long-term trust, psychological safety, loyalty, and other desired employee or customer psychological outcomes cannot be commanded into existence. Trust must be earned, and this starts with trustworthiness.If one of your goals as a leader this year is to improve your trustworthiness and increase employee engagement, here are some areas to focus on:1. Get honest about your weaknessesHave employees expressed feedback about workplace frustrations or challenges, whether in-person, via an employee engagement survey, or in exit interviews? Being receptive to feedbackand articulating how you plan to act differently in the future is a key first step. Will you communicate more transparently? Prioritize employee wellness by offering new benefits? Hire more support for overextended workers?There are four elements that comprise trust: competence, reliability, sincerity, and care, writes contributor and executive coach Sara Sabin. Doing an audit in each of these four areas and seeing where you might be falling short is a start. Then, you can set some action steps you can take to improve.That said, building trust requires more than just making a public commitment, and theres a real risk to promising change and then not following through. The best way to show that employee input is valued is by using it to improve processes, writes Praslova. When employees see that the leadership operates with honesty and integrity, trust grows organically. On the other hand, if input-seeking is simply a checkbox exercise or worse, a trap, trust is crushed.2. Delegate moreTrust is a two-way street. Bosses too often have trouble trusting their reports to carry out a vision and get caught in the weeds, stunting their teams growth and derailing progress.Some leaders are hesitant to delegate the details, writes Chris Lipp, author and professor of management communication at Tulane University. These leaders get stuck in micromanaging. The inability to delegate and the desire to micromanage are often states of disempowerment because they derive from fear. This fear saps our personal power, and it saps the power of those below us to contribute creatively.3. Plan before a crisisProfessional crises are bound to arise, and its important to have a plan before they do, writes behavioral scientist and contributor Art Markman. Part of that includes developing the outline of a communication strategyto both clients and staff.Your communication plan must include the key audiences who will want information, writes Markman. Employees will want to know that key issues are being addressed, whether there is risk to their jobs, and any effect a crisis is likely to have on their daily work life. External stakeholders will want communications about any service disruptions or other influences a crisis may have on their experience.Its also important to think critically about who you want on your team when a problem arises. Playing out different potential scenarios can help you respond more effectively when the real thing occursand give you a distinct advantage when it comes to maintaining trust among your team.

Iconic furniture pieces, like those from the Scandinavian and Mid-Century Modern movements, showcased clean lines and organic forms, highlighting the beauty of natural grains and finishes. Wood paneling was also popular in interiors, adding texture and depth to walls and ceilings.

Retaining its retro wooden build, the Sukhtara is crafted from a coconut or gourd shell, bamboo, metal strings, wood, and goatskin, elegantly blending traditional craftsmanship with a fresh, modern approach that celebrates its rich heritage.10. Vintage DesignRetro and vintage design, while often used interchangeably, have distinct characteristics that set them apart. Retro design refers to the revival or imitation of styles from the past, particularly those from the mid-20th century, like the 1950s to the 1980s. In contrast, vintage design involves original items or styles from a specific time period, typically over 20 years old. Vintage pieces carry the authenticity and history of their era, often showcasing aged materials and craftsmanship. While both evoke nostalgia, retro is a reinterpretation, whereas vintage is a preservation of the past.The Nikon Zf seamlessly blends retro design with modern performance, evoking the classic SLR aesthetics of Nikons early cameras through its sleek all-black body, brass dials, and leatherette covering.
