A study conducted by researchers at the University of Queensland has stated alcohol and gambling advertising on Facebook is being targeted at users who are at risk of harm.  Using a pilot for a digital data capture method, which allows people to record the ads they are seeing and collate them on a digital app, the university team was able to collate the data shared with them by the users of the Meta social media platform.  It was found that Facebook directed 89 different alcohol and gambling-related advertising displays at the 10 people who were taking part in the study. As reported by AdNews, many alcohol and gambling companies shared data with Facebook to assist the targeting, but this was not confined to a handful of firms.  A significant 201 alcohol and 63 gambling firms were found to have provided data, according to the university research. One person taking part in the study had 95 drink companies sharing data on her, despite trying to reduce her alcohol consumption over the last decade, while another participant experiencing gambling-related harm, reported almost every two in three ads on his Facebook feed promoted betting.  He also stated this trend would often display 15 or more consecutive gambling ads. Preying on people who are most susceptible to harm Giselle Newton, the chief investigator of the report, warned this is only a small insight into what is known about how alcohol and gambling companies collect and utilize people’s data, with much more to follow.   “People who are trying to reduce their alcohol use or gambling don’t want to be targeted with ads selling these products, and can find it difficult to escape this advertising when they are on social media platforms like Facebook,” she outlined. Lobby groups and those calling for change implored the government to take action to protect citizens.   Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education CEO, Caterina Giorgi, voiced her organization’s perspective that the report further demonstrates the need for reform. “People should not be profiled and targeted for advertising based upon their vulnerabilities.” “It’s concerning to see alcohol, gambling and social media companies deliberately prey on people who are most susceptible to harm.

There’s a definite indie move towards retro-feeling PC RPGs at the moment. Obviously, Dwarf Fortress continues to do well, then we have games like Warsim and Caves of Qud that eschew fancy graphics in favor of a more old-school vibe. That is also where Questboard joins the party. No, it doesn’t look like Baldur’s Gate 3 but it is reminiscent of the type of text-based adventuring many of us did when we were younger, more innocent, and easily occupied. For me, I remember Phantasie II and the original Bard’s Tale took over my early teenage years, and so, the green (Gameboy-ish) hues of Questboard are instantly recognizable. Devs Binary Cabin describes the game as “a nostalgic throwback to classic text-based RPGs with a modern twist.

Well, the same actually it’s Angry Birds after all, the much-loved mobile franchise that went on to conquer the world and bring so many people to the world of mobile gaming is an amazing 15 years old. That’s a decade and a half of shooting birds in catapults (don’t worry that birds are generally okay at flying without a catapult – that’s kinda their schtick, (apart from rubbish ones like Ostriches) at pigs in buildings. If you have just returned from traveling around deepest Tibet for 15 years, that last paragraph won’t make much sense to you, but I would imagine most of us have launched a bird at a tower, missed, and then launched our phone across the room and managed to hit something just fine with that. Angry Birds was one of those games that transcended being just a game, just for a while.
