Если кто-то думает, что настольные игры это скучное перекладывание жетонов с цифрами для душнарей, то посмотрите на "Неон".
"Неон" — проект от российских разработчиков в жанре Battle Royale и сеттинге киберпанка. Если киберпанк от настолок ожидать можно легко (видеоигра Cyberpunk 2077 основана именно на настолке 1974 года), то батлрояль это что-то сравнительно новое. По меньшей мере, кажется, что настольному ритму это противоречит: если игрок на личной встрече друзей вылетает из игры навсегда и скучает, то это антипаттерн, и в нормальных играх с проработанной механикой такие вещи стараются не делать (одна из причин, по которым "Мафия" бесконечно хуже, чем "Авалон").
Авторы "Неона", впрочем, решили эту проблему, добавив отдельный дополнительный режим с возрождением: после смерти ты появляешься заново, а игра в таком случае идёт на очки. Причём, довольно хитро сделано, например, так, чтобы убивать только что возродившихся было менее выгодно, чем тех, кто засиделся на арене. Но можно играть и по хардкору настоящий режим на вылет.
В остальном очень драйвовая настолка с неплохим балансом, пафосным лутом и простыми правилами, которые постигаются за 10 минут. Присутствует эффект постепенно уменьшающегося мира, как и положено в батлроялях, так что к концу игроки неизбежно стоят рядом и провоцируются на драку. Единственное что, мне кажется, не слишком большая реиграбельность: после пары десятков партий уже будут изучены все предметы и возможные цепочки действий. Надеюсь, авторы выпустят в скором времени дополнение.

🚀 U.S. Inflation Trends Show Potential Systemic Risks Amid Geopolitical Tensions
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost recently shared insights on the X platform regarding the current structure of U.S. inflation. According to Odaily, while the March Consumer Price Index (CPI) data recorded the largest month-on-month increase since 2022, the core CPI remained largely unchanged. This indicates that inflationary pressures have not yet fully spread across the economy. This trend requires ongoing monitoring through subsequent Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data and in the coming months.
As long as this structure persists, it suggests that inflation has not become systematically embedded in the U.S. economy and may be more of a temporary phenomenon, potentially linked to geopolitical conflicts. However, if the conflict between the U.S. and Iran prolongs, inflation could gradually evolve into a systemic risk, potentially impacting economic growth. In such a scenario, the Federal Reserve might be compelled to continue raising interest rates to address the situation.

🚀 U.S. Core PCE Price Index Annualized Rate for Q4 Finalized at 2.7%
The U.S. core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index for the fourth quarter was finalized at an annualized rate of 2.7%, according to Jin10. This figure aligns with both the expected rate and the previous value of 2.7%. The core PCE price index is a key measure of inflation, excluding food and energy prices, and is closely monitored by the Federal Reserve to assess inflationary pressures in the economy.

🚀 Bitcoin Faces Liquidity Challenges Amid Economic Indicators
Bitcoin may face liquidity challenges, according to Delphi Digital's analysis. According to PANews, February's PCE data indicated a weakening in U.S. consumer spending even before the impact of the Iran conflict. Income levels have contracted, and real spending has shown almost no growth. Subsequently, March's CPI recorded a 3.3% increase, with energy accounting for three-quarters of the rise. The U.S. Leading Economic Index (LEI) is declining, typically leading real yields by about six months. The last occurrence of such a scenario was in 2022, when tight monetary policy coincided with an energy shock, resulting in Bitcoin's correlation with real yields turning deeply negative.
