We started off the first proper day of the trip strong with a trip to Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, a museum of old and new technologies ranging from cuneiform tablets to VR headsets.

I feel like a lot of the more historical exhibitions went over my head, but I could at least appreciate them. We got to see some very old machines, but few of them were ugly or clunky looking; quite the opposite, really. So it’s only natural that I would forget to take pictures of the pretty ones and only have the mind to take a picture of this really old apple brick and some vintage computer mice.

There were also some very unsettling robots, prime examples of the Uncanny Valley.
Afterwords, Jörg talked to us about AI, its role in games, and the potential role of games in AI. Since the event afterward was canceled due to rain, I stayed in GamesLab, and almost purely by accident played Q, a game by one of our german hosts, for more than three hours. I got all of the collectibles, though, so it was obviously worth it.
Finally, to end the day off, we played some board games and Jackbox games. A good time was had by all, except Stefan, who was dropped into a pit of spikes via trap-door.
