Rhythm games use a lot of classical music, huh?

Classical music has significantly influenced video game soundtracks, with examples including Philippe Vachey’s incorporation of Johann Strauss and Saint-Saëns, and games like Catherine and Grand Theft Auto 3 featuring classical pieces. The rhythm game Pump it Up Rise includes classical remixes, a hallmark of the series since 1999, with remixes by BanYa such as Take The Devil and Turkey March. BanYa's adaptations, like Winter and Beethoven Virus, showcase a blend of classical and modern elements. Other rhythm games, including Audition Online and Taiko no Tatsujin, also feature classical music. The use of classical compositions in games is partly due to their emotional resonance and copyright advantages, as works by composers like Beethoven and Mozart are in the public domain.

Players navigate a 2D mine, managing resources in a puzzle-like inventory while completing quests for upgrades.

Jack Dorsey evokes Bitcoin ethos with new decentralised messaging app Bitchat

Jack Dorsey introduced a test version of a decentralized messaging application called Bitchat, designed for private conversations through end-to-end encryption. The app enables ephemeral, encrypted communication without relying on internet infrastructure, making it resilient to network outages and censorship. Bitchat operates using Bluetooth to facilitate communication within a range of approximately 300 meters and does not require users to provide phone numbers or email addresses.
