Game Programming

**New to the game? Please join our beginner-friendly Sunday event instead!** Hi folks, this is a special meetup group for the regular Blood on the Clocktower games every Tuesday in Berlin Mitte. This event is aimed at players who are already very familiar with Clocktower - if you have dozens of games under your belt and are excited to play custom scripts with other seasoned players, this is the event for you! Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”. If you are marked as "going" in Meetup and are in your seat at 19:00, your place is guaranteed. All other seats are first come, first served. There is a €3 entrance fee per person to cover the cost of hiring the venue, payable in cash. We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case.

Hello peeps, welcome to the private meetup for board games in Berlin. Look forward to a relaxed boardgames event in a community centre. We will be playing inside the community centre. If you are looking for a group or games, just join us in the front. The entrance fee is 3 euros for the rent of the community centre rooms and cleanup of the rooms. We look to play in the Nachbarschaftszentrum „Bürger für Bürger“ near Bernauer Strasse U-Bahnhof. We usually play all types of games for example social deduction, casual, euro games, and strategy games. If you are new, is no worries, I will help you connect to a group. We start games every 15 mins so do not worry if you are late. We mostly play in the English language as it is the language most people are comfortable with. We usually bring games with us but you are welcome to bring your own. Due to corona rules in Berlin (for more info: https://www.berlin.de/corona/en/measures/), please make sure to follow the rules on the page. The meetup is strictly for a maximum of persons as stated in the meetup so please register on the meetup event before. Please follow the rules and hygiene concept from the community centre. Please do not bring outside drinks. Please smoke or gather in the night not outside the community centre as we look to be accomodating to the neighbours. If you have any questions, please let me know.

**Community Partnership - Registration Here:** **https://nebius.com/events/nebius-build-berlin#form** # Nebius.Build/BER The Nebius Build Tour is a series of in-person technical gatherings designed for engineers working on real-world AI infrastructure. Join ML engineers, platform architects, and technical founders for deep dives into deploying, scaling, and operating AI systems in production. This is not a marketing conference — it’s a focused environment for builders to share architecture patterns, lessons learned, and practical approaches to running AI workloads at scale. Nebius.Build/BER brings together engineers from Nebius and partners including Anyscale and Tavily, with sessions covering distributed training, running open source models in production, and scaling workloads across large GPU clusters. The program includes a mix of technical talks, partner sessions, and a hands-on workshop, where you can deploy your own model and connect it to a working inference pipeline. The program includes talks on real architecture breakdowns and implementation details from teams running production systems, with discussion of inference scaling, latency, reliability, and cost-performance tradeoffs, alongside practical deployment workflows. The content runs from 13:00 to 16:30, followed by a networking reception and a help bar, allowing time to connect directly with engineers and peers. Register your interest to receive updates on upcoming events and be the first to secure a place when registrations open near you. ## Full agenda  ### 12:00-13:00 –– Registration and lunch  ### 13:00-13:15 –– Opening remarks and scene setting Waqas Makhdum, VP of Developer Relations & Community, Nebius  ### 13:15-13:45 –– AI Cloud talk: From prototype to production: reliable clusters for large scale distributed training Evgeny Arhipov, Head of Scheduler Services: Managed Soperator, Slurm, Nebius  ### 13:45-14:30 –– Token Factory talk: Post training in production. Making open models reliable at scale Dylan Bristot, Product Marketing, Token Factory Sujee Maniyam, DevRel, Token Factory  ### 14:30-15:00 –– Coffee break  ### 15:00-15:25 –– Breakout sessions: select your preferred track on the registration form **Track 1 — Partner talk: Anyscale** Physical AI at scale: Efficient VLA training on hundreds of GPUs Carl Winkler, Anyscale Physical AI is entering a new era, with VLA models reshaping how robots learn to see, reason, and act from a single architecture. But scaling VLA training across hundreds of GPUs exposes a core infrastructure challenge: the data is heterogeneous, the compute is heterogeneous, and in traditional batch pipelines, expensive GPUs sit idle while CPU steps run. This talk shows how streaming execution eliminates that waste by continuously feeding data through CPU and GPU stages in a single unified pipeline, keeping GPU utilization near 95% instead of waiting for each step to complete. We will walk through the full data pipeline, from show how fault-tolerant streaming on Anyscale, deployed on Nebius AI Cloud, lets teams efficiently utilize hundreds of GPUs, process massive multimodal datasets, recover from failures without restarting from scratch, and dramatically speed up the development cycle from data to training. **Track 2 — Workshop** Hands-on with OpenClaw: Bring your own model Mikhail Rozkhov, TPM, Nebius In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to deploy a custom model and connect it to OpenClaw to build a usable AI service. We start by deploying a model to a serverless endpoint, making sure it is accessible, stable, and ready for inference. From there, we integrate the deployed model with OpenClaw, configuring it to handle requests, route inputs, and expose a clean API. Along the way, we cover the practical details that matter in real setups: model compatibility, endpoint configuration, and how to make the system reliable end to end. By the end of the session, you will have a working pipeline where your own model is deployed, connected to OpenClaw, and ready to be used in real applications.  ### 15:25-15:50 **Track 1 — Agentic Search: Context Management in Research Agents** Agentic search is not just about retrieving information. It is about delivering the right context, in the right form, at the right time for an agent to reason effectively. In this talk, we explore the architecture behind deep research systems through lessons from building Tavily’s research API. We examine how agent harnesses are designed, how context is managed across multi-step workflows, and which context engineering techniques most improve performance in practice. Evan Rimer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Tavily **Track 2 — Workshop** Hands-On with OpenClaw: Bring Your Own Model (continued) Mikhail Rozkhov, TPM, Nebius  ### 15:50-16:05 –– Keynote address  ### 16:05-16:20 –– Fireside chat with keynote speaker Waqas Makhdum, VP of Developer Relations & Community, Nebius  ### 16:20-16:30 –– Wrap up and closing remarks Waqas Makhdum, VP of Developer Relations & Community, Nebius  ### 16:30 –– Help bar Networking happy hour with bites

**We are starting into a new round of having some human magic happen :)** **What to expect at an Authentic Games Berlin event?** Authentic Relating is embodied communication practice. We search for authenticity – staying true to your needs, feelings and boundaries – while relating to other human beings with their needs, feelings and boundaries. **Theme of the evening: Stepping Beyond Identity** Where are you from? – living in multicultural city like Berlin, you've probably heard or asked this question multiple times. Even though it sounds like a simple question, it might sometimes be rather difficult or even uncomfortable to answer. It can bring up many different feelings. In its core it is often a question about identity, and identity can be complicated. The word „identity” is close to „identical”. To identify with something means to recognize similarities between myself and that thing. As humans we often identify with nations, ethnicities genders, professions and so on. Identity is about belonging, but its also about presumptions and stereotypes, that can lead to conflicts and violence. We can see the examples of that all around us. But what if we could free ourselves of all of it? In this session we will try to dismount and drop our identities in search for alternative ways to relate with each other. Come to experience resonance, attunement, curiosity and get inspired to reshape the way we co-exist. As always: Come curious and leave connected. Join us on Tuesday, **28th April** 2026 at **Café Maggie**, [Frankfurter Allee 205, 10365 Berlin](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Frankfurter%20Allee%20205%2C%2010365%20Berlin), **7–9 pm** (please come to land up to 15 minutes earlier, as we start at the full hour, doors close at 7pm) **Price** The event is donation based. Cash or PayPal only, no registration needed. Suggested donation: 8-20 €. No one will be turned away due to the lack of funds. **What to bring?** Nothing but you. You have everything you need to take part in this experience of human connection. **Everyone is welcome to join. Even if you are on the waitlist here on Meet-Up, please come and join us - we will have a spot for you.** **No previous experience with Authentic Relating Practices needed.** **Spread the word. Bring a friend - all are welcome. We look forward to seeing you there.** **Accessibility and diversity note** We aim to make our Authentic Games events accessible and diverse. We would like to explicitly welcome everybody, regardless of age, social background, identity, body shape, (dis)abilities etc. We put effort into dismantling biases and systems of oppressions we participate in as well as meeting various access needs. Feel free to contact us at [[authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com](http://authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com)]([mailto:authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com](http://mailto:authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com)) if you have any concerns or questions in this regard. Authentic Games events are based on talking and listening to other people in pairs, trios or bigger groups. Depending on the number of participants, this may generate a considerable level of noise in the space. The event is held in English with possible translation to German or Polish. While playing the game you can talk in a language you choose with your partner(s). Sometimes the games may also involve movement (for example walking). Consensual touch with other participants is allowed but never necessary. The upcoming event is happening in Café Maggie at Frankfurter Allee 205 – next to U-Bahn Magdalenenstraße. The space is on the ground floor, but there is one small doorstep at the entrance. There is a barrier free toilet inside. Despite the name, you cannot buy drinks in Café Maggie, but we provide water and tea for participants.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️** Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: https://luma.com/q57evozo?utm_source=meetup** Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance. **Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.** We are excited to host a **BLISS x dida** workshop featuring **Elias Trommer** from **Infineon**, who will guide us through an interactive session on Embedded AI. ​​​ **Title:** Deep Learning Models on 5€ microcontrollers 📅 **Date:** 29.04.2026 🕕 **Time:** 18:00 📍 **Location:** TU Berlin Marchstrasse 23 [Room 0.011] ​​​The session will last around 2 hours, followed by a networking session with **dida** and fellow AI enthusiasts (and free pizza!🍕). Bring your laptop! *** ​**Abstract**: In this workshop, we will discuss the unique challenges (and solutions) faced when deploying Deep Learning models to embedded microcontrollers. These tiny devices are increasingly capable of running models, even for relatively complex use cases, but come without many of the comforts of a classic computer. When deploying a model to a microcontroller, a much deeper understanding of the physical hardware and good knowledge of the various optimization paths that help reduce the resource consumption of an application is needed. We aim to shed some light on how to deploy models to these cheap, ubiquitous and sometimes surprisingly capable little pieces of hardware. ​**In this session, we will cover:** * ​Important differences between a desktop/server and a bare-metal embedded system * ​Quantization for model compression * ​Anatomy of an Embedded Application * ​Embedded ML Inference Engines and how to run them * ​Deploying a model step by step ​**Who is this event for?** This session is targeted at anyone with basic ML knowledge. Experience with C and embedded systems is probably helpful, but not required. We will cover the most important aspects as part of the workshop. **⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡** **You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend.

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
