Polyvinci Volume 7, Issue 79, for April 2025, "Arcade High Scores. The fallacy of World Records. By Editor Chris Crusadio.". (NOTE: As of 06/09/25/0656, this issue is still being worked on, as is the issue for May and June. We'll be fully operational by July 1. We are busy working on Frontier Pop at the moment, which needed a lot more work than expected; right now, the site is looking good, however! Read updates below for more).

UPDATE 08/15/25/2121/2125: Still working on Frontier Pop, and it should be caught up this weekend. Once that is caught up, this site will be overhauled and reformatted; we've been waiting for that work to get done. Once this web site is overhauled and we have several issues published, we will be building and deploying at least sixteen Polyvinci branded web sites, including the web site for our underground subculture organization, the Polyvinci Society, which will soon have hundreds of members. We are also working on a pop culture and entertainment convention which will tie into our pop culture web sites.

UPDATE 06/23/25/0150/0159: Still working on Frontier Pop. Once that is caught up, this site will be overhauled and reformatted. We should be updating with regular issues and several retroactively published back issues every month by July 2025. There will be more geopolitics in the July 2025 issue, which will be about the conflict between Israel and the United States and Iran. The August 2025 issue is also now in planning. It will be controversial, about a mysterious Arcade game called Polybius, which may or may not have existed, and our take on how such a game would work, based on the technology available in 1981. By the way, Polybius is trademarked (we checked. We always check for clearance), but the issue will be about the Arcade game, which many consider to be an urban legend. Many people have made Arcade games that use the name and capitalize on it in recent years, including game coding legend Jeff Minter, who love to make trippy games, but the actual Arcade game is lost to time.

UPDATE 06/09/25/0703/0720/: We are currently working hard in the Rabbit Hole that we refer to as Frontier Pop. The site is old, going back to 2010, and it took a lot more work than we anticipated overhauling it to Omnicapire standards established in 2024, and we even exceeded that with more improvements; Omnicapire is now due for an upgrade as a result. For the past week, we have put many hours into Frontier Pop, and it is now looking really good. It's now a solid online publication platform and work is transitioning to actually writing and working on issues, which is what we are working on this morning, all morning. Currently, three issues for Polyvinci are in the works (this will change as we are able to work on this site). The June issue is about geopolitics, meaning China and Taiwan, with the current economy factored in (Not a simple topic), the May issue is about the Nintendo Switch 2 (We are not impressed), and April is about Arcade High Scores. By the time the July issue is due, we will be fully operational and up to speed. After Frontier Pop is fully operational, this site is next. Go over to Frontier Pop if you want to check out what is going on on our sister site.

UPDATE 05/02/25/1055/1101: The Polyvinci Logo is going to be remastered, and this web site is going to be overhauled to the design specifications, aspect ratio, and format standard established by our Omnicapire web site. Frontier Pop is getting a brand new logo which will be retroactively added to past issues as they are worked on and published. It will also be overhauled and upgraded to Omnicapire standards. Please keep in mind that all of our sites, while related, have segmented markets, are stand-alone web sites, do not link to each other, and do not use duplicate content, even if the subject coverage overlaps. Content written for issues on each site is written specifically for that site. To get the full scope of coverage of subjects, we recommend reading all of the issues on all of the sites. A fifth site, a brand new one interconnected directly with our online television series, is also in the works. Production of that series will begin over the Summer, and it will debut this Summer.

UPDATE 04/21/25/0828: Issue 80 for May 2025 is now in preproduction, and should be published at the beginning of May. It will be about the Nintendo Switch 2, problems with pricing in video games, and our speculation (and hope) for a video game crash (None of us are planning on buying a Switch 2, or many current video games, any time soon). We are also working on the issues for March 2025, February 2025, and January 2025, all due sometime in the next month as we retroactively publish back issues, working back toward issue 1 in October 2018 while we regularly write and publish new issues at the rate of one per month.

UPDATE 04/21/25/0818: Polyvinci, after years of sitting on the publication of our issues, is now publishing. We will publish one new issue a month, after which that issue will become the main page for its main subjects. New issues do not have to be large upon publication, as no issues is final, and content is added to each issue and the issues grow over time, becoming more comprehensive. At the time of this writing, we have 78 back monthly issues that will be published over time, leading back to our founding on October 15, 2018, October 2018 being issue 001. We will be writing and publishing several back issues a month until we get caught up. We are also building and deploying at least fifteen additional Polyvinci sites, which include, but are not limited to, the web site for The Polyvinci Society, our underground organization of Polyvincians and a part of The Frontier Society.

Welcome to Polyvinci, an online pop culture, entertainment, video game, enthusiast, niche interest, and current events publication and web site.
Like our predecessor before us, Frontier Pop, this web site will be published monthly, with no limits on updates as no issue is final, and with each issue becoming the main subject page for its main topic.
Frontier Pop will continue on, however, with a soft reboot starting with what the current publication Volume and Issue would be, and continuing from that point (with a legal disclaimer about the issue number not being literal). Frontier Pop will resume publication in the Summer of 2025. Frontier Pop will be more satire and will tackle more fringe and controversial topics than is appropriate for this web site publication. Frontier Pop will not be replaced by Polyvinci, but will rather supplement this web site.
This web site is now being worked on to make it fully operational during the Spring of 2025 in preparation for the start of publication of regular monthly issues on this web site.
The first few monthly issues of Polyvinci will be about the main topics that this web site covers, beginning with pop culture, as we need to establish core subject pages, which issues become after newer issues come online. The second issue will be about video games.

Publication notes
Polyvinci is published monthly, as close to the first of the month as possible, with a lead time of at least three months to plan issues.
Each issue has a main subject, which enables the issue to be organized by subject once newer issues take main stage.
As the publication covers a massive range of subjects and content, content must be managed to avoid losing readers due to focusing on subjects that do not have mass appeal. That known, each issue has to be “double” written, with an amount of content at least twice what issue would normally have. 50% of the content of each issue must have mainstream appeal, and the remainder of the content being above and beyond, covering content which is supplemental to content on the site organized under a general subject category elsewhere on the site, or establishing new subject content which has not necessarily been featured in any issue (yet. A future issue covering that subject would then already have content to link to to supplement the featured subject content of that issue). 50% of that “above and beyond” issue content (25% of total issue content) can then be devoted to specialized or special interest content, such as content covering pop culture.
Because no issue is final, and remains in play, with older issues becoming the main issue for the featured subject and guaranteed to be expanded on over time, there will be an update index on the front page (unlike the secretive updates on a talent resource web site) which will make referencing recent updates intuitive, user-friendly, and easy. These updates will also be referenced on the main issue “core” pages.

"Many Renaissance People" is the slogan of the Polyvinci web site.
Polyvinci is an online publication consisting of opinions, op-eds, entertainment, humor, satire, and a little bit of gaming, as well as information.
The Polyvinci Society web site, on the other hand, compliments Polyvinci as an online library database filled with well-organized information on subjects, a reference for Polyvinci. Although the organization itself has the “We Have Evolved” slogan, the slogan for the actual web site is “a Compendium of Knowledge”.
