# The WASD Weekly: 10/13/23 By [WASD](https://paragraph.com/@wasdmedia) · 2023-10-13 --- **Author:** [**FaultProofBen**](https://twitter.com/BenGiove) Gm and welcome to The WASD Weekly! The SBF trial may have stolen the headlines, but it was quietly another big week for onchain games. Influence launched their limited release on Starknet. Paima Studios expanded to Arbitrum with the launch of Nova Chess. And AltLayer began their Ottie2048 tournament. Teams are shipping, infrastructure is being built, and the player base is growing. We may be deep in the throes of a bear market – But the onchain gaming ecosystem has yet to get the memo. Now, without further ado: Here’s this week’s biggest news and best content, along with my picks for three games to try over the weekend. And of course… …The S-Tier Meme of the Week!!! 👇👇 * * * **🗞️The TLDR:** ---------------- _The hottest news from the last week in onchain gaming and autonomous worlds._ * [![User Avatar](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/175ffe743b90cecdefa7a78c9e26acd5f3f569b083eddf6699023896eebc23ad.jpg)](https://twitter.com/klickdotgg) [KlickGG 🎮](https://twitter.com/klickdotgg) [@klickdotgg](https://twitter.com/klickdotgg) [![Twitter Logo](https://paragraph.com/editor/twitter/logo.png)](https://twitter.com/klickdotgg/status/1712405500053368955) ICYMI: ![🌐](https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f310.png) Nova Chess by [@PaimaStudios](https://twitter.com/PaimaStudios) is now live on Arbitrum Nova ([@arbitrum](https://twitter.com/arbitrum)).
