Pas d’opinion sur l’euthanasie.

Mais ça me fait un peu marrer d’utiliser le terme “sécularisé” comme version plus politiquement correcte de “ces non-croyants qui pensent pas comme nous”.

Au départ “séculier” c’est du chrétien pour dire qui vit “dans le siècle” donc une vie pas entièrement dédiée à la religion (notamment pour la différencier de la vie monastique).

Si on se sert de sécularisé comme ça, ça implique un peu que vivre dans son temps c’est antireligieux.

Wow, freaking Dungeons of Dredmor getting an update? I just checked, last time I played that was 14 years ago… And I did play a lot of it back then.

That’s crazy.

AI detection by AI is not reliable. Lots of false negatives, and comparatively less but still too much reporting false positives to be reliable (and those are especially biased).

It’s unlikely to get better too. If AI was able to reliably detect AI output, why not use that to correct itself to be less AI-like? And where is the seemingly infinite money thrown at in this struggle?

Nobody holds a phone that way unless they are filming or taking pics, and if someone do that constantly with no clear intention, people around are probably going to feel discomfort.

I love Zachtronics games that have been recommended a few times already. But for a different genre…

Ni no kuni is a RPG that was kind of that, with a big (originally physical) book of magic. But since it’s been remade on many platforms as a digital download, the book is there in a rather boring (but useable) pdf reader-like UI and has been made a bit less useful.

It’s still rather charming having this in-universe codex-like book listing gameplay elements, items, recipes, bestiary, and bits of lore about the world (and some pages just telling random fables about whatever). Nowhere near required reading for the game though, just occasionally useful.

The cigarette is not part of the paleocyberpunk style though, it’s normal Flintstones-core.

It’s a bit hard for me to evaluate how it would be to read that one as an entry point into Discworld, because, yeah, I pretty much read them all… All books have a theme and tell a whole story (except the very first two that are really one storyline), and they tend to quickly reintroduce everyone when needed. It might be okay to dive in at that point and beside a little weirdness, it shouldn’t be too confusing… Maybe.

But I don’t think you would need to read them all sequentially, in any case. Discworld stories typically follow different groups of characters. Just reading a few of the related stories might help familiarizing with the recurring characters in this one. In this specific case, this is pretty much a Witches story with no connection to anyone else. If you wanted an introduction to both these characters and the world, Wyrd Sisters is a good one.

That site sums it up rather well, you can see the Witches sub-series is 6 books (and Equal Rites doesn’t matter much IMO) :

Fire Emblem 7 was just called “Fire Emblem” internationally (first one to be released out of Japan). Even the actual first Fire Emblem had a subtitle in Japan, like all of them, but no, this one will just be “Fire Emblem” for you, that’s not confusing at all.

And then there’s that terrible trend…

Castlevania (N64) is just called Castlevania… for reasons. And so is Circle of The Moon in Europe. None are remakes or retelling of the first Castlevania. Also, consider Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), and Prince of Persia (2008).

Kirby’s Return to Dreamland is titled “Kirby’s Adventure Wii” in Europe, despite not being a Kirby’s Adventure remake. I’m including this one even though it technically has the “Wii” to distinguish it because there was an actual Adventure remake that, of course, did not have Kirby’s Adventure at all in its name (Nightmare in Dreamland).

I rarely do that, but when I do, it’s not a case of too boring (those I just forget about entirely). It’s the kind of game that feels so wrong I just have to see how bad it gets.

Okamiden on the DS is my go-to example. Absolute fan of the original, but I finished that pseudosequel in one long, angry session.

Another would be Pokémon Pearl. Terribly balanced with the most tedious world to traverse I’ve experienced in a Pokémon game. It was part of a gen 4 to gen 7 playthrough with dex transfer so I committed to it. Black, Z, Alpha Sapphire, Moon? Yeah, had fun with all of them. Pearl was complete ass.

There’s a very good Pratchett book (Carpe Jugulum) built on the premise that old-school vampires do indeed always leave convenient stuff a vampire killer would need. Like easily torn curtains, furniture that can be arranged in a cross shape, etc.

With, on the contrary, a “modern” vampire dad rejecting all of it and trying to make his family adventurer-proof.

Wow this is right. At this point it’s beyond clickbait and outright lie.

Why not just take random words from what he said and just make up a complete new quote out of it while they’re at it.

Probably just that the Addams make anything they do weird and at least a bit creepy, even when it’s a little girl doing innocent little girl things.

Normies there meeting her for the first time are like “What’s wrong with that girl ?”

Make that a chameleon specifically. Can see you with one eye and watch in a completely different direction with the other.

No depth perception though.

Of all the things I had to change on my switch (1), I had to do a joy con battery once. It was annoying because the only third party battery I could find was like one millimeter wider and was a pain to insert.

Mostly my repairs were loads of sticks and joy con rails. Once i had to change the switch fan that started to fail too. Also the shitty plastic on the backplate started to crack and I replaced it too.

I even replaced the sd card slot, but I think I didn’t need to do that in the end. I had read errors that were due to software and I “just” needed to transfer my games to the system memory and back to the SD again. Weird stuff.

Haven’t needed to repair anything on the 2 yet. I hope it’s a bit more reliable.

I agree.

Also. because of the way they work and how people use them as a source of information, all LLMs are dangerous.

Just checked on wikipedia… Origin of the solanaceae family is thought to be around 80 million years ago.

Stegosaurus went extinct around 145 million years ago.

They’ll be waiting for their potatoes a long time .

They’ve progressively added storage upgrades (the last ones are not cheap, but at the point they added them I had way more than enough bells and basically nothing else to use them).

I do the whole catalog hunt, so storage was kind of a struggle initially. I don’t keep orderable or easily craftable stuff if I don’t need it. I just “scan” them by having it in my inventory and then I can re-obtain them whenever I want (easier when you can exchange your finds with other people too). But lots of items are not orderable so those I had to keep. Also lots of bugs and fish for models. Literal walls of cages and tanks crammed on a corner of my island.

But now I am wasting space with the random crap I find and still can’t reach the ludicrous new max limit.

I agree, the combination of the incorrect character, the “random” doubling of it and the way they did not respect the developer’s decision to change their logo makes it hard to believe it was a mistake.

To me it really sounds like the change of logo made some piece of shit angry, and then they thought they’d “correct” it.

Funny, I have the original standard NWN box, it was already a lot smaller than the big old school boxes, and definitely a lot smaller than the NWN 2 here (I’m assuming it’s a collector edition of sort, maybe?).

I still have a few old big boxes like that though. The only one I really like to the point it earned a spot in my game shelf is the Creatures one. It looks so cool.

Can’t find the exact one I have (early French edition I guess) but it’s that art with (fortunately) a lot less crap tacked over it :

Mine just has GT and cyberlife logos in corners and the silly digital DNA warning.
