Je pense que cette pub sonne très différemment pour les gens qui sont assez vieux pour avoir connu la période des Michel Leeb décomplexés et cie.

Perso, elle me met mal à l’aise aussi.

Game Freak is a third party studio. Apparently their next game is going to Xbox, PlayStation, and Windows but not the Switch.

Not the first time it happens too.

They made a seemingly simple 2D cartoon-style game called Tembo the badass elephant that could probably run on anything, and didn’t port it on either Wii U (not surprising) or 3DS (a bit more surprising).

The way they framed that was hilarious (and obviously, a lie). They said they were making the promotional art, with the title card, they added platform logos, XBox One, PS4, Steam… and it looked good like this so they decided, yeah, let’s stop there.

Poem for your sprog, right? Not been on reddit for a while, but encountering a post from that guy was generally a fun moment.

This is 17th century. Lots of actual Roman empire buildings were impressively sturdy and at least partially subsist, but this is nowhere near as old.

Not sure where OP is from, it might seem ancient if you’re from the US, but “twice as old as the White House” is not really that old in Europe.

Turin’s royal palace is from the 17th century. The western Roman empire had collapsed more than a millenium prior to this. Do you consider the Eiffel Tower a Roman monument too? or maybe a Parisii Gaul one?

You can obviously say that the Roman empire is one influence over western European architecture. But “Roman architecture” is going to imply the style and techniques used by the ancient Romans, and this palace was not built with those.

My parent’s TV is absolutely terrible, and the source menu is a big part of it.

It doesn’t show sources that have not sent any input since the TV was turned on. So when trying to get the Switch on it, I’d need to start the console first, then push the source button… and the menu is so slow to appear that the Switch has gone back to sleep mode before I can reach it…

Most remote design is honestly atrocious. Somehow they keep hiding “source” in random spots, when it should be one of the most important buttons. The obscure pictograms are all over the place, and most buttons will never be used by anyone.

I backed a kickstarter a while ago for a grip that let me hold my switch vertically, by attaching the joycons to the side. Used it for Ikaruga and a few other things (like pinballs).

Obviously vertical mode must be supported by the software, but it was a cool little thing. Maybe I’ll try to find something like this for the switch 2.

I discovered that game long after it was abandoned, and I love it. My dream is a version of this with a slightly modernized UI (especially since it was made for low-res 4:3 screen ratios), maybe more movie genres and mod integration for user content like planet coaster.

OK, je chie volontiers sur Sarkozy et je suis le premier à me réjouir qu’il ait enfin des comptes à rendre, mais la prison c’est pas le zoo. Si j’ai bien compris le projet, ils ont rien à foutre là-bas en particulier.

Wow, Shizof does it again. This sounds awesome, adding that to my MO2.

You can if it’s pointy. If it’s not edgy you can’t do slashy-slashies though, and that’s definitely a shame.

I had only seen the trainwreck of a boxart from Konami’s castlevania double pack on GBA.

But the actual cartridge is hilarious too. Silly cartoon title wordart, baby blue background with funky sunburst pattern, not a single mention of the two titles that are included…

Perfect, the way IGA intended.

That tracks, it’s like a reverse Kessel Run.

J’avais eu un livre, je dois encore l’avoir quelque part. C’était plein d’extraits tirés de la littérature avec des applications de maths et de logique commentés.

Il y avait un passage sur le petit prince qui s’est fait sa géométrie rien qu’à lui où un triangle équilatéral a 3 angles droits. Parce que son espace à 2 dimensions, c’est pas un plan, c’est la surface sphérique de son planétoïde.

Je l’ai fait tous les ans au collège/lycée, je trouvais ça marrant et les fascicules qui allaient avec et les bouquins qu’on pouvait gagner étaient sympa.

J’ai pas pu en terminale, on avait demandé au prof de maths comment ça se fait qu’on avait pas entendu parler de la session de cette année-là, il nous a juste fait “nan, je vous ai pas inscrit, vous avez mieux à foutre”.

En plus c’était le genre de prof qui aime les exercices un peu ludiques, jamais trop compris ce qu’il reprochait au kangourou.

Bien d’accord, faire l’impasse sur le reste des sciences et techniques pour ceux qui s’orientent vers la SVT c’est débile.

J’ai fait un stage en université dans un labo de bio-informatique. On bossait avec des outils mathématiques bien poussés, et c’était il y a 20 ans de ça.

En plus dans SVT y a le T aussi, et même côté géologie, je suis à peu près sûr que la physique et la chimie ça peut être un tout petit peu important.

I have those too.

Those are not the game I spent the most on though, they’re the bundle extras, the games I’ve found dirt cheap and thought “yeah, I might play that sometimes”… And I am trying to limit those, I had a phase like that but I don’t care much about the bundles/big sales craze anymore.

Video games are not that expensive IMO, unless you really want it to be. It’s my main hobby, I certainly don’t have a crazy income, but I still have enough games for several lifetimes. My bank account is not the limit here, my time is.

Sure, hardware cost might be a bit steep once in a while, but you don’t really need to go for the cutting edge, and there is no point having everything on release either.
