I thought there might be at least one shmup. The R9 from R-Type? The Vic Viper? Silver Hawk? Fighting Thunder?

Still really cool though!

I hate it. I open the windows in winter. I live in Normandy and we’re on the last stretch. Luckily we had a working fan, every shop in town is sold out!

The warning we had last Saturday at midnight was intense:

We’ll have an OK week then another heatwave the second week of July. I’ve a mini-AC on order!

Electronic Travel Authorization vs Temporary Resident Visa… If you need the visa you must provide proof of funds and itinerary and other docs. The bar is much higher for folks from Ghana.

Going through the checklist makes it seem easy:

But then…

You must meet some basic requirements to get a visitor visa.

You must:

• have a valid travel document, like a passport
• be in good health
• have no criminal or immigration-related convictions
• convince an immigration officer that you have ties—such as a job, home, financial assets or family—that will take you back to your home country
• convince an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit
• have enough money for your stay
  • The amount of money you will need depends on how long you will stay and if you will stay in a hotel, or with friends or relatives.

And it costs $100CAD and things change if you are applying from the US or from Ghana.

But, speaking of updates, French YouTuber Vinu explained that ININ games contacted him to beta test the patches for R-Type III. Along with 2 other testers they are ironing out the bugs!

(Note: The AI English dub on that video is weird as hell…)

This heat wave sucks. Too hot to enjoy anything.

Looks like the game still feels bad…

I remember Groove. I liked it, but I saw it when I was 16 and grew up in the boonies and had no idea what a rave actually was. Still don’t. Loved the part where the drugs kicked in for that one dude.

Great band for prog lovers. First time I hear them was when a teacher in middle school busted out his guitar and sang Pour un instant in history class for no reason at all.

Nice one. Someday I’ll get around to those ones. I like a good commentary.

Playing some arcade-inspired modern-retro stuff and enjoying it. Not sure which I like the most of my pickups, but as a recommendation Freddy Farmer has an OK amount of content and challenge for a game I paid €2 for.

Possibly regional or you need an update?

(it doesn’t help, but I can watch this video in France on NewPipe)

J’ai eu des résultats très différents entre les 2 versions du quiz.

e.g. le 1er passe au 6e

J’aime beaucoup ce genre de truc. En tant qu’étranger qui n’a pas voté depuis 20ans c’est intéressant d’avoir accès à toute cette information afin de comparer.

Sonic is cool, but I have been awful at Sonic games for all of those 35 years.

This one works. I’m a prof and people get me to download papers for them all the time.

Last time I checked trees were among the rarest resources in the solar system.

I haven’t seen one yet. Maybe they don’t use them in every part of France?

Managed to keep my indoor temp under 30 today here in Normandy. No AC. Not looking forward to the next few days.

Every 3 days those goofs are telling us some new BS (it is good enough to improve itself, it is too powerful, it is whatever so watch out because now it is better at everything) only for it to…not happen. They try to scare people into giving up and giving in. Of course people don’t like it. There is nothing sadder than an individual or company declaring that they like AI.

Breakout 71 and Shattered Pixel Dungeon are super addictive
