What do you mean, not even the traditional 10% launch discount? Is nothing sacred? Do you really need me to watch me go against all my core principles? 😢 #minathehollower #videogames

Après avoir agonisé pendant un mois parce que je devais faire ma déclaration d'impôts, rongé de culpabilité et d'appréhension, après l'avoir repoussée jusqu'au dernier moment, j'ai finalement pris mon courage à deux mains et me suis assis devant mon PC pour y passer le temps nécessaire […]

This museum exhibition has the strongest point-and-click videogame room energy.

Un compte rendu chez Mediapart de la grève chez Kylotonn (possédé par Nacon, en redressement judiciaire), et plus globalement de l'état inquiétant de l'industrie du #JeuVidéo en France.

Happy #lilacday, to those who celebrate.🪻 Truth, Justice, Reasonably-priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg. :pratchett:

Ok that new #gamechanger episode had me in tears

Les typographes ont un humour fin et subtil, difficilement accessible au néophyte.

The demo of _A Fox Tale_ is nice, but it feels a bit too much as a wanabe _Celeste_ to my taste, while not having as good movements as its inspiration. Hopefully there are more new mechanics introduced in the full game to make it more distinct.

TIL "denim" comes from French "de Nîmes" because it was originally a fabric produced in the south of France, in Nîmes. #themoreyouknow

Buenas noches

The bathtub curve, but for tech literacy

At some point maybe we could assemble a lot of people all over the world, and pool a big prize of money to bet that Trump won't be assassinated in the next two months on PolyMarket or something. And, you know, let the market do its work, as they say.

Le dernier post de Valérie Rey-Robert à propos de la condamnation de Ruggia est dur à entendre mais très juste. > La gauche a une doctrine pénale. Ou plutôt : elle devrait en avoir une, cohérente, qui ne varie pas selon la sympathie qu'on éprouve pour le condamné ou la honte que lui inspire sa […]

Au vue des récentes fuites de données, l'état français vous recommande de changer votre nom, prénom, date de naissance et genre régulièrement afin d'éviter de vous prémunir d'éventuelles attaques (attention pour plus de sécurité vous ne pourrez pas réemployer l'un des 10 derniers nom, prénom […]

75% de la fraude à la Sécu se fait par les professionnels et les établissement privés. La fraude des patients ne représente que 7% ( 33 millions d'€) de la fraude totale (723 millions d'€) . Le reste de cette fraude, soit 690 millions d'€ ce sont des […] [Original post on piaille.fr]

Je perds les pédales.

An very good long read by doc, about samurais, their portrayal in medias, historical accuracy and why it all matters. Truly excellent, even more so if you enjoy(ed) any of _Ghost of Tsushima_ , Kurosawa's movies, _Shogun_ , _The Chrysanthemum and the Sword_ , or Star Trek's Klingons.

Est-ce que j'ai 10% de vote en plus sur ma prochaine élection ?

Good morning

Congratulations to Angela Vergara for her rapid promotion as head of the LEPF Party.

When I said that your discord clone doesn’t need e2ee, I got a lot of comments along the lines of “ then how would I use it to organize the revolution!” The answer is: you don’t. If you have more users than can comfortably share a Signal chat and hence want to use discord or something like it […]

TR-49 feels like a polished Type Help, and I enjoyed it very much. I love how these new database games, following in the footsteps of Her Story or Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective, feel now less like a #videogames genre and more like a new, different way to write stories.

🧼 When a spot turns into an unexpected side quest! Finding this old bathhouse house (hammam) in Lebanon had me walking in circles. Arriving at the approximate location highlighted by my research, I could see nothing but shop stalls in the souk. I threaded my […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

On a music app I can click "Search" then "Search by album title" then type what I'm looking for, and browse the results. I can also click "Random Albums" and get 20-ish random albums immediately. So the other day I was looking for a specific album but kept clicking "Random Albums" to try and […]

_The Séance of Blake Manor_ was good, but still harbor the two core issues plaguing detective games: * stuff your character understands (and solve) before you do and, worse, * stuff you understand before your character (and then must painfully find the game designer's intended way to solve […]

Oh my god, I did not realise there's another entire #roottrees game behind the Roottrees game!

Is there a reason why so many creators don't want to sell the android version of their videogame on itch? They could even do it as a separate sell, if money really is the issue? I profundy hate buying anything on the Google Play Store, but for games I want to play on my phone that's usually the […]

Musing about comparisons between #ttrpg, and #videogames. I feel like one interesting difference is that, as a videogame designer, you _have_ to come up with interesting solutions to any problem you present to your players, because no solution can exist outside of what you put in the game […]

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

My end-of-year Hidden Gems list is up on PC Gamer! They asked me for 15. I did 30. Somehow, Weird Little Guys and The Apocalypse were a theme. 2025 was terrible in every other regard, but the games? Good. I also just updated my Steam Curator Page with all the stuff in the feature and a few others.

Pas rancunier pour un sou, je souhaite de tout cœur une bonne année 2026 à Nicolas Sarkozy. 🎉 Et surtout la Santé. 😘

I was recently reminded of this. A couple decades ago, I wrote a short paper that described how the basic approaches of cryptography and computer security lead to an efficient and practical privilege escalation attack against master-keyed mechanical lock, which I published in IEEE Security and […]

Mario Kart: what? “tutorial”? do you… do you not know how to play Mario Kart? does no-one in your family love you? Kirby Air Rider: we have prepared a series of 31 videos to explain the basic mechanics, and strongly recommend you peruse them in their entirety before you go off pressing any […]

I'm both laughing and crying. Please, please stop using that crap for translating stuff it's ridiculous. #videogames #translationfail

This is a public service announcement to **never** ever use Oracle

The new book from Sarkozy looks amazing. Can't wait for him to get the FIFA literature prize ⸮ #frpol

Concept : human.txt, un équivalent de robots.txt mais pour indiquer les réponses potentielles attendues à un toot. Ex : > Please do not hit reply to tell me about the first shit you googled. I had specific technical questions and would like specific technical answers, not vibes.

[frpol, Brigitte Macron, salesconnes] à propos de la séquence #salesconnes de Brigitte Macron et Abittan, l'avis de Valérie Rey-Robert me semble (comme souvent) très pertinent. > Ce déplacement doit nous alerter sur un point précis : le féminisme n’est plus seulement combattu, il est parasité […]

Ok well turns out _Showy Homes_ by Blookerstein is the GOTY actually. Sorry to Hades 2, Silksong, Blue Prince and Expedition 33, you've been bested by a ~10mn game.
