On my first trip to the US, a homeless man saw me going straight towards a well-known (except to me) not very safe place in SF. He told me to avoid it but also gave me a tour of a cooler neighbourhood nearby before heading back towards his initial destination.

J'ai séché une semaine de cours en 6e pour jouer à Super Metroid, il ne me reste plus qu'à monter un studio et faire quelques bangers !

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Je regrette de l'avoir gardée dans mon backlog aussi longtemps car cette discussion avec Jake Solomon, ex-codeur/concepteur/directeur créatif chez Firaxis, est riche en anecdotes croustillantes et en infos sur la vie d'un studio ! thebusinessofvideogamespodcast.podbean.com/e/business-o...

Devastated. Outside of consistently hearing him be very pro-player and anti-shitty corporate practices I can’t speak to Vince professionally, but personally he was such a down to earth, funny, warm person. The industry already feels far less bright without him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Petite victoire du week-end : atteindre l'Ascension 12 avec un score de 1200 à la fin de ma dernière run de Slay the Spire. (Oui, j'ai un peu replongé à cause du jeu de plateau et des news récente sur le deuxième épisode)

« La rédac’ de l'époque aurait préféré vitrifier le site au napalm que changer une note. » Pour les 25 ans de Gamekult, @gautoz.cool revient sur les notes gravées dans le marbre, la légende du coup de molette… et un certain 7/10.

Quantic Foundry does legit trustworthy analysis of gamer behaviour, and these survey results are shockingly negative toward genAI, to the point where I’m more hopeful that data driven mobile and AAA backpedals on their uses.

Intéressant (mais pas si étonnant vu leurs différences de diffusion) d'avoir Undertale mais aucun des MOTHER dans cette liste. Je m'attendais aussi à trouver EVE Online ou DOTA quelque part, même si Warcraft 3 doit compter pour ce dernier.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

More people should be excited about THE OUTFOXIES! At the very least, because it's a pre-Smash platform fighter and Dweeb the chimp is cooler than DK because he has a top hat and can use a rocket launcher. But yeah, previously arcade-only so it's great that it's finally coming to console tomorrow!

Je suis, comme il y a quinze ans avec la ruée vers l'écriture pour l'algo google, en total et profond désaccord avec cette injonction (constante). La standardisation industrielle a tué les 3/4 des industries, et la presse est en train de crever de la même chose.

🚨DISCO EPISODE TWO IS UP❗ Getting to explore & document the original ZA/UM studio was a surprisingly eye opening experience. As was talking to so many of the original developer about those days. I really like this episode, I hope you do too. WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrVW...

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

I've been working on puzzle design on Order of the Sinking Star at Thekla for the past 2 and a half years, and I'm excited the game has just been announced!! It's a special game, made by a lot of talented people, and I hope everyone enjoys it when it comes out!
