    The Communication Cube

    Lots of propaganda and misinformation on both sides, just like for the Ukraine-Russia war. Read some articles and Iran is destroying every American asset in the area and destroying the US economy while the US military has no resources left except for the occasional bombing of a school. Read...

    For once, I agree with kuru: I hope the influencers who left my country for Dubai won't be coming back as war refugees.

    Zombii (the 1986 game) had some great concepts for the time. Beyond Good and Evil : is quite similar to the N64 Zelda games with great world-building, varied gameplay (exploration, platforming, combat, stealth, photo taking, driving...) without any really "weak" part. The story is nice...

    Ubisoft made some great games. They have (had?) talented teams and some great ideas. The problem (besides a "boys club" internal culture and their increasingly shitty treatment of their teams) is, just like Activision/Raven Software, that the market rewarded them for repeating the same formula...

    No. These figures contained everything from theft (mostly offering boxes, that are easy prey for thieves) and graffiti on the walls (most of which are just random graffiti rather than attacks against Christianity) to actual hate-fueled damage. The latter are indeed increasing but are still low...

    Played through the first volume of EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER. (that is often part of itch's charity bundles). "A serial visual novel/mech brawler about four gay disasters beating up neonazis in giant robots made of meat." as the game maker says. For once, a *punk thing totally earns that suffix...

    That's my experience with the first Hitman games as well (I haven't played the recent ones). I'd enter a room, try to pick up a weapon on a table, take a nearby hammer instead, hear someone coming, get in the closet, close the left door, open the right door, close the right door but open the...

    The first game had its share of problems. Some were fixed in the sequel (I haven't played after Brotherhood), some weren't. But it also shows some promise of a game that could have been but never was, even in the sequels. The accidental deaths due to the character not doing what you expected is...

    Mecha Comet: Open Modular Linux handheld designed for dreamers, tinkerers and builders.

    Interesting, but I couldn't find many things about its GPU. Looks like it's a Mali-G310 V2, which seems to be decent but more of a low-end GPU.

    Finished Prince of Persia: Lost Crown on the Switch. Great game. The tutorial focuses a lot on combat but once in the game proper I was reassured to see that the platformer and puzzle parts had not been forgotten. And the platforming isn't just there to break the pace between combat: from the...

    Some people have XY chromosome but due to Swyer syndrome will be born with a vulva and a female phenotype. They'll generally be raised as girls. When they reach puberty age, they will not have puberty and this is often when it will be discovered that they have XY chromosome. Up to that point...

    Recently finished Sleeping Dogs, a GTA-like set in Hong-Kong that's supposed to draw inspiration from HK action movies. I've lived in HK for 6 months and loved the place so I was keen to experience it in video game form, and I also love HK action movies so on paper it was a perfect game for me...

    That brings back memories of my childhood and a magazine with a CD full of weird and wonderful doom mods

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    Played a few games recently : Figment 1 and 2: Isometric action-adventure games set in someone's mind. The fighting/action is pretty simple and the focus is more on puzzles, which is a good thing because I played it on my phone with touch controls. They are relatively short (in a good way, they...
