    Thought of the day...

    And when your partner talks to you about their problems, you don't always have to look for/offer a solution. Sometimes, all they're looking for is some support and understanding. It's something that many men get wrong, because we're taught that we need to act and solve problems while compassion...

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    The recent release of the remake made me want to try the original Actraiser (SNES) a game that's part action-platformer, part "god game". The action platformer is well designed, but it shows that it's an early title of the SNES. The animations are a bit stiff and while the movement is ok, it...

    The Communication Cube

    That doesn't mean that there are any performance improvements. That's the kind of line you add automatically to your release note because: - You might have done some small fixes here and there so it's good to mention it - You have updated your librairies/framework/SDK, and this might mean bug...

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    I've decided to give the Kunio-Kun series a try. I've started with Renegade/Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-Kun (arcade version) but gave up after being unable to get past the first level. It's interesting. It's a pre-double dragon beat 'em up on the paper it's got good concepts and could be cool, but the...

    itch.io

    Yes, but many of them are Unity, which is (or at least was, when I tried) hit and (mostly, in my experience) miss with box86.

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    They say that the 5G (but also 4G LTE) radiation could have effect on the blood that could make COVID-19 effects worse. It would be similar to the effect air pollution has on some diseases (making you more likely to catch them or die from them). They base some claims on non peer-review studies...

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    Finished Cybernator (SNES) aka "Assault Suit Valken" on my Pandora. It's a "run and gun" with mechs in big levels with (often) multiple paths. Ìt plays very similarly to "Front Mission: Gun Hazard", except that it's action-only so it's more skill-based. It's not bad, but I didn't find it that...

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    Yes, it's a visual novel that looks like a JRPG, a bit like "To the moon", except that I enjoyed "To the moon" more.

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    I've been playing fan-translated Japan-only SNES games recently (still on my Pandora) : - Ihatovo Monogatari : A "combat-less JRPG" based on writings from a Japanese author. Could have been interesting, but the problem is that the way to move forward in the story is to talk to every single NPC...

    The Communication Cube

    I haven't watched the video but the title and text snippet are wrong. 2FA in itself is an additional security layer. It's using an alternate method to check that you are who you claim to be, in case the primary authentication method has been compromised. It's nothing new, it has long been used...

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    Vaccination data show that people in rich countries were vaccinated first and in most countries, rich people are generally more vaccinated than poor people. If I expected "the powers that be" to plan to reduce the human population, I'd expect them to do it the other way around.

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    Stage III trial isn't for long term effects (no vaccine ever had long term effects and there's no theoretical reason why there would be long term effects), it's to assess the efficiency of the vaccine against infections (this is why we started with estimates that were regularly updated).

    Absurdism corner

    In the past, Boris Johnson has used that kind of technique to bury bad new or scandals. Many politicians do it, but his approach usually went a bit further by using words that would be used for the scandal/bad news so that any search on that topic would be buried behind the news of the stupid...

    A question for those that had Pandoras and have their Pyras now

    I think it isn't fair to compare the Pyra on release with the Pandora as it is now, after a few years of software updates.

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    It's common for many vaccines to have boosters. The "expiration" date varies from vaccine to vaccine and from people to people. When you have only a few vaccinated people (for example animal handlers who have rabbies vaccines), you can have check their immunity level and determine whether or not...

    Global Chip Shortage Threatens Production of Laptops, Smartphones and More

    The best solution would be to fix the safety problem at the source and have less cars on the roads and/or less roads dedicated to cars.

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    It's more complex than this black-and-white morality. First of all, as @pyrat mention, there are those who joined because they wanted/liked to beat up people and joining the police/army is a way to do it legally. I haven't seen any study about this but I have heard it firsthand from someone and...

    I think that some SMS app offer a feature like this.

    Release Easy RPG PND for Pandora

    Thanks a lot for still maintaining your Pandora ports. As a still active Pandora user without plans to update to a Pyra, I appreciate it a lot.

    COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

    They were already doing it before the pandemic and even now they do it with "woke ideology" rather than the pandemic.
