I was drooling over that Terra only last week but ended up going North. Beautiful cases!

What a beautiful image!

Religion is a private matter. When you start spreading it all over the place, then no, it has no place in school or in our (France) society in general.
I was the victim of this attitude when I was a teen and my family wanted me to follow our religion and yet I still agree with this attitude. My main beef wasn’t with the institution but with how specific teachers decided to deal with me. Ultimately I got over religion, and hopefully some of those kids will, too.

You heard of that thing that happened called Me Too? So weird, right, how the victims feel stronger even they are not alone anymore?

She literally tells you she feels she can tell her story now that shit is hitting the fan, whereas she knew she’d have been shot down if it had come out in isolation.

Of course she wants to had fuel to the fucking fire. And may it burn bright!

Yes well done, you correctly grasped that she was not mentally well at that point, then somehow failed to understand how that could have happened given everything she just explained to you.

There was one fight against a boss that was a huge pain in the ass because he tackles you just as you exit a door to the roof and if you don’t use the right maneuver, blam! you have to restart and listen to his monologue. Again and again and again. Dear gods, it was so bad it’s actually the only thing I remember from the game.
Which is a damn shame because it really was revolutionary, the architecture is fantastic, and the parkour is flawless. Even the “you don’t have to fight” thing was genuine! I literally did not fight a single guy… until that damn roof, where I suddenly had to learn the parry maneuver the hard way. Shame.

Or, possibly, she gets promised a very lucrative position at Amazon in a few years if she toes the line…

“Hey you guys, come and use our totally free online thing. We promise we won’t use anything you do for our own gains! Pinky swear!”

You don’t mind porn? Go and play the AVN Acting Lessons. It’s on Steam. It’s not too long but the punch it packs… it has this reputation of “the AVN you’ll never wanna play again”. I like to compare it to Requiem for a Dream.
If you want less heart-rending tears, I just finished chapter 3 of Being a Dik and there were tears, but the kinda good emotional kind. I’m the first surprised, but it seems to be a signature of the author and I quite like it.

Otherwise I’m playing Metro Exodus and man, that game is oozing with that uniquely Russian despair. No tears yet, but I’m preparing for some dark moments and the whole thing is just… wow. Mad Max had beautiful everything, but M:E has fantastic writing throughout. It all feels deeply personal and with that dreadful feeling of inevitability. And you only get to see/hear it if you want, mostly. Very glad I gave this game a second chance (it’s very… clunky. Again in that typical slavic way, I guess; but it works if you accept it as it is).

You can’t call yourself X and then not go all dark, that makes perfect sense.
I’m just waiting for the Radio X-like slogans, for the full effect : “we’re the end of the alphabet people, that’s got to mean something, but we don’t know what”

Best GTA-like I’ve played. Completely ignored the driving part and focused on the beat-em up part. I wish Yakuza was a fraction as good in the fighting department, because otherwise I feel like it would be a perfect fix for me.
So wish there was a sequel! T_T

A bunch of AVNs imma purchase on the next Steam sale. Although I might buy them full price because I like what I’ve played so far and I think it’s vital to vote with one’s wallet, but also encourage independent developers. I’ve been buying a lot of independent games lately, instead of waiting for bigger titles to drop in price. Mostly because I’m tired of mediocrity in a shiny package.

The repacker (they don’t crack anything!) that could teach a thing or two to those morons who send games with packages in the hundreds of gigabytes to users. Seriously good work.

I didn’t really get into Prey as well as the Dishonored series. They went for a Bioshock kinda thing where you start off weak as fuck and, I guess, become more and more of a badass, but I’ve been quite a few hours into it and now I got myself into a conundrum I see now way out of, and I have not once felt like a badass so far.

The game really is aptly named, so no hate on Arkane on that one. You are supposed to be a prey, not the ultimate predator of the Dishonored series.

Maybe I’ll get back to it because otherwise it’s great and they did an awesome job on all the environments, monsters, in-game UI, varied approaches etc.

There was some sleeping, but at my age, playing a game over the course of one long weekend is definitely “one sitting” ;)

Surprisingly, The Witcher 2!
I believe 3 and its DLC had come out at that point, meanwhile, i had paused the first, which I had bought on release, somewhere before its third act. Somehow I got back into it and finished it in a few weeks.
Then I booted up the second opus and the changes were so drastic! It was amazing! Everything that was a hassle in the first was pretty much gone!
And that story was fantastic, with a proper dilemma at the heart of it : you had to pick a size and stick with the consequences.
I finished the entire thing in a very long weekend, completely enthralled and picked up the third instantly afterwards.
And somehow things got even better!
