Yes the first dives in Dave the Diver are wonderful with the beautiful pixel art.

But I found this game deeply disturbing: you kill the most fish possible to make the most money possible, but not the dolphins because they are cute. I found this game is a perfect symbol of the overproductivism of our era, while the earth is dying. I know it's just a game, but the fact the game creator are not even aware of the philosophy their game is carrying, left a bitter taste in my mouth.

And yeah, the game is full of FOMO even in their dlcs, and the huge amount of collabs with other overly popular game make me think, in the end, it's a pure empty marketing vessel. An it's fake indie !

Dave the diver DLC is limited in time AND not free...Ouch ! I am glad I have lost interest in the game :)

I am playing 3 games in parallel:

  • Battlefield 4. Discovered only 2 months ago. The game is 10 years old and the server have, at best, only 2000 people in it ๐Ÿ˜‚. But it is great and achievements hunting is fun, quick quick before the servers close !
  • Control. It feels like "x-files, the game". It's mysterious, confusing and after all, enjoyable. The art direction and the fights are great.
  • Gris, my small game for the evening. Not really started but it's the replacement for my previous small game The Gardens Between which was .....ok. Enjoyable and short.

Ah, and I have ordered my Steam Deck ๐Ÿ™ˆ

There is a smart and funny french comic on this concept: "Imbattable" by Pascal Jousselin

The author plays with all the rules/codes of the European comics, one character can go through pages, another uses their speech "bubbles" as weapons, one uses the perspective of the objets, and the hero "Imbattable" can go through the page's frame.

English version

Highly recommended !

At first I found achievements a bit ridiculous, like in the old days at school where you received an image if you did good.

In the meantime, some smart achievements forced me out of my play style and made me try things I would never had the idea of trying. Those are the best achievements for me. The game with such achievements that triggered the achievement crazyneness of mine was Trine 2 ๐Ÿ˜

Thanks I'll have a look.

Unfortunately, my personal curse is the love of achievements ๐Ÿ˜…, and heroic support of them with GOG is still a little bit lacking. But with the new comet support with overlay in heroic, hopefully it will change soon.

Thanks for the really interesting mish mash of information ๐Ÿ˜

You are a Linux gamer with a love for GOG. May I ask how are you accessing GOG games on Linux/Steam Deck: Lutris? Heroic?

One beast overrun.

Haste in green is wild though.

The senator is president of the party he is part of : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Independents_%E2%80%93_Republic_and_Territories_group

EDIT: Ah yes I get it. His party is affiliated with Horizons from Edouard Philippe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizons_(political_party)

Nevertheless, all the other comments have a point: Edouard Philippe is conservative, not extreme right.

The consulat in Strasbourg has been opened since 1866...

This is so hard to build something but so easy to destroy it.

I read somewhere that Librewolf is not recommended because they are a small team and slow to patch vulnerabilities / integrate security fixes from Firefox.

Is it true? (Sincere question)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Mmm they don't mention achievement support...

Heroic has some basic support with Comet, but I haven't tried it yet.
