Why emulate ? The Master Chief Collection is available on PC. It's missing Halo 5 though. And then Infinite went ahead and cancelled this whole storyline.

Unfortunately, the company is now empty of employees, so the road ahead will be entirely different.

Not much of a studio the guy bought back. Just a name and some IP rights maybe.

The Sniper Elite series is basically nazi-killing porn. Those won't let you down, especially if you enjoy unplanned testicular detonations happening to nazis of any kind.

The people laid off in 2023 (no less than 16% of the company's headcount) might have opinions upon hearing that.

Most GitS installments are unconnected. The only actuel sequel to the original movie is the followup movie "Innocence" which is a very different beast. You can find a complete relation graph on AniDB.

My recommendation would be to watch the "Standalone Complex" series (2 seasons + 1 special) from the early 2000's. It's top tier even though the CG does show its age. Then if you want more you could go ahead and watch the "Arise" tv show from 2015, not bad but not as good as SAC.

I would strongly advise against watching the recent Netflix-produced SAC_2045 : it's painfully bad and ugly-looking.

Epic actually financed Remedy's development of the game, as opposed to swooping in at the last minute to offer a timed-exclusivity deal. In that case I was fine buying the game on their platform if it meant the game got to exist at all. After all I do not expect Valve to sell their games on another platform than their own.

Don't get me wrong: I'd rather the game was sold on Steam, or even better, DRM-less on GOG. I did wait for a number of those timed exclusives to find their way on Steam or other stores (Borderlands 3, Kena, Journey, Control, Hades, etc). It's a shame that so many people will not get to experience AW2 because of its delivery platform, because it's a damn unique game.

Il faut du matériel spécialisé pour tailler les verres (ce que vendent des fabricants comme Essilor Instruments, Nidek, Briot).

Tu peux aller chez un opticien équipé (s'il propose des "lunettes en 1h" par exemple) et lui donner ta monture. Tant que ta monture tient dans un gabarit pas trop exotique, il pourra la faire lire à un "lecteur de monture" (ce genre de machine: https://www.essilor-instruments.com/e-tess/).

Circuit Superstars runs beautifully on the deck. Do not be fooled by its top down point of view, it actually leans towards simulation rather than arcade (aka "simcade").

On the other side of that coin, BlazeRush is full on arcade mayhem. It is also top down PoV, which I find lends itself very well to portable gaming.

Looking good ! This show looks like it will be crunchy if nothing else.

It's been 20ish years but the name that sprang up to mind was Now and Then, Here and There. I don't remember much except it was pretty bleak and sad.

Not Steam emoticons though, unfortunately.

Welp, it makes sense to drop it when there is this big influx of players... But yeah, as always more paid stuff brings out a lot of "discourse".

Hard pass for me due to high price and low interest this time around. I don't like weapons or stratagems being exclusive to the super store, but that will not prevent me from restoring freedom to many Voteless tonight.

 

Nothing particularly original, but it's mine, so here goes.

  • Earfun Free 2: good for listening to podcasts on the go.
  • House keys: well, duh.
  • Olight imini: handy and really tiny flashlight.
  • Mini push dagger: oldest thing in there, got it more than 20 years ago. Says "United" & "Taiwan" on the sheath, so it likely is from United Cutlery.
  • Kershaw Launch 11: my current all-time favorite pocket knife. Small enough to fit in a 5th pocket (but not "deep-carry"), yet handles really well with my not-too-meaty hands.
  • Bellroy Card Sleeve Black: small enough to keep credit cards and such in regular pants' front pockets.
  • Zippo Lighter Spectrum: really a fidget toy for me since I do not smoke, so pretty though !
  • Kleenex mini pocket tissues: the runny nose unwavering companion.

Not on picture: Samsung Galaxy S20 with a Spigen Tough Armor case.
