  • Today, as we navigate through the challenges faced by Ubisoft, particularly at their Red Storm studio, it's essential to remember that every setback is just a setup for a comeback! While the news of layoffs is tough, this moment can spark new opportunities and creativity in the gaming world.

  • Test Spirit of the North 2 – La promesse d’une liberté qui a un prix.

    So, there’s this game that came out called Spirit of the North 2. I guess it’s a sequel or something. The first one was released in 2019, and people seemed to like it. Now, they’re hyping up this new one with promises of freedom and all that jazz, but honestly, who knows if it’s even worth the bother? I mean, freedom in a game usually comes with a catch, right?

    The whole thing feels a bit dragged out. It’s like they took their time to make it, and now we’re all just sitting here, wondering if it’s really going to be something special or if it’s just more of the same. The original had its moments, sure, but it also had its dull parts. I can’t help but wonder if this one will follow suit.

    The storyline or whatever they’ve got going on seems to revolve around some themes of nature and exploration. Sounds nice, I guess, but in the end, it’s still a game. Will it keep my attention, or will I just end up staring at the screen, waiting for something interesting to happen? I guess we’ll find out.

    Gameplay-wise, they’re saying there’s a lot to explore and some mechanics that might make it feel fresh. But are we really excited about that? I mean, it all sounds pretty standard. There’s a promise of beautiful visuals, which is cool, but I’ve seen beautiful visuals before. It needs more than just that to keep me engaged.

    Overall, ‘la promesse d’une liberté qui a un prix’ feels like a fancy way of saying, “You might have to deal with some annoying stuff to enjoy the good bits.” It’s kind of a mixed bag, and I’m not sure if I want to open it or leave it sitting on the shelf for a while.

    Maybe I’ll check it out later, or maybe I’ll just go back to doing nothing in particular. Who knows?

  • Ah, the AirPods Max – those luxurious little orbs of sound that promise to elevate your auditory experience to heavenly heights. But wait, let’s pause for a moment before we dive headfirst into that Labor Day deal that boasts the lowest price ever – because we all know that’s just a fancy way of saying, "Hey, here’s your chance to pay a premium for something that’ll make you look particularly stylish while ignoring the world around you!"

    First, let’s talk about the design. Oh, the design! They’re like the love child of a spaceship and a pair of earmuffs you’d find at your grandma’s house. Who wouldn’t want to sport that look while strolling down the street, desperately trying to convince everyone that you’re both hip and excessively wealthy? But really, when you put them on, it's not just about sound quality; it’s about transforming into an audio-engineering superhero, ready to save the world from mediocre bass and treble.

    Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the price. Yes, they’re on sale for the lowest price ever. It’s almost like saying, “Look, we’ve slashed the price of your next existential crisis!” Because let’s be honest, do you really need headphones that are priced higher than your monthly grocery budget? Sure, you’ll be able to hear every single whisper of the universe, but will you also be able to afford rent? It’s a fine balance between living your best life and living in your parents’ basement.

    And how about that "noise cancellation"? It’s almost magical! You’ll be so immersed in your own world that you won’t hear your friends trying to communicate with you. Remember socializing? That’s out the window. You’ll be too busy basking in the glory of your overpriced headphones to notice that your social life is slowly fading away. But hey, at least you’ll have great sound quality while binge-watching that show you promised you’d watch with your friends three months ago!

    Let’s not forget about the battery life. They say it lasts long enough to get you through a full workday. But let’s be real: if you’re using them all day, are you even working? Or are you just pretending to be busy while actually listening to your secret playlist of 90s boy bands? Either way, you’ll be the picture of productivity, even if your productivity is strictly limited to singing along to “I Want It That Way.”

    In conclusion, while the AirPods Max may be your favorite headphones, maybe just maybe, you should save your hard-earned cash for something a little less extravagant. After all, there’s a fine line between enjoying life’s luxuries and being the punchline in a “what was I thinking?” story. So go ahead, indulge in that Labor Day deal, but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you find yourself hiding from your friends in the corner of your apartment, cranking up the volume on your guilt over your questionable financial decisions.

  • The Video Game History Foundation has decided to keep the legacy of the game Myst alive, which sounds like a big deal for some people. They’ve managed to put together this archive that has over a hundred hours of footage about the game. I guess that’s interesting if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s all about the development of video games in the ’90s, a time when things were… well, different.

    So, yeah, the Myst archive is supposed to be this treasure trove of historical content. It contains all sorts of videos and information that might appeal to game developers or fans from back in the day. But honestly, do you really want to dive deep into a hundred hours of footage? Seems like a lot of time to just watch people talk about games that most of us played ages ago.

    I mean, Myst was a classic, no doubt. It had those puzzles that made you think, or maybe just made you frustrated. But now, with all these new games out, who has the energy to go back and relive those moments? I suppose some people find nostalgia in it. Maybe it’s a chill way to spend a weekend, but it also seems like a lot of effort to get through all that archival stuff.

    The foundation’s effort to preserve this part of gaming history is commendable, I guess. They’re trying to keep the memory of how games were developed alive. But, really, how many of us are going to sit through hours of archival footage? It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, look at all this old stuff!” and I’m just sitting here thinking, “Okay, cool. But… I could also just take a nap.”

    Anyway, if you’re into video game history or Myst in particular, this archive could be worth checking out. Just don’t expect it to be super exciting. It’s more of a slow-paced journey into the past rather than an adrenaline rush of new content. But hey, if that’s your thing, go for it. I’ll just be here, doing… well, not much.

  • So, let’s all take a moment to collectively swoon over the latest masterpiece from the animation wizards at Fortiche, shall we? I mean, who doesn't dream of seeing Ekko and Jinx, two characters from "Arcane," perfectly encapsulated in a music video called "Ma Meilleure Ennemie"? Because nothing says "best enemies" like a catchy tune and a sprinkle of dramatic flair, right?

    I can just imagine the brainstorming session: “What’s more engaging than a deep dive into the emotional turmoil of our beloved characters? Oh, I know! Let’s throw in some upbeat music and let Stromae and Pomme serenade us while we watch our favorite chaos agents battle it out!” Because nothing spells emotional depth quite like a dance-off, am I right?

    And let’s not forget the rich tapestry of character development we’ve all come to know and love. You know, the kind that leaves you with existential questions about life, love, and, well, the very nature of friendship—perfectly overshadowed by some catchy beats. Who needs character arcs when you can just have a colorfully animated clip of Jinx throwing bombs and Ekko winking at the camera?

    By the way, I can’t help but wonder, how many times can we repackage a song before it becomes *the* soundtrack of our lives? “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” is apparently the anthem for those tumultuous relationships we all have but don’t really want to talk about. I mean, let’s face it—nothing says “I value our friendship” quite like a little friendly rivalry dressed up in a flashy music video.

    And sure, the clip was 'teased' during a particularly memorable sequence of Season 2, but who needs context when you have visuals that are as dazzling as a glitter bomb? It’s almost as if the creators said, “Let’s take everything we love about these characters and throw it into a blender, hit ‘puree’, and see what comes out!” Spoiler alert: it’s a visually striking yet emotionally confusing smoothie.

    But hey, kudos to Fortiche for giving us this delightful distraction. With Ekko and Jinx at the helm, we’re in for a ride that promises to be as wild as the characters themselves—with a side of existential dread wrapped in a catchy melody. So, grab your popcorn, sit back, and prepare to enjoy the latest spectacle that’s sure to leave you questioning your life choices while humming along.

  • Why does the world of animation, particularly at events like the SIGGRAPH Electronic Theater, continue to suffer from mediocrity? I can't help but feel enraged by the sheer lack of innovation and the repetitive nature of the projects being showcased. On April 17th, we’re promised a “free screening” of selected projects that are supposedly representing the pinnacle of creativity and diversity in animation. But let’s get real — what does “selection” even mean in a world where creativity is stifled by conformity?

    Look, I understand that this is a global showcase, but when you sift through the projects that make it through the cracks, what do we find? Overly polished but uninspired animations that follow the same tired formulas. The “Electronic Theater” is supposed to be a beacon of innovation, yet here we are again, being fed a bland compilation that does little to challenge or excite. It’s like being served a fast-food version of art: quick, easy, and utterly forgettable.

    The call for diversity is also a double-edged sword. Sure, we need to see work from all corners of the globe, but diversity in animation is meaningless if the underlying concepts are stale. It’s not enough to tick boxes and say, “Look how diverse we are!” when the actual content fails to push boundaries. Instead of celebrating real creativity, we end up with a homogenized collection of animations that are, at best, mediocre.

    And let’s talk about the timing of this event. April 17th? Are we really thinking this through? This date seems to be plucked out of thin air without consideration for the audience’s engagement. Just another poorly planned initiative that assumes people will flock to see what is essentially a second-rate collection of animations. Is this really the best you can do, Montpellier ACM SIGGRAPH? Where is the excitement? Where is the passion?

    What’s even more frustrating is that this could have been an opportunity to truly showcase groundbreaking work that challenges the status quo. Instead, it feels like a desperate attempt to fill seats and pat ourselves on the back for hosting an event. Real creators are out there, creating phenomenal work that could change the landscape of animation, yet we choose to showcase the safe and the bland.

    It’s time to demand more from events like SIGGRAPH. It’s time to stop settling for mediocrity and start championing real innovation in animation. If the Electronic Theater is going to stand for anything, it should stand for pushing boundaries, not simply checking boxes.

    Let’s not allow ourselves to be content with what we’re served. It’s time for a revolution in animation that doesn’t just showcase the same old, same old. We deserve better, and the art community deserves better.

  • Ah, the charming saga of the Ꝃ barré, the forbidden letter of Brittany, which, if we're being honest, sounds more like a character from a fantasy novel than a linguistic relic. Imagine a letter so exclusive that it vanished over a century ago, yet here we are, still talking about it as if it were the last slice of a particularly scrumptious cake at a party where everyone else is on a diet.

    This letter, pronounced "ker," must be the rebellious teenager of the alphabet, refusing to adhere to the mundane rules of the linguistic world. Apparently, it’s been fighting valiantly for its right to exist, even outside its beloved Brittany. Talk about dedication! I mean, who wouldn’t want to be the one letter that’s still clutching to its glory days while the others have either retired or embraced digitalization?

    Can you imagine the Ꝃ barré showing up to a modern linguistic convention? It would be like the hipster of the alphabet, sipping on artisanal coffee while lamenting about “the good old days” when letters had real character and weren’t just a boring assortment of vowels and consonants. "Remember when I was the life of the party?" it would say, gesturing dramatically as if it were the protagonist in a tragic play.

    But let’s not forget the irony here. As we raise our eyebrows at this letter’s audacity to exist, it serves as a reminder of how we often romanticize the past. The Ꝃ barré is like that old song you used to love but can’t quite remember the lyrics to. You know it was great, but is it really worth reviving? Is it really that essential to our current linguistic landscape, or just a quirky footnote in the history of communication?

    And then there’s the whole notion of "interdiction." It’s almost as if this letter is a linguistic outlaw, strutting around the shadows of history, daring anyone to challenge its existence. What’s next? A “Free the Ꝃ barré” campaign? T-shirts, bumper stickers, maybe even a social media movement? Because nothing screams “important cultural heritage” like a letter that’s been in hiding for over a hundred years.

    So, let’s raise a toast to the Ꝃ barré! May it continue to stir fascination among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs of letters, even as the rest of the world sticks to the tried and true. For in a world full of ordinary letters, we need a little rebellion now and then.

    Ah, the charming saga of the Ꝃ barré, the forbidden letter of Brittany, which, if we're being honest, sounds more like a character from a fantasy novel than a linguistic relic. Imagine a letter so exclusive that it vanished over a century ago, yet here we are, still talking about it as if it were the last slice of a particularly scrumptious cake at a party where everyone else is on a diet.
