  1. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    I really like Splatoon 3, it is a fun game, I especially like Salmon Run a pve chaotic mode but I heard it is a harder one to enter to because the matchmaking for the main mode is bad. And there are also connection problems, that may be dependent on your internet connection. Don't take in...
  2. Books Fantasy Reads

    I finally finished the Fitz and the Fool Series by Robin Hobb, so I finished the The Realm of the Elderlings Series, at least the 16 main books and The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince. I still like better The Liveship Traders series. Though Robin Hobb may write about other characters. I...
  3. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    It isn't a general price increase, just the new Zelda... so far. The GB and GBA additions are nice and are probably easier to play than N64 games. I wanted to try Ocarina of Time on Switch but some people say it is unplayable. No real pokémon games announced, only the DLC of Scarlet/Violet and...
  4. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    There is a DLC "big bloc dlc" that has some offline modes (so you don't need NSO) but maybe you will like better the Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 or 2 game (and it seems it is better for single player) or Tetris Effect
  5. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    I would still recommend Pokémon Scarlet or Violet, especially if he discusses about it with friends. But since there is a lot reading, someone would have to guide him and read (same for most of the games). Then all the other Pokémon games are good for kids (but legends probably require someone...
  6. Elon Musk | Owner of X

    I am actually relatively calm because compared to the previous train wreck, the global risks are lower; Train wrecks are pretty entertaining but also worrisome if they can have many serious consequences. There were really people having a positive opinion of Musk?! I mostly didn't care at all...
  7. Elon Musk | Owner of X

    I don't hate Twitter, it is the most convenient social network for me. It is/was nice to follow some authors, and read the thoughts of people sharing the same hobbies while not really having anything to tell. I feel most of the other social networks are more focused on ourselves (like sharing...
  8. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    Compared tp the original, it is better to go Oled. If you only want to play it alone the handheld way, the Lite. The Lite is way more comfortable/lighter when playing a game demanding lot of moving like Splatoon (though Splatoon is the only game that gives me wrist pain). But the Oled/OG are...

    City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett even if the setting isn't that modern (there are trains and cars though)
  10. Seoul crowd crush - 146 dead

    Precovid there were more people in Itaewon during Halloween AND some crowd controls measures were taken even if there was no one organizing it. It isn't a new spontaneous thing, people were aware of past Halloweens at Itaewon and assumed the 2022 one would have the same level of security. But...
  11. Seoul crowd crush - 146 dead

    It has not been confirmed. so please consider it more like a rumor (like the one telling there were some drugs) to blame the victims. So far, it seems 100k people were expected and no measure were taken. During some previous Halloween events with more people (200k). some crowd controls measures...
  12. Books Fantasy Reads

    You can try The Liveship Traders the second trilogy, there is a lot more happening and we follow several characters. The story happens in a different place though I think there are few minor spoilers relative to the first trilogy. I really enjoyed more the second one (great series), I remember...
  13. Books Fantasy Reads

    I read it, it is more a popcorn reading and more for female NA (new adult) readers. It is a comparison to Games of Thrones?! I didn't like much the first, the 2nd was ok, the 3rd was so bloated, it is a ok series for someone used to YA books, I am not convinced it would be enticing to most...
  14. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3 and Pokémon Scarlet/Violet are the ones I want to play. I really like a lot Pokémon Legends and may try later Fire Emblem Warriors : Three Hopes (a musou) if the story is as engaging than Three Houses.
  15. Gaming Nintendo Switch

    I was under the impression the developers of the Lego games never try hard to make/port the games for Switch because in their mind the Switch is for kids and kids don't care about graphics. They may be right about kids not caring about graphics but most of them also hate more loading times and...
