C'est la première et la dernière fois que j'offre un câble USB sur mesure a quelqu'un qui me demande de lui réparer sa console portable de capture. Surtout quand le câble était aux couleurs de sa console ! Le fait aussi de ne pas m'avoir au moins dit merci me frustre plus que tout, mais bon...TBTC.

30€ SiN, aucune ristourne pour les possesseurs du jeu original, 3 WALLPAPER POUR 3€ ???? Pardon ? Mais Nightdive a fumé la moquette ou c'est Atari qui commence à faire des taxes à la con ?

Alright so I've finished Quake's Dawn of the Machine, and I'll sum it up with the following : "OK to Great architectures, but boring to mid gameplay." I had fun overall but you definitely feel they failed the gameplay loop, betrayed by how they designed the levels themselves. #Quake

Words cannot fully express how delighted I am that my work and Eric’s officially joins the #NintendoMusic catalog alongside the classic F-ZERO BGM and many more 🎶 I am so grateful for NST, NCL, and the #FZERO99 community! Couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support 🥹💙

An F-ZERO race isn't complete without some lightning-fast tunes! 🎶 Listen to songs from F-ZERO 99 now on #NintendoMusic: ninten.do/6016vI5Yp

As much as I love SiN, considering what controversial changes they did with Quake, Quake II, Heretic+Hexen or even Blood, it's always hard to trust NDS with their ports if you want a modern, faithful, fully original experience. Let's see if they at least make the update "free" for SiN Gold owners.

Can't believe the news today, the demo is out and you've gotta play 👀 Get ready for SiN-day, bloody SiN-day with a brand new gameplay trailer for SiN: Reloaded! Check out the playable demo on Steam, available now! ☣️ youtu.be/TDQOhOzgYj0?...

Ca va le gros "FUCK YOU" du Summer Games Fest vu la quantité ASTRONOMIQUE de problèmes sur les 2 plateformes majeures ? :D

Gros GG @mr-xeo.bsky.social pour ton run de Quake :D ! La map de l'amphi était top et assez inattendue, ce qui m'a bien fait rire ! (et tu étais justement en dessous de l'estimate, le timer s'est juste arrêté un chouia trop tard :( )

I'm so happy right now, I finally found XIII in Japanese ! :D It's been more than 10 years I was desperately trying to find it without any luck. Well, not anymore :D And there have been welcomed changes too inside the game too! And... One unwelcomed one, but shhh.

But in terms of negative changes, the intro logic has been remade, with "unskippable" images of Ubisoft and Nvidia that are badly made too. But nothing a quick binary patching can't do to "skip" these.

I might stream it tonight or tomorrow to see how viable dialogs might be for speedrunning, but... I'm not so confident at all.

For instance, protected UnrealScript classes (for the GS or the Ubi Matchmaking class) are not anymore here. So I might actually update the whole uscript sourcecode, maybe. Also, More UCC stuff (ucc masterserver, yoohoo!) even if practically useless for the most case.

J'ai fini Splinter Cell 1, et bon sang, quel plaisir ! C'était assez difficile (surtout pour essayer d'être le plus discret possible, hein c'est un jeu d'infiltration!), mais j'ai trop apprécié le gameplay loop. Par contre j'irai faire les 2 autres de la trilogie originale en stream. 👀

So yesterday, after streaming some attempts in Ion Fury's 100% Secrets run on Aftershock, I've heard from a developer something completely unexpected. Pressing a looooot of times that left candle in Z3A3 leads to an explosion. Fun fun fun easter-egg !

J'avoue ne pas en parler tant que ca (je discute peu sur les SNS), mais j'ai récupéré un @frame.work 13 (de 2022!!) d'occasion avec un i7 de 11ème generation et 16GB de RAM ! Le prix était honnête mais j'en voulais un depuis tellement longtemps. Depuis il est sur CachyOS 🧡

Juste comme ca, il a eu le traitement d'une nouvelle batterie (elle était morte avec seulement 37 (!!!) cycles), une extension de 250Gb de stockage, et c'est déja pas mal comme ca. Plus qu'à changer la carte mère après l'annonce du 21 Avril 🧡🧡

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Finally, the superior version of Mario vs Donkey Kong 1 on Switch!

To whoever asking me to help them solving game server/setup issues on anything that's NOT related to my own stuff : Fuck you, pay me. I've enough helping people here and there on stuff who suddenly disappear unless they need my help again. STOP. You have an issue? Pay me to help you. Period.

Petite information absolument inutile mais indispensable : si jamais vous avez 2 WiiU l'une sur l'autre... Déja, pourquoi avoir 2 WiiU...? Mais surtout, vous allez avoir des soucis de connexion WiFi, même si l'autre WiiU est éteinte ou si votre box est à côté. Ca m'est arrivé, alors gaffe 😓

Since Pariah and Warpath, two exactly similar games have their master server down for decades... I attempted to reverse-engineer it for preservation, similarly to what I did with Prey 2006. Well, I finally managed to find that last step (which was to see 2+ servers)! It was a pain. :D

Entre des chaines que je n'ai jamais regardé, un top5 de jeux factuellement faux, et surtout un "cadrage" de ce que je suis qui n'est factuellement pas le cas, voici la seule chose que j'ai retenu de mon récap 2025 selon YouTube. Aucune surprise que Gemini soit la pire IA existante actuelle...

In SMAS, getting a Game Over in 9-3 (SMB:LL) and continuing corrupts the castle tiles for the level only. Oh, and in SMB1/LL, the infamous momentum reset change does not happen when you're breaking bricks while crouched.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?
