Hi! Do you remember blogs? Well, this used to be one. Now it just serves as an archive for my many Twitter accounts.

His Dark Materials 1x05 — 6/10

Does their choice to introduce our world so soon work for anyone? I really don’t feel like it works.

La guillotine n’avait pas que des mauvais côtés.

Surtout le tranchant. [twitter.com]

This person is making atmospheric videos of the train stations in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and I am extremely into it. This is the kind of niche videogame content I live for. [youtube.com]

C’est à la fois magnifique et inécoutable

There has never been and never will be a more apt use for “Weird flex but ok.”

Men. If women wrote such abbreviated emails, they’d be considered terribly rude. [twitter.com]

This is gorgeous, but not for a music award

I randomly reinstalled Word with Friends and oh my god that UX is so fucking obnoxious — even without considering the ads. How do they derive profit from making me tap through two dozen reward screens before letting me get back to my games?

Les gens qui s’abonnent aux notifications de promos sur un article dont tu évites la page pour ne pas être tenté et qui t’envoient un message pour dire “oh elle est en réduction ! mais je vais être raisonnable et attendre la prochaine fois” 😡

La tentation est grande en voyant les cadavres de sapins devant les fleuristes, pour une fois que j’aurais la place d’en mettre un grand dans mon salon.

@OptimistPanda:

A worker at the Genius Bar spotted Xcode in my dock and said “ah, ok, I assume you already did the basic troubleshooting then. Let’s skip to the higher level stuff.”

A) I wanted to share this possible cheat code

B) I want to figure out the equivalent to this for everything ever

Oh and I don’t think I’ve recommended Bardo yet

The bow is good enough — although I don’t enjoy wave-based combat — but it’s worth the $5-on-sale just for the visuals.

Not sure if I’m getting more tracking errors in Beat Saber since I’ve soldered the batteries to the controllers (?) or I’m just trying harder and beyond the cameras’ limits, but either way I can’t wait to get an Index. I want to receive the scores that I deserve!

It says a lot about the game’s quality though (and also the cleverly sneaky way they introduce new elements of difficulty as you progress) that I played it for five hours before reaching the “oh hell no!” point.

I was holding my own against In Death but I think I’m done after this second attempt at the Pit of Reformation. I screamed when the skeleton guards teleported on top of me, and soon after logged off before giving the whole crowd a chance to gang up on me.

@hyperjeff:

apple should kill off the idea that they need to upgrade ios every year. no customers want a relentless set of breaking changes in their lives.

Elle est superbe mais ne me semble pas très résistante et l’assemblage était principalement très chiant

I’m 3D-printing three identical lampshades and I forgot to make sure I had enough filament left of the same brand to print all of them, so the last one is gonna look slightly clearer 😫🤦🏻‍♂️

“Food Gore”: a genre of video, that is ostensibly Clever Food Hacks but is actually just over styled mix-and-match nonsense made purely for online video. [twitter.com]

This is the weirdest American meme
