Un homme qui veut savoir à quel moment on pourra lui reprocher d'avoir jinx 2026, hahahahaha. (Note : Je ne crois pas à ces choses.)

Ikoku Nikki, en français Entre les lignes, en manga, avec une adaptation en cours, c'est vraiment excellent, touchant, et délicieusement écrit.

Restons honnêtes, les stratégies façon député•e•s qui parlent des antifascistes : "Ielles étaient trente, armé•e•s jusqu'aux dents !", c'est jamais très sain.

Je me suis amusé à relire le thread. 12 personnes ont participé, et en omettant le fait que les "Jean-Mi" étaient souvent partiellement d'accord avec les critiques, 4 défendaient le jeu, 4 critiquaient ces aspects, 4 parlaient surtout de gameplay. Révisionnisme historique, quand tu nous tiens...

Le jeu donne vraiment l'impression d'avoir été relu par "Monsieur Pas de Vagues, référent apolitique", qui a systématiquement aseptisé tout concept un poil intéressant.
Et je pense que c'est pas loin de la vérité, hahahaha.

Avoir un vrai propos sociopolitique? Ah bah non, faudrait pas faire de vagues. Avoir un gameplay qui se démarque vraiment de la formule Persona 3-5? Ah bah non, faudrait pas dépayser les joueur·euse·s. De la fantasy riche? Ah bah non, un seul peuple non-humanoïde, ce serait trop de taf sinon.

J'admets un peu espérer que tu arrives à finir le jeu, parce que vraiment, y'a des perles niveau écriture. Au mauvais sens du terme. Le jeu saborde ses (déjà pauvres) tentatives de propos constamment, c'est incroyable. Les quelques bonnes idées de ce projet sont gâchées par... sa fadeur.

La blague est terrible, mais :

Ça commence bien...

Oui, c'est bien dommage, quand le jeu entame le traitement du personnage avec un "Peu importe - Faris, c'est Faris !", ça donnerait presque espoir, oh, un propos en avance sur son temps, une personne qu'on laisse vivre le genre qu'elle veut vivre ? Eeeeet non y'a les scènes lourdes quand même.

Faites marcher les librairies indépendantes !

Jamais facile de se sortir de ce genre de perception interiorisée, mais je lis que tu as une psychologue compétente et une namoureuse qui aide, deux excellents atouts. Y'a pas d'âge pour ré-apprendre à s'aimer, je ne peux que te souhaiter un voyage doux et plein d'allié·e·s.

Clairement, il est au même niveau que Manuel Valls sur l'échelle du mépris général.

It is, as long as you're not a hype-addicted bozo looking for a fix because the very concept of patience has left your mortal shell.

A single-digit team should be allowed to just go "Hey we're okay we're working on it" once a year. Anything more you're simply not entitled to.

So, so tired of this narrative. Onwards once again to show that "Hey, we're okay, we're working on it" was a YEARLY deal :

Boring or forgettable are among the last words I'd use for you, and I'm not aware of any ill reputation, so yeah, I think it all has to be on expectations, communication and... luck of the draw, I guess. Meeting the right peeps who are looking for a similar amount of interaction. Stuff CAN change. ❤️

So I'd say it's about finding the right folks with matching expectations, and also maybe putting a little effort into setting stuff up, potentially being the one saying "Hey let's find some weekly time to get in voice and do X" and all that jazz. Specific interests can be a big help for that, too.

But other friend groups are more of a monthly basis. Others are on a weekly basis, like tabletop and TTRPG friend groups. And then there are some folks I can chat with and/or hang out with almost daily. And then workplace friends are another deal entirely.

I don't think it's any of that and rather a more practical problem, if the loneliness is more of a daily thing. About specifically finding people who are down to hang out on a more regular basis. I think friend groups differ a lot on that front. I have some good friends I interact with twice a year.

Only real way to prevent that is clear communication, so expectations are set and not betrayed, I guess. But also, some people will think that kind of communication is a hassle for "just" friendship, so... Yeah, it's a bit awkward. But relationships and emotions are always a mess, so, nothing odd.

It overall very much is a "to each their own". And sometimes that means the expectations are mismatched. If someone thinks "friendship" means helping each other through tough times unconditionally, my more laid-back approach to friendship will probably disappoint them. Such is life, alas.

I don't think there really is a universal definition. People look for and expect different things from friendship. I personally would go with something like "people I enjoy hanging out with", because I'm not looking for more than that. Friends are people I game with, play tabletop with, etc.

Clairement un de mes gros coups de coeur de l'an dernier, l'atmosphère est vraiment réussie et les puzzles sont cools, belle recommendation.

Massive potential for monotype runs too. Wonder trading makes sure you can get an acceptable lineup early for anything.

Le terme de "money laundering" étant à la fois imagé, clair et ayant ce potentiel double sens, c'est un choix logique, et donc peu surprenant. Les laveries comme "origine" du terme, c'est donc incertain, mais elles ont très probablement aidé à la "sélection" du terme.
