    The trick is to wear one layer that’s gonna absorb the sweat and another layer for looking good. Bamboo fibre wifebeater with colourful short sleeve shirts got me through 45+ °C 90% h. no bother.

    I’m writing this because I started with just the shirt, and two layers seems counter intuitive, but it’s actually a lot more comfortable and better looking (fewer sweat stains)





  • Funniest to me in this kind of debate is having my N+1 manage us from across the country, having two team members in another town, and somehow, my ass being at home 15km from the office makes any difference at all to the daily life of the team? It doesn’t. My actual manager, the dude giving us our marching orders, doesn’t care. Shit, our N+1 doesn’t care either, since he’s almost always remote himself!

    Only people I’ve seen actually care seem to be HR, for whatever reason.

    I don’t even get how any company with several sites has anything to stand on. Makes no fucking sense.








  • Funniest thing for me as a bilingual French is people butcheringpronouncing French words like hors d’oeuvre or whatever. I mean it’s funny but okay, that’s both no big deal and you can always educate someone and give them the real French pronunciation if they absolutely wanna sound posh.

    But then I’m always so torn when somebody has a clearly French name but again, their pronunciation is atrocious. Like, I try to just ignore it, but sometimes I can just imagine myself jumping at them and screaming how they are pronouncing it wrooooooong, hahaha!


  • I still have the irrepressible urge to pronounce the s at the end of “chaos” because I more or less learnt the word through warhammer 40k. Except in French the s is silent. But now I’ve moved to the south where the locals have a habit of pronouncing many silent s !
    My poor brain is so confused…


  • Avatar : Frontiers of Pandora has had me going like Rowan when played in explorer mode. It gives you hints like in other recent Ubisoft games but holy shit some of those were near useless… I wasted entirely too many hours just exploring and circling around the correct answer. I recently switched to the more friendly Guided mode and it has the waypoint only appear in Hunter mode, so that was kinda nice. Hasn’t completely spoiled the experience although I still wish it would only activate once you were in the vicinity indicated by the clue (ie, if the clue gives you some corner of the map to explore, then the guided mode would only start helping once you’ve reached that general area).

    But yeah, overall, I disagree with OP. Make it optional, make it diegetic, make it subtle, but the option is a wonderful game design element, in my book.

    One thing I think is that the longer time you need to use it, the harder you’ve failed in you basic design, because I shouldn’t have to press the damn button 90% of the time like I used to in Far Cry Primal. That game is still my favourite as a precursor, but I was using the hunter vision way way way too much.




  • I certainly appreciate where you’re coming from. But whereas I’ve no idea exactly what Biden did during his tenure, Trump’s mandate was a nearing constant barrage of WTF proclamations and online logorrhea, with some of his delirium actually affecting me personally and I for one, as a foreigner, like to have quiet, well-behaved neighbours. So if we could have another four years of peace and quiet, that would be nice.
