Le réveil sonna comme une dague entre les omoplates. Un son perçant qui vous sort de la torpeur de la nuit. Un son sec, brutal, programmé pour arracher les vivants au sommeil plutôt que les en tirer doucement.

Scott écrasa le bouton d’un geste lourd, la tête encore engluée dans un brouillard épais. Quatre heures du matin. Une heure indécente, même pour lui.

Chat mit der Besten zum Thema frühe Sci-Fi-Literatur.

Es hat uns interessiert, was so die ältesten Werke sind, die sich mit Reisen ins All befassen.

Die älteste Erzählung von Reisen ins All, Darstellung Außerirdischer Lebensformen, etc. stammt von Lukian und ist ca. 1900 Jahre alt.

Er muss ein cooler Typ gewesen sein:

"Sie sehen dort auch, wie Herodot mit ewiger Pein bestraft wird, weil er in seinen Historien Lügen verbreitet hat."

Ich habe Herodots Historien gelesen und bin ganz enttäuscht, dass es keine hundsgroßen Ameisen in Indien gibt, die Gold schürfen 😅

"I was chomping at the bit to crack the code": How procedural maps became XCOM 2's biggest ambition, after Firaxis couldn't manage it in Enemy Unknown

The developers of XCOM 2 reveal the challenge of making procedural maps for their turn-based tactical game, including why they had to ditch them in XCOM.

And I don't often do a piece with the same character more than once unless its for the comic, but I decided to do another piece with Prima.

This week's random #fantasy thing: Reading some #TerryPratchett again! (continued rereading The Wee Free Men, and just finished reading the new Finnish translation of Good Omens which was better in some respects but not in the others) Also, started playing #GreedFall on PC.

This week's random #scifi thing: Uh... started Assault Android Cactus on PC, too?

Chapter 5 - "Fleet Manoeuvres In The Dark"

The chase is on. The Republic fleet hunt the Cadir incursion fleet, but tracking hostile ships in the void is not as easy as one might hope. Jumpgates offer a few clues, but it is usually destruction that offers the best indications. And if the Cadir are sparring with a third fleet, then that might provide Schafer enough evidence to hunt down the invaders.
