[SPOILERS] Just finished The Last Of Us Part I, what an amazing game - sh.itjust.works
I played it on my Steam Deck, 30 FPS average with lots of audio crackling,
apparently because of the CPU load. I played the game in hard mode because I was
afraid survivor and grounded would break the balance. The gameplay is great: it
was insanely fun outsmarting the infected, circling around the clickers, burning
the bloaters. Against those enemies, stealth really was a challenge and I had to
manage my stress levels (stalkers and runners were especially hard to deal with
in the sewer); I’m convinced I would not be able to finish this game in
permanent death as certain sequences took me 5-7 tries to do correctly
(optimizing to use the least amount of gear or straight up surviving). It was
really hard to aim well enough on a controller to be able to do headshot with
consistency (this game with a controller and a mouse must feel like heaven to
master). Stealth against humans is way too easy though: you can easily never use
your weapons and just throw a glass bottle against the wall, cleanup with a bomb
or a Molotov, and you will never be punished when doing a stealthy kill if you
take too long which basically means that shiv are useless for anything other
than doors (I did not buy the ability to get off the grasp of clickers with
shivs). The hostage mechanic felt so cool, but I rarely used it because I felt
like I couldn’t afford to waste bullets because of the resource scarcity. I
would have loved the game to be more punishing and to force me to spend my gear;
I was never spotted and I am horrible at stealth (hello Cyberpunk 2077). On the
writing side, the game shines even more. I was so heartbroken when Sarah was
murdered, when Tess sacrificed herself, when Sam turned and Henry killed
himself, when Joel said horrible things to Ellie, when he murdered all the
fireflies, the surgeon, Marlene in cold blood. And that’s where the game shines!
It shows you this great dynamics between Joel and Ellie, this growing bond that
is so precious. You despise and love Joel: you despise his lack of moral, his
emotional immaturity (not wanting to talk about the hard stuff and lying to
Ellie) but you understand where it comes from, you understand why the violence
happened. This constant tension, this gray area makes the game so real and
gripping; you can only look with a mix of disgust and support as you’re ripping
your way through the enemies in the hospital with savagery. What Joel did is
unequivocally wrong and selfish but I cannot judge because I know full well I’d
probably have done the same thing in this situation. Well, I’m not sure but I
can see it. This game really made me understand the complexity of moral and
decision, the conflicting goals and the harshness of survival. I highly look
forward to playing the sequel.

Je viens d'emménager, où aller pour rencontrer des gens? - sh.itjust.works
Ça fait un mois que j’ai emménagé dans le 15e et je suis très excité par toutes
les opportunités de rencontres et de découvertes dans la ville. Cependant la
solitude me pèse un peu… (Pour l’instant j’essaie de faire une expo tous les
week-end) Pour donner un peu de contexte, j’ai terminé le lycée et examens en
juillet 2024 et j’ai quitté la fac (ça ne me plaisait pas du tout) pour faire du
développement dans une boîte au centre de Paris. Du coup, plus de potes de
lycée/enfance, plus de potes de fac, et totalement perdu dans cette ville, très
jolie néanmoins et probablement passionnante. Si vous connaissez des
spots/assos/groupe pour sociabiliser en dehors du taff (et d’Internet) et
rencontrer une grande diversité de gens, écrivez un commentaire. J’aime/je fais
: - de l’open-source - du beatmaking - du JdR (je suis maître de jeu normalement
mais vraiment la flemme de m’y remettre en ce moment) - je lis beaucoup (de tout
mais pas mal de fantasy et de philo) Je suis curieux de découvrir : - les
catacombes (faut y aller au moins une fois tant que je peux) - le monde (je suis
jeune donc j’ai encore rien vu) Voili voilou je vous aime les loulous ❤️ Merci
d’avance…

Si vous connaissez un peu le slang, l’histoire de Juice WRLD, c’est vraiment une
musique frappante. Il faut savoir qu’il a (pratiquement) tout enregistré en 1
take! Je voulais juste partager ça :)

TL;DR Kamala & Biden partly fixed the immigration problem according to this
opinion piece from the NYT. I must admit that this was a truly convincing piece.
The Biden administration & Kamala Harris seem genuinely skilled in diplomacy and
political maneuvers that serve democratic values. What do you think? I’m not
American but still… Get Out & Vote!

I need a new phone but I want to do this right

I need a new phone but I want to do this right - sh.itjust.works
(Please when answering, assume I’m not a beginner at privacy/programming :) I
know where the good stuff at) First off, shameful confession: I’m writing this
on a dying yellow iPhone XR I bought second-hand three years ago (189€). I
absolutely love the look of it: the screen, build quality, are all amazing. The
only problem was the locked ecosystem (sideloading Spotify/Torrent client was
sooo hard). I saw the android phone of my mother dying really fast. She
currently has a Xiaomi phone that’s ridiculously big for my hands, there’s
advertisements in the stocks apps (?!!), the UX is janky and everything. It
looks like a bloat, privacy nightmare. So… because it’s impossible to find a
jailbreakable phone nowadays I need to buy an android and ideally I would want:
- Good screen (vivid colors) - Good build quality (not shitty plastic) - Don’t
care about the camera (I don’t want those ridiculously big cameras they make
nowadays) - Would want to install either GrapheneOS/LineageOS The things that
scare me off: - I really need my bank app and I need it updated so I have to use
Google Play Services but I don’t want it to plague my phone with privacy
bullshit (I want to be degoogled) The things that excite me: - Customization
possibilities - Learning experience - Even more privacy than a de-googled IOS
phone :) - F-Droid!! (Maybe I’ll find a beautiful IRC client) - More choices for
Mastodon & Lemmy clients - Freedom of free software. - client for open-source
git providers :) But to get all of that, I don’t want Google, I need shitty apps
(non-free software) I have to install: - Instagram (for non-technical friends) -
GitHub (job & open-source) - No-Ad Modded Spotify from Balatan - Discord (gamer
friends) - Telegram (cryptobros friends) - Steam (because I still love gaming)
Any advices? Phone ideas? I’m so lost in this ocean of choice (freedom ✨) My
current phone:

Attention, imaginez être défaillants! Pour être honnête, c’est peut-être moi qui
suis trop sensible; j’ai eu beaucoup de mauvaises expériences avec l’autorité en
général, surtout dans un contexte scolaire. Quand même, les cours ont même pas
commencé et la prof fait un appel à la peur énervé… j’espère que je vais pas me
retaper les mêmes tendances dogmatiques et autoritaire qu’au lycée. Vous savez:
le truc qu’on a tous vécu avec les profs débiles qui abusent de leur position de
pouvoir pour faire de la merde… Ça commence mal mdrr (Elle a même leak tout nos
mails à tout le monde: elle a fait un envoi groupé au lieu de juste mette en
copie cachée)

Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books?

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin
Hobb, and then Metro 2033. This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I
love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense
of the world they are forced to evolve into. Do you have any other book like
that?
