Héritage du daron, l'étrange édition collector de RAMA qui contenait le jeu PC, mais aussi (et surtout) les bouquins aux éditions J'ai Lu.

Je trouve que ça juste, incroyable. Malheureusement dans mon cas, je crois que la boîte est vide...

Funeral Invitation, 1688.

Funeral invitations first appeared in the 17th century, and acted as an admission ticket to both the church and the funeral feast. Pallbearers were often assigned a number on the ticket to signify their position in carrying the coffin.

A funeral invitation from April, 1688. It has an ornate black border with various memento mori iconography around it - like skeletons, winged hourglasses, and scythes.

a fascinating writeup on the making of a set of widely distributed IDF propaganda videos, specifically identifying assets they used. there's something incredibly unsettling about the creative ethos here. stolen assets. no actual intelligence information at all. just hubris and pure fabrication.

Jack Sapoch @jacksapoch.bsky.social · 1d

Others assets came from scans made by the Scottish Maritime Museum of their boat-building workshop which was downloaded (via @sketchfab.bsky.social) and reimagined by the IDF adornments for underground missile factories.

The thing they don’t understand about drawing NSFW is that it’s a roleplay with yourself. It’s an expression of your ideas and fantasies, made entirely by you, in a way that can’t hurt anybody. Needing the characters to consent is ludicrous: I’m the artist and *I* consent. I’m the only participant.

this is a really good sign, but it's not over until it's over. Germany has flipped before, and we cannot risk it flipping again. Germans, continue to voice your opposition to your MEPs/MPs. likewise, everyone else in the EU should be similarly vocal!

we have 7 more days!

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

This is why I'm not generally in favour of remasters as they tend to lead to the erasure of originals, or at best, they are relegated to becoming DLC for newer versions.

This is not preservation, just a cynical cash grab, ironically by a company that is not even the original it claims to be.

A delisting notice in Steam for the original version of System Shock 2. It reads:

System Shock 2 (1999) will be delisted from PC platforms on October 10, 2025.

Existing owners of System Shock 2 (1999) will still be able to re-download and play it from their library, but new users will no longer be able to purchase System Shock 2 (1999) as a standalone product.

At the time of delisting, System Shock 2 (1999) will be made available with the purchase of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster.

Both new and existing owners of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will be able to access System Shock 2 (1999) from their library at no additional cost.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our support team (support@atari.com).
