I'd forgotten I'd made threads as soon as I got here. It wasn't very practical, but I couldn't help myself. 😅
Until I have a system for grouping them on my profile, like on the other network, I'll gather them here. 🖖

I started playing Kingdom: Two Crowns (2018) again with my son. What a successful minimalist strategy and city-building game. We always find it hard to stop playing, as we spend so much time preparing our next objectives. +This game is so beautiful.
One of the best coop games to play with my kids.

I leafed through "Make Us Whole" again, and it really is a great retrospective of Dead Space. It's really fascinating to see how this transmedia project came together, and how the IP evolved and inspired others.
I only played the first game and the remake, but this book was really captivating.

I realize that I have accumulated quite a few images of recent fictional spacecraft that I cannot show on social networks because their existence is TheSecret in several recent films and TV shows. 😅

What was your #childhoodcinema
The Pathé cinema in Maisons-Laffitte (France), which closed when I was very young.
But that's where I saw Spielberg's E.T. when I was 3 or 4 years old, I cried a lot at the end of that aisle, and without that, I probably wouldn't be managing this account.

[Thread] I saw High Life (2018), an indie film by Claire Denis starring Robert Pattinson, Mia Goth, and Juliette Binoche.
It's the story of a spaceship carrying prisoners serving life sentences (child murderers, rapists, etc.) that heads towards a black hole to test an energy extraction process.
