Bon, on est à ça 🤏 du nouvel an, autant passer tout de suite à un petit "bilan culturel".

🎬 Ce qui me chagrine c'est que côté ciné, on est sur la même disette qu'en 2022.
De multiples raisons ont fait que je suis très peu allé au cinéma en 2023, aussi je ne suis même pas sûr de pouvoir dresser un top 10.

Mais quand même : "Spider-Man : Across the Spider-Verse" hein !

Ich war letztens in so einem Bücherladen von einer Kette und war echt wieder mal (negativ) überrascht, dass die da halt drölfzig verschiedene Tarot-Kartensets und Ähnliches verkaufen.
I mean das ist ja nen Riesentrend auf TikTok. Und die sehen ja auch hübsch aus und alles. Aber es ist trotzdem magisches Denken und kann halt in ganz doofe Richtungen führen. Man man man.

@FrauMaja Ich bin auch keine allzu große Freundin davon. In anbetracht der Komplexität unserer Natur und der Breite und Tiefe des bereits gesammelten und verfügbaren Wissens kann ich jedoch nachvollziehen, dass sich ein großer Personkreis davon stark überfordert und geängstig fühlt. Klar kann man Entscheidungen, die schwer fallen, auch auswürfeln, aber mit einer gewissen aufbereiteten Story außenrum scheint es vielen mehr Spaß zu machen.

I finally read Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell last week, what an wonderful imagination she has. It's fascinating to see where it takes a story and the places her characters inhabit. A really good storyteller is an author I treasure.

Lately I've been playing games in a quite limited range of genres, mostly souls-likes, metroidvanias, soulsvanias, and a few CRPGs and JRPGs. And I'm thinking that I would like to broaden the spectrum of what I play.

So can I ask you all in here to and tell me about some of the stuff you enjoy? I'll be happy to try some gems I would be missing otherwise :)

Have you taken a look at ? Probably makes my top five of the year. It's a really atmospheric Lovecraftian fishing game.

And which is a narrative puzzle game where you have to fit together little story boards to fit into the story being given to you. Absolutely adorable and also probably makes my top five.

J'ai joué (et fini) hier, l'ayant découvert gratuitement sur l'appli Netflix.

C'est bien, c'est chouette hein. Tout à fait dans la veine des petits et très bons "I wish I was the moon" et "Today I die", aussi faits par Daniel Benmergui.

Mais j'attendais ce projet depuis si longtemps (15 ans !), et il se fini si vite... Je suis content de l'avoir fait et qu'un autre (Netflix) paie la facture, parce qu'avec cela il n'est pas vraiment rejouable.
