  • Beyond Good and Evil 2. And I mean the actual continuation of the story from 1, since, you know, the story had no conclusion and left the protagonists in deep shit.

    I certainly don’t mean the absurd shit they presented long ago and never even realised. Because obviously what’s needed after 1 was “mostly multiplayer planer-sized open world prequel featuring new characters, probably mostly made of procedural content, and maybe you can enjoy it single-player too, who knows”.



  • I know at least one city in France taking measures to severely limit Airbnb, because it’s becoming a ghost town and people who actually work there can’t find anywhere to live. The housing situation in the area is terrible.

    Good for them. I already can’t stand “professional” landlords that get into the business of shitting over places people need to live to maximise profit. Those who are taking over those spaces to turn them into fake hotels without the constraints are the lowest of that scum.




  • Amiibos are a bit expensive. There are a few DK amiibos, they should all work with Smash because amiibos have a character identifier that’s recognized between games and amiibo series.

    The ones from smash bros and super mario series should be around the “normal” price (for me it’s about 13-15 euros). Maybe you can find a second hand one for cheaper.

    There’s a new one with DK and Pauline for Bananza, like other new amiibos it costs a bit more (around 18€ for me). It unlocks a costume in Bananza as an extra.

    There’s also an old Skylander DK figure that doubles as an amiibo if I remember correctly. It’s kinda ugly and cheap-looking, and probably not easy to find, but who knows.












  • I prefer the first one to be honest.

    2 botches things that worked very well before. Especially the camera that did a good job of always being in the right place in 1, but in 2 you suddenly have crazy angles and blind spots that play against you. This can’t even be explained by more complex level design, so who knows what happened.

    Also they got rid of the hub for a small, disturbing looking ship and a very generic map, and they killed any trace of story. Those were two things that really set Galaxy 1 apart IMO.

    On the new side of things, there were Yoshi, with different powers, and more challenges (but they kind of feel repetitive, because you end up needing to do the same things with just an additional timer or enemy etc…). And the last stars were quite a bit harder than anything in Galaxy.
