  • J’ai eu une énorme phase dans la vie où j’ai voulu lire tout ce qu’on le recommandait, et j’ai lu le seigneur des anneaux, dune, et une bonne partie de game of thrones.

    Je déteste le style de Georges R. R. Martin ( si vous l’aimez tant mieux pour vous, mais c’est vraiment pas ma tasse de thé).

    Je trouve que Tolkien mets 300 ans à arriver où que ce soit, et fait des détours qui m’insupportent (je me fous de ce qui arrive au poney, me fais pas un laïus qui est contredit par la suite de l’histoire).

    Mais j’adore Dune (les 2 premiers livres, après c’est plus mitigé).

    Tout ça pour dire: ne t’interdis pas de lire autre chose, tu as maintenant le super pouvoir de dire “mouais, pas mon kiff” et ne pas finir le bouquin.






  • I’ll explain as if your first language is not English.

    Dry means something that has no moisture in it, like sand can be dry or wet.

    Obviously something dry contains no moisture or liquids.

    A Martini is a cocktail, mixed from mostly gin and vermouth. In this context, dry means “little vermouth”, so the taste of the gin is most prevalent.

    So the joke is between the two different meanings of the word, as obviously a dry cocktail makes no sense if you take the first meaning of the word.





  • I’m very sad they are closing shop, but I understand it.

    I find their last DLC awfully expensive, but I think I’ll buy them anyway, as I really loved all their games (bought desperados 3 day 1, same for shadow gambit, and no regrets).

    Their games were crafted with love, and it shows. If you haven’t, go and try them on, it’s a fun genre.

    I started playing because I had nostalgia for the commandos games, but they really refined the gameplay and made the different difficulty modes so everyone can have fun.
