You should probably now call all reforestation as bullshit projects just based on a John Oliver video.
There is this interesting blog post on Ecosia :
cariki.co.uk/blogs/…/is-ecosia-legit-or-fake#:~:t….
I understand this is just a blog but there is good sources in there. Ecosia looks like a serious initiative and the fact that they got a B corp rating in Germany is impressive.
- Comment on Favourite controllers 1 week ago:
The dualsense controller is pretty good.
My issue with it is that the trigger buttons quickly got a bit mushy and loose. Didn’t help to play a ton of Rocket League on it but still it’s not a very durable controller.
Also, the battery was completely fucked up by the fact that I was playing it wired on PC. It was all the time charging when I was playing and then apparently discharging when the computer was off. Support is also pretty poor on PC and you often get games that are not compatible.
I’m interested in replacing it eventually by a good hall effect third party controller. Probably the Gamesir T4 Kaleid or something similar.

Meanwhile Larian studio reminding everyone that a good way to make money and avoid layoffs is to be nimble and make good games.
Big Corps sees nimble and good studio making a good game, starts layoffs immediately.
The real murderers are the people that sell their studio to a big publisher. They immediately seal the fate of their teams. They will have layoffs eventually…

First would you mind telling me where I defend Sony ?
It must be very subtle.
This conversation already starts in bad faith. You are trying to undermine my comment by declaring I’m taking side with Sony. There is nothing in my recent comments that says Sony has done something right or that I agree with their move. Nothing.
Am I allowed to genuinely think this account issue wasn’t that much of a big deal ? Or do I only get to choose if I’m a Sony shill or not ? I have seen my favorite game franchise getting shat on for years by their developers (EA) and I have seen things thousands of time much worse from EA than this account requirement from PS. Still right to call out Sony for this but this is not a “this game is unplayable” issue like we had many times on other games. So yeah I have a nuanced opinion on this and didnt immediately accept that Sony murdered Helldivers 2 and that the game is dead.
My suggestion is not complicated. Stay truthful in your reviews. That’s not rocket science. A lot of these reviews are rating or presenting the game as much worse than they really think it is. Most of these players will review bomb and will play hundred of hours just after that. I’m fucking French I understand what protests are and that being an annoyance is kind of the point. But review bombing on steam and telling a naive player that would definitely enjoy the game that the game is trash will never be cool. You can say in your review that you don’t like that aspect of the game but if the point is only to be negative and untrustworthy this is not the way. Again if you truly suddenly think that game is “the worst game ever” after playing hundreds of hours and learning of the PS requirements then fine but I doubt it’s what happens.
Also did you stop to think what is your comment bringing to the table here ? It’s just an unnecessarily aggressive comment and doesn’t either provide anything beside telling me I’m wrong and it’s a bad take.
It’s a bad take to tell people their only means of effective protest is not going through proper channels.
Steam review bombing is absolutely not the proper channel to voice discontent. It’s a review. Not a forum, not a dev support channel. It’s a review. You are giving your honest feedback on a game. The good and the bad. Not just “the thing everyone told me is bad” and nothing else.
This is not cool to tell devs their game is trash on the steam page if you don’t really and truthfully think so.
Absolutely despise th fact that devs have to constantly read their game is trash in steam reviews because some higher-ups decided to go full greed mode.
So yeah Steam REVIEWS are NOT the proper channel to voice discontent. Almost any other forum or social network is. Just not a steam review page.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
So you are asking other players to review bomb and try to kill a game you never bought yourself?
Fascinating.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
No problem.
Legit question: Did you completely stopped playing Helldivers 2 ?
Is it uninstalled?
Did you ask for a refund ?
Because if you still play the game and at the same time say it should be trashed that’s a lot of hypocrisy.
It can’t be both. You can criticize the game that’s fine. But if you still play it and you are so vocal for its demise then you are definitely part of the problem here.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
Sure let’s destroy this game all together because of this issue.
A well thought out and mature reaction is to pretend the game is bad in the steam reviews even though you clocked 100+ hours into it.
I mean there is a ton of things Helldivers does better than any other games and we are gonna trash that because of a PSN account requirements ?
I understand this is a valid issue for certain players but is it a proportionate response to this situation to trash the game on steam? I don’t think so.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
That’s what pisses me off with the steam review bombing.
If that’s the only way to express discontent then that will fucking sucks for everybody involved in game development.
If at least review bombing was a last resort but now it’s the norm. These reviews will have a lasting effect on the game even though the drama bubble has now popped.

- Comment on Macron 2 months ago:
It’s just communication.
There will never be any french troops in Ukraine during the conflict.
It’s very clear in the army at least both in higher-ups and in troops I think.
Advisors, trainers and other types of support definitely but there will not be any french troops in Ukraine.
Macron might say the complete opposite in a few months it is meaningless.
This is part of the purposefully ambiguous strategy our army wants to push. We just don’t want to have a too detailed limit to what Russia can and cannot do before we act. But technically it’s fairly irrelevant here since it’s a NATO issue.
People shouldn’t think much to what our president says. This is a diversion to avoid talking about other subjects.
- Comment on Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck 2 months ago:
Honestly slowing down too much can easily create an accident that didn’t exist in the first place.
Not every situation can be handled by slowing down.
If that’s the default behavior on high speed road this could be deadly for the car behind you.
- Comment on Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck 2 months ago:
Honestly, I’m pragmatic, if less people die in accidents involving autonomous car, then yes.
The thing is we shouldn’t be trusting the manufacturers for these stats. It has to be reported by a government agency or something.
Similarly Autonomous car software should have to be certified by an independent organization before being deployed. Same thing for updates to the software. Otherwise we would get deadly updates from time to time.
If we deploy and handle autonomous car with the same safety approach as in aviation I’m sure this transition can be done fairly safely.

- Comment on Average French launguage learner 2 months ago:
Yes, it’s a complete fail on my part.
I wanted to verify how to conjugate this verb and ended up on a classic website “Le conjugueur”.
But you can’t use that website anymore without accepting cookies. So I went to the “Le monde” conjugueur but it just didn’t show conditional present.
That being said I knew and used many times “je croirais” so I don’t know what went through my mind :(
- Comment on Average French launguage learner 2 months ago:
The issue here is more the fact that “Je croirais” doesn’t exist.
It’s close to “Je croirai” which is simple futur (Futur simple).
So what you said is closer to "I will believe ".
The past tense that would work here would be :
“Je croyais que” (Imparfait).
But yeah you could say “Je croyais que” or “Je pensais que” both would be fine.
- Comment on Average French launguage learner 2 months ago:
IMO “Je croirais” is related to the verb “to believe”.
“I think” would most likely be translated to “Je pense”.
A thinker is a “penseur” in French.
So basically, you could end the sentence (or even better start it) with “Je pense”.
Here I would say “Je pense que [Insert doubtful info]”.

Honestly, I think only trial and error will let us get a proper autonomous car.
And I still think autonomous cars will save many more lives than it endangered once it become reliable.
But for now this is bound to happen…
To be clear, they still are responsible of these car and the safety of others. They didn’t test properly.
They should be trying every edge case they can think about.
A large screen on the side of a truck ? What if a car is displayed on it ? Would the car sensor notice the difference?
A farmer dropped a hay bale on the road ? It got flattened by rain ? Does the car understand that this might not be safe to drive on or to brake on ?
There is hundreds of unique situations that they should be trying before an autonomous car gets even close to a public road.
But even if you try everything there will be mistakes and fatalities.

It all relates to the density of energy in fuel.
Fossil fuel is so energy dense you can get away with pretty much any way to distribute/dispense.
what infrastructure are you left with? Trucks?
Trucks and most importantly thousands of strategically located gas stations. Even if you distribute a different kind and less dense energy I would argue it still makes sense to have spread stations all over the place.
If we want to keep using our existing roads and highways we will need those stations even if they distribute something entirely different.
