I read The Black Cloud by Fred Hoyle (1957)
A fast and fun sci-fi mystery about a fuckin' cloud from fuckin' outer space. Excellent pacing, not too long. A page turner. Nothing too crazy, but in the context of 1957 it seems very modern.
Fun fact the author was a steady state theorist and disses big bang theory in the book.

Telegram Founder Pavel Durov Arrested in France, Reportedly For Refusing to Censor Content

@Indigo I've heard that the biggest problem was making Samus into an emotional cry-baby with PTSD. The gameplay was extremely linear and used the Wiimote on it's side for a 3D game.
@Indigo That game almost killed Retro, especially after laying off 3/4 of their employees and cancelled 3 other games they were working on. Also, during development the CEO of Retro Studios got caught hosting a porn site which I find absolutely hilarious.
@Indigo I still haven't played it. I'm pretty sure it's good but I feel like part of the charm of Metroid was that it brought non-linearity to a perspective that is normally for linear games which is why I get that a lot of people were uneasy about the change.

Just finished Metroid Prime 1 for the first time (Wii version).
I first played this game on the Gamecube when I was about 13. I could never get past the Omega Pirate.
Good game. I think it's admirable that despite the change to a first person shooter presentation it's still very unmistakably a Metroid game.
Finishing a game you couldn't finish as a kid is a very uniquely fulfilling experience, I don't have that many left at this point, so it's becoming an increasingly rare one for me...

It seems like the universe is trying to prevent me from making a decent New York-style pizza.

This week we visited Le Redoutable (former nuclear submarine), and inside was this very cute computer-looking thing, with pdp11-like switches.
Thing is, trying to ddg it didn't yield anything, the manufacturer itself (Sintra ?) doesn't even have a wikipedia page, let alone for this specific model.
Does this ring any bells with anyone here? Especially with French retrocomputing nerd?

@ArdainianRight I think cereal box prizes were in higher quality. You even had cereal boxes with full PC games.
@ArdainianRight Happy Meal toys were never good.
