90’s kid, ici on parle surtout de JV récent (Nintendo & PC / Gamepass), de retrogaming, et quelques (re)découvertes que ça des films (surtout Disney / MCU) et d’autres choses au gré de mes envies ^^.

  • Haha that’s exactly when I got a good computer! I was a console guy until the release of the HTC Vive, and I kept it up to date until today. Only got a Switch for Nintendo games, and waiting patiently for the remaining exclusives to release on PC (but I spend half of my play time on retro games through emulation 😅).






  • I felt the same a year ago when I realized I might share some traits described by autistic people. It was first a relief, a convenient explanation to most things I struggle with, and some “strange” traits of mine.

    However, a diagnosis is very difficult to get in my country (years of waiting, not even sure I would get it one day). I decided not to do it because I don’t feel it would change anything beyond the validation. I don’t consider myself as truly autistic since I have no diagnosis, but I keep it in mind when I encounter difficulties, and it helped me a few times.



  • I don’t have an issue with eating because I have pretty strong eating habits established (except I sometimes skip my 4pm lunch because I am too focus on my work). But it’s a very different story when it comes to clothes, especially because weather changes quickly where I live (even during the same day). I try to establish some rules linked to the weather, but I do not always do it very well (and it’s worse when I forgot to look at the weather, it’s not a strong enough habit at the moment).

    It does not bother me a lot in practice, but people tend to tell me something is wrong (hot and I have no shirt, or cold and I have a shirt).


  • Here is my secret: I don’t care if I miss something. It’s not a problem if you miss a side quest or intentionally skip something (especially if you don’t enjoy it, it’s an annoying side quest). Completing a game can be quite enjoyable, but as soon as it becomes a chore or you see it as a todo list, that’s where I personally back off.

    For example in TOTK, I really enjoy my time just exploring here and here. I didn’t like the abyss at first so I played 30h+ hours before starting exploring it, and now that I feel more confident, I am passing most of my time there (that’s why I have played 70h+ hours with only one dungeon completed 😅). I knew about a 4th power, but I didn’t find it until very recently. I was enjoying my time with what I got, extrapolating about what it could be, but it was not a problem not to have it.


  • What helped me a lot was to look at a single eye, and not be afraid not to respond immediately (just a quick « let me think about it » + break eye contact + take 5-10 seconds before speaking again). Not perfect, but it’s much more manageable this way. If it’s a meeting with multiple people, I also tend to not look at the other people immediately (it feels easier to me to look at others while I am already « reciting »).



  • I think this particular Zelda is especially focused on exploration (unlike the next ones until BOTW). There are many secrets everywhere, with a lot of hints given by the NPCs. When I did it for the first time 10 years ago, I had explored so much that I completed the 3 last dungeons in a raw.

    If you don’t want to experience it this way, I guess you should follow a guide.
