A Happy new year to you guys ! :D No real need to say it but 2022 was probably the worst year since a long, long time. Marked in large part by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and a war that became the largest and most brutal seen in Europe since WW2, with terrible suffering by Ukrainian people. For the rest of the world it meant a skyrocketing in international tensions, energy and food shortage, inflation etc. In one word : 2022 sucked.. badly ^^; I hope 2023 will be better, that Ukrainians will be able to liberate their country and defeat the invader, and that the word turn a corner an decide that a global brawl is not really what we need right now . Buut to be honest 2023 is likely to see a lot of turmoil as well. But at the very least I hope you and your relatives will stay healthy and that we all manage through it :) . As far as I'm concerned, If at the exact time next year I can write : "2023 was meh but at least it was much better than 2022" I'd count myself happy XD So

Merry Christmas to you guys :) I say it in advance as i'll be taking a small break starting tomorrow to visit my family in the country and spend time with them. So have a nice one ! :D

Manifold garden is a game that caught my attention when it got released a few years ago but that I didn't play and it kind of went off my radar. Then recently I heard about it again, checked it, saw it was on sale on steam so decided why not XP And boy what a game ! It's been long I have played something so striking. It's not for everybody. It's pretty much one of these "walking simulators" ala Journey, where there are no battles and barely anything resembling a threat. It's very calm and contemplative and based essentially on puzzles and exploration. The catch is it happens in an infinite space of strange physics immediately reminding of Escher's work :) As the player you have the power to alter gravity and make the surface you touch the "ground" if you wish so. For instance, if you touch a wall, with one click, the perspective changes completely and the wall is now the ground where you stand. What was a large hall a second ago, stretching seemingly as far as the eyes could
