  • If you’re out of the loop with French politics, the wiki entry for Bayrou is worth a glance:

    73 years young…

    On 21 June 2017, he resigned from the government amid an investigation into the MoDem’s allegedly fraudulent employment of parliamentary assistants, initiated earlier that month.

    Bayrou resigned [as Minister of Justice] several days before the 2017 legislative election, only 35 days after he had taken the post.

    Since September 2020, Bayrou has been the haut-commissaire au plan (a high commissioner of planning). In 2024 he has published a single note. It was in January. Nothing since. Nada. Since taking the position, the high commissioner has published a total of 17 notes.

    I live in France and thought this guy was retired for some reason.










  • Last week I handed over too much money for a game that I’m now determined to grind until there is nothing left to grind.

    Raiden NOVA

    I might even write a review for it.

    It’s essentially Geometry Wars set in the Raiden universe with a roguelite aspect (other users say it is like Vampire Survivors, but I haven’t played that game). Graphics are (very) dated, but gameplay is satisfying. Main arcade can be beat in about 1.5 hours but if you want all the ships and buffs and achievements you need to commit yourself to grinding over 80 hours.

    Either way, it is one of the few physical Switch games (other than all the flagship Mario games my son loves) that I own and plus it is an import which is neat.
