      <p>I just received this year's edition of <a href="https://speedons.fr/">SpeeDons</a>
T-shirts. As usual, they come with superb illustrations from
<a href="https://dzoho.framer.website/">Dzoan Ho</a>. I think that in the last three years
or so, I've only bought T-shirts during this event, and I regret nothing. This
time I got 2 normal ones, 2 <em>limited editions</em>, and I also managed to get the
sweatshirt. Super happy about that!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[
      <p>This Sunday, we finished
<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1812090/Escape_Academy/">Escape Academy</a>
with <em>the girlfriend</em>. It took us around 6 hours across 4 sessions.</p>
<p>It is an excellent two-player cooperative game and you can feel that it was
designed to be played remotely with someone else. A lot of gameplay mechanics
require collaboration and solutions benefit from different ways of thinking, so
it is very likely that both players will have their moments to shine. The
puzzles are well balanced. Not too complicated, so it remains a casual and fun
game, but not too easy, so it gives you a real sense of accomplishment and
multiple aha moments.</p>
<p>It is a game I would highly recommend playing.</p>

      <title>The Odyssey review</title>

      <description><![CDATA[
      <p>I watched <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odyssey_(2026_film)">The Odyssey</a>
in the cinema today, mainly out of
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out">FOMO</a>. First of all, WTF
with all those ads before the movie, I'm paying to watch the film, not ads.</p>
<p>Anyway, regarding the movie. It is genuinely a good movie, I enjoyed watching
it. I'm just a bit sad about the lost potential, I would have loved a more
contemplative/traveling movie with more cinematic shots of the boat, the ocean,
and the islands. Also, the narrative decision of telling the story as a
succession of flashbacks breaks the immersion for me.</p>
<p>But overall, it's one of the best movies of recent years, and I would definitely
recommend watching it.</p>
