Currently expanding and improving the church and cemetery in Graveyard Keeper 2 ⛪️ 🪦 🌹 I'm gradually replacing the wood with stone. And the next step will be marble structures 😁 #GraveyardKeeper2 #FarmingSim #PixelArt

While sorting through the attic again, I found this Amstrad CPC 6128 with some floppy disks 😀 A coworker gave it to me a long time ago. When I have time, I'll plug it in to see if it still works. I don't remember if the floppy disk drive still worked. 🧵 1/ #AmstradCPC #CPC6128 #RetroGaming

I watched "The Encounter". It might be the most intense episode of The Twilight Zone I've ever seen. Driven by a meticulously crafted screenplay and two outstanding actors at the top of their game. I was blown away 😵 #TwilightZone #QuatrièmeDimension #TVSeries

George Takei in The Encounter (The Twilight Zone season 5, episode 31, broadcast on May 1, 1964), two years before he starred in the Star Trek series!

It always makes me happy to read a review of my game #Pictopix in my native language 🙂 (translation of the French text in the image description) #PuzzleGame #Nonogram #Picross #ピクロス #IndieGame #SoloDev

"For all Picross fans (a name exclusive to Nintendo), Pictopix is a love letter. It’s incredibly generous—enough to put all the titles released by Jupiter to shame, given just how much there is to do here. Thank you for this game, which lets me enjoy some truly wonderful moments of reflection."

Première fois et dernière fois que je passe par #Fnac Reprise. Entre les photos de ma (?) console dégradée (alors qu'elle était très propre) et une offre de reprise très inférieure à ce qu'on peut en tirer ailleurs, je me suis clairement fait arnaquer 🙁

Terranigma finished 🌍 🪶 A very beautiful game with a wonderful story and original ideas, but sometimes ruined by baffling design choices or tedious quests. So I’m left with a bitter aftertaste. #Terranigma #Enix #SuperNintendo #SNES #RetroGaming #JRPG

It's such a pleasure to see Martin Landau again in an episode of The Twilight Zone 😀 Even though this episode strays far from the spirit of the series, it’s very well made. Excellent actors directed by Richard Donner! (The Goonies, Superman, etc.) #TwilightZone #MartinLandau #RichardDonner

This boss was a real pain 😫 Even after figuring out how to attack her, the damage we deal is very low. And the spell selection menu is really poorly designed. Terranigma can be very frustrating at times 😤 #Terranigma #Enix #SuperNintendo #SNES #RetroGaming #JRPG

I had a little trouble finding my way to that boss in Terranigma ⚔️ On the other hand, I probably found all the chests in the area and earned quite a bit of XP. That made the boss fight easier 🙃 #Terranigma #Enix #SuperNintendo #SNES #RetroGaming #JRPG
