soner du

soner du = dark piper Ar Sonerien Du (the dark pipers) is a band playing folk music not far away from my hometown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonerien_Du. They still exist, though the original members are gone (one of them, Jean-Pierre Le Cam, was active between 1972 and 2013). They're named after a former folk duo of the same name, who were framed for murder and hanged at the end of the 18th century. I've been using that nickname on the net for decades, it's generally available everywhere since it's in an unusual language.

ROSS : February 2024 update (software upgrade, WAD change) The main reasons for this update are upgrades : Freedoom data : upgrade from v1.1.3 to the fresh (january 2024) v1.3.0 : four monsters are changed, etc. Chocolate Doom engine : upgrade from v3.0.0 to v3.0.1 : mostly a minor security upgrade Also : For different reasons (changed skies, changed monsters...), the Freedoom WADs are now significantly bigger, especially Freedoom1.wad that gained nearly 5MB. So that the packages have approximately the same size, I've changed one of the pWADs in the "ROSS: Inferno Earth" package : the very excellent 1-map "Null Space" is replaced by the hyper wonderful 4-map "Suspended in Dusk". Now the unzipped packages are slightly under 36MB, instead of slightly under 32MB : 35,7 MB each, approximately. https://osr-vf.itch.io/ross Happy slaughter everyone !

I was a big fan of Wolfenstain 3D since when it came out, and was eagerly waiting for the following came. I played DOOM the week (maybe the day ?) it came out ! Stopped to play the game in '97 (when Quake II came out, for some reason I didn't play Quake back then, and I was not that impressed with Duke Nukem), and came back to DOOM around the year 2009, when I was looking for light fun games for my mini-PC.

Bloavezh mat d'an holl !

I have one "official" (featured in the official store) version of Freedoom on my feature phone (a "smart dumb phone" under KaiOS, a Nokia 2720). https://www.kaiostech.com/store/apps/?bundle_id=kaios.app.freedoom Uneasy controls, but it works. I've not tried to change the IWAD, but it's possible.

Me, running a game of Dishonored 2d20 RPG last year. From the local newspaper : https://www.letelegramme.fr/finistere/tourch-29140/les-jeux-de-roles-avec-a-nous-de-jouer-samedi-28-et-dimanche-29-octobre-a-tourch-6453695.php Just in front of me, you can see my amazing low-tech wireless speaker (empty roll of toilet paper + 2 yoghurt pots).

I'm 51. I've played Wolf3D in '92, and Doom in '93 !

1,88m according to the latest medical measurement. (That's 0,0010151187904968 nautic miles or something) I stopped growing when I was 15, I was very tall back then compared to my schoolmates, at my current age (51) I'm tall but not exceptionnally so.

At home : I like the default desktop backgrounds of EndeavourOS, space-themed with some pink/violet shades.

"Vanilla" Blasphemer IWAD requires a limit-removing port... The Deathmatch variant is truely vanilla (AFAIK), though.

Freethinker updated : Blasphemer IWAD updated from v0.17 to v0.18 single-map WADs (Valley of Saints and The Crypts) replaced by full episodes (Shadowcaster and Malice)

Latest Breton lesson : when you want to put an object pronoun at the beginning of a sentence, you have to replace it with a possessive adjective. "I love you", the most neutrally possible (I'm in love for you) = Karout a ran ac'hanout (Love I-do you). "I love you", focussing on the subject (I'm the one who loves you) = Me a gar ac'hanout (Me loves you). "I love you", focussing on the object (you're the one I love) "Da garout a ran" (Your love I-do). Or possibly "Da garan" (Your I-love), shorter, cuter but grammatically weirder.
