  • So the thing is, like other commenters have said, you’re asking metaphysics things through the prism of science, which does not work because by nature, science uses the (mostly) objective scientific method, while metaphysics is based on subjective assessments.

    You have to separate the physical, material universe as being in the domain of what can be known, from the rest, which can not be, and never will. This does not mean it doesn’t exist, just that it can never be studied or proved in any way, so anyone can believe what they wish about it without leaving rationality (as long as the belief does not imply things concerning the material universe)





  • I have several suggestions, with different overall vibes, but that I think still relate to this itch.

    First of all, my timewaster at the moment is Balatro. Not original, but fills the niche of a game you can hop on and off as needed, no need for quick reflexes, but still a sense of having to play and engage, with long term progression.

    There was a time when Potion craft was the scratcher of this cozy niche. Very cool artstyle and music, no time constraints gameplay, and again a meaningful sense of progression with a very low bar for entry.

    Perhaps not the best fit for your question, but I’ll still say it so you can try, Return of the obra dinn. It’s not cosy, but fits the criteria of something you can play with rather minimal “gamer experience” while enjoying it to the fullest. It’s an incredible investigation game where you uncover a superb and compelling story, at your own pace. Again, very characteristic artstyle, and one of my all time favorite music.

    It would be a crime to answer a cozy game suggestion without mentioning Stardew Valley, however I think it’s going a bit against the non-gamer thing. Still, very nice game!

    Another suggestion could be Powerwash simulator, very “brains off” kind of gameplay, very simple even for a non gamer (actually tried with a very not gamer family member), and sooo satisfying!

    You may also like things like Poly bridge and other puzzle games, but I haven’t really played these so I can’t personally say.

    I hope you find at least one thing you like here, and I’ll add some if I think of more









  • Je partage ce ressenti, j’utilise différentes lignes de transports sur Paris et l’île de France de manière quotidienne depuis maintenant 6 ans (discontinus cumulés).

    Les gros bagages peuvent évidemment être pénibles, par exemple dans des lignes très fréquentées en heures de pointe (coucou la 6 à 18h), mais c’est normal, les voyageurs doivent transiter vers leurs destinations ou leurs correspondances, c’est le but des transports publics. Et instaurer des réglementations d’heures de pointes n’y changerait je pense pas grand chose tout en introduisant plus de confusion, avec le malus d’envoyer des usagers vers d’autres solutions comme les taxis ou VTC, qui deviennent seuls à même de transporter ces bagages supérieurs aux normes.




  • J’ai réalisé seulement après mes 20 ans que “euro” c’était parce que c’était la monnaie de l’Europe… Mais le must c’était quand même au collège, j’ai dévoré les livres Harry Potter, sans avoir lu les films, et quand j’en parlais je prononçais Ron comme le mot “rond”, jusqu’à tomber honteusement tard sur quelqu’un qui m’a pointé la prononciation normale
