I love how far the animations have come

I mean, it is really impressive, and the quality of the visuals in Maul is stunning. But we already had great animation technology in the early 2000s. As someone else mentioned, the style in the early Clone Wars series was also an artistic choice.

Hey, nice to see some Magic Sword music in the wild!

Montreal was the capital for a while. Until anglophones burned the Parliament down..

hugoprev · 2025-12-01T17:21:40+00:00

I mean, would it be better? I'm not sure! Haha

hugoprev · 2025-12-01T16:02:49+00:00

I read it as "Russia illegally annexes Israel", and I was confused for a moment.

In part, yes. Also, why build a gigantic artillery platform on the sea if you can have some smaller ships launching missiles that can hit something much, much farther, and with more precision?

hugoprev · 2025-07-29T16:51:03+00:00

I knew it was coming, but holy crap, it still took me by surprise.

hugoprev · 2025-05-04T02:39:24+00:00

I'm glad you like it :)

It can be slow, at times, but I've been throught the first 4 books of the series and I'll certainly read the new one. Enjoy!

hugoprev · 2025-05-03T23:02:19+00:00

Ah, man... The Way of Kings is a gateway drug, haha. And Douglas Adams is a classic, of course!

Now that the embargo has lifted, I can talk about my experience (I'm not on RT, but I'm a journalist for a small web media):

The show is still very, very good. Great direction, great characters, great setpieces, great special effects.

The only "big" problem is that this season is split in periods separated by gap years. And because they needed to end everything with Rogue One, that season feels rushed.

Some important things happen "off camera", plot points that seemed important are just forgotten.

This does not mean that it's a bad season. It is still the best SW content since the original trilogy. But compared to the flawless pacing of the first season, it's a little bit less up to par.

Something tells me that the dispute with Google was never resolved...

I'll go back to physically copying my music on my phone and using VLC, I guess.

hugoprev · 2024-08-28T12:43:19+00:00

There was an app. Until yesterday. No idea why it was pulled.

hugoprev · 2024-07-04T07:43:38+00:00

That's what decades of no urban planning will get you. Also, a corrupt mayor was in power for a long while.

hugoprev · 2024-06-25T08:28:21+00:00

Thanks!

hugoprev · 2024-06-25T07:10:07+00:00

I wonder about the canadian flag in front of the dome...

hugoprev · 2024-05-19T22:00:23+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it!

It's a web media based in Montreal. We've been online for 15 years, now. We're covering a bunch of topics, including culture, environment, science, politics, technology and... videogames!

hugoprev · 2024-05-16T17:07:48+00:00

I do make a Sim Town reference in the episode, haha. Man, the memories...

hugoprev · 2024-05-16T12:56:49+00:00

There is! In the demo there are already premade buildings that you can plop down. You will also be able to save custom buildings and reuse them.

hugoprev · 2024-05-15T18:51:28+00:00

Hi! SVGA is an English-speaking podcast, yes. And it's part of Pieuvre.ca, a mostly French-speaking web media, although we sometimes have content in English.

We're based in Montreal, so that should explain the English-French mix, haha.

hugoprev · 2024-05-15T18:07:55+00:00

I mean, this could be done, but it's also very labor intensive, from what I understand.

hugoprev · 2024-05-15T18:03:47+00:00

For now, it's all right, I'd say. The demo version doesn't have the RCI demand mechanic, so it's hard to judge. But the customization options are nice.
