I’ve managed to get a few deals over the years that sort of fit the bill.

Hollow Knight when it was on sale, for example. But I abandoned at 98% (it goes to 113%, right?). There are a decent number of other Metroidvania-style games that are frequently discounted and are wholly enjoyable (the Shantae series, Iconoclasts, etc.).

Stardew Valley I found new, in box, for PS4 with audio CD for €8.50 and bought it based on the description without any knowledge of what it was.

Many shmups are meant to be overplayed and remain enjoyable. Radiant Silvergun comes to mind, and there is a bit of a story to that one as well.

If you’re out of the loop with French politics, the wiki entry for Bayrou is worth a glance:

73 years young…

On 21 June 2017, he resigned from the government amid an investigation into the MoDem’s allegedly fraudulent employment of parliamentary assistants, initiated earlier that month.

Bayrou resigned [as Minister of Justice] several days before the 2017 legislative election, only 35 days after he had taken the post.

Since September 2020, Bayrou has been the haut-commissaire au plan (a high commissioner of planning). In 2024 he has published a single note. It was in January. Nothing since. Nada. Since taking the position, the high commissioner has published a total of 17 notes.

I live in France and thought this guy was retired for some reason.

Fuckin’ Zuck. Seriously. Bezos too. Musk. They’re all bootlicking, ass-kissing, apple-polishing, brown-nosed toadies.

And they get away with crimes on an hourly basis.
