Sony gives in to the demands of cross play, to the joy of friends

Over the last few months, one of the sweetest and most enjoyable controversies in games has been Sony's persistent refusal to allow game play between consoles on the PlayStation 4's multiplayer games, despite the wish of many publishers, apparently, very technically feasible. (The feature was actually activated by accident before.)

Now, finally, they gave in. This week, Sony has announced that it will begin to allow cross-play on some multiplayer titles. Although this is done on a case-by-case basis, this means that if you have friends who use other game consoles, you may be able to play with them. The first game to receive the cross game is, of course, Fortnite.

I guess we need to talk about Bowsette, huh?

Fandom is strange and beautiful, and very thirsty. Last week was the irrefutable proof with the appearance of Bowsette, a phenomenon difficult to explain. So, recently, when Nintendo announced Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for the Switch, a new Mario powerup was introduced, a crown of mushrooms that could turn Toadette into Peachette, a look-alike. Wait, says the Internet, this crown can turn a person into mushrooms into Peach? Can he turn no matter who in fishing? What about, say, Bowser? Could there be a Bowser fishing?

Yes, the Internet reacted to itself, resoundingly, yes. And the fan artists have gone crazy, producing images of video game fans more vague than the ones I've ever seen. Bowsette is a huge meme, attracting queer people who find something very reliable and fun in changing gender and people who really liked The shape of the water. So, is Bowser sexy now? Definitely yes. Enjoy it. But maybe do not surf on Twitter with Mario fans while you're at work.

Recommendation of the week: Life is strange

The first episode of the second season of Life is strange abandoned this week, which means that now is the perfect time to experience the bittersweet original. As a result of Max, a teenage photographer who realizes that she can go back, and her best friend, Chloe, it's a thrilling and deeply moving queer tale, a little fun game. ;adventure. Things become surreal, sad and beautiful. And the soundtrack is superb.
