Jeremie with an excellent piece on Endwalker a FFXIV expansion that was deeply resonant especially in the depths of COVID. When the world seems to spin out of control, I remember Venat's question. Not to flee from a terrifying reality, but to build wisdom through introspection, care, and curiosity.

Amoureux d'astronomie, je me suis senti chez moi quand j'ai compris que Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker s'en saisissait pour appuyer son propos. J'ai essayé d'écrire sur le sujet pendant quatre ans, sans y arriver... jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Ravi de publier enfin ce texte, que j'espère pertinent ❤️

Les leçons de l’astrophysique de fiction de Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker

"Le silence éternel de ces espaces infinis m’effraie." Par cette célèbre phrase de Blaise Pascal, on résume souvent l’étourdissement métaphysique que l’humain ressent devant l’immensité du cosmos. Pou...

update: i'm parting ways with my freelance news gig at game developer at the end of the month. helping the team since april 2025 has been a great experience and has taught me a lot if you're looking for an experienced b2b news writer, or just an experienced freelancer that can do it all, i'm around

working w/ ai translation is an actual waste of time. it will never translate in-game terminology properly, which means combing through all of the text two or three more times checking context and terms which already adds to expected crunch. and you can always tell when it's being used.
