Definitely true of politicians here in Nova Scotia as well. Its shameful.

Meta couldn't even figure out how to make a proper VR game.

If you want something more modern, but that still feels very classic, try Sea of Stars. It gives off major chrono trigger energy from my play through so far.

I dont disagree, I couldn't get into Victoria either. That said, crusader kings 3 is becoming a truly incredible game - to my embarrassment, I have 2500 hours to support that opinion. And from what I hear, Stellaris is fantastic as well. I bet they have some of the Stellaris team on board for this trek project, since they seem quite similar from what's been shown so far.

I can understand that, fair enough. But hey, why not lead the charge? Make the communities and start those niche discussions!

Yuck

Who cares? I'm here, you're all here, and for now the content I see is pretty good quality compared to alternatives. I'm of the mindset that too many users can be just as bad for a site like lemmy as too few.

French being in decline is apparently not as straightforward as that.

Likewise, neither is the ability to access services. Even if service in your language is technically available according to the constitution, the quality and equality of these services arguably suffers for anyone who is not a french quebecer (see the healthcare, court and justice sections). Anecdotally, I had trouble accessing many government services in English even before bill 96. Ive been hung up on several times when asking for service in English, even when it was offered to me in a menu or whatever. Luckily I'm okay at French so I got by. Someone from a country that speaks a language which doesnt resemble French whatsoever may struggle. Or someone with a disability like Autism as cited in the gazette article above. Especially with only 6 months to learn a new language, which is just not a long enough time in many cases. Overall I agree that its reasonable to expect most people to learn french if they intend to stay in quebec long term.

The bill 21 debate is tough, because im not religious or French. I'm against the bill on a personal level, but dont feel I can really argue from that view alone. However, the bill does seem to impact non-christian faiths more negatively.

The political logo argument probably doesnt get many answers because its a pretty poor comparison in my opinion. I dont have to be religious to know that someone's faith is more integral to who they are as a person, their identity, than any political affiliation in most cases. So long as that sort of expression isn't hurting anyone in Quebec directly (religious violence, etc. specifically) I dont see what right Quebec politicians have to interfere with that.

I'm an outsider, so apologies if this is an ignorant question. But didn't the Gaelic culture appear in Scotland because of settlement from what is now Ireland? Wouldn't the indigenous language of Scotland be some form of Brittonic, spoken by the Picts for example?

I think the racist label has more to do with the way french Quebec leaders go about supposedly protecting their culture. Limiting religious expression (Bill 21), no longer allowing anglos to access essential services in English, mandating that new immigrants become fluid in french within 6 months I believe? The idea that Quebec has language police has been a running joke for years.

They can claim these steps are taken to protect Quebec culture, but they seem pretty targeted to me. Anyway, I'm anglo and was born and raised in Quebec, so am I just not part of the culture?

I am far too poor for this timeline.

This is great news, would love an excuse to play again. Best ARPG ive played maybe.

Careful you dont cut yourself on that edge.

Thanks for the great work.

Hear hear. If you make the mistake of subscribing to Adobe canceling is like pulling teeth. Can't stand them as a company.

And so begins the enshittification of a once great service.

Might do an IRL sexual partner who enjoys foreplay a favour though. I dont know that reprogramming our brains to only react to hardcore scenes is doing ourselves a favour either.
