Hey people. I think I've pretty much found everyone over at the other place, but just in case, I'm not really here anymore. Deleted it from my phone. I'm over there now. It's nice.

@MartinC75061658 @RadioCanadaInfo Non, le gouv a dit aux CSS de couper 570 millions, puis a "reculé" en disant, on vous redonne 540 millions que vous allez dépenser d'une certaine façon seulement, et on doit approuver l'utilisation. Faque non, pas annulé du tout.

This week, Alberta has enacted its radical forced outing law in every school of the province. This is Danielle Smith, Alberta's premier and chief transphobe, in the first frame.

@LeBlondModere @RadioCanadaInfo Ce que les chiffres veulent dire, c'est que la majorité de la congestion qu'on voit sur l'autoroute vient de gens qui vont de Lévis à ailleurs à Lévis. D'où l'importance de développer des alternatives de transport collectif dans Lévis, on parle pas de Lévis-Beauport.

Hey Twitter, what's that? Is that how the website is supposed to work?

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

@Blizzard_Ent, @BlizzardCS, I'm trying to get my account back (hadn't used it in years, tried to login, don't remember my password), but I'm stuck in ticket-loop hell on your website. Could I get assistance from an actual person?

Let me be real for a second. I'm watching this Dragon Age discourse, and it's like... I know women who have "top surgery scars" because they had fucking cancer. Cancer. Okay? These women are in my family. They have "top surgery scars" because the alternative is dying of cancer.

@AndrB58920863 Pis on va se ramasser avec des oligopoles comme en alimentation, ou des prix inabordables comme dans l'industrie du logement en ce moment.

C'est beau en théorie, mais en pratique, on sait que ça marche pas comme ça.

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

@AndrB58920863 Écoute, je suis d'accord que dans certains cas, l'État devrait pas gérer les programmes. Mais pour garantir qu'il y a pas de gonflement artificiel des coûts pour booster les profits de la haute direction sur le dos des citoyens, faudrait exiger de faire affaire avec des OBNL.

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

@AndrB58920863 @HackedYayonne11 Tu penses vraiment que payer le privé pour offrir les services va réduire la facture? Le privé facture déjà plus haut quand le gouv est le client vs leurs clients non-gouv, mais là ils feraient pu ça parce que? On dirait que t'as une vision utopique du capitalisme.

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

@AndrB58920863 @HackedYayonne11 Diminuer la taille de l'état et les impôts veut dire diminuer les services aux citoyens. Pis les partis politiques qui promettent des baisses d'impôts vont pas augmenter le financement communautaire qui est déjà déficient. Baisser les impôts va pas réduire la pauvreté par magie.

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

@AndrB58920863 @HackedYayonne11 C'est prouvé que les programmes universels sont plus efficients parce qu'on perd pas d'argent à évaluer et à classer qui est admissible et qui l'est pas, pis à analyser des demandes de gens non-admissibles dans des situations particulières qui croient qu'ils devraient l'être.

concord didn't fail bc of diversity or bc live service games are a dead end. instead, publishers are trying to use live service to paper over the unsustainability of their development practices. you can't solve unsustainability with more unsustainability

One thing I will say about the Alan Wake and Control universes coming to Film and TV is please, PLEASE just cast the original actors.

No one wants overpaid "star power" but the actors who have already brought these characters to life.

Give them the chance to expand it further.

I remember when a computer didn't automatically connect to the internet, it used to make a screaming noise. We should have listened.

[Wandersong 🌈🎶 @Wandersong_game]

chat is this relatable?

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

@max_oats I still get mad about that whenever I think about it. Firewatch was amazing and the teaser we got for "In the Valley of Gods" was great.

[Anisa Sanusi @studioanisa]

Happy 2 year anniversary to my favourite game that I worked on!!!

Please pirate it because none of us work at the company that owns this anymore 🥰

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

Like, on my first try on Garden Knight, I brought it down to half health, but I'm no challenge runner. I'll level up, I have the materials.

And I need to restock bombs too, so more grinding there.

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

Just started playing Tunic, and context clues tell me I should've found a shield by now. I have 4 healing pots, bombs, cards, and I find tips saying "use your shield to fight this enemy", while I've just been bombing them.

Dodge-rolling has its limits, I want the shield!

[Nicolas Gagné @FocusTradNicola]

I caught on late to how the "level-up" system (or how to become more powerful) worked.

Specifically, I had materials and gold and bought a 5th health pot for 1000 gold before catching on.

Now I have to grind for levels.
