Quebec has its own language authority which I believe does have some coordination with the one in France. Quebecois French diverged from France hundreds of years ago though and so uses different phrases and words that sound weird to French people and vice versa.
Sometimes languages have sounds that are hard to pronounce in other languages.
Also sometimes we came up with a name for a place based on imperfect information and the name caught on and stuck before we learned there was a better name we could be using.
I work with French people who call me Jos instead of Joe. My girlfriend calls me 周 (Zhou) when we text each other. I’m fine with all of them as they all map to the same conceptual name.
My name isn’t how it’s spelled, it’s the concept of “Joe”. As long as they are calling me the thing that maps to that name, I’m happy. Their brain has its own mapping between language and concepts which is distinct from mine.
Lol, someone loves the taste of boots
Was he heavily involved in the film’s production? I’m not very familiar with how this movie was made, but a lot of the stuff I’ve heard about it gives me the sense that his style didn’t influence it very much (weird casting, lame jokes, etc.)
If you are sleeping so heavily that you sleep through your alarm every time, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep. Go to bed earlier.
15 minutes well spent
I’ve heard they may actually be the ancestor breed of corgis
I really wish the ttrpg.network munis were more consolidated in general. It seems like the ubiquity of lemmy.world has made it hard for other instances to carve out a niche
!osr@lemmy.world (Inactive, but I’d love to see this one get some new activity, I just started getting into more OSR stuff recently)
Yeah, you could make it the “traditional/tabletop games” thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan
No. But I’d comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread
Maybe broaden “video games” to just “games” to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don’t have a great bucket in the categories there.
Dead link for me
As a forever DM, this is pretty real. I try to always hear my players when they tell me they had fun and take it to heart.
You’re always your own worst critic.
If you were to walk this route along the surface of the earth, you would walk in perfectly straight lines apart from the three turns.
Moose do actually cow. They are incredibly scary and imposing.
The Anno games are notoriously hard to run on Linux. Protip: always check Protondb for Linux compatibility.
Also, if you find yourself missing Anno on Linux, check out Tropico or any number of city builders by Hooded Horse. There are lots of great resource production chain city builders out there that don’t force you to use Uplay
I just assume all creators of things I enjoy will eventually be proven to be sex pests. It makes it much easier to justify piracy morally to myself. (/j)
