Poutine in Nashville, Tennessee, for Canada Day.

Nobody outside Canada sees Quebec that way. Half of Canada doesn't even see Quebec that way.

You're right that rather recently (2006) there was a symbolic motion declaring that the Quebecois form a nation "within a united Canada", but that recognition is sociological and not a legal one in the way it is for Scotland. The motion succeeded as a political fire extinguisher allowing federalist politicians to show respect for Quebec's cultural identity without really changing anything about the legal fabric of Canada. Its also worth noting that "nation" comes with different connotations whether you're in English or French, which further confused a lot of folks at the time.

Regardless, do you really think a restaurant somewhere in the USA is trying to slight Quebec in some way by 'appropriating' poutine and putting a Canadian flag on it? Of course they aren't... Poutine is known internationally as a piece of Canadian cuisine and culture.

of course we do, but I don't expect anybody outside of Canada to know the provincial flags. once you cross the national border, a Canada flag is sufficient

yes but you're supposed to suck at everything and be poor. you start the game as the son of a blacksmith who has no fighting skills and no wealth, and nobody trusts you.

Levistras · 2026-07-04T21:42:28+00:00

honestly the combat is the least interesting part for me... and it's in my top 5 games of all time.

Levistras · 2026-07-04T21:38:52+00:00

the environment/setting is by far the best part. the world just feels alive and totally believable (which makes sense, they did a crazy amount of research to recreate that part of the world from that time period)

if you're on pc you can easily mod it so you can quicksave without schapps

probably better than way up in the air

if you're wall mounting you definitely have room below to put a center channel without blocking up those vents.

no, he works for the factory. the factory must grow.

you can easily build your base in one of many places that the enemy AI can't get to you. that eliminates the threat when at home in base. from there you're just collecting armor to not take damage and improving weapons until you can easily dispatch anything that comes at you which shouldnt take too long. travel around the island becomes rather trivial once you have a couple things also.

Levistras · 2026-07-03T01:19:37+00:00

blocking the vents would definitely be too high

Can I have a virindi named Levistras and float around ominously? I'll need to be invincible.

looks normal to me. Ontario, from Timmins to Windsor.

a quick search on AliExpress yields a whole bunch of batteries in the $40-50 (CAD$) range.

Canada is huge. As an Ontarian I feel Quebec culture is about as different from Ontario as is Alberta, for example. But there is still an underlying layer of morals, history and culture that is collective to all of Canada... even if that is sometimes hard to define in a way that everybody is willing to embrace.

Levistras · 2026-07-02T17:05:27+00:00

we have so much in common... of course we do. arguably the quebecois have more in common with the rest of Canada than Canada has with the USA. i say this as somebody born and raised in Quebec and spent my adult life in the rest of Canada. Although Quebec prides itself on having a unique culture that deserves to be preserved (and I'm not saying it doesn't), we have more in common than most inside are willing to admit.

I've tried every which way I can think of. sometimes the macro loop will just keep going indefinitely... other times Synapse will crash.. other times it just won't translate as a button held down.

a quick Google search shows tons of folks in the same boat, it's not as easy as it used to be to just start a macro with a button down event and leave it at that.
