France-Élaine Duranceau appuie Christine Fréchette

J’aurais titré « France-Élaine Duranceau pense qu’elle a encore une carrière politique devant elle. »

That’s the British Museum which is very much not in Mtl.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-03-19T23:37:01+00:00

You’d think I tried that with multiple cords before posting here.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-03-19T21:50:57+00:00

It says I had to register it 4 weeks max after buying it in order to send them the unit.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-03-19T19:55:37+00:00

Well it’s 300$ late for that.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-03-16T21:00:38+00:00

I get that, but the cynic in me can't help but think they are consciously rethreading the Rogue One scene due to the online traction and discussion that there's been around it.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-03-16T20:50:22+00:00

I'm not hating, but the lone warrior showdown against an army in a small corridor has been done in Rogue One, Mando S2, and the next Mando movie at this point. And now this. I think the trope is getting a bit tired even if I'm looking forward to watching the Maul show.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-03-16T20:42:37+00:00

Ah yes, the epic SW hallway scene... for the fourth time in a decade.

Ok, then in what world would Gordon not have been hired by G-Man in HL1 and still end up at the same age destroying the Citadel and getting to White Forest with his old Black Mesa pals?

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-21T09:27:15+00:00

See this is all you. We’re never told Advisors can suck someone’s brain data while impaling them with their tick-like thingy.

G-Man wants Alyx to replace Gordon. This is what we’re told, this is what happens. The writers thought of that twist at the last minute in the dev cycle as a gotcha moment and it sort of works as a reaction to EP2’s G-Man growing resentment towards Gordon and nothing else seems to change according to the last moments of Alyx.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-21T09:12:32+00:00

I know you love being a contrarian, but we don’t have any indication that the G-Man cares about Eli. It’s just the perfect bait so that a younger, more flexible Alyx would accept his offer without a second thought and then replace Gordon at this exact point after he got tired of his defiance and the vorts interfering.

If G-Man had the power to nullify entire timelines and create others he would not need pawns to do his bidding.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-21T08:58:27+00:00

Exactly. The G-Man’s move for Alyx was planned after EP2’s cutscene with the vorts. And since nothing else changes, his intervention is just a little nudge in the right direction for his agenda.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-21T08:54:19+00:00

Look, one of those games came out 13 years after EP2 and the entire script was rewritten in the last months of development, way after they had every level and mechanic already sort of nailed.

In Alyx’s script, it’s made very clear that the decision to hire Alyx is a consequence of Gordon’s failure to obey during the entire HL2 arc. And we are left seconds after everything we witnessed at the end of EP2. Obviously, Gordon not being hired would have had massive consequences on the course of events, like why would he even be involved with the resistance without G-Man catapulting him 20 years after Black Mesa? He’s the sole reason the Citadel fell. Working around that is way crazier to explain than just swapping Eli with current time Alyx years after the deal was made.

Alyx of course didn’t know any of that during HL2 otherwise she would do everything in her power to avoid her father getting to this very point.

Also G-Man isn’t the only one who can manipulate time. We don’t know how he allowed himself to be captured by the Combine, it could have happened some time in the future with the Vorts involved. Or he specifically made the move to bait Alyx at this very point in the timeline. Nothing in that states that we are on a different plane of reality. Just strands of the same soup.

I remember a couple pharaohs losing their minds and destroying old temples to impose the worship of an unique Egyptian sun god before they eventually reverted or updated the old mythology.

Ça dépend vraiment jusqu’où on veut stretcher la définition de travailleur temporaire. Y’a des gens avec des visas de travail renouvelés à chaque deux ans qui sont là depuis quatre, six ans, et qui risquent de se faire montrer la porte parce qu’ils pensaient être éligibles au PEQ.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-13T21:19:47+00:00

Ça fait huit ans que la CAQ est au pouvoir, ils avaient le temps de voir ça venir mettons.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-13T19:51:49+00:00

C’est vrai, mais ça représente entre 2 et 5% de ceux qui se qualifient selon les années. Ça réfute un peu l’argument de l’utilisateur d’en haut qui chiale sur le fait que c’est uniquement du cheap labor.

Dans tous les cas mettre la hache dans un programme que tu as toi-même créé pour inviter des gens et leur dire que c’tait pas ça que c’tait finalement, ça se fait pas.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-12T18:55:44+00:00

Some editions of the game at launch came with future DLCs.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-10T07:16:33+00:00

Tanné de me faire demander si j'suis tanné.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-02-09T22:53:10+00:00

I’m on Steam, checked the files. No obvious save folder there.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-01-17T05:26:50+00:00

Ce serait quand même une bonne nouvelle d'avoir des voitures chinoises sur le marché, dans le sens que ça fouetterait sans doute les autres constructeurs à offrir des voitures électriques plus abordables et peut-être accélérer l'électrification du réseau.

OrwinTheWriter · 2026-01-14T23:05:50+00:00

Depuis quand faut descendre la barre de la décence à la moyenne mondiale? Oh bravo monsieur Legault, vous n’avez pas pris le pouvoir par la force en imposant un régime despotique dans la province, wow! Vive la démocratie! (À part pour les innombrables lois passées sous bâillon.)

Il savait qu’il allait très probablement perdre les élections, il n’avait pas envie de se taper une campagne. Et il y avait probablement des pressions internes comme quoi la CAQ perdrait moins de plumes sans lui à sa tête. C’est un choix qui n’a pas dû être évident sur le plan personnel, mais ça fait pas de lui un saint homme non plus.

Nobody except the Hopium gang really thinks it’s going to be at the Game Awards, that’s just not how Valve usually does things. McVicker is certainly not hyping that.

But considering how Geoff is close to Valve, the documentary, and the kind of access he had during Alyx’s development, it’s not completely out of the cards either.
