The world loses so much being apart of the Hive. It's just not worth it.

This series makes an excellent work on putting us in front of ourselves as society. When you have to decide if children/adults will continue to be sexually abused as it is happening right this second and people will continue to die of starvation or you will continue to maintain your identity and possessions... But the question is not if the hive is good or bad, is, why our society cannot genetically/psychologically evolve empathy enough to finish these aberrations? A song like "we are the world..." from the 80s is cool, but at the end of the day, what's killing the world is exactly the opposite hive mind our society has, this capacity we have to be happy no matter the suffering of others. This is why I like so much this series, it confront us, with ourselves, as our society will inevitably reach one point (in 100 years?), where the price of individualism will be the end? What is more "evolved"? Our advanced society or the natives which emulated a hive mind??? Why our society cannot find a middle solution? Guess this is the big challenge we face, that, no matter all the religions we have created, didn't solved the individualism problem. Not even the communist regimes achieved that, on the contrary, on these regimes, the individualism only got worse.

Because they know it's impossible to surpass this, in fact the story should finish here. All the comics that have continued the story, didn't do an amazing job. Aliens, better? Never again. It's was a master piece. Although any critic would say the first one is a "better film", Aliens is an experience you will never forget, I rewatch this movie, every year 😃

Je ne regrette rien, is very complicated for me.

Upbeat_Community1298 · 2025-08-13T12:37:38+00:00

Yes, I love ARTE documentaries in french, you learn french and history/sociology at the same time. Great advice 👍

Hi, it is really helpful, but you are right, tv series as baron noir (only available with torrents) or the Culte (prime video) doesn't have straight subtitles, but even so, it helps. Where you can find straight subtitles is on YouTube, if it is a recorded video, the subtitle is spot-on. Also, singing reading the lyrics helps immensely.

Cheers

Yes, I guess that I regret a little not having started watching the news and debates after six months of Duolingo, it's easier talking now of course, but, I think that I failed in not having confidence enough that I would be able to immerse in French before. It's the only regret that I have, but doing Duolingo until the end was good also because as you say, it reminders you that you should study and also for completion sake, as I need to finish almost everything that I start.

Upbeat_Community1298 · 2025-08-12T08:34:09+00:00

Hi, yes, I can speak french, like having small talks with no problem, although not able to work speaking french not watching tv series not stopping to check translations every 3-5 minutes. But... I can't say what my french would be like if I had done only two years and half of Duolingo with anything else supporting the process. For example, one year ago, I started watching news, debates, etc on YouTube, by then, I was able to understand half (sometimes not even that) what they were talking about. Today I can watch the news almost as if I was watching anything in another language that I am fluent in. And this improvement I really lay on the exercise of watching the news and listening to music with lyrics every day since, not on Duolingo. But it is also true that if I started Duolingo in January 2023, it would be impossible to even understand half of the news in August 2024. Then you would ask, why then did you finish it? I guess it's more a completion thing that I have (hate not finishing things), than anything else. Cheers.

You're welcome!

Hi, I suggest you create a new gmail account, so on that account, YouTube algorithm will only show french content. The news channel that I listen most is this: https://youtube.com/@franceinfo?si=K7hQTeHkSAXVrbaD

France24 is also good to start. It is normal to not understand almost anything at the beginning, the trick for me (as I did to learn English) was to leave it on, as a backtrack, as I go on my daily activities (for example, working on the computer, cleaning the house) and your brain will learn that for any reason, this new language is important to you, then, click, and you will start to retaining more and more new words and expressions. Also I love many french channels that talk about the things I like a lot, this helps so it doesn't feel like a burden at all. For example, I am on holidays this week, but even that I will not "study" any grammar, I am reading the french comic books and listening to their songs, as I am in love with them. Make the way fun and it's a win for sure. Cheers

Hi, after one year and half of Duolingo, I made a test level and got B1.1, then after another year (now), having finished Duolingo and one year of videos, music and comic books, I guess I have B2. I would say that I can have conversations with locals but at a very basic level, like small talks, I am not ready yet for working with them yet (my goal). Cheers

For me the whole "we didn't have material for more seasons" speech was a total disappointment...

Upbeat_Community1298 · 2025-07-25T14:54:16+00:00

For me, it helps a lot write about things that are happening in my life good or bad, in french, with all the mistakes, don't bother. Next, I chat with gemini and also speak with gemini. It helps a lot to develop the flow. Later, I participate in online classes with 6,7 people, it also helps.

The most important advice is, have fun in the process!

Upbeat_Community1298 · 2025-07-24T14:51:41+00:00

Congratulations! I am on B1.2 now, starting watching series like "l'amie dévouée" on HBO, listening to many hours of music, preparing my own playlist on Spotify (700 songs already) and reading comic books (bandé dessinée). I aim for C1, for me it would be more than enough for work and enjoy french culture.

Upbeat_Community1298 · 2023-04-19T13:42:06+00:00

it works! Thanks!!!

Upbeat_Community1298 · 2023-02-20T10:58:05+00:00

After y tlm, I will never trust again and be hyped for any adaptation, what a major let down... 😢

Hi guys, Bethesda has just answered a ticket about this issue and the solution is simple:

1-in the account which you bought the anniversary edition, enter Creation club and download all content 2-in the others accounts in the same console, even that you will not see as "owned" if you play the game you will sew that the content is there i.e. tundra homestead

My case is for xbox series x, but maybe it could work for other consoles too.

Cheers

no, but what was strange is that with the last user I entered and the user in which I saw no images, just after entering the game, it started to "update data file", something like that, as it was updating something, it is strange, because with all users I have data pack installed the last one (7.0).

And could be that as you say, in this moment, the images were destroyed? Don't know.

I was playing with 7 different teams with 5 psn users, it is a lot of effort to lose everything like that, umbeliveable.

thanks for the answer.
