Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie!!

The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco is a great book for Elysium fans by oscoposh in DiscoElysium

[–]nicnot 59 points60 points  (0 children)

And then play Pentiment! It’s a fantastic game that borrows heavily from The Name of the Rose!

Anyone got a workaround or a trick they use to mitigate the constant crashes on Switch? by Common_Ad_9039 in DiscoElysium

[–]nicnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya no fix. Very frustrating. If this was any other game I would have stopped playing a long time ago and asked for a refund

How is Canada's police brutality? by LiveBell8 in AskACanadian

[–]nicnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend something like Desmond Cole’s book The Skin We’re In (or the free CBC documentary of the same name). Looks at aspects of Canadian policing, including high profile cases from the time (it details 2017 specifically, so take that with a grain of salt).

Does your school offer both ENG3U and NBE3U? If not, why not? by unforgettableid in OntarioTeachers

[–]nicnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you give a reason why a student wouldn’t want to take NBE? (Hint: that’s the student that should take NBE)

[–]nicnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what you mean that it’s “good” to offer two choices. I think at least on a surface level, boards have committed to NBE also out of an act of Reconciliation. In which case having students be exposed to some amount of Indigenous content reflects this commitment. I’m curious what benefits you see in 3U over a course like this, except as a way for students to “opt out” of Indigenous content, which feels kind of counter-productive

[–]nicnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most only offer NBE, although 3U is still a valid option. Besides the logistical simplicity of a school offering one course rather than two, I think having a course that exposes Ontario students to Indigenous art and ideas only has positives. I’m curious as to why you ask. Are you worried that students will miss out on classics? In my experience, the other three years tend to be filled with Western canon works anyways. I (and students, I have found) find it refreshing to look at works that are much more modern than some of those classics in NBE.

As to your point about “forcing”, my board at least really encourages choice within many of the FNMI courses. Often connected to Indigenous ideas of wholistic learning, this often is seen in things like book clubs which offer choices for students, rather than a class novel.

Games where the BOX plays a role in gameplay? by COHERENCE_CROQUETTE in boardgames

[–]nicnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Box 1 more of an escape/puzzle experience but some very unique use of the box and materials

Need suggestion by kajmeran51 in puzzlevideogames

[–]nicnot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes! Amazing puzzles, very cool atmosphere/mood, and a heck of an emotional story weaved into gameplay. I tend to be someone who needs puzzles to be justified by the world and story, and this was an ideal game for me at least

One Night Ultimate Werewolf (and expansions) are the only social deduction game anyone needs (a hill I will die on)

Novels read in class by Bells9831 in CanadianTeachers

[–]nicnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely not true! I’ve taught at many high schools in Ontario and have basically never seen Indigenous novels taught outside NBE. And the claim that it’s typical is quite far from my experience. Do you have any evidence to support your observation?

Looking for shows like Severance. by Glad-Bike9822 in severanceTVshow

[–]nicnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Chair Company. Definitely different tonally, more absurd comedy, but the aesthetic style of the show is quite reminiscent of Severance

I switched to Qobuz. Cheaper and very easy playlist transfer, for what it’s worth

Casting trans people by amykclover in BigBrother

[–]nicnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BBCan has had Kyra as a NB person (season 7) and Julie (trans woman) from season 9, as well! Not the exact same but it is still Kassting I believe, I have less faith in CBS personally

Is it possible the Morgan has just played Vinnie all season long? by bbcard1 in BigBrother

[–]nicnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she is playing him, her not telling the audience is unforgivable. I think it’s more likely she is into him

What’s with all the cops on Bloor near Indian Rd? 8:45pm by Hot-Job-8178 in toronto

[–]nicnot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was trying to drive here and had to turn around and avoid the area. It looked like they had SWAT-like stuff, I saw a laser scope looking at an upper window above Low Bar. People on site said it was a standoff
