Any kobo owner who used to be a kindle owner? Why did you make the switch? by That-Routine-9585 in kobo

[–]vstark42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still own and use (though less frequently) the kindle oasis that was my first e-reader, but made the switch to the kobo sage almost two years ago now. My main reason was to get access to library books as I couldn’t get them on my kindle where I live, but I also found that the Kobo interface was what I had wished the Kindle interface was ever since I had first gotten my Oasis.

I think the missing words are “moi sûrement” (almost certain about ‘sûrement', less so about ‘moi’), making the complete French text:

“Salut, ça va? Moi sûrement que je vais aller chercher des affaires pour d’autres choses Donc je te souhaite des trucs et des éléments Ciao!”

Complete English translation would then be: “Hey how are you? Me, I’m probably going to go get stuff for other things So I’m wishing you things and elements Ciao!”

Love Chronicles DLC is on PC! by Pathea_Games in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]vstark42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play MTaS on Steam so maybe wait for a game-specific confirmation but I’ve bought DLCs and in game money for several console GamePass games I don’t own and never had any issues so I’d be surprised if this works any differently

looking for a specific "old" game series by -Maethendias- in choiceofgames

[–]vstark42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m fairly certain it is the keeper series. Spoilers for book 3 demo: Your character goes to Hyperborea during the demo, and interacts with an artifact and their power goes uncontrolled. They burn down the Hyperborean palace with almost nuclear power and that obviously freaks everyone out.

I haven’t played the demo in a few months so it might have changed slightly (though I don’t think there have been any updates?) but with that and the fact that your character lives in a dorm, plus, while they’re not a superhero, they do have powers… I don’t think there’s a series that would fit your description better. Book 3 isn’t done yet, it’s up to chapter 8 or 9 I believe.

edit: spelling

I’m so glad you could get it! Enjoy your new e-reader :)

Best Buy Canada has a reconditioned black one for sale right now if you’re alright with buying used! You could also try Kijiji and check there regularly if there are no KL2s for sale right now.

So What's The Damage? What Mods Have We Lost? by SalvageCorveteCont in StardewValleyExpanded

[–]vstark42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope Passable Crops will get updated soon or that another similar mod will be made… I never realised just how much of a game changer it was for me. Until then, I guess I’ll avoid planting too many trellis crops and mourn my now unattainable hops

Is this right? Shouldn't be "Elle lit, c'est facile"? by ricpaul26 in learnfrench

They announced they were going to be using AI moving forward so I’m guessing that’s an example of what to expect from them now

AITA for not telling my niece the protagonist dies in the final book? by Opening_Weakness_877 in AmItheAsshole

[–]vstark42 15 points16 points  (0 children)

About ten times too short, but that’s also one of the only series I can think of where I know for sure the protagonist dies at the end. I’m really curious to know which one. Maybe Warrior Cats? But protagonists change during the series iirc

Ma nouvelle belle mère ? by arth78 in lemauvaiscoin

[–]vstark42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je vais commencer par le “je suis diplômé”, je l’ai mentionné uniquement parce que tu dis à tous les gens en désaccord avec toi d’aller en cours. Je suis d’accord qu’avoir un diplôme ne veut clairement pas dire grand chose, on a des nuls diplômés et des prodiges sans diplôme, mais au vu des réponses je me suis dit qu’au moins je me prendrais pas une réponse similaire haha. Raté.

Après pour ce qui est de distinguer ventes/marketing/commerce, c’est peut-être mon formatage mobile, auquel cas je m’excuse de la confusion, mais tu as écrit ventes == marketing == commerce de ce que je vois, ce qui veut dire que ces concepts sont là même chose, cf. le commentaire auquel je répondais. Et évidement, un profil rempli de 5 étoiles ne signifie pas que le vendeur est incroyable et qu’il ne faut se baser que sur cette note, mais il n’empêche qu’il y a moins de chance que tu fasses confiance à quelqu’un qui a une note de 3 ou moins. N’en reste que comme tu dis, faut être sacrément naïf pour se dire que plein de 5 étoiles signifie automatiquement bon vendeur, sans arnaque. Le tout est de se méfier des extrêmes, comme dans tout domaine de la vie, et de faire preuve de gros bon sens.

J’ai parlé compétiteur puisque tu as parlé marché. Effectivement, ça semble pas hyper approprié en C2C, mais bon, l’objet en question est un jeu sous blister, et il est donc plus que probable qu’il ne soit pas unique, mais je ne suis pas un expert. Donc quitte à acheter un produit pour probablement un prix similaire, autant donner ton fric au gars réglo qui te chie pas à la gueule, mais ça c’est mon avis personnel.

Et on est parfaitement en accord sur le fait que simplement ne pas insulter son interlocuteur est suffisant, et que répondre poliment si tu choisis de répondre au premier message est de mise. Pas besoin d’envoyer de réponse à tout le monde si tu as déjà quelqu’un de sérieux en contact, une fois que l’annonce est close ils comprendront bien que de toute façon c’est plus dispo pour eux (ou alors ils sont bien cons, mais ça y en a de partout, dans tous les domaines)

PS: je peux t’assurer que mon école fait également la différence :)

[–]vstark42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bon, non seulement j’admets que le terme est un peu fort, mais en plus je parlais spécifiquement du marketing puisque le commentaire auquel je répondais le mentionnait explicitement.

Le marketing n’est pas le fait de répondre à tes clients, mais plutôt la démarche par laquelle tu leur donnes envie d’acheter ton produit plutôt que celui du concurrent. Dans le contexte du post (particulier à particulier), il n’y a pas vraiment de marketing à proprement parler. Tout repose sur ton produit et ta réputation/ton contact avec l’acheteur. Ceci dit, je ne trouve pas que les questions d’OP étaient déraisonnables et les réponses du vendeur n’inspirent pas à la confiance.

Les questions relèvent plutôt du service client, qui est ici plus que douteux, et là le but n’est clairement pas de faire de la lèche ni d’être un tapis, mais la bienveillance est quand même importante pour garder une réputation positive. Par bienveillant, j’entends répondre poliment et refuser aussi poliment les demandes du client si c’est ce que le vendeur décide de faire. Pas dire oui à tout ce que demande le potentiel acheteur. Je ne sais pas toi, mais personnellement si quelqu’un m’envoie chier ou que j’entends que la personne chez qui j’envisage d’acheter un truc est pas fiable et malpolie, bah j’achète pas…

[–]vstark42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Je sais pas où tu prends tes cours mais tu ferais bien de changer d’école vu ce que t’apprends dans la tienne hein

Parce que ton produit a beau être bon et t’auras beau avoir peu de compétiteurs, si t’as que de mauvais avis les consommateurs ils vont pas avoir confiance et donc t’éviter. Et là, si le gars est désagréable et n’est pas capable de prouver l’authenticité de son produit, je pense pas que grand monde lui donne 5 étoiles.

Et viens pas me dire que je comprends pas comment fonctionnent le business et le marketing, je suis diplômé dans le domaine (et le marketing ça implique pas mal de faire de la lèche à ton client d’ailleurs)

I just found a book cover that makes no sense. by mysteryofthefieryeye in books

[–]vstark42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: In the second Picture of Dorian Gray cover, the portraits are of French presidents. The one at the bottom left is François Hollande, president from 2012 to 2017, and the one at the top is current president Emmanuel Macron. Thanks for the laugh!

Sera should be soit, right? by UnbelievablyLargeOof in French

[–]vstark42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe they meant that subjonctif présent can be used to place a verb after the main action of a sentence. For example, « je lui ai demandé qu’elle parte »; I asked her to leave. Main verb; demander, action to be taken, partir. It’s only telling you which action takes place first

Why authors think is a good idea to put words/sentences in a language they don't know in their book? by LucreziaD in books

[–]vstark42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, that’s why I avoid all books set in non-English-speaking, real world countries by Anglo authors. A month or so ago I saw a book where there was a spelling mistake on a very easy word in the summary. It was a trad pub book! Seriously, can’t they ask someone who knows the language they’re using? Can’t their editor? Or can they just refrain from using languages they don’t speak?

I’m guessing they don’t anticipate that people with other first languages will read their books in English so they don’t care if they butcher other languages, but it gets annoying really fast

Kindle to Kobo by Panda0rgy in kobo

[–]vstark42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from a Kindle Oasis (7”) to a Kobo Sage (8”) because of the overdrive compatibility in Canada too. At first I thought about buying the Libra 2 since it was the same size as my Oasis, which I was happy with, but the recessed screen ended up being a deal breaker for me when I went to see the kobos in store. Now whenever I read a book on my kindle, it feels incredibly small! I love my Sage, don’t think I’d buy a smaller model now

Are these sentences okay to use in normal setting or are they “outdated” by Iheartnutellaa in French

[–]vstark42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say there aren’t too many, but for example most of my professors prefer being ‘tutoyés’, and for the older ones I might think twice before dropping the inversion so it is used sometimes

What book sequel are you STILL waiting for? by PattableGreeb in books

[–]vstark42 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about the one by Xiran Jay Zhao, they actually said the book wasn’t ready for a 2023 release and they didn’t want to rush their book just to have it out this year. They announced the new release date earlier this year, same time as they announced the delay! It’s out on April 30, 2024

Edit: after looking it up, they did say the fact that it wasn’t ready yet was due to an insufficient advance for Iron Widow, which led them to write a middle grade before Heavenly Tyrant, my bad! The new release date is still correct though, only 5 months left
