Fair point. XD

There are a fair few countries with amazing food, yeah. Italy, to start with, without even leaving Europe, and yeah, I'm a huge fan of India and much of China in that respect too, particularly Sichuan cuisine.

This thread was however about France specifically, and your comment reads like a fairly gauche non-sequitur.

Sorry to disappoint. :) France really has had fashy inclinations for a long time, if we're being honest. A lot more people were plenty happy to have the Germans over in the 40s than pop media created afterward tended to willingly show. For some reason.

The food genuinely is great though.

There's no such thing as a utopia but there are definitely some countries that have their shit more closely together than others. So don't lose hope!

A ticket tracker and a wiki!

Else all the institutional knowledge about your software that your users are adding too vanishes forever into a black box. And that'd be a dang pity

Alas, the same forces are at play in France too, they're just meeting a less favorable pre-existing terrain. But the billionaire-owned media have been carpet bombing the country with the message that holding the executive accountable is dictatorship, and Sarkozy is innocent and basically a saint, and this is all a conspiracy by the far-left judiciary, etc

And most people don't know better because knowing better takes exhausting amounts of paying attention, and little by little, the messaging is working.

Hey, it's okay, friend, not every game has to be for everyone and that's fine.

What worked for me, I guess, was to not approach it in terms of a game where I'm trying to make progress, so much as a vast place with a lot of mysteries that all actually make sense once you work it out; and that happens naturally if you let your curiosity drive you. You will, in fact, be making progress; you just won't realize it until the pieces fall into plane and, all at once, you know.

OUTER WILDS! If you've played it, you know why. (If you haven't, do not ask. Play it.)

Sandy updates never fail to spark joy. :)

Oh man, it sounds like I missed a whole thing. Do you perchance have a link?

EDIT: Ok, found it. A bunch of flat-earther influencers apparently travelled to Antarctica to prove that there is no midnight sun there (since its existence would contradict their belief), found that there is in fact a midnight sun in Antarctica, were then accused by other flat-earthers of having fakes the whole thing. Brilliant.

God I sure hope so. This is the only life I've got.

Only if you think someone's position on the spectrum never changes over time. Which, judging from the microsecond moment of pause induced in "straights" by the proximity of shirtless Jason Momoa, is not how this works.
