This was my grandma. She married a Quebecois man who was ESL and raised his french kids from a previous marriage all while refusing to ever utter a single syllable in their language. You could ask her anything in french and she would clearly understand and respond in english. She spent sixty years living with and loving french speakers but she never slipped, not even a bonjour. She also refused to ever say why. We waited until my grandfather passed to bury her ashes because we were certain if we left her alone at the family plot in rural Quebec she would find a way to make us regret it.

Games@sh.itjust.works•When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game?English
5·2 months agoBaby Steps has made me laugh a lot this past month. But my last laugh in gaming was on saturday when I started the new Katamari game and the very first thing I made was given the title Miso Flavour Uranus.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Let's get real: What's your favourite Dinosaur? And why?

It sure is. I can’t resist collecting the really stupid ones. Here’s a better look

Yeah Lae’zel doesn’t attack or kill solely based on race. Every character in the game is racist to some extent, I have always drawn the line at violence. Lae’zel also grows a lot and tones down the rhetoric depending on how you play. If you have sex with her and expose the evils of the Gith queen, she clearly sees the error of her ways. Now I admit I haven’t tried this so maybe someone here can enlighten me, but it feels like the same wouldn’t be true if I started as a gith and tried to fuck Shadowheart.
I guess it just boils down to the fact that I strongly believe rascists who only talk hate can be redeemed and talked out of it, while violent ones usually can’t.
You have convinced me to give her a chance next time so thank you for that. Lae’zel will stay in her cage on my fifth playthrough this winter.
She can be fixed? I’ve never let her live very long. I’m always so annoyed by her bigotry by the time the choice comes up that I happily let her die and have Withers make me a better cleric if I need it. I guess next playthrough I’ll leave Lae’zel in her cage so I can give Shadowheart a fair chance.

I just want to point out that for many of us, sex ends up kinda scheduled anyway. When my wife and I started dating, we were both against scheduled sex and kept things organic. Now that we’re 40 and work 40 hours a week, fridays and sundays are generally the only days we have enough time and energy to do it. It isn’t exactly scheduled, but functionally I see no difference. The only times we’ve deviated from that in the last few years is when we’re on vacation.
