    Quebec is not a sovereign country, it is a province of Canada therefore you are Canadian.

    This is not a difficult concept for anyone other than the Québécois.

    Like, for one, Quebec was officially recognized as a nation within a nation by the federal government.

    I'm struggling to find something good but Deathloop has nearly no redeeming qualities other than the protagonist and antagonist being cool

    it might be the worst game I've paid full price for since... fuck... duke nukem forever?

    This is the absolute opposite of what I've heard from my most trusted game recommender, tell me more.

    -Makes launch Cyberpunk 2077 look good by comparison, I have an overclocked ryzen 3600 with 32gb of ram and a 3070 - that wasn't cutting it so I borrowed my roommates rtx 3090/threadripper system and it still runs like dog shit (hard hiccups every 5 seconds)
    -The AI is incredibly inconsistent, on one hand, stealth isn't an option in the game because somebody's going to psychically pinpoint your location and beam the GPS coordinates to everyone else, on the other hand they will happily file one at a time through a doorway, it's okay though because ~~~
    -All the guns in the game are dogshit, don't feel good to use, and jam every 10th bullet, to prevent you from just gunning everyone down. Your guy also refuses to carry more than 2 magazines of ammunition
    -There is no reason to explore the map, the game leads to where you need to go and then you just do that, and move on. Exploring the map is pointless because *anything* you find, including super powers, goes away when you die
    -I can't see myself ever being able to beat this game - I was expecting something like Dead Rising with the loop, where I would level up during loops and I would somehow unlock things that I get to keep at the start, to make it easier each time - no such luck here. This game has an asinine system where you "send to safe house" upgrade thingies you find, that you can't use when you find them, and have to go back to home base and the use a loadout screen to equip, which advances time to go to, and you lose all this shit when the loop resets - so what's the point? Lol you really want me to explore the map to find an uncommon upgrade that reduces weapon recoil by 5% that I wont be able to use until the next 1/3rd of that day's loop and the will disappear after that, requiring me to spend 20 minutes of my life to walk back and pick it back up if I want it?
    -I was expecting metroidvaynia type deal maybe? Maybe it gets there? I'm guessing 5 hours into this game every loop will be "you must do these 47 actions IN EXACT ORDER AND WITHOUT MAKING ANY MISTAKES" before you can "start" your loop attempt, because otherwise you'll just be unupgraded asshole with no superpowers and a shitty light smg

    Seriously, skip it, just play dishonored and delete your save whenever you die, it will be more satisfying, because at least the enemy AI is fun to fight and your weapons work
    Once you get to the point where you can infuse gear, you keep it from loop to loop. This includes trinkets and slabs. By the end of the game, I wasn’t gaining anything from picking up loot because I already had optimal gear starting the loop. The “tutorial” is lengthy.

    Stealth is completely viable. I have done whole levels without being seen. But my load out revolves around stealth.

    All guns above the “white” rarity level don’t jam.

    The PC version stutters are apparently fixable. I saw some posts on Reddit for it. I played through on PS5, which is a smooth like buttah.

    EDIT: You aren’t “playing it wrong” or anything. It just takes a little bit to get to the “infusion” part of the game, and that’s when the “real” game starts.

    I mean I'm not very up on my Canadian history but iirc Quebec didn't exact want to be in Canada. But they weren't gonna fight a war over it when they got told "you're Canada now" and here we are.

    It's not really the same thing as like when Texas or northern California talk a big game about seceding.

    Well that's not true. There was a war that the French lost. And there were revolts that were bloodily quelled by the English government.

    To say the people of Quebec didn't fight to be recognized as a nation just isn't true.

    So glad I'm not the only one where 'dont tell mom / babysitter dead' scene is a regular in joke.

    It's such a weird movie when you consider it was targeted at the youth.

    Like is it Reaginite propaganda? "Young fuckup abandons circus of youth, excels and is rewarded based on merit in corporate America" or was it the only way they saw to write the movie once they established that the babysitter was very dead and they needed some dosh. Makes me think.

    you should finish the tutorial area of the game, you can keep stuff

    Also, I completely missed that you get a light SMG at the start of Deathloop, so I was harvesting my weapons from the first enemies that I saw, and thought “good thing I have a machete and grenades!”. :/ It was only after I completed most of the tutorial that I saw the LIMP-10 just sitting there. Whoops.

    I find the claims that stealth is viable suspect! I'll stealth kill an enemy and they will get yeeted like an artillery shell and then the game freezes for a second and every dude on the map lights up with alarm and makes a beeline for my exact position

    I wonder if this is related to the weird performance stuff

    Edit: maybe about 10%? of the time I kill an enemy with the machete, it decides to just not do the melee "glory kill animation" and they instantly whip around and shoot me in the face, alarming everyone in the area, who also instantaneously lock on and open fire, about 5% of the time I get locked in a melee animation and their corpse is fired away from me in a pile of broken ragdoll physics, alerting every enemy in that direction for the entire length of the map

    I seriously had a less janky experience with launch day Cyberpunk 2077

    Eventually, you get an ability that allows you to vanish corpses as you kill them while invisible. It’s stupidly powerful, and not even that hard to farm out (the game tells you how to get the Slab and the Upgrades in the Arsenal Notes section).

    Also, there are multiple silenced projectile weapons.

    Man, I'm real tempted by that Framework laptop.

    Seems like a cool project since I've never assembled a laptop, and having modular pieces you can swap in and out would be useful.

    Also, having a laptop that isn't garbage and takes 4-6 hours to run Windows Update, during which it is effectively unusable, would be nice.

    I'd buy one for the repairable philosophy and how nicely serviceable it is. I really like that aspect.

    The pop-in pop-out ports are kind of a gimmick and they could have included a better loadout of fixed ports if they had skipped that idea. Maybe going 50% on it would have worked better. Like 2 port modules and 1 bank of fixed ports.

    Man, I'm real tempted by that Framework laptop.

    Seems like a cool project since I've never assembled a laptop, and having modular pieces you can swap in and out would be useful.

    Also, having a laptop that isn't garbage and takes 4-6 hours to run Windows Update, during which it is effectively unusable, would be nice.

    I did find it odd the USB modules only have one port, instead of fitting two, but I imagine as time goes on and they have time to develop the product, we'll see wider arrays of modules available.

    Which is another nice thing - if a new feature comes out, you can just buy the feature and slot it in to your existing laptop, instead of waiting until you're ready to replace the entire thing.
