I live in France, and the term "camarade" is daily used in my union instead of the first name, or when you talk about several members of the union. It has no negative connotation, it's not used as a reversal of stigma.
It's also used in several left parties, but not all. It's quite common between people who primarily fight for the workers rights, but it's much less common between other progressive/leftist activists (feminists, climate activists, LGBTQIA+ rights activists..).
For me, it makes sense to use it this way, according to the context.
Salade nicoise : cold rice, tomatoes, cucumbers, olivs (green or black, but black ones give a weird color to the salad), mayonnaise. You can also add thuna, cubes of hard cheese..
Tabbouleh : bulgur, tomatoes, cucumber, oignon, mint, lemon juice, olive oil. You can also add chicken breast, chick peas, raisin, parsley, watermelon..
For these salades, there are tons of recipes. In my opinion, the most important is to have more vegetables than anything else.
I agree with you about a 3D Mario: it's absolutely not incompatible with the release of Wonder. Also, it would be a good candidate to showcase the graphics of the new console, without taking much risks.
Mario Kart/Splatoon/Smash bros. They need a multiplayer game.
For Mario Kart and Smash Bros, they have the same (fist world) problem: the switch versions have so much content that it's difficult to hit harder.
And it's not nice of me, but I feel like they wouldn't mind milking the Splatoon players.
Animal crossing. The license gained so much new fans with AC:NH, it would be suprising if they don't try to take advantage of this new popularity.
It's a common misconception that Monopoly is a hymn to capitalism.
Actually, it's a reimplantation of the Landlord's Game, which was designed to demonstrate the mechanics of wealth accumulation and its nasty consequences when almost everybody end in poverty.
Recently released Lakeburg Legacy. It's a small realm simulation: you build various workshops, allocate workers, gather resources, produce items to fill the need of the population.
And in the same time, each citizen had a love life, you can find them partners, chose talking subjects for their first date, decide if they should mary or not, some of them will break up after cheating on their partner..
It can be fun if done sparingly, for a few colorful recurring characters. But I've seen GMs do it systematically at RPG conventions, and I find it awkward.
What I find important is not making voices, it's interpreting the NPCs to give clues about their personality, their education, their state of mind and so forth.
As a player, I don't need every dwarf I meet to talk like in Lord of the Rings. But I do need to know if he's a friendly tavern-keeper, or a clan leader who commands respect.
Living with someone who has the same aspirations, the same pace of life, the same progressive ideas, but also mutually accepting and supporting our differences
I cooked with (non portable) induction stoves in various places, and I daily use one: all of them shared the same basic features and in the end, I couldn't see any difference between the models.
Just check the customer reviews for the reliability of the model you're interested in.
There are so much delicious recipes with leeks : leek and potato soup, leek chowder, leek pie (with or without salmon), leek fondue (works great with smoked sausages), cold leeks and vinaigrette. It can also be used in couscous..
If you have the chance to get a whole plant, use the green part for the soup/chowder for a stronget vegetal flavor and the white part for other recipes.
Xubuntu. Ubuntu because most of the time, I just want a plug and play experience with a huge community. And XFCE because it's lightweight and has all the tiling features I like.
I really enjoyed tinkering Arch, I learned a lot of stuff, but it's too much effort for my usual laziness.
Full support for the strike.
