Yeah, it is kinda sad. But Lemmy is small, so we get what we get.
Searching for communities for French, I see 2 or 3 that look OK (but pretty quiet). Then the more frustrating part is there's not a clear standout to try and breathe life into.
Higher level comms like this one offer a place at least. Learning languages share a good bit in common, even with totally different targets.
Like another comment mentioned, questions or topics that are specific to learning French are welcome here!
Why are they freezing?
When we go to the beach on vacation each year I always make a point to stop in the local bookshop. Selection and moreso price aren't great, but it's always so much fun just to look around.
Went the past week and picked up:
Well that's installing from disc but still using it to play the game, a precursor to the way it continued to work on future Xboxes (with the differences that install was optional on 360, and that on later Xboxes sometimes games required a download to even install).
This rumor would have to be a step further.
This is my favorite game ever. Enjoy the playthrough! Try to see it with young, wonder-filled eyes.
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
Shine On is so beaitiful. Then the middle songs, especially the title track, scratch that more catchy, accessible itch.
Years ago I looked into lucid dreaming and found that those communities have catalogged several actions that can act as "reality checks".
Generally in a dream, some things pretty consistently don't work right. Clocks/watches, mirrors, light switches. Check one of those and see if anything looks weird. If it makes no sense, probable that you're dreaming.
Try to remember the sequence of events that led to what you're doing now. In a dream, there wasn't anything before.
Or my personal favorite, plug your nose and then try to breathe through it. In a dream it will work.
There's quite a range of other methods out there too.
Already mentioned in OP, but a copy of Wikipedia would be first priority.
To say something else, I'd also grab the archive of GameFAQs guides.
English also welcome, as long as you're coming at it for language learning.

Good question from @Monster96@lemmy.world that came up on AskLemmy, thought it was appropriate to share here.
Was going to guess Evolution, didn't remember that there was a second one. That protagonists certainly looks familiar, tho I thought his arm was weirder.
My backlog gets daunting too. I'll get real motivated one week and add a bunch of cards, to then get busy another week and fall behind.
I just try to keep reminding myself the spaced-repetition system will work itself out.
