  • I can agree with all that. I still defend Odyssey because it grew on me. Once I looked at it as an odyssey it clicked for me. From the moment Odysseus leaves Ithaca to fight in the Trojan war until he gets back everything he does is on an epic scale, so epic it all starts looking mundane when compared to each other. That’s the problem with the game, it’s so vast and huge it just loses meaning of itself within its own glory and majesty. Ubisoft really captured that spirit for me.

    My school teachers would be so proud that asking me to read the Iliad and the Odyssey finally paid off. Growing an appreciation for video games was probably not what they had in mind.

  • I’m playing Unity right now and I’m about to switch to something else. I really like Unity, it is also the biggest collect-a-thon since ACIII. Referring to my earlier point, the maps for the collections are largely locked behind additional purchases.

    I had the same complaint about Syndicate, really felt like you were hacking away for way too long on even basic enemies. And again locked behind mtx was basic gameplay balancing.

    Origins was great because although it had largely the same mtx issues the new mechanics allowed you to work around them. Odyssey then rolls around and undoes much of the changes Origins made in that regard. It’s an obvious pattern of using questionable design to boost margins.

  • You joke but I would totally come back to CoD if they went 3rd person. Haven’t played since 2011 MW3

  • Couldn’t agree more, currently rotating between Unity, Syndicate, Origins and Odyssey and the difference between the first two and the last two is massive. By the time you reach Odyssey it truly stopped feeling like an AC game. Still really like Origins though, vaguely felt true to the spirit of the rest of the series while introducing really nuanced and interesting changes.

    My biggest complaint for all of them is how mtx is interwoven with in-game progression. Played them all on PS4 and they felt like a real slog to get through. Now on PC where I indulged and unlocked those features for free they feel accurately balanced. That’s the real problem with Ubi’s games. At some point features are hacked out to be monetized and squeeze out some extra dollars.

    Not to mention how predatory the helix credit system is/was, haven’t played Valhalla nor Mirage.

  • Take my advice with a grain of salt, I have a very polarizing style or so I’ve been told but fuck the haters.

    If you are able to get two, something you feel cute in and something you feel conservative/comfortable in. There’s no shame in getting to where you are going and feeling over exposed and having the option to change into something with a little more shielding so to speak is a life saver. Conversely you might not have been feeling that confident when you left but once you arrive you get that surge and you have the option of feeling cuter, options are never a bad a thing. A cover up is amazing, either a waist down or shoulders down are great to have.

    Plan on getting your hair wet if you’re going in the water, unless you get a swimming cap but they aren’t very flattering. As for how to manage it, the tightest bun you know and like. Tightest at the top of your head (the crown) and looser as your work your way to the base (the nape). There’s great tutorials on YouTube but I’m on a very stringent boycott so someone else will have input on that.

  • If you are able to go with someone else there is safety in numbers. Not just from the general public but from your own mind. Buying a swimsuit can easily overwhelm your sense of self worth so having someone who is championing for you is invaluable.

    As for style, whatever you feel cute in. Nothing looks better than confidence in what you’re wearing.

  • The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed.

  • Body piercings and tattoos also H O T

  • People get upset if you part your hair wrong. Forgetting a name hasn’t gotten me killed yet but stranger things have happened.

    I can remember someone’s name after one meeting but when I can’t it makes me feel awkward. I feel less awkward when 9 times out of 10 they forgot meeting me the first time.

  • Mm-mm bears and otters. Delish.

  • Hot. Also depends on the body shape, it’s like a welcome sign down to a good time if he’s cut nice. A happy trail (hair that leads from the bellybutton to ~navel~ pubic region.) on a dad bod also fits the aesthetic.

  • Just want to be mad at something I guess.

  • Common sense is way too much for people. I too think it’s likely for someone to have placed it incorrectly so that a glance they would know if they had already accessed what was inside.

  • French press is covered pretty well by everyone else so I’m here to offer an alternative. Have you considered a moka pot? Cheap, intuitive and offers bold flavor. Thing is you could take your regular coffee prepare it 3 different ways and end up with distinct flavor profiles. It all boils down to what you are looking for when drinking coffee.

    Quick rundown on cold brew, soak your grounds over night, filter, add cream, milk and other flavorings and you have coffeehouse cold drink on demand.

  • Take it and spread it hopefully further than just the fediverse. Or make your own and pass along the good word

  • If I had a nickel for every time someone unwittingly became the face of something humorous we can all relate to, well I’d at least have a nickel more than what this job presumably paid her.

    Good springboards today. Lemmy is starting to feel more alive don’t you think?

    In all seriousness thank you for taking the time for a moral obligation. All things should be tempered and while humor is a great tool to distort the truth it should never completely obstruct it.

    At the very least, here’s to trying to draw attention to your comment.

  • I was being pithy for entertainment purposes, mostly my own. I apologize if I offended or created a misunderstanding.

  • You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.

  • Strike 2 and 3, those are beyond your control. Don’t even bother engaging trolls even to diffuse them, they’re only interested in popping off. 1, 4 and 6 seem decent. Also remember to just keep in keeping on, some folk just want to cause mayhem and discord.
