  • The challenge side quests. I could not pursue them in full. Not that the speed runs didn’t have enjoyment, it was just too much. And the brother was both irrational and grating to deal with for that long.

    The Mirage info is simultaneously reassuring and infuriating. The latter for money reasons given probable content expectations after Odyssey and Valhalla.

    Loved Odyssey and Origins was quite good. Valhalla was too long, too much. Granted I’ve never been into the Thor/Odin pantheon like some people, Tom Middleton’s Loki being the exception. The sheer amount of game (completionist) made me not want to engage Mirage or Shadows.

    Aside from that general opinion, AC games are usually spot on for people who can only ingest 2hrs at a time, like it’s their daily or bi-daily TV binge allotment.









  • I’m chuckling a bit (in a negative way) at the abject perversion of this mentality, because of course this happened.

    Isn’t this how we think of all pollution? Global warming? We don’t have to worry about this today, so we won’t. Maybe some nebulous, nonexistent white knight of a someone will figure it out before its an immediate problem…








  • This play, yelling a Zelensky, with the Vice-Dachshund yapping alongside him is all a perception management game to garner base support for a thing they intended to do anyway.

    It’s working too. Republicans do this loyalty thing where they all stand in a straight line and repeat the mantras Shapiro and company tell them to while DEMs don’t even like one another and constantly argue and gate keep in house as to what liberal means while rolling over and doing nothing effective. Though not in unity, never that.

    Memes are even rounding now labeling Zelensky a dangerous dictator. The narrative is: Z attacked innocent Russians living in Ukraine thus inciting the Russian attack, to defend them, thus bringing the Russian invasion in on himself. Pure bullshit, but it’s being repeated, and it’s sticking, in party.

    Again, perception management that doubles in laying groundwork for the second item. Trump WANTS to play with the biggest war chest on the planet, like he played in the cab of the construction vehicle on live television. Last go he was surrounded by people who said no or nodded yes while doing nothing. This go, we are all in serious trouble. War makes money, especially for President Elon Musk, so I will be surprised if it’s not already being planned.

    It’s all a game. Drama. Zelensky didn’t need to cross the globe for a conversation, only to be there on the stage as planned for the drama. Don’t believe him. DONT believe him when he says Zelenskys behavior at the meeting lost him his funding. Ukraine was already dropped, this was just a dramatization for effect.

    And the wobbly creation of a potential patsy when Trump starts WW3.
