  • Dude, same.

    As someone that has played all the games more for the combat than the story I was really disappointed by the newer ones.

    The combat felt so much clunkier and the movement in game was so heavy…?

    The whole time I’m just trying to get through it and the story just feels like a rehashed version of the last one.

    I’m glad other people liked it so much but I hated all the changes to the gameplay and just couldn’t get into it.


  • Flashbacks to when my daughter had just started walking and pressed the button on my Xbox while I was playing Assassin’s Creed 2, corrupting my save file at 90% completion.

    I was like “no no no no!!! Ahhh…awwwwwww….”

    Poor thing got so confused, I had to tell her it was alright but explain to her not to do that.

    Couldn’t really get mad at them, they literally didn’t know they shouldn’t do that thing yet, lol, but damn did I have to start all over!




  • So you can’t have a good character or story unless it’s centered around whether the character is a man or a woman?

    Where on Earth did you get that from my comment?

    You’re gonna lose your mind when you hear about aliens, robots and other non sexed characters.

    ….which often is attached to specific unique narrative concepts for those types of characters, since they too share a unique world view that is helpful or even necessary to set the background and future specific storyline.





  • “Aspects of Instagram exacerbate each other to create a perfect storm,” said one internal report, which said pressure to share only the best moments and to look perfect could pitch teenagers into depression, low self-esteem and eating disorders.

    “Issues like negative social comparison and anxiety exist in the world, so they’re going to exist on social media too,” Newton said. “That doesn’t change the fact that we take these findings seriously, and we set up a specific effort to respond to this research and change Instagram for the better.”

    Yes it’s true, looking at pictures of pretty people all day can make some people feel less pretty about themselves. Shocking, I know.

    Odd how you left out the part about them trying to use the study to make instagram better. Totally no bias on your part!

    Would you be more or less upset if they didn’t care to study it at all? Genuinely curious how you think them trying to understand their platform better makes you angry.
