That game mentally scarred me. I hated nazis before and I really hated them after.

Guy looks kinda like he’s wearing a jacket with a gap at the waist. That would totally not work. You can’t have a gap that lets air out. The Apollo suits were one piece designs; two piece with a hard shell locking waist ring came later.

We’re talking nowadays about compression suits that are only inflated around the head and maybe some upper body. Those would help a lot with mobility, but nothing like that has been deployed yet.

I think you’re seeing one of the tubes, if you zoom in, the “jacket” look disappeared for me

I love the reboot franchise. So fascinating to see what the world would look like. The milkshake Nazi level is iconic. Scary and funny at the same time.

Per quanto riguarda l’armonia, la mia insegnante di basso mi ha consigliato “Capire l’Armonia Moderna” di Claudio Flaminio. A sua detta fa un buon lavoro nello spiegare concetti senza parlare troppo “musichese”. Io ho fatto sinora solo qualche pagina ma non ho incontrato particolari problemi

Petter1,

🤣 fair 🫶🏻

But, I guess, with gaming you don’t wait for so long either 😉

pycorax, do games w Why AC Syndicate Is So Bad?

I’m surprised you disliked Syndicate story yet adored Unity’s. Sure Syndicate’s story isn’t anything to write home about but I found it at least consistent and coherent. It’s a typical, evil mastermind needs to be taken down story. Is it amazing? Not really but it’s serviceable. Unity on the other hand, is… To be honest, I can’t even remember any parts of it other than Arno being a miserable prick for most of it.

Unity definitely had the much better gameplay though. Parkour, co-op, assassination missions and the beautiful rendition of Paris were all great.

I actually think Syndicate is one of my favorites, behind only black flag… I absolutely loved it. To me Unity was the boring one

This kind of proves OP’s point. That both games are very different. Which one you like of course depends on your taste.

True, I do dislike when gamers just unilaterally say “this game is bad”, because it’s such an opinion. Is it bad, or do you just not like it? Maybe other people do like it

DesolateMood,

Other people might like it, I like it myself, but Syndicate is objectively one of the lower quality games in the franchise

If you remain naked, you get different conversation options with most NPCs.

Until you start playing an MMO and turn it to a new job.

You ever actually spent most of your time just playing video games? It gets old real quick.

Yes, and it was a lot more fun that working.

Maybe you played shitty games?

Alk,
@Alk@sh.itjust.works avatar

I don’t know, I was unemployed for a while and literally spent every waking hour gaming for many months straight. It was the happiest time of my life. I’d give up a lot to be so financially stable I could do that again.

If you mix video games and diy projects it can be satisfying and fulfilling for years.

For me the social aspect is the hardest because i don’t make friends online and am bad at keeping in regular contact with my real life friends.

Robust_Mirror,

I substitute socialising with small streaming channels. Like the ones that have less than 5-10 people watching ever. You can come and go as you please and no one cares, and you can make real connections and have actual conversions with both the streamer and other viewers. People with channels that small aren’t doing it for the money, they’re doing it to have people to chill with while they play.

Some would say they aren’t real friends but I think there’s a point you can get to where I would disagree.

priapus,

I have a friend with a small stream and she definitely considers a lot of the people she’s met in chat friends.

priapus,

Having one thing be your only hobby will get boring for the majority of people, so just have some extra hobbies. I could definitely spend 75% of my time gaming and the rest on other hobbies and feel great.

I_am_10_squirrels,

During the lock downs I got furloughed for a week. I spent most of it playing Dwarf Fortress.

Everyone I know who retired is at least as busy as before.
The notion that without a job, people just sit around bored, is capitalist propaganda.

sibachian,
@sibachian@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s insane to me that people think they will somehow go braindead the minute they don’t have a job. Is that how they act once they get home after a long and exhausting day of labouring? Just sit down in the couch and die, staring at the white wallpaper until they collapse? From my only related experience with actually existing in this life, I fucking hate how I don’t have time for anything, ANYTHING, ever, because work work work, only to go home and work work work some more as an adult with actual responsibilities. Retirement ya, i might get a quarter of my shit in order, at best, but I’d probably just stock it with more responsibilities that I really don’t have time for, but a window of more time means a window of thinking about more shit that has been neglected or needs doing because things always do.

CancerMancer,

A decent amount of people really do just park their ass on the couch and cease existing. I’ve watched more than a few people retire and die shortly after from having nothing to live for.

teagrrl,
@teagrrl@lemmy.ml avatar

What tying your entire purpose in life to how much you can enrich capitalists does to a motherfucker.

CancerMancer,

No kidding. When your whole identity is how hard you work, what do you have left in life?

jpeps,

I noticed over covid that many people were telling me that they were happy to be working again after being furloughed (temporarily paused employment in the UK) because they’d been losing their minds with nothing to do. I couldn’t understand it, I was busy and really happy.

CancerMancer,

Here in Canada we had a similar system and I had friends on CERB for some time. Many of them didn’t know what to do with themselves. The ones who took it well were already accustomed to finding their own fun in the world, and did everything from DIY renovations to prototyping products they want to sell.

I wouldn’t know personally, I was working the whole time. Longest I’ve been off for was 3 months and I was more concerned with survival than keeping busy. But I’d like to think I have a lot of projects to work on. I’d love to move out of the suburbs into the country proper and have a workshop. Making custom furniture and electronics is so fun but I barely have time for it.

jpeps,

Thanks for sharing. You’re definitely right about the divide. I just found that I had so much time I could do everything I needed and wanted to do (granted, within the confines of social distancing at the time). Housework was joyful because I could do a good job of it, and have time for hobbies, and have time to relax from both. Aside from all the suffering and madness in the world at the time, it was a genuinely satisfying experience at home.

CancerMancer,

I had a kid and was working at the office 5 days a week during COVID so my experience wasn’t nearly as peaceful lol. But I could see how much some people thrived from it and I hate so much that our societies have taken that back from them.

jpeps,

Haha yes that’s fair! I am extremely grateful to not have had kids during that time.

LoamImprovement,

To be fair, that is exactly what I do some days after work because this shit is needlessly exhausting. I think I need like a year of sickly Victorian style bedrest because I have been so burned out for so long that I don’t really have much of a sense of self at this point.

Replace the wallpaper with a television and this is awfully familiar in my neighborhood.

AlexWIWA,

I somehow end up busier whenever I have long stretches of time off. Idle hands create hundreds of projects.
