I recently finished Assassin’s Creed Unity and loved every minute of it. The story, the gameplay, the revolutionary Paris setting, the movement—everything was amazing. Even in 2025, Unity’s ultra settings look incredible, and I don’t think any other game has managed to handle crowds of NPCs as well as it did....
I dont think i even finished the tutorial for Syndicate, it was so bad. No human being is that fucking spongy and taking 20 something punches to the face, and like you said, why is an assassin punching people!?
Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. I went with a Out of Animus Screenshot to mix things up from the Usual Pirate Decor. i’ve gotten all the way to Sequence 12. I spent most of today doing Story Missions, so i’m going to be keeping the Screenshots a bit light so as to keep from spoiling it for anybody who might...
Happy new year guys!😀 Just now, it hit midnight here, and it’s officially 2025. I was playing Pennon and Battle, and I realized it’s the last game I played in 2024!! That gave it a different kind of meaning. Now I’m curious, what was the last game you played in 2024?
I enjoyed Origins, Odyssey just felt so… empty. I couldn’t bring myself to do the post-game content I was so bored with it. I got to the Medusa and juat… stopped. Have no desire to go back to it.
There was definitely more exploration but all the “dungeons” were just cookie cutter copy/paste sections from what I remember, Origins at least had some unique puzzles
I don’t think they care anymore. Their money makers are Azure and M365 at this point, and the OS is just getting ignored (except where they can make more money/data)
Windows store apps are their own special pain in the ass for other reasons (patching on multi-user systems, as it installs apps to the user profile for some godforsaken reason)
I dislike this trend of invisible UI. I’m (usually) on a 4k screen, I’ve got plenty of room for it, it’s not the early 2000s anymore; stop hiding the fuckin scroll bar or video progress bar
I get a poked fun at a little bit on mechanical keyboard communities for preferring a full-size (I gotta type IP’s, need a numpad!).
I don’t think I could work solely on a laptop without external peripherals, it’s just not a good experience (also giant hands and chiclet keys is not a good combo). My work laptop exists permanently folded closed connected to a dock.
I’d put the analogy as trying to cook a multi-course meal in a saucepan on a single burner vs a full stovetop and set of pans (also you only have a paring knife).
I tried a TKL and a numpad for a while, but it just wasn’t comfortable for me for some reason. Not a fan of layering, just doesn’t come to me naturally
Larger documents that I can drag the scroll bar to specific points, rather than PageUp/down or scroll manually (also wtf is up with acrobats scroll speed?? Shits slow as balls)
Spec Ops The Line has sadly been delisted and is no longer available for purchase. If you already got it, you’re fine, but the only way to get a copy now is 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
