Replaying AC Odyssey as Alexios. It's weird to see angry Kassandra.

So far I've been disappointed in dialogue and interactions with NPCs, even in the main story, where I expected things to change between the two characters, but the dialogue has been mostly all the same.

But hey, I get really fun, ancient Greece ship combat. 10/10 recommend the game just for that.

Edit: Also playing through Hades for the first time since purchasing it. I love how Supergiant put their own spin on all the Gods and Demi-Gods while keeping them mostly true to their depictions in Greek myth.

Now let's all pretend that MS and Phil aren't buying up publishers to have another monopoly full of Xbox/PC exclusives. Tbf though, I think Sony started this whole exclusives thing and really pushed hard for it. They do, however, seem to be relenting now by publishing their games to steam.

That's some nice hot leaf juice you've got there.

Here I am wishing I still lived with my mother. I've had nothing but problems since moving out on my own. Hopefully things get better some day.

Ah yes. Promotional ships that sell for $1000s of dollars irl that are only available in limited runs that you get to keep when the game launches into stable release.

Oops, forgot to mention that some of these ships might not ever be available outside of alpha besides for those that already own them. That means new players in stable will encounter ships they'll never be able to own.

Most of my friends that play it say it's a fair trade since you're paying so much for them, but it still feels largely like a scam to me. You could do so such much better for yourself with that kind of money than just owning a digital asset.

Oh and those ships? They're not tradeable to other players afaik.

Edit: This isn't really fine at all and is in fact a P2W mechanic inside a game you already have to pay for up front.

They got the same vibe going on as the 7 days to die devs.

He's also the creator of JavaScript if that irks you any more.

Are we referring to the right to exist in ancestral lands where largely, the only claim to such lands are a millennias old religious text? The current occupants of said land have actual, clear historical precedence rooted in fact to occupy said land.

Also, as others have pointed out, I think it's pretty clear that Israel could exist anywhere. The concept of a nation is largely driven by the shared collective of human experiences, culture, norms, and beliefs of the people that inhabit said Nation, not geographical boundaries.

That's probably not something they'd be willing to share with you until you're hired, similar to salary I'm guessing.

If the rumors regarding the performance for the sequel are true, they won't even have a working game on launch.

That was actually a Microsoft/Phil Spencer decision. If the man gets his way, a lot more studios could fall into The Xbox Exclusive club.

Honestly, I wish exclusives between the consoles would go away, they do more harm to the industry than good.

Huh, I always thought that the creation engine was something they built from scratch. No wonder it has all the same problems.
