Assassin's Creed Odyssey for me.
First one I'd played since 3 and sold on the Greek theme.
Then got through the intro and just felt like a world stuffed to the gills with pointless quests that had no story or no purpose.
Dropped it soon after.

If only someone had warned her that being LOTO would involve interacting with both.

Does feel a bit pathological to focus and base stories around monthly GDP figures.
Outlets criticize a lack of long term thinking but then we can claim in two months to have gone from best growing economy in the g7 to a sharp contraction.

Do you think that confidence could be a bit misplaced considering the triggering events are the ICE raids- which are becoming more indiscriminate and targeting people who are part of the community?
So more voters will have been exposed to someone who ICE have wrongfully snatched?

Perhaps a ban on daily political podcasts?
Each one can get a designated day of the week to release content.

Is there even an example of this from his tenure as cabinet secretary?
Boris Johnson was able to take all the steps he wanted during covid with minimal
And Liz truss would Have been able to do most of what she wanted if it hadn't tanked the markets

Oh absolutely. I remember some people at med school who were already wanting to jump into management consultancy as soon as FY1 was done.
And David bulls wiki has the below which makes you wonder how many people realize that each of those specialties may have just been for 4 months.

Wonder why this is in particular- is it because the playing to the game supersedes what someone writes about it?
If I played more TTRPGs would I read less about them?
Or does the narrative and quite open form of TTRPGs make for more interesting reading and allow more discussion of theory?

Feels like something a military officer has told Hesgeth is the next step while knowing full well it doesn't mean what Hesgeth things it means.

There are so many things wrong with it but for some reason I'm most infuriated by not even considering crop rotation.
Something we've been doing for millennia!

Yeah also feels like the demographics of the army and national guard are different to that of ICE.
So not necessarily the Trump fanatics willing to go to all the lengths.
Wish we weren't in this situation but hope calmer heads at the ground level prevail

Been wondering this. Have the national guard even done anything?
Feel like they just stood around the federal buildings but all the protest engagement was ICE or LAPD.
Are they going to have the marines sweeping though the streets? Or just standing about?

By no means perfect games but at the time I'd not experienced anything quite like MGS 2+3.
Honestly think Metal Gear Solid 3 has so many moments Id just be happy to drop into and experience again even now.
