Reality vs Adventure

The richest guy in the world buys Twitter, makes it private, and now wants to charge people to have access to Twitter. Is freedom of speech something that should be paid for? This seems like the direction of class warfare having social media something you can't use if you are poor. One day it's $8 and next thing you know it's $50 a month. Since Musk took over, bigots immediately went to their hate speech to test Twitter. Meanwhile, Musk has gotten rid of Twitter's humanitarian and ethics AI researchers. Advertisers are now leaving Twitter and a Federalist Society lawyer Mike Davis told Musk to threaten any and all advertisers by verbally shaming them and boycott any advertiser that leaves Twitter. Mike Davis on Twitter: "You have nearly 114,000,000 Twitter followers. Name and shame the advertisers who are succumbing to the advertiser boycotts. So we can counter-boycott them. And get your $8 monthly subscription going asap. So we can start to makeup for lost revenue now." Musk's Twitter response: “Thank you. A thermonuclear name & shame is exactly what will happen if this continues.” A thermonuclear name and shame if an advertisers chooses to not advertise? Of course you have the right to boycott for whatever reason, but to name and shame them for not wanting to advertise for non moderated hateful bigotry? Why would you want your company advertisement next to "N" this and "N" that? By the way Mike Davis is a Federalist Society member who is an extreme far right group and our U.S. Supreme Court conservatives are Federalist Society members who have the lowest American confidence in this supreme court for the entire history of the country. Even recently House speaker Nanci Pelosi's husband was attacked in his own home with attempted murder by a QANON far right terrorist who had zip ties on him and was looking for Nanci. This is a huge attack against our government and Musk openly engages in misinformation on Twitter: “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye.” He's referring to new conspiracy theories about Paul Pelosi. Then Musk leaves a link to Santa Monica Observer known for misinformation. SMO has also said that Hillary Clinton is dead and that there is a doublet taking her place. This is the guy who runs Twitter now. Sick world of narcissism we are in now. And of course MAGA worships the guy now and even 4chan underground terrorist social media is getting jealous. Dangerous times ahead

Type 2 fun in relation to gaming would be hunting animals, especially in RDR2. But I enjoy getting rewards such as cool looking gear. The hunting grounds in Horizon Zero Dawn was sometimes difficult too trying to get the gold medal. Type 3 fun would be games like Bloodborne where I go so far and earned some resources, then die and all was for naught. Then I delete the game because I lose motivation.

Something that is very important to consider and a very realistic problem would be available resources in order to make gaming products like the chips which we know has been in major short supply. And we see how vulnerable those resources are during war between Russia and Ukraine having most of the supply. If gaming doesn't find alternative means to build chips with, then that will likely be the end of it. Gaming won't go away naturally. Most likely it will become a part of everybody's lives in some way as it advances to meet the needs of every class/status/group no matter who you are. But with chip shortages, gaming will become a rich man's hobby. Then as the target audience changes to suit the needs of the wealthy, the games will become more adultish, xxx rated, lots of simulations, and just outright toxic to please the rich goons. Another situation could be a politically charged attack on gaming blaming it for violence and not conforming to authoritarian agendas which would limit access to gaming as well to literature and social media and everything else. Remember China wouldn't grant gaming developers a publishing license for a while for political reasons. They also limited amount of games to be played by kids using facial recognition technology. So politics is a real threat to the gaming world. And just as we see rich assholes buying up social media, rich assholes can also buy up game developers and publishers so as to control content for the masses. So enjoy it while gaming is still has creative freedom and expression.

Tell me, should freedom of speech have a charge now? Freedom of speech has just been bought. News is next

Bring back honor to a warrior. Defend humanity. Those who are warrior trained to take it away, they lack self awareness. You can’t have honor and lack self awareness. Unless you are a fully aware psychotic. If you are granted warrior status as psychotics then you crossed into dehumanization. That is the opposite of the foundations of a warrior. You become nothing more than a legalized serial killer.

Does evil have warriors? NO they have subjugated mindless killers

You can be a warrior mercenary or a warrior for whatever cause. You aren’t a true warrior if you are paid for it. A warrior has always held honor. When people try to take the honor away and declare themselves as warriors then we need new true honorable warriors to fight back.

Not pride, but honor. Honor makes the best warrior.

The article doesn't really explain how it would work. I think a better approach is what AC Valhalla has done in their difficulty options: Adjust difficulty, damage taken, damage given, parry response time, AI reaction, time being pursued, aiming, and there is probably more I'm not remembering. I wouldn't want an auto emotion adjustment if I'm trying new weapons and start getting whipped. Then they make it easier while I switch to better weapons and abilities expecting the challenge when it's now gone. Isn't that part of the challenge to use proper gear and abilities? It would decrease your strategy skills. Unless you are in rampage mode and the emotion detector says, well let's give em blood then. That would be cool. But what if you are trying to lose the cops and emotion detector says nuh uh bad boy, were gonna get you. We are the law MF.

Another Cyberpunk? That should be interesting. Make it 3rd person please!!! I wanna see my character.

That old lady in RE7 where her head follows your direction everywhere. That's seriously messed up

Watch Dogs Legion for me is the most disturbing atmosphere in a game I've ever played. You pretty much have the entire city of London fallen into military/corporate control who commits terrorist acts on its own people. Kidnaps them, tortures them. Nobody is safe. Drones everywhere checking you out policing you with soldiers on every corner arresting you and beating you. Behind every closed door of a public place is a room of torture. AI programmed to murder you. Everyone forced to wear a chip implanted into your head. You aren't safe anywhere. It's obviously scary when games have monsters in it, but when humans just do pure evil to other humans on a large scale, that's way beyond the pale that is seriously disturbing. And that nature resides in us, even more disturbing. Which makes the game very real.

Living in an age without Penicillin would be a short life, but I’d love to live in an older time. Everything would be much simpler to work right down the road and when you are done go home and sleep in the open air. No mosquitoes or too much humidity would be ideal. You depend on your own strength if your village is raided unlike today you get mowed down with a gun. But my simpler life would be in an age without guns well before the 1800’s. I’m thinking more like 500 BC.

Can’t say I agree. I thought it looked amazing and once you go out into the frontier areas with the forest and all maybe you would see a better comparison there. Besides the graphical comparison, the game itself I thought a lot of effort was put into it regardless of the remastered or original. And I don’t see how it’s not more popular than it is. The main story, the animus story, the dramatic ending, it all really brought some emotions that not many of the other games in the series has done. I mean, even certain battles at times they caught the emotion of characters. Even at one point Conner told Washington to basically fuck off. And it’s like, wow, no he just didn’t lol. The story had a roller coaster of emotions. Getting caught in the middle of a war, trying to take down templars, trying to protect his own people, the struggle with his father who actually is the son of Kenway in AC4. Then Desmond’s story and the relationship with his father. The creepy ISU Juno. 2012. It really was a big game. One of my favorites of the series.

This game is old but goes down as a legendary game

Now listen to the above song without the video. Tell me you don't grow a patriot in your heart. Fucking tomahawk. Legalize scalping mother fuckers. Tomahawk; run through the field for freedom. Protect your land. Who taught the British to fight? Natives. Who taught the patriots to fight? Natives. Guns won. Powder over blades. Ride them horses and dodge them bullets while you throw you tomahawk. Leap off your horse, if you managed to steal one from the colonizers; fucking scalp the mother fuckers. My tomahawk is my gun. I will bear arms with my tomahawk. You come and get me. I will ride through a field of bullets because I believe in up close strength. But you mother fuckers don't. I will jump over a line of red coats and do my special attack. Then I will scalp you while your compadres watch. You fucking took my land. I have all the right to kill you. To scalp you. That is my mission. I will get you. The war is never finished as long Tomahawks are still legal. The unamendment right.

Music video

It was awesome playing as a Native American wearing the Animal Spirit outfit. Even the default Assassin outfit for him looked good. My favorite weapon was the tomahawk with the Animal Spirt gear. This first video shows fighting rampage while he's in the Native gear. The fighting mechanics of the game are bad ass. It's worth watching the whole video. The second video here is in the DLC. You get new animal powers abilities which is shown in the video. I think all AC games should have these new abilities. One ability you turn into a ghost eagle and you can fly from rooftop to rooftop. Another is an invisibility ghost mode which was real fun to use and just creep up on people. Another is you call a pack of wolf ghosts who attack your enemies. Then there is the bear ghost which destroys everyone around you. You can see them in 2nd video.

I’ve been looking into this more and kind of gathered pieces of information here and there and I’m not claiming to be 100% correct, but just bringing info to the table. Supposedly languages have evolved a lot over the centuries in relation to gender and is still changing today in a natural evolution of language. Centuries ago some authors used gender neutral words. And even the past decades some countries have been changing words. Most recently that I know of being Sweden in 2015 added a gender neutral word to their dictionary, (hen) pronoun instead of using (hon or han) which means he or she. The Latin language vs Old English: Old English used a grammatical gender language using masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns that do not describe a natural sex. Latin differs in that it uses both grammatical and natural gender using masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns. Old English eventually evolved into modern English in the 1200-1300’s by dropping the grammatical gender nouns and that is why English is not a gendered language. The evolution of the Latin language actually dropped the neuter nouns and kept the gender nouns giving way to Romance Latin languages like Spanish. Which brings us to today where the language continues to evolve in the USA and Latin America and the USA is caught in political crosshairs but it supposedly was not the whites who promoted it. “White people did not make up Latinx,” he says. “It was queer Latinx people... They are the ones who used the word. Our little subgroup of the community created that. It was created by English-speaking U.S. Latinx people for use in English conversation.” https://www.history.com/news/hispanic-latino-latinx-chicano-background Also in this article from History Channel, says that the movement could have started in the early 2000’s and became more popular the past decade, but still only 4% of Latins use LatinX. With today’s political divisions and inclusivity, brings about exclusivity. So what I believe will eventually happen is some words will be changed in the dictionary, and the exclusivity types will want to ban dictionaries if not outright ban non gender conforming people themselves. I thought LatinX was ridiculous at first, but we are seeing the natural evolution of language. A huge problem however, is that Spanish is not Old English or Old Latin. It's a highly gendered language. The whole language will have to change. And if it does change, they would have to bring back (neuter) nouns and Spanish would reverse back to Old Latin or something??????????? And drop the natural gender nouns while integrating the grammatical gender nouns. So maybe in the next 500 years Latina America will be speaking a New Latin non gendered language. Never know. These things have happened before over a span of hundreds of years.

Here is a small crossover trailer with WD Legion and Assassin's Creed. Once you unlock the Assassin Darcy, you can play her and use her skills as much you want in the game. I believe she is part of a DLC. It works really well. It definitely can be done to integrate a bit more.

I was hoping for a new city but looks like it will be in Vice City. If they keep the satire then at least representing Miami would have lots of material to flavor the boiling pot. I hope we will be able to keep any vehicle we want and not worry about losing it.

I think the word Latin in of itself is inclusive because it could be any gender. That's the way it's always been. You do make a point about people who want to label LatinX as inclusive are making it exclusive. Think about the English speaking territories in the Americas like the USA, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean. We don't call it Anglo America or Germanic America. Nobody is saying AngloX or Anglo, Angla, Angle. And of course nobody ever says Anglo America. But it is a region of English speaking territories from England. So I don't understand why Anglos want to make Latin inclusive and not Anglo. ??? lol

Great review! When I played the first game, I just wasn't expecting it to be so good and ended up being one of the best underrated gems. And now that you mentioned the difficulty level has increased for the sequel has actually boosted my excitement. There were some pretty challenging moments in the first one, but fun challenges. Fun strategy. And I can't wait to use the ability of pushing them into the rats!!! Does Hugo get any abilities in the sequel? That looks like the best one. I do have to say that walking downhill kinda sideways like that looks fine to me because that's actually what I do if I'm moving downhill at a fast pace. I kind of sidestep and hoppity skip...or something. Get more balance that way and don't go tumbling head first if you trip. It's definitely inspiring when you review games. I wonder if this sequel got more attention than the first? Because the first game deserved more attention than it got. This game is a must play for me, but won't be for a while cause I don't have a ps5 or xbox series. Can't wait!!!

The Evil Within 2 is a really good one. The character is struggling between two different worlds and facing self blame to what happened to his daughter and he faces all kinds of personal hells. Even when you boost your ability levels, he sits in a crazy chair and talks to an entity. And there is a psychotic villain threatening his family showing him scenes of serial killings so as to torture his mind. Another is The Suffering. A guy goes to prison for the murder of his family and he has no recollection of it. Monsters take control of the prison and he has to fight his way out all the while having psychologically visions of torment. An ability he has is to turn into a beast and go on a rampage which is like a struggle of his own personal demons and rage.

Actually, I think what defines Latin is the language spoken but it's up for debate. Spanish language has it's roots in Latin and is part of the Romance languages like Spain, Italy, Portugal, Romania, France. All came from Latin. Latin evolved into different classifications such as Romance. Spain would be Ibero-Romance. Romania is Balkan Romance. France is Gallo-Romance. Here is a wikipedia link to Latin Romance languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages When it comes to the Americas and Latin, as based on Romantic Latin languages, every country south of the USA is Latin. And the majority speak Spanish except for Brazil and I think Paraguay and Uruguay. LatinX I don't even know what it means and I'm not concerned with it LOL. It's supposed to be a gender neutral term I guess. But when you look at the entire Spanish language it is very sexist as it has masculine pronunciations and feminine pronunciations. When you want to complicate gender neutral terms, you would throw the whole Spanish language into the abyss. But if Spain is not considered Latin then that is news to me and you guys may be right to a certain extent as language and nationality could have different meanings. Here is a good link to the difference between Hispanic, Latino, and Spanish https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/a33971047/what-is-difference-between-hispanic-latino-spanish/
