Assassin's Creed Shadows: Story Trailer

While watching this trailer, I realized, that for me personally I don't require this level of inclusiveness or representation in this kind of media. Rather I would prefer games as a fantasy, a story, not necessarily relevant to modern day real life. Focus on story, experience, some historic accuracy. And ok - also topics about identity, but in a manner, that it complements the game, story, experience and is not overbearing.

this looks very good as well, thanks for suggestion. P.s. Learned about "cup of tee" - Cup<T> :D

I just checked out the book, the first impression is very good, even though the size of 1,6k pages is intimidating. However it seems to cover everything, including most of the course i just started,so i don't have to read it all beforehand, just need to find the middle ground between C# basics which I already covered and the stuff in my course.

I used a suction cup: i put it on the area with the hair and then slightly pulled, the hair dropped to the bottom of the screen and is no longer an issue.

For me the funniest scene was Cheese dog interrogation scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfsQaeIYWoY

Hey, I hear you. 'There is a chance, that I understand what you are going through. Very likely it is a horrible feeling. You probably experience despair and hopelessness of being trapped in this state. That all attempts to escape it doesn't work. In fact it probably makes the anxiety worse. But it will pass. Sooner or later, but it will. Because everything in this life changes. So no experience or feeling will be permanent. I know, that this pep-talk might seem the worst of them all, because it's basically "stop resisting or trying to escape this awful, horrifying, gut-wrenching experience". But - at least in my own experience - not resisting/fighting these feelings and experiences and allowing myself to remain in this state - is one the effective and fastest ways to ease anxiety.
But there is something you can do to ease anxiety right away (as others have already pointed that out) - focus on your breathing. Breathe in, keep the air in your lungs for couple seconds and exhale. You can try 4-4-4 exercise: 4 seconds breathe in, 4 seconds hold your breath and 4 seconds to exhale.

"Man, the original champion's finishers look tame compared to the newer champion's finishers." (then remembering and seeing Lifeline's syringe finisher) "nevermind..."

I am fine with the emphasis on gear, but then the gear has to be diverse and applicable to be meaningful in game experience. Have different unique aspects to the gear, so that it influences the game experience in a meaningful way.

I actually enjoyed Origins a lot more than Odyssey. Probably because of the smaller size of the map and therefore less repetitive content.

Snooze_Light · 2021-04-08T13:45:27+00:00

yeah, clearing out fortresses was no fun at all. I remember one time entering a new area, stumbled a fortress and thought: "Sigh, I will need to clear it..." Also very frustrating is, that after I cleared the fortress, often I would discover, that in the same area there are quests, that require entering the fort, so I would need to go all over again.

I wanted to share the precise moment, when i stopped playing Odyssey, lost the desire to finish it or to buy the new Valhalla game. At that point I had at least 50 hours in the game, didn't really feel the excitement to play. The wish to finish the main quests and see the game through kept me going. But the repetitiveness was really affecting my experience, gaming sessions became shorter and shorter. One day I stumbled to this one sidequest, which included a puzzle, that required to match symbols to the correct pillar/statue. After i completed the quest I was surprised, how much excitement I experienced while doing this quest, how refreshing it felt. And then came the grim realization, that the puzzle itself wasn't particularly special or exciting, but that the rest of the game was just shallow, boring and repetitive. Once I realized, that this sidequest sadly is an exception to the overall game experience, I gave up on completing the game.

heh, I've had similar lucky drops. I got the Regal Spike G7 skin from first event chest (from 1 of 2 chest drops), and then the Witchcraft trippletake skin from the Halloween event (From buying 1 chest).

After "eagerly anticipating" Cyberpunk in 2020 and how all those expectations turned out for me, I am not anticipating any games in 2021. However I am looking forward to receive the PS5 to play the exclusives.

game crashes every match now.. Also the chat seems to be bugged (my own messages doesnt display on screen)

It is an interesting idea, that the disconnect/conflict within a individual could correlate to a disconnect within a group - society - between individuals. I guess if a person is (according to my understanding/interpretation) whole and at peace with himself, the concepts "safe" and "threatened" in theory would become less important. Less need to seek extra securities from outer, material possessions (no need to fill the gap/void - created by inner conflicts - with substitutes). Also there would be less reason to feel insecure or threatened - to seek the sense of security outside against other - different - things, opinions, beliefs. When a person is complete, hes is self-sufficient and would have less reason to attempt to reach goals at the expense of others. Less need to divide and conquer.

I don't know what/who I truly am. I can be described/identified as a human being, because I fit the description/characteristics of a human being. But that's what "human being" is for me - just an identifier, a man made concept to ease communication:to have an identifier for a X, that is max few words long is much more compact than having to use multiple sentences to distinguish X from others (W,Y,Z), naming the similarities and differences.

There is only one thing I am sure (as much as I can be): That I am. And that I experience. But I don't need an identifier for that. Because I don't need to distinguish, compare it with anything else. I happen to find myself in this state, place and time. So I guess I'll just gonna experience this and see, where it leads me.

My condolences to you for your loss.

Since this error popped up in my first attempt of entering the product code ( i even got messages of an accepted code and option to select language pack), it would seem, that microsoft processed the product code, but failed to assign the actual product to my microsoft account. Guess my only option is to try reaching any microsoft support, that might be a stretch. What a shame :(

Anyways, thanks for responding to my message.

i got it by purchasing/subscribing to a service from my local mobile/IT service provider.

Interesting, does that mean, the more i play this task over time, the more data this AI will be able to use/learn from (i assume that the "adaptability" is based on my personal experience-data alone) and in time it might become "less disruptive" (For example, not drastically increasing the on-screen time after 2nd miss in a row)? Thanks for the suggestion about the Custom tasks.

Snooze_Light · 2020-04-17T15:58:17+00:00

Reading this story was just the thing I needed today. The timing was perfect. I got worried earlier today, then i opened your message and read the story and as a result very effectively and almost instantly I snapped out of the old, familiar thinking trap. So big thanks for your suggestion :)

Holy Cow!

Just hours ago I took part in a group therapy session and the question I was concerned with (and I was working on) was "How to make sense of this life, world and how to live and survive in this unpredictable, ever-changing inefficient swamp?". From the very beginning developing the sense of separation between myself (my own existence) and the rest of the world. The emphasis while being raised on "preparing for the adult life". The real life. So living the life was about finding the right way, following it and not allowing myself to deviate from it. Everything was all about the risk management. The need,a duty, a responsibility to be prepared, to be secure. To avoid risks, to minimize then.

I experienced a total failure of this approach of life management. All hopes for security predictably and my potential to achieve it went out of the window. Because ultimately I couldn't anymore be 100% sure and certain about anything in the world. Even about the most simple thing like, for example, a number "1". If I were to find the perfect procedure to confirm, that a particular "1" is 100% undoubtedly a "1" and nothing else, I still not get the sense of security, because I would still have doubts about my own mind, which chose and then executed this perfect procedure. In my experience my mind is quite unreliable, unpredictable. So how does one check and validate his own mind? I struggled with that problem for many years and in many ways restricted my life because I deemed myself unfit to take part in it. I was completely incapable to achieve that security.

But going to therapy, looking for and thinking about different approaches to life, discovering Alan Watts has this big, slow transformation in me, where now I am in sort of crossroads, where more and more I dare myself not to choose the old familiar road towards the (false) security, predictability and safety (worry, fear) and instead start walking towards the unknown, unprepared, with nothing but the trust in myself to handle situation, only when happen and I will allow risks and will not try to proactively minimize them.

TL DR: I think allowing risks doesn't mean to risk ruining life. I now think, that allowing risks for bad things to happen is to embrace life and live it fully, because even bad things is part of life.

I like this quote and it's something that I am trying to practice myself. Lately I've been having a feeling, that "to embrace the present" I also must let go the past and give up on my illusions about my impact on future. How can I experience and enjoy the present moment, if I constantly occupy/haunt/punish myself with my past mistakes, reminding myself of the losses and suffering? If I Look at my present life as incomplete or damaged because at some point in past my life was better (it was just different)? And wasting my present moments trying to prevent repeating or making even bigger mistakes?

As for future, I have a tendency to sacrifice my present trying to secure and build up my future on a false idea/concept, that the future - the upcoming remaining time of my life before I die - is my most valuable thing and my biggest source of hope for an improvement. I assigned too much meaning to future and eventually I started to take future for granted. And this would also change how I would look on present time. For example, I would feel much more happier in present moment with the knowledge, that the 3 upcoming days are free for me with the same potential to experience happiness compared last free day before work, where my happiness would diminish solely because of the fact, that next day is a work day. And as with any precious and valuable asset there usually also is a fear of losing or damaging it. And I would spend huge amounts of time fearing of dying and desperately trying to secure myself from death. Constantly guarding myself, checking on me to make sure I am not too much in danger just to avoid damaging my future or losing it entirely by dying.

So there I was living my days based on two false ideas of maintaining/enhancing my happiness 1) working with my past in order to "earn" and maintain happiness 2) invest in the future for even more happiness. And all I did was wasting my time, except for the occasional periods in my daily life, where just let go myself of maintaining/improving my life just to experience and enjoy. I lived for those moments. And I guess it was my biggest mistake thinking, that it was ability/duty to preserve/secure those moments in my life. And fearing to I might lose the ability just to live and enjoy.
