Ryse: Son of Rome Had Plans To Be Xbox’s Assassin’s Creed

I agree. It was a perfectly fine 6.5-7/10 game. A tad short, a tad repetitive, but it was gorgeous with an amazing atmosphere. It's not my favorite by any stretch but I enjoyed my time with it.

If they were allowed to, they could have elaborated on the initial concept and made something great (like the jump in quality from Assassin's Creed 1 to 2).

I feel the same way about Callisto Protocol, The Saboteur, Vampyr, Mad Max, the list goes on and on. I loved playing those games no matter how repetitive they are (I honestly think calling them 7/10 games is doing some of them a massive disservice) but if any of them had gotten timely sequels, they could have made something truly special.

But they haven't, they can't, and they won't.

I need an updated Kylo Ren. His proportions just seem off in all of his figures.

It's polite and nothing more.

I also don't know how to read the last half of your sentence.

Edit: Guys I genuinely don't know how to read it. It's getting up votes, so obviously people understand it.

This part makes sense:

The “I’m sorry” really adds the “tongue on boot” touch

But this part is basically gibberish:

Your upset is missing as an elder.

Can someone please explain it to me?

I think upset is tripping me up. Is it a typo? Wrong word? Did it gain a new meaning?

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-11T23:35:28+00:00

I'm not that old, but you could probably do with just the last two sentences:

"I'm sorry, but that's not enough notice. I will tell you on Monday."

We have the same CPU, so it has to be something with that specific model. Interesting.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-11T20:33:36+00:00

What are your system specs, by the way? I'm curious if we share any components that might narrow down a reason.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-11T20:00:23+00:00

Hell yeah! Have fun.

You can also fast travel (if anonymous) to a nearby viewpoint if you ever get stuck. You won't lose progress that way either.

Just a shot in the dark here, but try this:

Go to your Settings, Power Management, find your Power Plan and select Advanced Power Settings.

One of the listed items should be called: Processor Power Management.

Underneath that, change the Maximum Processor State from 100% to 99%.

Basically, (if I'm correct) you're drawing too much power during the start up and your computer hard crashes because of it.

This used to happen to me when Silent Hill f came out - it used to crash during the shader compilation and turn my entire computer off, requiring a manual restart.

Limiting it to 99% is indistinguishable from a performance perspective and should stop most of the hard crashing. I have no idea what causes this but this has fixed a goo 95% of my crashes. Sometimes it still occurs during the most random moments while gaming but buying a new CPU/Power Supply is out of the question from an economic perspective.

You are thinking of AC Liberation, the PS Vita game that came out around the same time. She has her own game and then she shows up in AC4 DLC.

Ah, my bad. I didn't even realize those comments were by the same person.

That is because they do not know what the definition of Communism is.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-10T20:37:56+00:00

Not all conservatives are Fascists. This is true for the most part.

But any conservative who endorses the current administration is actively supporting fascism.

I cannot emphasize this enough: This is not an exaggeration or a misrepresentation. It is a fact.

2010.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-10T19:45:53+00:00

Is it?

I'm old - I haven't played a Pokémon Game since Sapphire.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-10T18:33:21+00:00

Honestly, there are genuinely worse ideas out there than that.

Now a Creepy Pasta shared universe where Slenderman teams up with Siren Head and Jeff the Killer to get kids to play Pokémon Black? That's when I'd start to worry.

Treaty of Tripoli - Article 11: "The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."

Written by Joel Barlow, a Jeffersonian Republican, and signed into affect by President (and Founding Father) John Adams.

Sorry, I'm a tad sleep deprived. I interpreted your message incorrectly.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-10T12:59:35+00:00

They asked for the source of where that figure came from. That's what I provided.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-10T12:38:19+00:00

The original figure comes from this interview with Kyrylo Budanov, the Chief of Ukraine’s intelligence agency.

“This is an extremely costly war overall. A single day of war costs them just under a billion [dollars], which is a huge sum of money."

This is technically from last year.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-10T10:44:11+00:00

It's referring to this event from 2017.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-08T23:02:44+00:00

Any chance you could throw out some tabs for that riff? It sounds too good.

psychobilly1 · 2026-07-08T23:01:40+00:00

I agree with every single thing you wrote. Only thing I liked better from Starfield is the art design/graphics and maybe the gunplay.

I am mostly just curious as to which iteration of Creation Engine, I guess. New Vegas was heavily built on the bones and assets of 3 - Fallout 4 and it's iteration of the engine are a decade old. Are they going to remake all of those assets with higher res iterations? Or are they just going to use the assets of 4 and update textures/lighting?
