Non-spoilery review: It’s cool.
I kinda like all AC games but I also really enjoy this one. I love playing a stealth assassin and Naoe (the Japanese girl) perfectly fit that gameplay as she is not made for frontal assault.
The other character is also nice to sometimes have a one man army, if you want to disconnect your brain and just go head on an enemy group, it is a welcome change of pace when you want that.
Ubi’s Open World are graphic wonders as always but this one is a step above. I am really used toto 4K HDR gaming and this game is probably the best looking one I have on my PC.
As a side note, I took a Ubi+ for one month to play it and will buy the game when there is a discount.

Zero as well. Damn we’re old 👴
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 week ago:
Scent-ore
Simply “englishified” from French where I’ve ever heard only one way, Centaur (100 tor).
- Comment on I just found out 200GB SFP exists (imagine my seed ratio!) 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen two times in my life couples walking on the street with the husband holding is hand around the woman neck like that.
I told friends and they didn’t believe some people could do that. Later during the year we saw another couple walking the same way.
I really don’t understand, like you said, it gives me the creeps.

Pet me like one of your French girls or else I will take all your food and money.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 3 weeks ago:
I am convinced there’s a class of Americans that just don’t read *any* news at all
That’s possible, or just plain dismissing reality.
In the film Civil war, there is a violent, well, Civil war raging across the US and several characters says that their parents are living on a farm in Wisconsin or whatever, purposely ignoring what is happening in the country.
IRL, I’ve seen several American youtubers dismissing reality by saying “it will be finished in 4 years so we’ll just have to wait”. Tons of people are saying they’re apolitical so they’ll just endure and wait for the shit show to end.

We ally with California, Mexico and Canada then liberate the Gilead Republic (see The Handmaid’s Tale series and Civil War film).
- Comment on Why do people hold tobacco cigarettes and cannabis joints differently when smoking them? 4 weeks ago:
From memory cause I haven’t smoke in 20 years, it’s mostly about filter.
Cigarette have industrial made filters that are solid and doesn’t heat that much.
Joint have hand made filters generally made with a bit of rolled cardboard or the tip of a cigarette (opposite side from the filter). Both makes the joint less sturdy than a cigarette and the heat is more easily transferred.
When you hold it like a cigarette between your index and middle finger it touches your fingers where the skin is the thinnest, so it burns you more easily, specially when you are close to the end of smoking.
Then there’s maybe a psychological side, cannabis is illegal or frowned upon in many places, so hiding your joint inside your palm makes it less noticeable (except for the smell of course, I didn’t say it was logical).
- Comment on Waking up an hour before you intend to 4 weeks ago:
Bonjour, yes it is. It’s 11am now so still way before the “Bonsoir” time which don’t really have an official time (it’s when it’s dark and we don’t have a good afternoon equivalent).

Ah a fellow 4h30 early bird!

- Comment on The FAA Has a Big Problem with Mental Health 4 weeks ago:
Well yeah, it’s hard to see the radar screen or reach the rudder pedals if you are a dwarf.
I am a blind air traffic controller and even I can see that it would be difficult.
- Comment on The FAA Has a Big Problem with Mental Health 4 weeks ago:
FAA also have a problem with its ATC branch. Basically they lack fund, workers are overworked, overstressed, tired and procedures are not always safe (visual app for liners, not strong enough phraseology).
This will lead to more deaths and no, it will not have to do with the skin color or sexual preferences of the ATCO.
(+ FAA had a problem as a regulator, see what happened with Boeing)
- Comment on When fighter jets are scrambled to intercept a plane for security reasons, what can they actually do? 5 weeks ago:
They do, full flaps and uncomfortable high pitch (well, no flaps in that picture as it is a Mirage) but they definitely do.
Of course there are probably certain types of jets that cannot fly below 150kt and it’s not like actual fighters capabilities are advertised on internet. I only know that Rafale is said to go “below 120kt” with 16 degrees pitch up in 15 tons configuration, FA-18 is something like 135kt at pitch 30 !
- Comment on Delightfully so 5 weeks ago:
I have a friend with a strong scouser accent (Liverpool). I discovered the day I met her that I won’t be able to call myself fluent in English (proper, not simplified) until I manage every accents of the British Isles.

We know it wasn’t in the US otherwise they would have felt threatened and shot you.
Sorry it happened to you.

- Comment on French video game developers stage first industry-wide strike 1 month ago:
They’re on the backlog for me.
I bought it mostly for supporting the strike and for the Godot C# books.
- Comment on French video game developers stage first industry-wide strike 1 month ago:
Nope, we learned about it from an English written post (see my other comment) about a pcgaming article.
If course we immediately spammed the French lemmy because vive la grève !
- Comment on French video game developers stage first industry-wide strike 1 month ago:
I first saw it on !technology@lemmy.world (in English). It was also on !technology@beehaw.org

- Comment on My employer blocking trusted adblock extensions but allowing ad blockers that whitelist corporate ads 1 month ago:
Ah no it’s not. But I’ll never lose my job over that.
And worst case scenario, I’ll get 80% of a huge salary for 2 years and plenty of free time to start my own business (blackjack and hookers not planned but everything is negotiable).

In case you missed it (posted several times on lemmy) the STJV grève bundle on itch.io
- Comment on My employer blocking trusted adblock extensions but allowing ad blockers that whitelist corporate ads 1 month ago:
LOL
Fuck the employer, we riot and strike every few months, does it look like we care about employer regulations and company image? Without us the company will die and the head of state won’t allow it, so we do basically whatever we want.
Plus safety isn’t the issue here, not when Internet Explorer 6 or 7 was the only supported browser till late 2023. We are talking here about the non safety critical “admin network”, the network with only the administrative computer (emails, word processors etc).
The really safety critical network is air tight from the administrative world and Internet, it runs on Linux with tons of hardware redundancy.
Windows machines are just glorified type writers and internet browsing screens, they serve no operational business.
- Comment on My employer blocking trusted adblock extensions but allowing ad blockers that whitelist corporate ads 1 month ago:
I don’t know about Chrome but that would be worth a search. Our corporate browser was still IE for a while. Now it evolved to Edge.
They are deep in the MS ecosystem…
- Comment on My employer blocking trusted adblock extensions but allowing ad blockers that whitelist corporate ads 1 month ago:
Mine does the same (well, even less trusty addblocks are blocked).
But I found that copy/pasting the profiles folder of Firefox does the trick. In this folder there is an extension folder and xpi files that I can backup on the corporate cloud + usb drive to restore all my extensions.
Cause yeah, extensions are blocked but pasting into %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ is not :)
- Comment on Another Fatal aircraft flaw that the FAA is doing nothing about!?! 1 month ago:
Costs ? Most probably. Until we have bleed less aircraft but even if the tech exists none are in the pipes, not at Airbus and Boeing tho, not until they design an all new aircraft (so in minimum one decade at Boeing and Airbus is not in a hurry because of that).
Including a sensor in the bleed duct might mitigate the issue but it’s more work than a simple software upgrade, so, cost…
Maybe the next incident will force the industry. It would probably need a big enough incident involving a strong investigation board. So not the Swiss STSB (in the case I linked) as they and FOCA lack the influence, nor the FAA (in the video case) as they have proved this last decade to be incompetent as a regulator and ANSP, they have to get their shit in order first and put the money where it is needed.
Best case scenario would be an Airbus and BEA as the latter would put huge administrative and political pressure on the manufacturer whatever the costs are. Then once all Airbus are retrofitted Boeing and FAA would not have a choice but to do the same.
- Comment on Another Fatal aircraft flaw that the FAA is doing nothing about!?! 1 month ago:
Toxic oil fumes getting into the bleed air system already made one dead.
A young flight attendant on a Swiss A220 (formerly BCS3). It’s another engine (PW1524G) than the Leap A or B, without the “anti wobbling system” (can’t remember the name) purging the oil, but nevertheless, an oil leak getting burned by the engine will end up in the bleed air.
- Comment on "The insultingly low salary you would have accepted is still too high." 1 month ago:
Agree, 30k €/£/chf is very low.
I’ve never worked nor lived in London but it is a capital, it should be at least 50k.
In Switzerland we would have something around 75 to 120k chf according to specific details (industry, experience, location etc).
