Ubisoft wishes they could make a game that good.

I love reposts, it lets me know who I can block for posting tired old shit because they’re not creative enough to contribute anything on their own, but would still like the validation and approval as if they did.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 14 hours ago:
I’ve also never seen a fellow engineer simplify pi to just 3, although I have seen a rise of memes from people who think they do.
I would slap someone if I saw them try that, it’s unnecessarily sloppy. 3.14 is the default, and trivial to work with if you’re using a calculator (I would also slap someone if I saw them not using a calculator). Unless you just LIKE having all your calculations be off by almost 5%. Then you’ll come back wondering why so many of your parts are out of tolerance.

You’re going to hate this response, but if you’re already paying to avoid ads, you could get YouTube premium. I got grandfathered into it from Google Music and honestly I feel it’s absolutely worth it. It’s about the same cost as Spotify and comes with YouTube music that works just as well. So I look at it like paying for Spotify with the added bonus of no ads on YouTube and being able to play videos in the background. I also tend to watch a ton of YouTube videos and often use the to fall asleep to.
At this point, it’s the only subscription service I still pay for. I’ve ditched all the others, but that one has stayed. Anytime I see someone watching YouTube without it, or without a good quality ad blocker, I’m horrified. So. Many. Ads. I don’t get how anyone can watch anything like that.
But I get it; most people would rather drag their ass through a mile of broken glass than pay YouTube a dime, and I totally respect that. Just sharing my experience.

One of the unlabeled buttons on the side of the screen should mute it. Whenever I find it, I’ll take a pen or sharpie and mark which one is the mute button for future people who don’t want to be subjected to that shit.

- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 3 weeks ago:
I always liked the Dresden Files take on technology and magic. It’s not that they can’t exist in the same universe, it’s that magic causes absolute haywire with circuitry. So you can use technology, or you can use magic, but not both.

…so? Are you also stupid enough that your intelligence falls into the range that is considered “mentally retarded”? No? Ok then you’re not retarded. So you tell me on whose behalf you’re offended, because it certainly isn’t yours.
- Comment on Are there any TV series you gave up on, or just forgot about due to insane gaps between seasons? 5 weeks ago:
I got sick of that show. It’s worse than Lost with the constant hints that there’s some greater mystery but then refusing to give any solid details about it, just more cryptic clues that lead nowhere. At least in Lost they got off the damn beach after the first season.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
2 years seems like a nightmare for indie developers. Do you want a bunch of AI Chinese cash grabs pushing things out like Hollow Knight 2: Microtransaction Edition or Stardew Valley Romance Sims? Because without IP protection, indie developers will get creamed.
- Comment on Harassed by Assassin’s Creed gamers, a professor fought back with kindness 1 month ago:
My dude… Not only can Asians be racist, they are some of the most racist people around. Go to China and listen to them talk about other races. They make Alabama seem like a pinnacle of equality and tolerance.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 month ago:
Uhg, I’m pretty sure I got 90% of the way through that game and then I took a break for some reason or another. Came back and was just completely lost. And just like you, cant even look up a guide because I don’t know where I’d begin to look.
- Comment on Could wastewater plant simply heat up water past 500C to decompose all chemicals and output clean water? 1 month ago:
Golly gee, if only there were some form of energy generation that required boiling vast amounts of water to turn into steam. But no, that would be silly.
- Comment on Netflix's CEO says movie theaters are old news. Director Rian Johnson says his next movie belongs there anyway. 1 month ago:
The traditional method of running a movie theater is old news. I don’t understand why they’ve been so slow to adapt, especially when the answer is staring them right in the face; just show older movies.
Theaters are following an outdated business model where they mostly show newly released movies. But people don’t want that anymore. Who wants to spend $20 on some generic Hollywood BS that’s cranked out today? You know what they would spend $20 on? Seeing The Matrix on the big screen again, taking their kids to see Labyrinth or The Goonies, watching Saving Private Ryan with all the power that movie theater sound systems can deliver.
Oh sure, they’re slooooowly adapting. Sometimes theaters will have a single screen with some limited event, not even hosted by the theater, showing something like a Miyazaki film, or a single Star Wars film to celebrate its anniversary. But those are few and far between. Go look at the showtimes for your closest movie theater. The choices suck. Now imagine if there were showtimes for Terminator 2, Seven Samurai, Interstellar, The Big Lebowski, or one of the original Indiana Jones’s. Hell, even movies that are considered campy would be good compared to new stuff today. If there was a showtime for The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, can you honestly say that wouldn’t be a more appealing choice than The Accountant 2?
Movie theaters are fun! The whole experience is fun! Getting your drink and snack, settling into a comfy chair, and really watching a movie; no talking, no phones, just the movie with premium quality and sound. And there are SO MANY movies! Why is this experience still almost exclusively for new releases, most of which suck now? You want more people going to your theaters? The solution is RIGHT THERE, just adapt!

Good luck playing Black Flag unless you pirate it. Ubisoft fucking broke it with their shitty app. If will still work if you’ve previously installed and launched it, but if you’re a first time player, the launcher will prompt you to log in to Ubisoft 's shitty app, and then just never run.
