i am enjoying ac odyssey so much. started playing it some days ago. you can try to pry the game and the series off my hands but you will not succeed. i just love the series so much and it is in the top three of game series for me (mass effect and dragon age taking the other two spots).
also i haven’t laughed this ugly and snotty way since forever when i did the family values quest and shagged the blacksmith. best laughs right there through the whole quest. i am so happy they made this an rpg this time.
oh and i am playing as alexios. i am so looking forward to play as kassandra, but i just always play with the male option first if the guy is not utterly detestable. still not sure what to think of his voice, had pictured it to be different and i can not quite catch his nature because of it mostly. but i think he’s growing on me. and yes i am totally playing him as 100% gay. gonna be like that with kassandra too. thank you ubisoft for giving me this holy option.
there was a short moment of confusion caused by all the colored marble statues everywhere until i remembered that they were not always white/beige but painted with vibrant colors and the colors just wore off with age, which is what we have left now.
honestly one of the best treats the ac series gives me are the historical details.
WHAT IS ALKIBIADES EVEN. I LOVE HIM.
i just love how alexios is so fed up with sokrates’ filosophy talks and is relieved every time he can part ways after getting pulled into such discussion with him.
“handle with care” side quest and alkibiades is not letting me down. why do i like him so. he’s horrible but i like him. can’t stop snickering whenever he’s included. my god this guy.
the fire of the monger’s warehouse happened and brasidas emerged. that was a really cool scene. i… i think i need water.
Article 13 is still in its final stages of voting. The problem is not that people don’t want to protect copyright, it’s that the LANGUAGE of the LAW is TOO VAGUE and OPEN TO ABUSE. IT COULD PASS THIS YEAR.
This law WILL impact EVERYBODY. Media platforms like YouTube will not bother to have different policies for the EU and for everybody else, they’ll just apply strict EU laws to EVERYONE.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS. You can yammer on all day about how people shouldn’t be building a career on an industry like YouTube or Instagram anyway, but the world changes, and there is actually not much different between YouTube content creators and traditional media like movies and TV. Youtubers, Instagram models, hell, even kids who use apps like TikTok are either directly or indirectly CREATING JOBS, and you CANNOT deny that. ALL OF THESE JOBS WILL BE PUT IN JEOPARDY IF ARTICLE 13 IS PUT INTO PLAY. THE ONLY CONTENT CREATORS THAT WILL BE ABLE TO THRIVE POST ARTICLE 13 IS BIG MEDIA COMPANIES.
THIS IS NOT FEARMONGERING. Is it scary, even anxiety-inducing that Article 13 could take away the only safe space that some people have—the Internet? YES. But we CANNOT close our eyes and scroll past all the article 13 posts because they make us anxious, or because they make us sad. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Reblog/make posts. Spread awareness. Tell your friends. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF YOU LIVE IN THE EU, TALK TO YOUR REPS. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO SAVE OUR INTERNET.
We’re currently going through a scare on Tumblr where your blog could get taken down at any time for any unclear reason, because they’re cracking down on child porn. That is good, but many people with perfectly appropriate blogs are having them taken down, too. The thing is, right now, you can still get your blog back without hassle if it is taken down by mistake. Imagine if your blog was taken down simply for making or reblogging a meme, gif of your favorite TV show, or simply producing art that isn’t 100% original, and Tumblr COULD NOT RESTORE IT BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS BY ARTICLE 13. That could be our reality. Do NOT turn a blind eye to this.
tl;dr Article 13 will 100% change the internet as we know it for the worse, and you aren’t safe even outside of the EU. SPREAD THE WORD. EU RESIDENTS CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.
I know you guys love to shit on MatPat here, but he made a wonderful and interesting video going into more detail.
