It’s amazing to me how much the Kotaku writers beat this dead horse. The save system is absolutely fine. Not only do you have the potion save, but you can sleep in basically any bed and when you do it saves. If you absolutely need to save and don’t have a potion, get on your horse and fast travel to the nearest…

Definitely agree on Theresa. She starts out as a super strong character (in the first two hours of the game she shrugs off getting sexually assaulted and saves your outta depth ass from getting murdered) and it gosh I felt bad about abandoning her to the Cumans in the first segment. But after a few short (but utterly…

“You don’t get a cookie for not being an asshole or trying to teach other people to not be assholes.”

N’wah!

“or just shit myself to death from eating rancid food”

Oy. Saw something about this on Polygon after I bought the game but it linked to a German language piece so I just had to shrug, sad to know this. One aspect I kinda liked about getting this was supporting indie developers, but if those devs are racist assholes, blerg.

Surprised by the save outrage. If you’re all older gamers (I’m SNES gen) you should be used to this. This game essentially is Fallout Survival Mode from the start, hence the save limitations. Save on rest was pretty common back in the day...

Just got done playing for about 6 hours on PS4 (just outta the prologue!)

I will agree that Bayek is one of the most enjoyable AC protagonists in the series, and as someone who is deeply into classical history, there is still a lot of space for this era to go (it’d be easy to make an AC:O2 with Aya about the Second Triumvirate of Antony, Octavian, and Lepidus. Get the actual suicide of…

As a City fan, this made me love Rio a ton more than I already did. Mad respect for being a commentator and still being engaged like that, even if its supporting my clubs biggest rival.

“David Mamet MMA movie” sounds like something off a fridge magnet set lol. I’m intrigued.

Holy Shit. I don’t watch much Starz, and when I saw the thumbnail of this article on deadspin I was wondering who was on the right side. I never realized that Charlie Murphy dropped that much weight. RIP, a talented comedian :(

Um, I mean, I’m gonna disagree somewhat. I got spanked with the belt once and never again. Then again, I’m fairly conscientious. I think LaVar is perfectly fine here. One spanking is perfectly reasonable.

Um, easier said than done? People have to move inland, but the majority of the human population, including most urban centers, are located on coasts. It’s not just buying a house 1 mile inland, but moving everyone and EVERYTHING inland. All the infrastructure invested over centuries in places like NYC, Istanbul,…

This reminds me of how my friend as playing Horizon this weekend. He didn’t have any experience and was playing on my level 40 save. One of his crucial strategies was to use the mount perk (which gives you unlimited mounts) to send his mount into battle to fight bigger dinosaurs. If it dies, call another. Whenever he…

Ad hominem attack, rhetorical question, rhetorical question.

Honestly, I’m not trying to troll here, my original post was more meant to invite discussion and comparison of the merits of MLK v FDR v AL.

He’d agree with your intent to defend him by belittling others and denigrating women? If that’s the case then I think MLK is not the person you believe him to be.

By those standards, is Karl Marx the greatest German in history for elucidating a theory of common human brotherhood and communal living?

Uhh, Robert E. Lee is most certainly not Hitler. As someone above mentioned, he was considered by every contemporary to be an honorable man, not necessarily wedded to the concept of slavery but rather loyal to Virginia above the Union. He accepted defeat honorably, did little to contribute to the growth of the “Lost…
