AC Valhalla. I’ve recently finished odyssey and I wanted to play another “turn off the brain checklist open world game”

It’s very rough around the edges (bugs, clipping, clunky movement) and it got me frustrated time and time again, but the thing I’m disliking the most are the frequent and mandatory raids. If I wanted a full fledged action game I’d be playing wukong or some shit.

Enabling insta-kill assassination from the accessibility options is what’s been saving the game for me.

I’m also considering about lowering the difficulty. The second hardest one is making the enemies unreasonably tanky, which does not bode well with the shittiest healing system I have ever seen in a videogame.

I’ll add another one: get to them from the miconids village, do not engage them from the lower ground by the lake.

Once you’re done that, destroy the stairs first and push them down afterwards. You won’t believe how easy this fight gets.

Or you know, you could always lower the difficulty. No shame in doing so

Thank you

I bought crosscode some months ago on GOG and I’m slowly working through it.

I’m constantly amazed at how it feels like a grand AAA mmorpg. The complexity of the maps is astounding (sometimes at a fault) and there is a lot of stuff to do. A tales of grindea on steroids, if you will

Strongly recommended if you enjoy the genre

I bought it some time ago but I kind not got into it, and it saddens me because I only hear good things about it.

Any advice?

Printing on Linux has been seamless for me so far, unlike windows and macos

Yeah, Earthbound was definitely the major inspiration for masterpieces such as Undertale and Omori

Yeah. The game’s incipit is (spoilers ??? Literally the first five minutes of the game) >!Wukong just wants to chill on his mountains, but the other gods fear him and kick his ass. Decades, centuries or maybe millennia has passed, and now you, a monke from his village (arguably his reincarnation), are tasked with finding a way to reawaken him!<

It’s a good action with some souls mechanics (not a soulslike though), crazy good graphics, bosses and enemy variety. Should also be decently optimized for pc

Plot wise is basically a fan sequel of Journey to the west. If you aren’t familiar with that don’t expect to understand shit about what’s going on.

The only real tangible issue is mediocre map design (very simplistic and linear) and (some say) some balancing issues.

In short, if you enjoy 3d actions and/or souls you’ll probably have you money’s worth.

You could. It depends on whose narration you trust

Many distros are better than ubuntu nowdays. PopOS happens to be one of those

Absolutely agree. It’s counterintuitive, but waking up earlier than you need to and start your day slowly actually makes you feel more rested and calm (provided you’ve still slept sufficiently)

Kaspersky has faced controversy over allegations that it has engaged with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB)—ties which the company has actively denied. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security banned Kaspersky products from all government departments on September 13, 2017. In October 2017, subsequent reports alleged that hackers working for the Russian government stole confidential data from the home computer of an American National Security Agency contractor via Kaspersky antivirus software. Kaspersky denied the allegations, reporting that the software had detected Equation Group malware samples which it uploaded to its servers for analysis in its normal course of operation.[13] The company has since announced commitments to increased accountability, such as soliciting independent reviews and verification of its software’s source code, and announcing that it would migrate some of its core infrastructure for foreign customers from Russia to Switzerland. In November 2020, Kaspersky finished relocating the data of its customers from Russia to Switzerland.[14][15] The company has also opened multiple transparency centers in Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, Spain and Malaysia which allow state agencies, government experts and regulators to review its source code.[16][17]

I agree and I also support the “common sense is the best av” argument, but for less tech savy people and workplaces I do think it’s necessary to have a last hope safety net against malware

I was curious whether some scandal about data being sent to russian govt had emerged after the war, but apparently things are as they used to be.

Mind you, AVs have a scary control over your system, and I totally respect not wanting to use one headquartered in Russia (and since the government security agencies have ties within those companies even in the “free world” (lmao) it’s safe to assume Russian govt has them inside Kaspersky too).

With that being said, kaspersky is actually a multinational corporation present in many areas of the world, I wonder how much influence Moscow actuallt has over them.
