  • 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 to 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.




  • You can open or replace this fake ceiling square by square as behind it you may find some electrical stuff that sometimes needs to be repaired. It’s also probably cheaper.

    It’s kind of the same as the floor in data centers. If you’ve been in one, the floor is a fake floor made of square sort of plastic tiles. Below that you have the cold air that goes into the servers, AC and DC power, fire and water detectors, cables road etc. You need an easy access to those fake floors or ceiling for maintenance.



  • I work in ATC and I’m a gamer. We do recruit some gamers for their competences that are 2000% beneficial to the job, like 3D space representation, stress resistance, quick eye to hand movement and quick thinking (think fast RTS or MOBA for example).

    But honestly I still find it hard to convince management into studying gaming benefits to ATC.

    Most of them still have the boomer reaction, aka:

    “bUt ThEy’Ll ThInK RaDaR iS a ViDeO GaMe!!! ThEy WoNt TaKe iT SeRiOuSlY”

    Between 15 to maybe 30h a week.

    Working shifts in ATC at 80% so it is always different depending on the roastering office, some weeks can be 4 days of work, other could be 5 days off.

    I believe it is officially 28h a week (14 days of 8h a month) but unofficially a working day is around 5 to 6 hours, not 8 (paid pause included, + unlimited sick days + minimum 6 weeks paid vacation. Hooray Europe!)


  • Exactly, and accident in aviation are never because of one factor but rather multiple of them, and Murphy’s law.

    Handling an engine flame out is ok. But in reality it might be an engine flame out + icing conditions + OVC008 + non precision approach + windshear on short final.

    AI pilot would have quit the seat a long time ago, leaving the self loading flesh bags at the rear alone.

    ATC here and the only time we consider an aircraft safe is when it’s at the airport. That’s why slots exists. As annoying as they can be, better have the aircraft on ground at DEP rather than holding to wait for the thunderstorm to pass.



  • 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.





  • I never watch loops videos but this one felt I should, and yeah ok, I also love kingdom in heaven so that was a nice start.

    To answer the question, mine is:

    Do not make assumptions

    From the Toltec Wisdom. They all are important in my life but the one I quoted is the most important to me.

    I am not in your shoes, for example in retail: maybe you had a bad day and are grumpy, or your boss is a cunt and you snapped at me because of that. I won’t make assumptions and keep treating you as a human being.

    So, I’m always trying to “get in your shoes” to understand before making any wrong assumptions, or I just don’t make any and keep on living.

    Edit: FYI, the four agreements are:

    • “Be impeccable with your word”

    • “Do not take anything personally”

    • “Do not make assumptions”

    • “Always do your best”
