I'm have the exact opposite reaction right now. I stopped buying Ubi games years ago, but through give aways I got Assassins Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla for free. I never touched them until recently when a friend started playing through Odyssey and was talking about how much fun he was having. I installed Origins and played though it (because I can't skip games in a series) and I kinda enjoyed it. Then I played Odyssey and it blew me away with how much fun I had. I'm on to the second DLC of it, and when I'm done I'll start up Valhalla.

As far as Far Cry games go, though, I haven't enjoyed one since 3.

Self-reliance is a skill that everyone should have, but it should no longer be a necessity. If we can bail out corporations to the tune of trillions, then we should be able to ensure the welfare of all citizens, not just the 1%.

Cthulu vs a Xenomorph, I still think Cthulu takes it.

He brought his dream journal to school for show and tell but the other kids made fun of him for it. "You think my dreams are funny? Let me see yours..."

I wear British Knights... So, I guess I have some dragons overdue for killing.

Thankfully Omeprazole keeps me from choking on my own acid now, but yeah, that sucks.

I just take it once a week and it keeps it in check. Before I started, I would wake up every night literally drowning in stomach acid and unable to breathe. When I first started taking it, I was taking it daily, but I always felt REALLY bloated, like I was going to explode. I cut off of it and found that the effect lasted for a week or more, and I started just taking it once a week, and I've been fine ever since.

And today we read from the Book of Sony, Chapter 2005, verses 10-11: Sony BMG quickly released software to remove the rootkit component of XCP from affected Microsoft Windows computers, but after Russinovich analyzed the utility, he reported in his blog that it only exacerbated the security problems and raised further concerns about privacy. Russinovich noted that the removal program merely unmasked the hidden files installed by the rootkit but did not actually remove the rootkit. He also reported that it installed additional software that could not be uninstalled. In order to download the uninstaller, he found that it was necessary to provide an e-mail address (which the Sony BMG Privacy Policy implied was added to various bulk e-mail lists) and to install an ActiveX control containing backdoor methods (marked as "safe for scripting" and thus prone to exploits). Microsoft later issued a killbit for the ActiveX control.

On November 18, 2005, Sony BMG provided a "new and improved" removal tool to remove the rootkit component of XCP from affected Microsoft Windows computers.
