Definitely get what you mean by the jank. Apparently the studio is working on a second one so hopefully starting from scratch they’ve learned their mistakes and can remove a lot of the Jank

we almost did Zomboid but I had to reinstall it lmao. It’s a little difficult for a first Survival game imo. The very early game, at least for me, was a lot of micromanaging. Having a second player made it a bit more bearable, but it’s still pretty rough

It looks fun, i feel like the roster is really starting to get bloated though if we’ve reached the point where a dead fish and cow were needed to be made into characters just to meet the roster quota

Shadows is honestly the most fun i’ve had with an AC game in the longest time. The stealth is so much fun to pull of, it makes me feel like i’m back in Unity

JC3 is fun to just spend hours dicking around in, or seriously investing it with the gameplay. It’s honestly amazing how good of a game they made around the concept of “blow up some shit, and then blow up some more shit”

There’s a hairdryer? I’ll have to keep an eye out for one because if it gets louder than the Air Horn i’d love to have it lol

I just cropped it too cut out people’s usernames lol

i’ve considered taking a break a few times or just “freezing” the day count, not because of burn out or anything but because i was just unsure if i could work with my schedule lol. I’m hesitent to take a break though because it kind of feel disingenuous and I’ve ended up working around my schedule each time. If i were to take a planned break though, i think a year would be the perfect point to do it

Without spoilers, i’m really enjoying it. It simplified the lengthy RPG mechanics the older games had, and the story is a major improvement imo. Stealth is also way more prevalent here (but if you preferred the Valhalla route of combat mainly you can do that too). Parkour is awesome too, but the wilderness could use some work. It still inherits a few flaws from the RPG titles, but it’s very much a return to form for the franchise

someone the other day suggested removing it because by day 250 something the chances i forgot would be slim. I was initially hesitant to do it, but ended up doing it just because it’s a lot better of a title. The rules are very much still “Until i forget”

It’s a bit of the same, it returns a lot closer to the older AC Games though. For example, a lot of the mythology aspect is removed, and the side quests are a lot closer to the older Assassination Missions. It still uses the framework from the RPG games though (though it’s been heavily simplified from the tree that Valhalla had)

I could only read a little bit until the site cut me off asking for a subscription, but this seems great. I would still majorly prefer if it was public, but even if it’s preserved somewhere the chances of it becoming lost become a lot lower

The world could always use more fishing games

I had a 1 TB one I used for the longest time. My only complaint is that it never played well with any of my Linux devices (Steam Deck randomly decided it was done reading it and I had to unplug it and my Bazzite device just locks up)
