This sums up my opinion of the new Assassins Creed. It’s a beautiful world but half the time I can’t actually see anything because I’m either blinded by sunlight or shaded by darkness.

They did an incredibly job finding unique filming locations across Northumberland.

The opening scenes are filmed in the maintenance tunnel beneath the dam at Kielder Water https://maps.app.goo.gl/UypK6WEymBMgVwTp9

The island scenes are filmed on Lindisfarne/Holy Island, although it looks like they’d heavily edited the layout and re-arranged it https://maps.app.goo.gl/HwWQGx6Ciqtqusoq6

River scenes are filmed at Plankey Mill / Allen Banks and Stawards Gorge https://maps.app.goo.gl/d5xcQ961bk9yA5p79

Lindisfarne again. Note the castle has been removed from the background.

I’m not sure where the beach scene is. I’m not aware of a forest right on a sandy beach like this in Northumberland so I suspect it might be heavily edited. They were filming at Matthews Linn in Kielder Forest so there’s a possibility it is here: https://www.bing.com/maps?cp=55.20521~-2.563028&lvl=17.4&style=h

I have no idea where the abandoned house is. They were filming somewhere along the Forest Drive at Kielder so it could be in that area.

The stony beach is just below Hawkhope Car Park by the dam at Kielder Water https://maps.app.goo.gl/YNrGnMepoeeF1fVP8

The following scene with the high concrete walls are filmed inside the spillway beside the dam. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9h2aoLdx9hXfMDdh7

They re-painted this abandoned petrol station at Knowesgate to become the Happy Eater. This is my personal favourite because despite them going for a dystopian, abandoned aesthetic they literally made it look better. https://maps.app.goo.gl/HnfEDbE3nGbxviQ57

Possibly because it’s presented how news used to be - a simple statement of fact without embellishment or click bait.

Would you rather:

You won’t BELIEVE how this weapon built by British boffins can yeet hundreds of Russian drones from the sky in seconds

Even that’s more steps than necessary.

Just serve your website with Caddy and it handles certs for you. The config is absolutely trivial compared to Apache, nginx, etc

If you’re truly unaware of why TLS is necessary or how to automate the process then you should probably retire.

Archaic attitudes like yours are precisely why these restrictions are necessary.

Labour aren’t smart though. They believe FPTP gives them an advantage and thus we’re destined to misery under the conservatives as soon as the party gathers together the resources to bribe farage into disbanding reform

That’s honestly fine. Everybody deserves fair representation.

If we’d had PR a decade ago and the disenfranchised had had a voice in parliament then perhaps we never would have been dragged out of the EU.

And it sounds like somebody on the kernel team reverse engineered the internals of bit keeper so they would have a clear understanding of precisely how it worked - but more importantly the ways that it didn’t suit their workflow

Fireworks had so much potential as a web design app and they threw it away.

Illustrator and InDesign were too focused on print media and Photoshop could barely comprehend anything unless it was rasterized.

That’s not semantic versioning…

There was some discussion of this not long ago: https://feddit.uk/post/24412286

@nutomic@lemmy.ml linked this GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2345

Yeah, I was utterly shocked at the price. £70 to download or £56 on disk.

The last Assassins Creed I played was Odyssey and that was well after release so I paid a far more reasonable £30 or so.

Nano is fine. But Micro is a worthwhile upgrade: https://micro-editor.github.io/

It’s a free to play game, is anyone really surprised they intend to add microtransactions?

I recommend reading the source rather than blog spam: https://insider-gaming.com/ea-adds-microtransactions-to-skates-closed-alpha/

Again, I’m not saying Linux is bad or even at fault for these issues, but these issues exist and I it’s valid that some people don’t wanna deal with it.

You don’t know that these things issues exist because you’ve never tried it.

You even admit at times you’re too lazy to even set these things up.

If you have a highly customised setup you need to accept some responsibility for it and not expect others to test it for you.

This really just shows how inefficient human communication is.

This could have been done with a single email:

Hi,

I’m looking to book a wedding ceremony and reception at your hotel on Saturday 16th March.

Ideally the ceremony will be outside but may need alternative indoor accommodation in case of inclement weather.

The ceremony will have 75 guests, two of whom require wheelchair accessible spaces.

150 guests will attend the dinner, ideally seated on 15 tables of 10. Can you let us know your catering options?

300 guests will attend the even reception. Can you accommodate this?

Thanks,

They’re completely irrelevant to the average person.

If you want absolute perfection then sure, stick with Chrome but implying Firefox on GrapheneOS is insecure is misinformation.

Pretty sure it’s 3rd April

Then why do you want to see it broken up? Monopoly seemed a pretty reasonable assumption.

Steam is hardly a monopoly.

There are plenty of successfully competing stores. The only real thing Steam has going for it is network effect that every gamer has an account therefore it’s decent for socialising, but even that is being challenged by Discord and a multitude of others.

GamePass is probably the closest we’re seeing to a potential monopoly. The purchase of activation should never have been permitted.
