But I'm trying!

Today's game is Assassin's Creed Shadows. I finished the main story today and i was expecting to be done today. I got sidetracked though after i found this interesting quest where i'm hunting Yokai. I plan on playing through it tomorrow, so today may be the last screenshot from the game, don't be surprised if tomorrow you see this game one last time though.

After beating the story i got Naoe's Master Assassin Robes, which is something i'm actually really happy to get. Seeing the Master Assassin Robes of the protagonist is one of my favorite parts of a AC Game. They're this really cool red silk material and have a white pattern on them. Overall i really like their design. A fairly memorable design for me, though Arno's still remains the most memorable to me.

After doing the main story i decided to do a sort of Victory Lap (this was before i planned to do the Yokai quest), and i did a Contract job in each region to go back around it. It took me to some regions the main story didn't which was fun to explore. There was the bridge over a pond in the northern most section.

Over by the coast there was also this kind of pond area to. There was a lot of wreckage floating around, which i imagine is probably left over from the War this game takes place over. I spend a good minute just parkour around over the stuff

Finally, To keep today's post from being a Nature Documentary, i also wanted to show off this lady i found playing music. I guess she's a target in some side quest and i stumbled across her on accident. I hung out around her for a minute before taking her out. I made my escape and checked out the tree she's part of. I might do the Assassination tree she's attached to as well, just so i can complete it and see it through.

I hadn't realized this episode had been sitting on my playlist since February.

But it's a long term view on war (defense) in space, and how it's been a favorite but useless toy of more than 1 potus.

And it's even more dystopian & pessimistic than the usual tone of this excellent podcast.

President Donald Trump wants to build an American Iron Dome. He even signed an executive order to make it happen. It’s a terrible idea, one we’ve tried before, and one that will make America less safe.

In this episode, Joseph Cirincione returns to the program to detail his personal history with complicated and costly missile defense systems.
