I can agree to disagree on this, as I think it's just an edgy title name for attention grabbing, as is the marketing game. The Skull and Bones title can draw attention to the secret soceity, or it could be a ploy to bury it. However, I will say this.

Ubisoft HQ is a French company. Skull and Bones started as a DLC to Assassin's Creed 4, a part of the Assassin's Creed franchise published and developed by Ubisoft Montreal, a French-Canadian company. Skull and Bones is being developed by Ubisoft Singapore, an Asian company.

Some other Ubisoft subsidiaries that have touched Skull and Bones:

Ubisoft Berlin: Focuses on co-developemnt

Ubisoft Chengdu: Chinese branch that focuses on Chinese localization

Ubisoft Kyiv: Focuses on porting games to PC

Ubisoft Paris: A core in-house developer branch. Since they were the main players behind Breakpoint, they are probably the monetzation team.

Ubisoft Philippines: A sister company to Ubisoft Singapore, and mainly helps them develop games.

I see no American subsidiaries in here that would have sway to bury the Skull and Bones Society.

With the way Ubisoft is hyping it up, I don't think it will have the staying power to be a detractor either.

First off, it's live service. Those games, as much as I want them to die, are nothing more then a way for companies to nickle and dime you. It's a storefront with a game attached to it. Second, it's a Ubi title. I know for damn sure that it's going to get it's burst of players, they see the egregious monetization, and leave in droves, leaving only whales and die-hards who wanted this game.

The other side of the coin though, is that the wiki article for the Skull and Bones Society is also still on the first Google page, and after hype dies down, I don't think that will move anywhere else.

As someone who is in the gaming sphere as both a long time gamer and amateur dev, this is not the case. The game has been in development for 11 years.

I do agree Ubisoft is now a shit company, and haven't bought a game form them since Ghost Recon: Wildalnds. However, this being a coverup of secret societies is NOT what this game is. It's a soulless cash grab.

I feel like I was taught this in elementary school.

The thing about arguments. As soon as someone starts swearing at you, when you yourself have not done any of the sort, means you hit a nerve.

I never mentioned blood clots, just thicker blood due to dehydration. It was late last night when I posted, and there is no link to the article, so I couldn't read it. I was just going off the known info I had, which is from wilderness survival books and stories.

Without the context of the article, here is my two cents: Yes, your blood does thicken as you dehydrate, and extreme heat will lead you to dehydrate quicker.

There is some truth in the headline, just carry around a bottle of water when you are outside for extended periods of time. As long as you stay hydrated.

I think this has to do what Elon tweeted earlier, that they were limiting the amount of posts you can view a day depending on account age and verification. People are all up in arms about how this stifles free speech.

If you are a verified account,you can only view 6000 posts a day. To be honest, unless you are chronically online,you should come no where near that cap.

I think this is just a way to tell the Twitter Freaks to "go touch grass"

Trudeau ain't gonna be happy.

If that is true, this spills over into Southern Ontario, where I live. Shit...

Ah okay, thank you :)

As someone who is outside the USA, I always assumed that Bed, Bath, and Beyond was as furniture store of some kind. Is that what it is?

Ah, okay. Sorry. ^^;

I'm not condoning it, as we should ask question about these events. I am just pointing out that this addition to Twitter was done before Musk bought and owned the platform.

This information is three, almost 4 months old. This was implemented BEFORE Elon took over twitter: https://twitter.com/SimonHButler/status/1555199001233956865

Well said. They are things we know happened/witnessed. You can;t deny they ever happened cause they did. You can question the validity of the story you a given, though.

We all knew this was going to happen. They always do this

I played this game when it came out. It was a fun little games for what it was.

The big premise is that, as the trailer here explains, is that oil deposits all over the world ran out, and since there was no alternative that worked as well, society as we know it crashed, and caused all this chaos.

Thing is, in reality, there is still oil in the ground, tons of it. Only issue is that the the cult says it's evil and polluting to drill it up and use, so it sits there, untapped. If we were able to tap them, we would have our own oil where we didn;t import it form other countries, effectively making gas cheap as hell. THAT would hurt their bottom dollar, so they let it sit.

What I want in life is to have a job where I can work from home. It may sound selfish, but hear me out. I am currently working on 3 different projects to achieve that, so that when I do find a girlfriend/wife, I can be there for my kids and her if they need me. My significant other can work or be a stay at home mom, doesn't matter. I want to be the dad who can wake up early, get some work done, see the kids off to school, really buckle under while they are gone, and then be there for them in the afternoon until they go to bed.

I want to be the family man, if you catch what I am putting down.

While most of this is true, I do have one counter point: Bicycles won't burst into flames randomly.

Blood Plague...

I saw a meme video of a guy in a mall's food court, and there were 6 Starbucks all in the same area. It could also be because of over bloat.

I would say most evil thorough history is done by incompetence. Not all, but most. Sometimes you would see a puppet-master above these incompetent people, using their delusions of grandeur to their own ends.

The latter is what we are seeing in our current historic times. We have a bunch of people desperate for power, being controlled by people behind the curtain to further an agenda of a BBEG (Big Bad Evil Guy, for those who don't speak in TTRPG terms). They will say whatever is written in front of them, and follow what they are told to do. If the plan goes off the rails, go into hiding until new marching orders are given, and follow those. Some will try to usurp power, but will be quickly cut down and brought back in line...or worse.

There are a lot of fools who play Rust then XD

I wasn't talking about regulation, I was talking about money and how they are obsessed with it. Even if a well or rain barrels came into play, you would have to boil it and filter it for it to become potable. I am glad for all the innovations for us to have water on tap, but you have to understand that things are getting tighter and expensive thanks to these regulations and stuff. They don't care about the layman, just themselves.
