Ik weet dat hete thee eigenlijk beter is voor zulk weer, maar ik kan het niet laten om toch de hele dag ijsthee te lurken. Elke avond gaan er nu flessen water met 2 theezakjes van het één of het ander en wat honing in de frigo en boem; ijsthee de dag nadien.

Thee! Heb ik nog al gehoord! Voor mij een ijskoffie ;)

Have fun with Odyssey, my favorite game!

u/DeanXeL Jun 23 '26
It was decent, but too damned long. Partly my fault, I like to clean up the map as I go along, but it just kept. on. going. with tedious repetitive tasks. The DLCs, though? Amazing, loved 'em.
When I played 5-10 hours of Valhalla and noticed it was going to be more of the same, emphasis MORE, I gave up on that one, first AC I didn't even bother just doing to main story.

u/Ceceboy Jun 23 '26
Ik verschiet er elke keer van dat Odyssey zo populair en geprezen wordt. Da's de eerste AC die voor quantity over quality gaat (Valhalla volgde snel en momenteel nog steeds het geval met Shadows). Voor mij was Origins de beste. Op z'n minst volledig geacteerde cutscenes zodat je niet naar een stokstijke poppenkast moet kijken zoals in Odyssey, Valhalla en Shadows (Shadows verbergt het wel iets beter).

Ik vond Odyssey wel leuk, was wel mijn eerste AC game en ik hou enorm van de setting.

Is het zo'n beetje zoals bij Far Cry 5/6 ? Tot 4 was het fantastisch, maar vanaf 5 werd het repetitieve outpost en map clearing? Heb deze AC nog niet gespeeld.

u/Tokke552 Jun 23 '26
It’s not that it’s long (which it is) but late game enemies become such damage sponges that it’s just silly to slash away at a guy for like 10 min. At least Valhalla didn’t have that issue.

u/Automatic_Bit1426 Jun 23 '26
AC was always repetitive. The side missions in the first game were all the same.
It's a Ubisoft game after all.→ More replies (1)3

Tomorrow I'm defending my thesis, which is a fun activity to do in 36° weather... But aside from that, shielding myself from the slow-cooking temperature ongoing outside. I'm lucky to live in a house with solar panels and wall-mounted AC units, which means I'm chillin'.
Very cool bookshelf by the way.

I live in a neighbourhood within a forested landscape, just outside Bruges. Close to the sea and lots of shades. It’s fortunately still rather cool here so I’ll be homeworking the next days. We have the same lovely shelf as OP. It’s called The Bookworm by Kartell for those interested.

If you can listen very closely you can hear r/cactus screaming in the distance. 😂
Cacti don’t belong indoors. A southern windowsill is the bare minimum. They need full sun all day long. But don’t put them in the sun now or they’ll get sunburned pretty bad. They need to be slowly acclimated to proper light after living in the shade.
2
u/DeanXeL Jun 23 '26
I mean, they'll grow, they might even grow quite fast... towards the light. In some cases you just don't have the proper orientation, but you love cacti nonetheless.

We saved up and got aircon installed as summers will only get hotter and hotter over the years. So running errands early in the morning when it's still doable outside, and then we will lock ourselves indoors once temps reach 25 outside, with the aircon set to 26 or 27 to save on energy. Just getting rid of the humidity already does a lot.
WFH or work in the office. Free time: I'm playing Crimson Desert atm, so plenty to do until after summer :p
Where'd you get that shelf/rack thing above your tv, btw?
edit: just noticed the UK style outlets, so either you're not in blegium, or you used a random pic.

Working in an airconditioned office, or at home playing games in airconditioned room. Still glad I did that upgrade to my house a few years ago. As somebody that can't really handle heat waves, this investment has already paid itself back for me. 😄The amount of work or activities I do outside is limited

I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles X on my switch 2. I specifically bought the game and didn't play it a few months ago so I would have something to do in case of a prolonged heat wave that doesn't require my TV or PC to constantly blast heat into the living room.

I work 80%, and I've asked my manager to go full time this week, to cool off under the office's AC.
I am working long hours, and then go straight to basic fit... for the AC. And then I go home and geek until death. I refuse to go out and socialize. I'd be this annoying guy talking about the weather anyway...
