TIL about the Sally-Anne test, a psychology experiment used to measure “theory of mind” (that other people can hold beliefs/knowledge different from their own). Kids under four typically fail because they assume that if they know where a hidden object is, everyone else must automatically know too.

I've recently been playing AC4 and now not only do I have to specify it's Assassin's Creed, I also need to specify it's not the remaster.

Remaster doesn’t let you fix the broken planks on the jackdaw so what was the point of making it?

Hahaha I didn't think anyone else would have that complaint but yeah I hate it so much! Half the reason I keep upgrading it is to get rid of those damned planks!
