Review: Assassin's Creed: Brahman

I think this is my favorite comic story to date. While you do have the who assassin/templar thing going on, the protagonist is just a regular Joe Schmoe working for Abstergo. His significant other is of an Assassin heritage (something she doesn't know) and ultimately becomes a victim of a centuries-old feud. In the end, you see the collateral damage done by this difference in philosophy.

This was an OK story. Reading it made me wonder if they had more in mind as a continuation to this, or if it just fizzled. It wasn't bad, but it was also not super exciting.

Fun continuation to the first volume. The animus components of the story take place in the Incan Empire during the Spanish invasion. This is not addressed in the comic book or the lore, but I'd love to get more background as to how the Assassin Order's numbers dwindled (or were they always low?...)

Interesting story! Felt a lot like a Titan series novel, but being set in Picard (and probably in a different 'universe') there were notable differences in crew composition on the Titan. I'd gladly read more Titan stories set in the TV universe.

Interesting story. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the past life/animus sequences take place in Salem during the Salem Witch Trials and the hysteria that ensued. Of course, it was all a templar ploy ;-) I do like that at the end of the individual comics they've collected a bit of the actual history, which is a nice nod to the animus database.

Well...that was an interesting ending... It wasn't bad, but it did feel very nihilistic. I suppose the opposite view might be a continuous renaissance, but still, it felt a bit bleak. Overall throughout this series, I felt that we were witnessing the increasingly bad decisions of humanity. It was still a good read, but oh man. The facepalms and the "WTF"s were constant.

Wednesday, Jun 22 2022, 14:25 Greece, Work, Δουλειά, Ελλάδα, Εργασίες, διαφήμισηGot this ad on facebook recently. Greece is trying to woo back Greeks living abroad with jobs that exist in Greece (😂LOL). I ain't gonna lie. I would be tempted to move if the right job came along, but I seriously doubt they can match salaries. Some video ads I've seen tend to focus on the way of life as a perk of being in Greece, but no one mentions how difficult it is to get actual work completed when dealing with public offices, banks, and other "little" every day things that impact your quality of life. I don't even know if the internet and other infrastructure elements are at a level needed for people moving back and being digital nomads.
