Indeed, I wish Shadows took even more from games like @iTenchu and @Thief to lean heavier on its stealth side, making better and more meaningful use of the light/shadow system, which at present often feels inconsequential.

Also, a bit of @Hitman could have gone a long way, allowing the infiltration of castles to study enemies routine, sneak for example in the kitchen, poison the food, and eliminate the target in that way, using combat more sporadically. The true ninja way!

It's that time of year again, when universities run surveys where they ask students what they thought of their instructors. They use the results as "data" regarding teaching effectiveness. This is a completely unscientific and unjust practice and it should stop. A thread.

#DeathStranding’s trailer looks impressive: the gloomy atmosphere of the art style, the overwhelming environmental design and the tense stealth mechanics really animate the dark theme of the game. youtu.be/Z6TD0BIURg0

the new #MilleMiglia login registration is incredibly user un-friendly, lagging and inconsistent. @Alitalia please fix it.
