I never buy games when they first come out because I want to wait and see how they're received (and until the price drops a bit) but AC Shadows is half price on the Xbox store at the moment and I'm considering it.

I remember a lot of people saying it wasn't great and a bit of a disappointment when it first came out. I'm just wondering how it compares now that it's had some time to age a bit + patches, updates, dlc's, etc.

For reference, I like both the original style and the new style (including rpg). I particularly enjoyed the Ezio trilogy, Origins & Odyssey. I don't have a strong interest in Japanese history or mythology to be honest, but as long as the world & story are captivating and interesting, then I'm happy. I can adjust pretty easily to different styles of gameplay.

Let me know your thoughts. Much appreciated.

Hi all,

I've recently become aware of the term 'medical misogyny' and, after the research I've done, it seems obvious to me that this is a real and common experience. So I'm wondering about how I might use my privilege as a man to help women experiencing this, and in which cases it would be appropriate to do so.

For instance, a few years ago I had a female coworker/friend, who I also lived with for a while. We had both relocated to quite a remote area for work, so neither of us had normal support structures around us. I didn't know her particularly well, but we were friendly with each other.

I remember at one point that she was complaining about feeling dismissed by a local doctor. It's only recently dawned on me that I could have offered to help by saying I was willing to go along to an appointment with her and be deliberately demanding/difficult, if she wanted me to. Practically, I feel like this could have improved her chances of being taken seriously by the doctor and receiving appropriate care. However, in principle I feel like this could also potentially have come across as insulting (like I was insinuating that she wasn't capable of handling it on her own).

As a woman, would you have taken this as a nice offer, or would you have found it insulting? I use this scenario specifically because neither of us had close relationships with anyone else in the area. I don't necessarily think I would offer in other circumstances, since she probably would ask someone closer to her if she thought this would have been helpful.

Lastly, are there any other appropriate ways that I could offer to help the women in my life who are experiencing medical misogyny? Or experiencing not being taken seriously in other domains?

Thanks.
