I’ve played almost every game in this series multiple times, but revisiting some of the older titles lately made me realize how much patience they used to demand from us.

The Ezio trilogy had such a completely different vibe, it grabbed you right from the get-go, and Ezio had this effortless charm that made you care instantly. AC3 just completely missed that mark for me. Honestly, apart from Haytham, almost every character felt pretty below average and hard to connect with.

I literally just tapped out and uninstalled AC3 at Sequence 5. I sat through hours of Haytham, Connor’s childhood hide-and-seek phase, and that painfully boring hunting tutorial where you crouch in a bush waiting for deer AI right after your village burned down. By the time I hit Desmond climbing a skyscraper in the rain, I was five hours in and still felt trapped in an interrupted tutorial with zero emotional hook.

It got me wondering about nostalgia versus how these games actually hold up today. What do y'all think? Which game would that be for y'all?

Edit: I played the AC 3 Remastered btw

Among the AIB guys, I believe only Rohan Joshi and Tanmay Bhat have shown up in both seasons so far (correct me if I’m wrong). Between the two, who do you think has had the funniest/most memorable moments? Any particular moment that still lives rent-free in your head?

Next season, I'm thinking of switching things up and running a DMR as my secondary instead of the usual 5.56 spray weapon. I know the game is heavily dominated by the spray meta, and there's a reason people can beam you from almost any range with ARs. But this season, I feel like going a bit old school.

So, which DMR has been the most rewarding for you in terms of consistency, damage, and overall performance?

The way Bobby Deol has evolved as an actor, improving his craft and making better script choices, do you think Sunny Deol could pull off a similar reinvention if he wanted to? Would it lead to the same kind of results? What do y'all think?

Just finished Young Sheldon, and... I'm still heartbroken over George's death. He was one of my absolute favorites.

Overall, I really enjoyed the show. One thing I loved right from the start was the absence of a laugh track, unlike TBBT. It made the humor feel much more natural. I also preferred the early seasons when the kids were still little, their innocence carried so much of the comedy. As the show progressed, it quietly shifted its focus from Sheldon to the rest of the Cooper family, and honestly, I didn't mind that at all. There was some overly stretched drama here and there (subjective, of course), but overall, I'd even put Young Sheldon above TBBT at times.

Favorite characters

1. Georgie – Easily the best character development in the show. I initially thought he'd remain the irresponsible older brother, but he gradually became one of the most mature and responsible characters (despite some questionable decisions 😂). By the end, he completely won me over.

2. George Sr. – Never left my favorites list. Hilarious on the outside but incredibly soft-hearted underneath. Two scenes I'll never forget:

- Comforting Billy after Billy's father left. That scene genuinely made me tear up.

- The tornado episode, where he shields Missy and everything that follows between them. Heartbreaking that he died.

3. Child Missy – The most adorable little bastard on the show. 😂 She stole almost every scene she was in during the early seasons. The church dance scene where Pastor Jeff tells her to stop and she just keeps dancing is still one of my favorite Missy moments. Teen Missy... I had mixed feelings about.

4. Meemaw – An absolute scene-stealer. Savage, hilarious, and her chemistry with Dale was comedy gold. The gambling room storyline was probably my favorite of hers.

Least favorite characters

1. Mary – Her constant need to bring religion into everything really got on my nerves. She also felt heavily biased toward Sheldon while Georgie and especially Missy often got sidelined. She had her good moments, but overall she was my least favorite.

2. Sheldon – This might get me downvoted. 😅 I know exactly why he's written the way he is, and I felt the same about him in TBBT. He definitely had some sweet moments, but for me, they were outweighed by how selfish and obnoxious he could be. That said, he unintentionally delivered some of the funniest moments in the series.

Characters I don't have much to say about

1. Mandy – Arrived pretty late, but she definitely helped Georgie grow into a better man.

2. Pastor Jeff – He existed.

3. Billy – Mostly comic relief, but he had a few genuinely sweet moments.

4. Paige – Always felt mysterious. I wish the writers had explored her character more because she had a lot of potential, and her interactions with Sheldon were always entertaining.

Overall, a really solid series that surprised me in the best way. Came for Sheldon, stayed for the Cooper family. ❤️

Hey folks,

I'm an Indian looking for some good Pakistani horror movies or TV shows. I'll figure out later whether they're available here, so don't worry about that part.

What would you recommend? I'm open to both classics and newer releases. Thanks!
