I absolutely loved Black Flag Resynced as my first game in franchise and it really piqued my interest in the rest of the games, which I mentioned in a random post a while ago. After I stated that I wanted to try more AC games, I got comments like "unfortunately you've started with the peak and it's going to make you not like the older games as much." And there were a number of these comments! I've now played 40 hours of Odyssey and several hours of Syndicate and Origins (yeah, I should concentrate on one at a time, but I couldn't help myself!) and I have to say, I've loved every minute of all of them! I can't believe I've gone this long without playing any of these! I'm sure there's got to be some duds in the mix, but so far it's been a great experience!

So for anyone else who started with Black Flag, don't be afraid to try the other ones!

I'm playing ATM10 as my first modpack in years, coming over from FTB and I've forgotten a lot, plus of course a lot of the mods are quite a bit different after all the updates. I'm working on a mining cube with lasers, block placers and breakers, but I've run into one problem. The video I'm copying is using AE2 to transfer the stone into the block placers and I haven't even begun that mod yet. I use a refined storage setup and until I get a cave creeper stone farm or similar stone generation setup, I'm hoping to pull the stone directly out of my RS inventory.

The cube is completely enclosed, so I can't really run a cable into it. I know there's probably a million solutions to this, but I'm having a hard time phrasing it to get the precise answer I need in a search and was hoping someone could give me a simple solution. One thing I'm thinking might work is maybe a quantum entangloporter with an export bus with speed and stack upgrades? Or is there a better solution? I'm at work now, so I haven't been able to try that yet.

Yeah, I'm basically a newbie still, trying to figure everything out, but I'm loving the pack!

Reading a time-loop story set in another world not connected to ours, and one of the characters refers to a "coup de grace". I can usually skip past anachronisms and the like, but this one made my eye twitch! It definitely makes me aware of how easily things like this can slip into my own writing if I'm not careful!

I have every trophy except Coalition Kid and Apocalypse Now and I cannot seem to get them no matter what I do. I have scoured the internet and found no real information other than the basics of what needs to be accomplished to get them. However, I'm also starting to wonder if they're bugged, as I've met the listed qualifications several times with no trophy popping and nobody else has them completed on any of the trophy sites.

I've even spoken to AurochSimon on Discord who was following up with the Dev Team on these trophies, but haven't had a final response yet. I really want to be the first one to get the platinum trophy, so if anyone has any information at all on these ones, I would seriously appreciate it!

I have 1800 hours in this game on my Playstation alone, with more on an older account on PC. Never have I tanked a dungeon with real players in all that time with any of my characters, until today! I have joined the queue a few times here and there, before quickly chickening out and withdrawing to join a Duty Support instead. But today, I finally decided to just go for it, and it was easy!

All the things I was worried about turned out to be non-issues. Wall to wall, no problem, remembering to actually sprint between packs, check! Realizing my worries about my gear holding up were completely irrelevant due to the packs dying so fast that I barely had time to think about it. I know the majority of the dungeons inside and out, having run them a lot as DPS, so that isn't a problem anymore. I realize the later dungeons, not to mention trials and raids are the next step to fully conquer, but I'm a lot less apprehensive about them now and it feels great!

One question I do have however, is how do the main tank and offtank in raids and trials know which one they're going to be? I never see it in any chat logs, and there never seems to be any confusion between them, so is there an indicator of some sort or do they send tells to figure it out?

Working on Healer anxiety next! Playing with a controller, so that might be worse, but I'm more willing to try!

Edit: So many great answers, thanks everyone!

Do you ever find yourself looking at others that also have the Author flair and think that they're all real authors and you're just trying to be part of the club despite having written a book that people seem to enjoy? Is this some sort of new weird variant of Imposter Syndrome that I've created for myself?

Our house was done by a builder that seems to have done a great job with everything except for the basement. We asked for a 200amp panel because we knew we'd have a lot of power demand, so we did get that. However, they wired the entire basement up to one breaker, which keeps popping, despite us removing more and more electronics. I know breakers need to be replaced, especially if they've been overloaded quite a few times, but that doesn't solve the original issue of the builder wiring an entire Rec Room to the one breaker.

So I'm looking for advice on how to handle this without incurring a gigantic bill from an electrician if at all possible. We do have an outlet under the panel that is separate from the Rec Room breaker, but from what I understand, plugging an extension cord in and running it to a power bar is probably a bad idea. I'm guessing the same would be true for a UPS to be plugged into an extension cord? At this point, all I really want to be able to do is to plug in a TV and a PS5 to another breaker source, as it seems like the breaker pops whenever my wife and I are both playing on our PS5s at the same time, but obviously the cords are nowhere near long enough to reach into our furnace room.

Do we have any options that I'm not thinking of to fix this or are we doomed to face a large bill to get it resolved through an actual electrician? It's much too late to talk to the builder about it unfortunately.
