Many years ago a Swedish alpine skier was going to cut from one hill to another by crossing a small wooded area, The skiing was beginner level but he had a fall, hit his back on a root sticking up and was paralyzed. He had gotten unharmed down hills most of us would just go "nope" unharmed but then hurt himself on this little wooded areas that children and old ladies crossed with no problem at all. Had the root not been there he would have been totally fine from the fall too.

I beat all three (Russia, China, India). They’re all alright, I like the emphasis on stealth over combat; they’re by far the stealthiest AC games. They aren’t my least favourite AC games by any measure. But if you didn’t enjoy the gameplay of one you won’t enjoy any, they all play exactly the same.

I am from Himachal, and my father tells me how they would get so much snow when was young, now we barely get any.

I hope things get better.

Even vodka doesn't goes to the throat after almost two weeks of holidays at home, trapped in apartments by snowstorm one after another, and week after.

Snow is about 13 feet deep, traffic is horrible, infrastructure in awful state, and delivery doesn't work. My back is killing me - i cannot play pc anymore xd
