Read the news today, I decided to translate this poem I learned in grade 5. It is called "Emily, con..." The poem was in Vietnamese. It was about Norman Morrison, a man who self-immolated in front of the pentagon in protest of the Vietnam war.

Emily, come with me  When you grow up, you know the way, you won't get lost  “Where are we going, Dad?” To the Potomac  “What are we looking for, Dad?”  Nothing dear, only the Pentagon  O my child, round are your eyes O my child, gold are your strands  Don’t ask me much, yeah?  I'll take you out, you will be with Mom tonight  Washington  Twilight  O poor souls  Remain or lost  Blazing truth! Johnson! Your crimes weigh heavy  Humanity detests  The yellow demon of this Earth  You cannot borrow red blood Of Christ, and yellow of Buddha  McNamara Where are you hiding? In the graveyard  Of the pentagonal building  Each corner for a continent  You still hide your head  In flame Like an ostrich buried in scorching sand Look! Look at me now! It’s only me with my daughter in my arms  I am today And my daughter, Emily, you are forever!  I stand tall  With a great heart  Of a hundred million people  Of America To set fire to the horizon  A torch  Of justice.  All of you, a pack of devils In whose name?  You bring B-52s Napalm, mustard gas From the White House  From Guam  To Vietnam To assassinate peace and national freedom  To incinerate hospitals and schools  Kill the people who only know love Kill the children who only know school Kill the green fields of four seasons  And even kill the rivers of poetry and art! In whose name?  You bury our youth in coffins  O our strong and beautiful men  Who can turn nature into electricity and steel  For the happiness of the people!  In whose name?  You bring us to jungles Spiked pits, swamps of resistance  Villages turn hidden fortresses Night and days, heaven moves and Earth shakes… O Vietnam, how strange are you Children become heroes Wild bees become warriors Flowers and fruit become weapons! Die, die  All of you, a pack of devils Listen! My fellow Americans!  To the voices of pain, of eternal hatred Of a son. Of a person of the century Emily, my dear! It’s getting dark…  I cannot take you home anymore When the flame ignites Mom will come find you tonight  You will hug and kiss her  For me And tell her:  “Dad went in peace, please don’t cry.” Washington  Twilight  O poor souls  Remain or lost  It’s time, my heart burns bright  I set myself alight The blazing truth.

"Assassin's Creed Valhalla now has 44 percent more players life-to-date than Assassin's Creed Origins and 19 percent more than Assassin's Creed Odyssey on a comparable basis, with materially higher revenue per player, leading to life-to-date net bookings up respectively +82 percent and +61 percent,” Ubisoft said.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/16/23725583/ubisoft-assassins-creed-investing

Remember when Reddit was awash with fanboys saying Mirage was a win for going back to its roots and I laughed and said they used word salad to dilute the fact Mirage WAS NOWHERE NEAR Valhalla levels (and why would it be? It's a Valhalla DLC that should have stayed one and the narrative director intentionally tried to turn it into a fanboy nostalgia game with subpar writing, recycled mechanics, and extremely linear and short gameplay that left everyone feeling short-changed)?

"Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which was said to be on par with past successful launches such as Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey currently stands at 5 million players (estimated $250m in revenue)."

https://insider-gaming.com/inside-ubisoft-from-low-morale-to-internal-tensions/

So first of all, I doubt that is better than Odyssey or even in line. I'm not even sure that is in line with Origins. Second, Valhalla had 20 MILLION players as of what, 2021? Revenue of what, a billion, by the end of 2021?

Maybe one day you'll all realize the trilogy was massively successful, and popular....fanboys, you've got to stop hating everything that's new because you think your nostalgia games are just, objectively, better.

Black Flag getting a remake before AC1 says a LOT about the reality of AC as a franchise. You know, the one you all called "pirate creed" and now pretend you loved it all this time.

Kind of like how you pretend you love Unity and Syndicate and you hated them into oblivion.

And Ubisoft, maybe the actual appeal of Valhalla was Eivor and not Basim. In fact, a lot of us hated him. You'll could have even gone the Hytham route and it would have been more appealing to Valhalla fans as a whole.

Another example ☝️

I love this bullshit from journalists. Mirage falls off the table and they try and save it with "well it is more liked by the community than Valhalla" UH, NO. Get off Reddit and look at actual data. The community is not just the fanboys who are chronically online complaining about the trilogy. Gaming journalists need better, more informed takes than this.
