You read/hear the term "AC". What's the first thing you think of?

In regular conversation yes, but reading it on a gaming forum will have you mentally primed for something gaming related.
What gaming thing do you think of first when you see "AC"?
Poll up top, but I realized this acronym has a whole lot of gaming things associated with it. Animal Crossing, Ace Combat, Assassin's Creed, Armored Core... I'm curious what pops into everyone's head first. Also I had to specify gaming because I realized the poll would be 90% "air...

This! I'm not the only one that remembers the GOAT mmo. I can leave this thread happy.
My brain is weirdly trained where if I'm on a general gaming board I assume it's Assassin's Creed but if it's Nintendo Centric I assume it's Animal Crossing. Outside of specifically gaming places, I tend to assume it's Animal Crossing, mostly because Assassin's Creed doesn't get mentioned that much this year.
Context matters I suppose. If you're reading a topic of a gaming forum and air conditioning is what pops in your head first, IDK.
But, who am I to talk. Every time I see "LTTP" I think Link to the Past. "Link to the Past: Read Dead Redemption 2," is what I see.
I hate acronyms anyway. Especially here. I literally see new ones I need to google several times a week. People are way to big on acronyms.

Still Assassin's Creed. Though Animal Crossing didn't really hook me. It's still pretty easy to tell which one someone is referring to though. GoW is less so.
Asheron's Call always comes to mind first followed by "Oh, I bet they are actually talking about Assassin's Creed."
Lol I thought I had deja vu when I read this, although I guess the last thread was specifically for gaming. I think my answer is still Assassin's Creed, we don't have much air conditioning in the UK and we usually shorten it to "Aircon" rather than AC whenever we do talk about it.
It completely depends on the context.
On some general gaming forum its Ass Creed.
If I know I'm in some place more Nintendo centric then Animal Crossing
Its pretty obvious when someone is using AC acronym in the context of air conditioning. "Is my AC broke/on/working? How's the AC?" and so on like that.
If I'm looking up electrical shit its alternating current

In the context of seeing it on this forum, definitely game-related and not air conditioners. I don't see that much outside of the Homeowner's thread.
So Assassin's Creed for me. Never played Animal Crossing. So when I see "AC Horizon" or whatever, I get this weird mix-up between Assassin's Creed, Zero Dawn, and Elite: Dangerous.

I only see AC as air conditioning. Ass Creed is how the Ubisoft franchise goes, not out of insult but just shorthand.
I meant to check Air Conditioning but I checked Ace Combat instead by error. Assassins creed is a close 2nd after Air Conditioning
Air conditioning. I live in the Deep South.
In games, though, I immediately go to Assassin's Creed.
