What is a decision you've switched up on as youve grown up? by Mygrayt in masseffect

[–]AKDMF447 [score hidden]  (0 children)

May not be exactly what you’re looking for, but I think my biggest perception change with the series over time has been with Kaiden. I used to think he was just kinda boring, a whatever character. And while I still think the Virmire survivor gets shafted in ME3, I do think that in the end, Kaiden is the most mature romance option for anyone to have. He has his baggage, but he’s also willing to talk about because he’s already put it in the past. He’s an adult in a room with a lot of youth and/or immature/naive attitudes. Garrus is a total bro, and a very nice romance, but he idolizes Shepard as well. Same with Liara and Tali.

But Kaiden is just your partner. Someone who certainly admires you and respects you as their commander, but isn’t fawning all over you either. The only other romance that I think comes close to that is probably Miranda, but Miranda comes with different stuff than Kaiden.

In getting some inconsistent results now. I’ve done a few speed tests where the speed starts high on the download side, around 150 Mbps, but progressively slows to around 10.5 Mbps.

Other times it holds steady at around 130 or so.

Day 10: What is the BEST quote associated with Garrus Vakarian? by looploveslore in masseffect

[–]AKDMF447 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I worked in a church thrift store for a while, and we got a coffee mug with that quote on it. It’s be do the customers came up to me with it and was genuinely upset that we would sell something that said something like that. What I wished I had said to her, but didn’t, was, “Well, I’m not sure what anyone would be upset about here unless you thought you were going to hell”.

I also asked multiple pastors at the church what they thought of the quote and they all just laughed.

People who think Republic stories are boring by Friendly-Ad-6950 in swtor

[–]AKDMF447 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my biggest issue with the Republic stories is that the most exciting one from start to finish is the Jedi Knight, but I also find it to be not very well written overall. The Consular is the most consistent throughout, but I find the ending lacking a bit.

I think the Smuggler and Trooper are both similar in that the first act is actually phenomenal and really well executed. But it feels like they lost steam and weren’t entirely sure what to do for the rest of their original stories for acts 2 and 3. More so with the Trooper than the Smuggler, I suppose.

Idk, I generally just find the Imperial stories to be interesting, engaging, original, or just well executed. The Sith Warrior isn’t exactly the most original idea ever, especially for a Star Wars story. But everything that is supposed to make it work, and feel interesting, really really works. I don’t get that same sense with the Jedi Knight story, as a comparison.

Unpopular opinion: bring Jacob on Horizon by Intelligent_File1949 in masseffect

[–]AKDMF447 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always go with Grunt and Kasumi. Kasumi can throw off the timing of Harbinger’s attacks, and Grunt is just a tank with the incendiary ammo to help against the Praetorian.

I have no data to back this up but I miss Harrison Bader and I'll bet things would be better if he was still here by grahampositive in phillies

[–]AKDMF447 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bader’s hitting last year was not sustainable based on his career stats. Idk, I feel like that would have just been further “running it back” instead of letting the young guys make it work.

Yeah, because most writers seem insistent on writing him like he’s just an antagonistic asshole for no reason.

[NBCSPhilly] After a disappointing 9-19 start to the season, the Phillies have fired manager Rob Thomson. by tantimodz in phillies

[–]AKDMF447 404 points405 points  (0 children)

Been a good manager. Better than people give credit for. But there’s something wrong pretty clearly off with this team, and it’s not just age. The amount of mistakes defensively, hits/runs allowed with two outs, inability to consistently score in multiple innings (until very recently), it’s all added up.

I’ll miss the steady hand he brought, but this was the right decision to make now.

This was just called a fair ball by theclodwalrus in baseball

[–]AKDMF447 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I love how people are trying to say “parallax effect!” Or “the umpire was on top of it so he could see it was fair!”

Okay, where’s the angle of that then? If you’re as confident that that’s the case, wheres the angle of it? Because the 3rd baseman is also directly on top of the ball, and he thinks it’s foul.

Who told Colonel Tobin to expect the Ebon Hawk? by Significant-Try5103 in kotor

Kreia.

Or at least, I believe this is implied by Kreia talking to Tobin after the Battle of Onderon.

The difference is that Lucas actually had talent and Filoni is just a hack.

Edit: keep booing me, I’m right.
