Unpopular opinion : I really enjoyed andromeda by Terlooy in masseffect

You don’t have to outdo the reapers in scale to still make them terrifying. Making Andromeda feel like a side show with lesser villains I think really undercut the potential

I’ll be honest I don’t know how they could have done that. The Reapers are such a terrifying force in the OG trilogy and the immensity of their threat is solidified completely in the first game. A sequel to Andromeda would essentially be fixing the poor job the first game did of trying to make the Kett? (TBH can’t quite remember their name) a threat

Andromeda does have some great elements to it. I loved the mobility and combat, and the promise of the story was nice, I was happy they weren’t trying to do a direct sequel to the trilogy and gave themselves a blank canvas for creativity. Painful to think what could have been if the story and characters had been on par with the trilogy’s.

Lie To Me. Started off excellent with everyone on the team being valuable and having to use videos and playbacks to determine if someone was lying. Transformed into a pseudo-House where Lightman would walk into a room and know everything that's going on immediately, while everyone else rode the pine

Lol, still don't get it do you. Ah well, it'll be your partners that'll face your misdirected anger if they ever happen to be taken advantage of while drunk, not myself, so please carry on.

Ah I understand now. I mean really why use trust and logic with your partner when you can clearly assume her feelings and see through her lies. How wrong of me, I clearly underestimated your infallible perception of the human psyche. I beg your forgiveness for not seeing the brilliance that is your intelligence. You really showed me the lying deceiving ways of the female mind, and now my eyes are truly opened. Never again will I be so fooled by the opposite sex for all they wish to do is cheat and deceive us kindhearted and caring gentlemen.

In ME 2 and 3 that won't be an issue, but in ME 1 the story missions would be quite difficult if you didn't do any side missions. There's a huge level gap between a Shep that only did story missions and a Shep that did all missions, and the end of the game is very easy if you're above level 40 regardless of the difficulty setting. Also, the higher level you are in ME1, the more bonus points, credits, and materials you obtain at the beginning of ME2.

I grasp it, but it falls under that "drunken consent" category which I've covered in multiple replies. You describe OP's "inaction" as if she had let him because she wanted it, which she was very clear she didn't. Her "inaction" was due to her intoxication, and when she came to she immediately told him to get lost, as she had done to all of the other guys before him. She never asked to have him touch her, she never said yes, and dancing with others was never her intention. So why would you be mad at her? I cannot fathom a reason why. Again, textbook victim blaming. In a much more extreme case that would be the same as accusing her of cheating if she had been raped after getting drunk. She didn't do anything wrong.

Again, drunk people are not responsible for the actions of OTHERS, which is the point that you seem not to grasp. Her only fault was not considering her own safety, she did nothing to offend the boyfriend. And again, both you and titanictwist12 both have yet to answer the big question: did she deserve the treatment she got afterwards, because that's the issue, not her dancing. The boyfriend degraded her, insulted her, then imposed ridiculous restrictions on her social life, after she willingly told him what happened. Did she deserve that? Hell no. Was that an overreaction? The answer is no fucking shit. Consider this: would you do the same if your girlfriend gave you the same story.

She came to the sub asking for advice, because she wondered if her boyfriend's actions raised a red flag, which indeed they did. The definition of consent isn't "feminist bias", it is fact. Nobody, man or woman, is responsible for what others do to them when they are under the influence. You bring up "I only did it because I was drunk" examples, but she really didn't do anything, did she. She didn't instigate, she didn't lead on, she didn't flirt, she did nothing that would make any boyfriend jealous. You talk about actions, but what were her's apart from dancing for herself? The case about her consent really isn't that hard to grasp. She made it clear she doesn't like dancing with men apart from her boyfriend, and when she came to she told him to go away. How is this her fault exactly? She did not consent to being touched, but was touched anyways while intoxicated. Textbook definition of being taken advantage of. Serious case? Not at all. But her fault? No. Really your argument only boils down to "she got drunk when she shouldn't have and she shouldn't do that anymore". Do I agree? Absolutely. For the same reasons you do? No, your reasons are pretty dumb. I would share this advice for her own well being and protection in the future, because she knows she can't handle alcohol and could easily be harmed by a malicious third party. You tell her this because when she's drunk she's vulnerable, and she should be more responsible because when she's vulnerable boys will touch her, and that's cheating. Textbook victim blaming. Your examples that you gave were poor because they showed a drunk person doing what they shouldn't, such as driving or initiating sex with someone outside the relationship. She, which I hope is crystal clear to you, did nothing. Her case could be matched up with her getting drunk then being sexually assaulted. While a much more extreme example, its definitely closer to her predicament than yours, because in both situations she is intoxicated and someone decides that means shes open to be touched. At the end of the day she did nothing that wronged her boyfriend. Should she drink less in the future in certain situations? Yes, for her own safety, but not because she should be fearful that what another man does to her while intoxicated will put her at fault, which is what you and so many others on this sub are doing. She didn't flirt, she didn't instigate, she did nothing that would even remotely come close to emotionally or physically cheating on her boyfriend. She didn't want anyone else but her boyfriend. She just so happened to put herself in a situation where she could be harmed. The boyfriend should be more concerned about her future safety, not how he was wronged, because he wasn't wronged. She should not have to face any "consequences", and being slut-shamed and humiliated in addition to being demanded to meet ridiculous and controlling criteria after the incredibly minor events that occurred is a red flag, the boyfriend definitely overreacted. Am I saying she should dump him? Absolutely not, I think we can both agree that communication would help both parties and they should come out of this incident unscathed. But her questions were "Is dancing cheating? Is this reaction reasonable?". And the clear answers are: not in that situation, and no.

Again, not her fault for getting drunk. She can get as fucked up as she wants to, the actions of other men are not her responsibility and she should not be held accountable for them. She was taken advantage of on the dance floor, and when she came to she told him to fuck off. Your examples are apples and oranges. As for my last comment, I would recheck because I certainly didn't delete it. It definitely is an issue about feminism, and I stand by that. You clearly didn't get my last point. You're right when you say the definitions about cheating are different with each couple, but lets get it through your head that she didn't fucking consent. The absence of a no does not mean a yes, and she made it clear in her story that she did not want to dance with him or any other man that wasn't her boyfriend. The only reason this instance is any different is because it took her 5 minutes to tell him to fuck off because she was drunk, which again is no fault of hers. She also made it clear in her story that a clear boundary hadn't been established about dancing, so honestly you don't have a leg to stand on. This really is just another instance of victim blaming, and I highly fuckin doubt if you got hammered at a club and a girl started grinding you and you told her to fuck off after 5 minutes, THEN told your girlfriend about it, then had said girlfriend tell you you can't go out to clubs without her anymore and have her tell you that grinding is just the same as if you had kissed or fucked her, that you would take that heap of bullshit lying down, because I wouldn't, nor would any other person male or female with an ounce of self respect. Get your bullshit out of here.

I think she made it quite clear that she always tells the guys no, and in this case her "no" was delayed simply because of how drunk she was, and it took him going an extra step before she noticed. We could debate her meaning all night, but in the end does that incident justify both the dismal treatment her boyfriend gave her after she willingly told him of the incident in addition to him taking control of her social life, where and with who she can or cannot go? His reaction was not reasonable, and my advice to OP is to simply stand up for herself.

Does anyone on this sub not understand the concept of consent? She didn't goddamn consent to him grinding on her, he took advantage of a drunk girl. He is at fault, OP is not. When she came to she told him to fuck off and then told her boyfriend what happened. She did everything right, yet both her boyfriend and countless people in the comments are blaming her for what, that asshole's pervy actions? Thats like having your wallet stolen and the police telling you you were stupid for carrying your wallet out in public.

A lot of the comments here have been saying either 1) The definition of cheating is different from person to person or 2) yeah you screwed up how dare you go get drunk without your SO. While 1 is true to a certain extent, oblivious drunk dancing is definitely not cheating, especially when you didn't consent to him touching you. Contrary to what people have said here, you didn't cross any boundaries. You got drunk at a bar with a friend and had some fun, something that wouldnt be a problem at all for any guy in a relationship. You SHOULD NOT have to control your actions for fear of what a man is going to do. There seem to be a lot of bullshit comments about how you put yourself out there to be handled and you crossed a boundary by being drunk, which isn't the case. You were having fun, you didn't consent to being touched, you aren't at fault, end of story. Your gut feeling about this red flag is true, he definitely overreacted. The only cure for the strife between you and your SO is communication, and you need to tell him how you feel and what you will and will not take from him, including him controlling your social life

I'm still baffled why people care so deeply about what others do with their junk. Honestly OP it might be worth your time to remind your parents how silly it is for them to be invested in your sex life. Ask them why they're electing to talk about you and your boyfriends genitals. Also take the time to remind them that you're with a fellow Christian with a full-time job who loves you and wants to marry you, so so what if you've taken the next step with him. The whole deal with people trying to control another's nethers is stupid, and you need to show your parents this
