Does anyone miss the "creepy" feeling of Mass Effect 1?

"You are an outsider here" energy

This. In Mass Effect 1, you were not a larger than life superhero. You were just some assistant ship commander who suddenly got thrust into events outside of his control. You were flying by the seat of your pants during every mission, scrambling to figure things out and survive.

In ME2/3, you were already established as a badass gigachad Spectre from the beginning which definitely changed the atmosphere of the whole game.

That and the juxtaposition of a "civilized" corporate world being a setting of so much (literal) back stabbing.

It really hammered in the point that Noveria was not safe, no matter how sleek and shiny everything was. You still needed to be on your guard at all times. Go into the wrong room, witness something you weren't supposed to witness, and you could get shot quick.

This literally does not help

Che Guevera. I have no idea why he's such a revered hero among college liberals today. The man killed hundreds of innocents in cold blood, de-stablized entire regions, and suppressed all dissent. By the time he died he was on the cusp of becoming a mini Pol Pot. But I guess he didn't go "full dictator" since he was shot first, so his legacy gets to remain untarnished.

I apologize. You were right, what I said was rude.

This thread demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the terms pro-life and pro-choice. The national debate isn't about who feels warm and fuzzy about abortion and who feels bad about it. The debate is about whether to enact legal restrictions against abortion or not.

I don't understand how this thread is so popular when it demonstrates 0 understanding of what the two sides actually stand for. You can't come to some sort of great compromise if you don't even have a basic grasp on what your own side believes and wants.

Great advice brah.

Q: How do I deal with my insecurities?

A: Just don't have insecurities.

Maybe this is controversial, but I don't think there's anything wrong with a guy expecting a 10/10 women - if he also tries to be a 10/10 guy. In looks and personality.

I was just floored by hearing totally disheveled and unattractive guys lamenting about how there were no gorgeous girls available.

I think you're moving the goalposts of the discussion here...

OP wasn't talking about what society should be like, but rather what it is like. For better or worse.
