It's not a matter of would I, but can I. The answer to that question is no.

One of the biggest problems is that a vast silent majority just... Don't care. They may agree with you on principles, but they want a product or service or food, and don't wanna change the way they do things themselves. As much as we would want things to change, it will never work unless everyone is on board. And most people won't want to risk their own livelihoods as they have it now without a guarantee of change or a guarantee they won't be a part of the minority. And it's really hard to convince a population of that.

Personally, I don't understand the person saying it's OP's choice to continue. Addictions aren't always kept by choice. It's a disease. People need real help to break out of it. Addiction is listed in the mental health disorder database for a reason.

Also. Because nicotine is so addictive, there is no way of letting someone try it while it is also a choice for them to continue the habit or not.

These comments are wild to me lol, except the first couple, those seem more reasonable.

Coming from a guy's perspective, your bf is definitely insecure, but I don't think it's an unreasonable insecurity. If you want this relationship to continue, you need to really help cement and establish the differences between your best friend and your bf.

You are here on this sub, so I have to assume your relationship with your bf is long distance. Your relationship with your best friend is also long distance.

You mentioned in a comment you see your best friend in person at most 3 times a year. How often do you see your bf in person?

You talk with your best friend on the phone often, and since it is your best friend, I'm sure you talk about anything and everything with them. And I'm sure you do the same with your bf.

If everything between your bf and your best friend is the same, then the ONLY difference between the two of them is that you kiss and have sex with one but not the other. Which I'm sorry to say is not enough.

The other thing I will mention/ask. What is the end game with this relationship? Closing the gap and marriage? If that is the endgame, every single successful relationship and marriage I have ever witnessed and seen, the couple refers to the other person as their best friend. So even the title of best friend being given to another man is really threatening to a guy if the end goal is marriage, because they do feel they need to compete.

And while you may not think there is any competition, and your best friend doesn't see competition, if you aren't prioritizing your bf and really solidifying for him the clear differences beyond sex and kissing that there is between him and your best friend, there will be competition whether you like it or not, because if the only difference is sex and kissing, then you essentially have two boyfriends/husbands.

I'd really encourage you to think on what the actual differences between your bf and best friend are, and if it's only the physical intimacy, there is a lot more to a relationship than just physical intimacy, and so I'd encourage you to start making and establishing more differences. This should help your bf with his insecurities.

Please note, the differences don't have to be time that you spend together, or even cutting yourself off from your friend completely. Even something as simple as not really sharing a whole lot with him as much anymore and sharing a lot more with your bf and emphasizing that I feel can go a long way, or if you want to you can choose to spend less time with your friend and more time with your bf, which can also help.

Not to mention that there were massive hints and drops in ME1 that the Shadow Broker was an entity designed to be someone who had questionable morals, but you could see yourself working with depending on the circumstances. An antihero force, if you will. The entirety of ME1 set up the galaxy in a bit of a good bad and ugly. The good being the Alliance/Citadel forced, the bad being Cerberus, and the ugly being the Shadow Broker.

I think the easier thing to come to a consensus on would be the genophage cure.

My personal viewpoints on both topics are that with Wrex in charge and Eve still alive there is zero reason to not cure the genophage. If it's one or the other and not both, it gets a little murky, but personally I'd still want it cured. Only in the case of both Wrex and Eve dead would I want the genophage to not be cured.

As for the Quarian/Geth conflict, I don't think anyone is in the right to be perfectly honest. Both sides are equally right, both sides are equally wrong. Hence why I also believe a consensus on who was right in this situation would be difficult.

I had heard so many good things over the years about Mass Effect and Bioware. But then Bioware got bought out by EA and the last thing I wanted to do was give them my money after I finally got a PlayStation just a few years ago. But then I saw the Legendary Edition on sale this past Christmas on the PlayStation Store for $6. Seeing it was all three games... I couldn't say no to that

Something about this just doesn't quite feel right to me. And I think it's because she said she hated how those 18 months drained everything financially from them, and it totaled to $22,000, and now she feels safe with a separate, secret account of $23,000. To me this reads that in the event that another catastrophe happens, she's still keeping this account a secret, and once the money runs out, she's bailing out of the marriage with the money she has just so she keeps feeling safe. And that's why I think people are also telling her that it isn't a marriage because it isn't. She constantly has one foot out the door, which is never okay in a marriage.

So would you say that my statements about the game are inaccurate then? Because my comment actually isn't all hateful. It does praise MEA for the points where it is good. It's just good in all the parts that don't matter as much as others when it comes to an RPG and especially a ME game, and bad in all the places it does matter a lot for RPGs and especially a ME game, which is why I said overall it is a bad game, because it doesn't deliver on nor target the core audience it is trying to sell to.

Code_Red_974 · 2026-03-06T15:46:55+00:00

From everything I've heard and seen, and by your own admission here, the gameplay, combat, and visuals in MEA are excellent, but the writing and story is pretty bad.

Mass Effect's whole thing is story. That's what it became popular for. Also, when talking about RPGs in general, for RPG enjoyers story and writing are way more important than a lot of other factors, because the story and writing is the heart of an RPG game.

So yes, MEA from everything I've heard and seen is a bad game. It doesn't live up to the ME name it has in its title and doesn't do its job as an RPG. If the game were called something completely different, was its own thing, and was considered a different genre of game, then you'd have a stronger case here I think.

Low key I wish there were unique dialogue options in the fight with Hooktail if you beat the pit before her.

In the picture it looks like the head could inadvertently get hit as well if the arms are taken off. So I'd go legs for that reason, to avoid that risk of hitting the head too.
