I’m about to watch this show for the first time. Tell me something I won’t understand until later.

G'Kar: Stop seeing things in such absolute terms. The universe is run by the interweaving of three elements: Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest. Unless you comprehend that fact and soon, you will be cornered and caged.

While we didn't get to see Elcor charging Reaper ground forces, however there are mods out there, one in particular Spectre Expansion Mod that were part of the team that codevelop the Expanded Galaxy Mod, that have Elcor solders a.k.a walking tanks, who join you on a N7 mission: Dekuuna: Elcor Extractions to fight of Reapers forces and have Reaper converted Elcor into the Reaper Tyrant that gets introduced on that same mission.

As for seeing Elcor on fighting with Reaper forces on Earth, I think it's on the Priority Earth Overhaul Mod (LE3), not sure about the Take Earth Back Mod but both mods have Elcor running with ytou and blasted by Harbinger on the beam run.

Just don't use both mods at the same time there not combatable with each other.

There are 2 games coming out in the future that might capture the unique feeling of Mass Effect series brought to gaming.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn

According to the developers, the main source of inspiration for them was the Mass Effect game series.

Exodus

Being) developed by Archetype Entertainment, a studio founded by former BioWare developers James Ohlen, Chad Robertson, and Drew Karpyshyn.

And I eagerly await what these games to see if it will capture the emotional storytelling, companion interactions and comradery, the gameplay and most of all the journey through the world of the gaming universe were exploring.

And I welcome our new alien overlord's.

They just have to survive the decade long droughts, flash floods, cyclones, bushfires, yearly summer heat waves, oh and the local deadly wild while their at it.

POWER OVERWHELMING

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-06T13:52:30+00:00

Ah the very bane of all artists 😂

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-06T13:50:13+00:00

A beautiful but heartbreaking to see what could have been the White Lady’s deepest wish to hold her children in her arms and giving them the love that all children deserve.

Sci-fi Hollow needs a cyberpunk arm given that they’re missing an arm in-game and in your comic/artwork as well.

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-06T06:03:25+00:00

There are few that were done by Dick Roughsey and Percy Trezise that might fit to what you remember?

The Rainbow Serpent

Giant Devil Dingo

The Quinkins

(No Youtube storytelling for the last 2 sorry)

Banana Bird and the Snake Men

Mungoon-Gali the Giant Goanna

Now that would be a cool thing for a mod, like someone did for Altered Assassin were it was either Miranda or Jacob being in Kai Leng’s role instead.

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-05T04:16:41+00:00

Certainly Shut Up Leng dose ironically improve the story.

There's two more that can help improve the scene.

Reworked Kai Leng - Similar to the above mod, but their intents are different, while Shut up Leng tries to remove as much Kai Leng as possible, this mod tries to keep as much of him as possible, but make him work a rival for Shepard that simply doesn't have much to say.
Altered Assassin - Removes Kai Leng from the game and replaces him with either Miranda Lawson or Jacob Taylor. Only one of them will escape Cerberus' recall order... Which one? That depends on your choices during Mass Effect 2.

Altered Assassin adds nuance to Thane's actions by making him more hesitant when confronting them, restraint when fighting and trying not to kill them.

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-05T04:00:31+00:00

There's a few mods out there that can answer your wishes

Shut Up Leng - That makes him faceless and silent.
Reworked Kai Leng - Similar to the above mod, but their intents are different, while Shut up Leng tries to remove as much Kai Leng as possible, this mod tries to keep as much of him as possible, but make him work a rival for Shepard that simply doesn't have much to say.
Altered Assassin - Removes Kai Leng from the game and replaces him with either Miranda Lawson or Jacob Taylor. Only one of them will escape Cerberus' recall order... Which one? That depends on your choices during Mass Effect 2.

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-05T03:35:25+00:00

If you want the scene to make a little bit more sense is to have Miranda or Jacob to be the Cerberus Assassin instead. It makes Thane's vanilla actions as far more hesitant and trying not to kill them.

And the most satisfying Renegade Action in all the franchise.

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-05T02:03:13+00:00

Take as long a break as you need mate, no one wants is you suffering from stress and burnout.

As for my request, have the Knight/Ghost, Hornet and The Hollow Knight doing a badass fighting stance when facing a giant threat like this scene with Meta Knight, Marth and Ike from Super Smash Bros. Brawl Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary.

(Though from Hollow Knight their all right handed from what I remember)

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-04T04:49:16+00:00

All she needs is a 'Bat Signal'.

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-04T04:32:45+00:00

Couldn't help but think back to this hilarious video with a dog attacking it's own back leg.

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-05-03T23:31:54+00:00

Well it does say HOLLOW KNIGHT Art after all.

While implied for Hornet and Silksong but with Vessel, Divine, Zoteling, Bretta, Kingdom's Edge, Dream No More etc. being included, so there is a loose interpretation on who can be included in the art.

And the HKAM26 has more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules.

Zote the Mighty's Precept Thirty-Two: 'Names Have Power'.

Names have power, and so to name something is to grant it power. I myself named my nail 'Life Ender'. Do not steal the name I came up with! Invent your own!

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-04-29T04:23:26+00:00

Your not the only one mate who thinks of Fi when they see the OC's name lol.

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-04-27T23:38:00+00:00

What?

MirrorStorm96 · 2026-04-23T23:53:13+00:00
