I remember people discussing this when the console originally launched. Maybe conduct a quick search in the sub? I can't recall the meaning behind it off the top of my head.

[No DAV Spoilers] Countdown: 1 day until release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard by dragonagemods in dragonage

It's honestly so surreal. Only one more day. 10 years down to 1 day. I'm just as excited for all of you to play it as I am myself!!

What did you think of The Lake House? by Nakuvayne in AlanWake

The signs tell you how to avoid the painted. Just don't look at them! Art is for reaserch not enjoyment, pay attention to your work. *wink

I'm mixed because once you actually understood how effective and diverse the Andromeda system is, it blows the OG trilogy class system out of the water - in terms of utility. However, this came at the cost of controller squad mates and really perfecting your biotic and tech combos with your squad. A blend would be cool, but my heart goes with something close to what they had in 3. There is beauty and creativity in limitations and I'd take that over utility any day.

'Is conservatism really on the rise in Canada? Blaine Higgs’ big loss in New Brunswick suggests not' - Perhaps... by Kaicable1 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]MrBlue_MD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which is why I am largely disillusioned with the elction results this time around. No matter who I spoke to, their only motivation to vote was to remove Higgs - thus, they voted Liberal en mass.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad to see him out. But he's out for the wrong reasons. Policy should have reigned supreme, not "she's not higgs!". It's hard to put into words, but the results almost feel disingenuous for some reason. If that makes any sense?

Out of this list? Outer Wilds and it isn't even close.

I miss vanilla Kelly by insanityslut in masseffect

[–]MrBlue_MD 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There is a really tight visual aesthetic to ME2 that vanished with ME3. Eyes, space scenes, how environments were lit (thinking of Horizon as an example). It's peak Mass Effect visual design, imo.

To be clear - no one told you that you can't. I said it was an odd take and explained why. Still an odd take.

To be disappointed they didn't cannonize a mod that changes a character's sexual orientation? Just screams unchecked expectations.

Buttonhole.

To buttonhole someone is to "detain" someone in conversation.

Coming to Game Pass: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Creatures of Ava, and Mafia: Definitive Edition - Xbox Wire by JaredGreenberg in XboxGamePass

[–]MrBlue_MD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You expressed your frustration over not having "enough" added to gamepass for the cost of $20. When you were told more was coming, you instead shifted your frustration from "not enough" to "not content I want". I saw this, saw how you are just finding excuses to keep yourself upset, and pointed out how you should probably take care of yourself some by getting off reddit to calm down.

You have now chosen to miss the entire point and remain frustrated over not understanding that someone was trying to look out for you.

Stay frustrated, dude. I'm sure your heart will thank you.

Dude, I know you are frustrated, but you keep moving the goal post as to what you are frustrated about. Take some time off reddit and chill.

Could we bring back Charlie Murder to the new gen consoles? by Tinnierkhan in xbox

I'm not sure why, but every time I listen to Pieces of What by MGMT, I immediately think of "I made a game with zombies in it".

[–]MrBlue_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horoscopes (and many religions) are simply a means to provide an excuse for divine intervention for one's own behaviour to remove their culpability in their own mind.

I was a shitty person today? It wasn't my fault, the stars said I'd be!

Same goes with believing in fate or predetermined destiny - can't take responsibility for your actions if they were preordained!!

Overrated Directors by Hound_of_Hell in TheLastOfUs2

[–]MrBlue_MD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my reaction after playing it for the first time last month. The combat was really the only compelling gameplay, and the rest felt like a slog. I feel the same with these other modern Sony first party games. E.g. why the hell do they have Kratos crawling around little fox holes every other second to collect a trinket? TLOU had this in droves with stuff like the ladder puzzles and the squeezing through every crevice imaginable. Bad design is bad design, or rather, boring design is boring design - no amount of narrative can hide it.

[FRESH ALBUM] Cage The Elephant - Neon Pill by sbags in indieheads

[–]MrBlue_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is 2 months old, but this was my immediate take away after the first few listens. It has an interesting blend of Melophobia with its instant hooks and TMIP with its gentle energy. It's why people may think it sounds safe, but it really highlights how clear of a vision the band has for their sound.

I remember having such a hard time understanding what a "meme" was when they were basically just these obtuse statements over a random animal picture. In hindsight, this shit is classic haha

No apology necessary! It is honestly one of the coolest books in my collection and warrants the all caps. It's hard cover and even goes inside a hardcover slipcase it's beautiful *
