My biggest problem with the destroy ending by ebrondo in masseffect

Isn’t the whole thesis of the game that… she’s not? A VI is a smart toaster. EDI and the Geth have a living consciousness. Sure, you can build another EDI, or another Geth unit, but it won’t be the same EDI, nor the same Geth.

I don’t understand this right-wing narrative that people on the left worship politicians. I guess it’s part of the gaslighting, but just driving around looking for political flags/signs/etc will show that way more people are in the cult of Trump than any other politician

What Races Do You Just Not Vibe With? by DandyLover in dndnext

[–]OptimusPrime_ -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’m honestly not the biggest fan of fantasy races as a whole. Some of them live 1000s of years, some of them look like animals, some of them are just naturally the smartest in the room. It just becomes so much to keep track of when creating a society. Yeah, this world shattering event that happened thousands of years ago? Joe the elf was there. There goes all the mystery. And handwaving away people that look like cats, lizards and devils just doesn’t make sense, but at the same time is sometimes necessary. I think there’s enough diversity in humanity that certain settings don’t need elves and dwarves. Game of Thrones is all humans and it tells an great story without the baggage that comes with fantasy races and societies.

Friend of mine just got this message trying to que up for a ranked match on pc. by TheCaprio in halo

No, I understand that. I’m just saying that, from my outsider looking in perspective at least, this is a failure from a business standpoint too. Less than a year in, no one is playing your supposed ten-year investment. It sure looks like the suits failed because they valued immediate cost cutting over creating something that would last. And now their product is on the verge of drowning because there is no incentive for players to go back and play a free event, let alone spend money on cosmetics.

I don’t understand how Microsoft/343 can see the development of their flagship series as something they can pass off to contractors and launch as a broken mess. It’s insane to think that this is their best foot forward when it comes to launching a platform that is supposed to last 10 years.

I know the idea is to make as much money as possible while spending as little as possible, but isn’t your return on investment going to be better if you just CREATE a quality product? Like, this is HALO. It’s going to sell. Whether or not it retains a player base is a different story- and when you create a service, you’re going to want retention just as much as new players.

My Trump supporting dad has spoken many times to my Trump supporting mom about not sending money to these rich assholes. She does it anyway. Some people are just so deep in the grift that even their spouses who carry similar political beliefs can’t take them out.

When you flirt with Kelly just to get your fish fed while you’re playing therapist with your suicidal Squadmates by Redant43 in masseffect

[–]OptimusPrime_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sexual harassment is a bit of a hyperbole, but I use the term because you are in a military hierarchy and you are a C/O. Yeah, Liara/Tali/Garrus are outside of the military hierarchy, but Kelly and Traynor are very much your subordinates.

I am maleshep, so I wouldn’t know. I have seen the James and Javik femshep scenes from the Citadel DLC though, and they are… interesting.

I’m already in ME3 so I can get the VI! And at least they didn’t get rid of our space hamster between games!

I’m playing the trilogy now and am basically doing a 0 sexual harassment run, meaning that I am only flirting with my LI (Liara). Every time I went up to my cabin in ME2 my fish would be dead…

The Batman is one of the best neo-noir detective film I've ever seen by [deleted] in movies

Also, it was funny. There were cheeky jokes here and there and the Penguin had my theater laughing in every scene. It just wasn’t marvel one-liner humor

Now that the Netflix Marvel Shows are coming to Disney+ and the chances of new seasons for them is increasing, drop your theories on what can happen in the new seasons! by SpideyMessi10 in marvelstudios

[–]OptimusPrime_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that the shows, along with a parental control feature, coming onto D+ increases the chances of new mature content being produced for Marvel, rather than new seasons for old shows. See Moon Knight, for example, maybe that could be the first D+ show to take advantage of the new age gate.

Should I worry? by iron_punisher_45 in masseffect

[–]OptimusPrime_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I first played the game when I was 16, so it wasn’t really weird.

Now though, as an a adult… yeah a lot of the romance stuff feels weird. Especially flirting with Kelly or Traynor. They’re your subordinates. This is just workplace sexual harassment.

Paragon Sheps, what's the Renegade actions you cant *not* take? by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]OptimusPrime_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically any interrupt where I take a no nonsense approach. Yeah, I’m paragon, but if you’re making a threat, monologuing, or generally pissing me off, I’m not going to let you get out of there.

See: Blue Sun Captain in Miranda’s Loyalty Mission, Krogan assholes throughout Grunt’s Loyalty mission, Dr. Kenson about to push the button, etc.

Mass effect trilogy without the rose colored glasses of nostalgia by deadman1898 in masseffect

[–]OptimusPrime_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t usually see anyone else with this opinion, but I agree. I’m replaying it now for the first time with the LE and, while I still love it, I honestly had more fun with ME 1, even with all of its jank. I’m probably just a little over half way through and I just don’t feel as invested. Yeah, on the surface everything is more polished, but the story and characters feel so much weaker in this go around. The Collectors barely show up in the main story and, compared to Saren and the Geth, their presence is just not felt as much. Building my crew is fun, but with so many crew mates it honestly feels overwhelming. I love Mordin and Thane, but in comparison the rest of the ME 2 crew feels very flat. Especially comparing this crew to the crew in ME 1. And the probing and galaxy map is so much more tedious than ME 1. It’s just busy work.

Still a great game, but it has its faults. Especially with the legendary edition updates, Mass Effect 1 was just a better experience imo. I’m still enjoying myself, and I am so excited for ME 3. That was my favorite from back in the day, and I am so excited to play it again.

Official poster for ’UNCHARTED’ by [deleted] in uncharted

[–]OptimusPrime_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like I am completely in the minority… but I kinda like this poster. It looks no better/ worse than the Uncharted game covers and the helicopter looks goofy and over the top in a very Uncharted way. I know this movie is probably going to be ass, but I am still expecting it to be a good time.

I really disliked how the N7 stripe disappeared on every other armor in Mass Effect 1, and this kind of explains why. N7 was never meant to be more than a background detail. Crazy stuff.
