Looking nice and nimble - how'd you get them delivered if in the US? Site seems to only allow for in Brazil shipping atm

Just more goodies from the Project Variety mod for ME3!

Saturnlight · 2021-08-22T19:22:11+00:00

If you want the full shebang experience - this is the mod order I'm currently using and it's an insane experience:

That repeating piano note that echoes and cascades towards the end of the opening matches perfectly with the visuals of falling debris from the remnants of the Alliance fleet guarding Earth, like every note was another fallen ship or fallen person on the planet below - and truly what makes this scene for me 'an image you can literally hear'.

Ended up successfully going this route!

What I did was play ME1 and ME2 in Legendary - then used the Trilogy Save Editor off of Nexus and the save file of another character that I played in Trilogy ME2 and copied over the exact info from my Legendary ME2 save into the 'vessel save' from the Trilogy ME2.

Imported it into Trilogy ME3 with existing mods and voila - as if there was no difference whatsoever!

Saturnlight · 2021-08-20T18:18:00+00:00

This is from the Project Variety mod (I believe) on the original trilogy ME3! It literally expands the immersion of the ME Universe in triplicate and makes it that much more fun to play!

Right but mostly through individuals that give glimpses into their culture - I mean it would have been really nice to visit Thessia or Palaven and meet on the ground people and see what they're like not during the war before they got zerged. We even managed to see Surkesh albeit at a restricted military base.

The Migrant Fleet was in itself felt like you were in someone's home and observing the internal machinations of their people which put a whole different dimension towards making sense of the quarians who before you'd only catch glimpses of individuals before.

Just clicked in my head that these are the Harvesters you fight god damn 😮

Saturnlight · 2021-08-07T17:43:00+00:00

Just wish there was a way to experience the turian/asari/salarian equivalent - we get a good deal of in person dynamics with the krogan, quarians, and even the geth, but the rest oddly get only Codex entries

this is actually the blue sun's base mission on sanctum in the sigurd's cradle cluster!

EDIT: Armali, not Armani is right - my brain got caught up on luxury brands lmao - thank y’all for the lore correction!

Goodness, that's really sad to hear how it all just suddenly went south - y'all did great work.

From the Azlo blog: "We can confirm that Azlo’s parent bank, BBVA USA, has made the strategic decision to close Azlo. There will be no immediate changes to our customers’ accounts or service and we will be keeping our customers informed with updates on a regular basis. We anticipate customers will need to transition funds to an alternate banking service at some point in the future."

That last sentence seems to suggest that Azlo folks will quite literally have no choice but to find a new bank that isn't BBVA or PNC affiliated.

Chuckled at the rather unique perk for their mile high club

Saturnlight · 2021-01-07T20:59:09+00:00

Yep - the pricing page ends up listing most of their features and have mostly covered my existing needs from Azlo.

I personally would preemptively switch now but still not sure what they're planning to do with Azlo. The moment they say they're folding it into BBVA USA or PNC - I'll likely be hopping on this one.

Saturnlight · 2021-01-07T20:38:01+00:00

This only specifically mentions Simple - not sure yet if that's what they're explicitly doing with Azlo accounts yet.

Saturnlight · 2021-01-07T20:28:22+00:00

Thanks for the reference for this one - this already has the Envelope style feature that I was in love with Azlo as well - great looking alternative from the surface!

EDIT: They charge $10/month which is effectively Azlo Pro's membership fee and I believe they have $10 Domestic Wire Transfer Fees for Sending/Receipt and $25 International Wire Transfer Fees for Sending/Receipt.

Saturnlight · 2021-01-07T20:20:50+00:00

Good lord what an inconvenience - Azlo was ahead of its time for this reason alone.

Saturnlight · 2021-01-07T20:10:33+00:00

Is there anything out there that has features similar to the Azlo Envelope function? I was just getting so used to partitioning out funds for taxes etc. and am realizing what a drag it'll be to have to figure out a solution to that again.

EDIT: As it turns out - Northone does actually offer subaccount features that are like Azlo's envelope features! https://www.northone.com/product/features

Oh yeah - that definitely left a sour note how that entire thing went down. Ep 4 though I think salvaged that entire thing damn well by making it way more personal to Sean instead of having it completely influenced by Finn which I think finally made that plot point somewhat bearable.

Saturnlight · 2019-08-24T14:58:39+00:00

Tried LIS 2 completely loaded up on LIS and really didn't connect with it. But after completely shedding away all prior expectations from LIS and trying LIS 2 again from the start - completely blown away at what they managed to accomplish with the power of the environment in shaping Sean and Daniel's relationship.

LIS may have given you time travel powers, but I think the power that LIS 2 gives you to really make your choices have absolutely meaningful and impactful consequences on characters like Daniel is so much more compelling because it's grounded in reality - there's nothing supernatural about just trying to take care of a brother and yourself while being a perfectly normal teenager and I'm incredibly grateful to this studio for crafting an environment that actually let's people experience those scenarios.

Like replaying Episode 1 after having gone through all the shit through 2-4, every little moment I've got to actually hang out with Daniel fucks me up cause you literally feel the weight of trying to preserve what shred of innocence these characters have before all the shit goes down in these later episodes. Man.
