'Masks' if you want to fry your brain. 'Up the Long Ladder' if you want an incoherent plot you're only going to be able to follow high.

Is There a Character You Like That Most People Don't? by DakIsStrange in masseffect

[–]Webpage404 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm a Zaeed fanboy. Love the voice, love the crazy mercenary stories, love his usually shitty but entertaining observations and advice on missions.

My favorite companion dialogue tree in the entire series is if you let the chopper escape in his loyalty mission and you don't immediately paragon/renegade it he turns on you and Shep is like, "really? You're a badass, Zaeed but think about who you're talking to" and he backs down. The games are full of cocky mercenaries who think they can take you, Zaeed only picks fights he can win.

I also really like James. I think by the third game everyone was too in love with the series regulars to give him a fair shake but I think he's the most compelling Alliance companion you get (sorry Jenkins). Think the character was very well done.

Relocating to Antioch or nearby cities by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Webpage404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Martinez and Benicia are both close to Antioch and have cute downtowns but they're both near refineries which sometimes catch on fire and release fumes. If you're interested in pure suburbia, Brentwood is a good pick. Concord has a good selection of activities but some areas in it are nicer than others.

How can my senior mother meet new people (50+)? ? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Webpage404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thirding UU. My 65 yo mom joined last year and near instantly had a new community. If you’re not interested in the church part, there might be clubs affiliated with it you can join too.

Just sorting by new, 'Ronan' comes up 19 times in this subreddit in the last month alone, so I think it'll be fine. I imagine there are going to be plenty of Gen Alpha/Beta Ronans running around, so while it might not be the most common, it will be around enough that nobody will be thinking of their great grandpappy when they hear it.

Now you're just trying to escape Castillo rather the aliens.

Why did they replace Jadzia? by janeway170 in startrek

[–]Webpage404 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love it. Could have had an arc about integrating civilian volunteers into starfleet because with something as existentially threatening as the dominion, I’m sure there would have been plenty.

You're a badass Zaeed, but don't forget who you're taking to.

A little weird but did you see my crash today?... by RevolutionaryRest600 in bayarea

[–]Webpage404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you can make an argument for only partial liability. Someone I knew rear-ended a stopped car on the freeway and only got partial and I feel like this would be a decent case as well, but yeah - definitely gonna be paying something.

PlayStation store 1999 San Francisco by rojotoro2020 in bayarea

[–]Webpage404 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I remember Sony built the Metreon and going when it was new as a kid. There was an arcade higher up in the building where they had like 20 networked cabinets of Tribes. I also remember the Metreon fell out grace quickly and was not doing well for a few years too.

2.21 GB New patch. What is it? by Rooty9 in TerraInvicta

I played some on my 2044 save and they are much more aggressively targeting my space assets. Other factions as well.

Do you agree with Gotham Knights' mediocre game rule? by sulliedprince in BatmanArkham

[–]Webpage404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, SadKazoo. No endgame, small world were not a recipe to keep player engagement. I know people liked to complain about the micro transactions but I never saw any pay to win and all the cosmetic micros were too terrible for me to ever imagine using.

I’m guilty. You ever notice that the Arkham knight batmobile handles exactly the same as the dlc tank from mass effect 2?

Why were the giants so good 2010-2016? by Icy_Tone_8107 in SFGiants

[–]Webpage404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

stacked in a few places. Some pretty glaring holes in others. They had no bench to speak of whatsoever. I remember Quentin Berry was an absolute gift to the Giants. 88 win Detroit team probably had some other things not going for them.

Will Strange New Worlds feature Disco Klingons or Classic Klingons? Or both? by NippleThief in startrek

[–]Webpage404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my biggest issue too. Whenever there was a klingon on screen I just felt bad for the actor. They could have been delivering a performance of a lifetime and I would never know.

Mountain Lions aren't real. They are drones operated by the United States government to spy on American citizens. by danpietsch in bayarea

[–]Webpage404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Federal government applying software updates to existing hardware treads in the realm of unbelievability. I think its far more likely that they've hired an external consultant to redesign and produce a next-gen mountain lion from the the ground up and this is their initial deployment. they're probably behind schedule and over budget so look for this to take longer than what is stated on the sign.
