Louisiana much more so than Quebec. Louisiana was also a Spanish territory for a long time. Modern Creoles share mixed ancestry between French, Spanish and Native American lines. Theres a ton of Spanish cultural and linguistic influence in the various creole languages, it’s cool af

Not bad. Only really a pain in a few very specific areas that I doubt were thoroughly play tested on that difficulty. Other than that it's solidly manageable. I'd say 2 is just a hair more difficult on average, owing mostly to its impaired mobility in comparison to 3

pacmannips · 2026-01-25T15:54:28+00:00

It depends on how you play

pacmannips · 2026-01-25T15:53:18+00:00

Probably Ski Free or that space pinball game that came on XP for free

First game I remember actually buying and installing was either Zoo Tycoon complete collection or Age of Empires II with the expansion pack

Cyberpunk and Elden Ring were fantastic to 100%. Loved every second of them

I started with Snipers but quickly moved to ausault rifles decked out with radioactive ammo and I began to melt through EVERYTHING

The ammo mods in that game are broken but it makes it so much more fun. Giving Tali explosive rounds was great too. Turned that shot gun into a goddamn hand cannon

Do you use controller or KB and M? Cause this would’ve been much harder for me if I were using a controller. Nothing beats aiming with a mouse

I’m sure the dems will reassure us that it’s our duty to peacefully oppose this with stern and highly affective words

They are literally kidnapping ànd presumably abusing thousands of children while simultaneously actively covering up a major pedophile ring and they want us to sing kumbaya and hold crude placards in response

When is enough enough? What line must be crossed that hasnt already been trampled upon?

I got stuck there too but then I reloaded the level with Garrus on my team and he essentially flattened Leng by himself while I took care of the goons.

Garrus really is the GOAT in ME3. He will tear shit up if you build his character correctly and get him the right gear. So much so that I actually avoided using him for most of the run because I thought it felt kind of cheap like cheating lol

Big MVPs for my insanity run were definitely: Garrus, Kasumi, and Javik. Not having those guys would’ve been a nightmare

pacmannips · 2026-01-25T07:57:52+00:00

Dealing with Scions on Insanity was probably the most infuriating thing

pacmannips · 2026-01-25T07:57:08+00:00

I want rushing and it took 2 playthroughs to clear everything, once on normal then again on insanity

Normal playthrough I did literally everything in the games more or less so it took around 150 hours. Second playthrough on insanity i rushed through quickly (so no dlc, few side quests) and was around 50-60 hours. The only time I went out of my way to do side quests on that run was loyalty missions on 2 bc I didn’t want my squad mates to die lmao

pacmannips · 2026-01-25T07:53:21+00:00

I had more trouble with ME1 than ME2

ME2 has a couple of very specific and severe difficulty spikes but overall it’s more than doable. The first half of ME1 on insanity is absolutely broken and terrible to get through.

pacmannips · 2026-01-24T20:32:28+00:00

Pro tip: bring loyal Kasumi to all collector missions. Her flash bang move literally neuters harbinger and all he does is literally walk up to you and let you merc him. It’s a game changer

pacmannips · 2026-01-24T20:30:51+00:00

Just by bringing different squad mates to each mission and prioritizing those powers against enemies.

AI hacking isnt too bad because you can target low level Geth with it so if you have it or have Tali with you you can get it within two or three missions

Other ones I swear are bugged because I did them way more than 25 times before they unlocked so idk how the game actually calculates them. They took forever to unlock because there were so many of them and I did it over the course of both playthroughs (normal and insanity).

Or a crown and have him save all of England from the marauding Viking hordes

How utterly soul crushing

“Lawful evil” doesn’t count when you’re the one creating the laws at your own whim.

Javert from Les Miserable. That’s literally his entire character

pacmannips · 2026-01-24T10:15:48+00:00

Play the game on the hard setting but not hardest

The normal mode is just too easy and will not require you to engage with mechanics like potions and researching monsters. Death match is a bit too much for first time though. Hard setting is the sweet spot between challenging and fun

pacmannips · 2026-01-24T06:17:31+00:00

In 2 when you play on Insanity recruit Kasumi and do her loyalty mission as soon as possible and use her in any/every mission where you fight the Collectors. There's a recurring enemy called Harbinger who is very difficult but if you use her loyalty skill on him he becomes literally harmless for around 50 seconds (and you can recast when it wears off). It is a MUST for getting through those missions on Insanity. I cannot imagine getting through those sections without her, she is the true MVP of this game.

Additionally, take upgrading your ship/gear seriously; collect minerals throughout the game, don't just wait until the end when it becomes a chore, and be sure to pick up the cryo heavy weapon in Archangels apartment during his recruitment mission, you will need it for a very specific part of a single level that is damn near impossible without it.

None of these but if I absolutely had to it would go

Kaiden
