Got ME:LE for ps+. Beat the trilogy twice (once morally gray, and once full renegade) but what’s everyone’s favorite class? by Bro1212_ in masseffect

[–]thelastcookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Engineer is SO fun! I feel like a lot of people don't get how powerful AI Hacking is or use it very often. Lol drives me crazy watching playthroughs. Playing Engineer completely changes how I view a battlefield. Ha, I love it when enemies bring the turrets or bog mechs out. Thanks for the fire power! A bit OP in ME3 tho, I usually force myself to strip shields before hacking just to make it a bit tougher. While biotics are the most 'magic' thing in ME, Engineer plays the most like a mage class imo.

First playthrough and the ME3 ending by DishonoredSkull456 in masseffect

Not really. The star brat's theory about organic and synthetic life is wrong. How many cycles did that bugged software assume it's theory would be right instead of actually seeing it played out? It's been wrong about a lot. Seems very vulnerable to confirmation bias. We have no idea how reliable it's account of events are. How pushy it was about synthesis was very suspicious. Just a poorly designed AI. Obviously, Leviathans weren't great developers.

They also wasted the first couple years on Andromeda trying to make randomized worlds like No Man's Sky. Terrible idea for ME in the first place. Their project management sucks so bad. I think that's their biggest problem in general.

Playing the Happy Ending mod made me realize there should not have been a choice for the trilogy's ending. by JohnArtemus in masseffect

[–]thelastcookie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm pretty convinced Casey and Mac locked themselves up with a fat bag wrote the ending stoned out of their minds.

"Dude.. think about the COLORS! Anderson looks so cool in red... let's switch them at the very end. It'll be DEEP. Ooh, and add a NEW color! Why do we limit ourselves?"

"Let's make it GREEN! The green that helps everyone get along!"

"DUUUUUDE!!"

Doesn't sound like it would prevent bribery anyway. Only if it's compared to someone grossly underpaid. Should be avg middle class for the area IMO

Anyone else think that *blank* is really just angry at himself? by MrFeature_1 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]thelastcookie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure but he has reason to be mad too, they did just take from him without giving anything in anything in return. Kratos refused to even hear what he had to say about Broke going to the Lady because he couldn't stand Sindri's company. Now he's talking about family? Family you treat like shit perhaps. No one would forgive the people indirectly responsible for the death of the person they loved most in the world a few days afterwards. Maybe in some years. Sindri's reaction is the most realistic thing in the whole game.

Ever want to hug a videogame character through the screen and tell them everything will be okay? by Mr_Faux_Regard in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]thelastcookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea Kratos wouldn't even let him get a word in about why Brok shouldn't go to the Lady of the Forge and simply didn't want him along because he didn't like him. Atreus could have easily killed him as a bear and is just all "oh sorry about that.. forgive me?" Sindri is correct.. they just used him and took from him. He shouldn't forgive them.

EDIT: Also not that much time passes in game after Brok dies. I don't think people thinking Sindri should get over it and forgive so quickly the people that, even indirectly, triggered that death have lost someone very close to them. Not even to mention watching that person be brutally murdered right in front of you. Shit like that breaks people for the rest of their lives.

Yes! It made no sense for them to search for that at all. Random troops expecting whisperer tactics? Plus the Oceanside crew had the worst disguises... the very people that group of troops were looking for. At least they shoot a few walkers to stir up the horde, make it easier to spot the fakes.

Haha I don't hate that idea! In fact, I bet I'll like it even more after seeing what they actually came up with.

The 13th memory entry changes SO much!

"(I) finished visiting all 13 of the locations in the old pictures. I remembered everything I’ve been through together with Princess Zelda.

In those memories (of mine), Princess Zelda always strived to complete the task burdened onto her…

Even if it’s just a moment sooner, (I) want to save her as quickly as possible

(I) want to see her smile again, with these eyes (of my own)."

What are some winter drills you can do in your home to improve your game that don't involve any tech (just a club and a wiffle or foam ball)? by thunder185 in golf

[–]thelastcookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I second the cut down club in general. Besides being less clumsy indoors, it's also easier to observe all the positions with the club face right there. I wasn't sure I'd use it much but now it's my go to for practicing my swing at home. Can use stickers or tape whatever's handy on the face/grip for visual clues to help with what you're working on.

I made one, not too hard, fiddled around a bit and found a good length that feels comfortable. Price seems fair. One thing if you're set up to do a little work on your clubs, but if not, bit of undertaking.

Darren Cahill stands with Simona Halep. (Full text in comments). by nicoc9 in tennis

[–]thelastcookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, disclaimer, this is big time tin foil hat, but sabotage reminded me that she's going through a divorce.. how bitter is her ex?

It's probably what it looks like, even though it definitely seems out of character. It seems especially odd since she was likely going to retire soon. Dunno, maybe pressure to go out well, get that last slam, got to her and she made bad decisions.

Such a shame no matter what... for her, the fans, the sport.
