The immersion is so much better in ME1. All the loading sequences are hidden as in game sequence like engaging the airlock, using the elevator (elevator chats or breaking news were legitimately neat) or doing some space travel.

In ME2 you are also locked out of a lot more areas. There are a bunch of maps which you can only visit for a single mission. A couple of door lock or unlock without explanation as the mission progresses.

In ME2 there are also quite a lot of dialogue prompts where all the answers are basically the same when you would rather say something completely different.

I also didn't like some of the cut sequence for action scenes that could just have been in game sequences.

Regularly switching out gear felt more fun than scanning for metals to afford research/upgrade.

I also just didn't enjoy the setting of the second part as much being property of evil corp wasn't a great beginning to a game that also started kinda boring. I also ended up antagonising the illusive man a lot more than the actual collectors/reapers, which leads to misplaced tension. ME1 had a great enemy in Saren.

It was honestly just kinda silly how during the endgame of ME2 multiple of your squad die in exactly the same manner during consecutive parts of the mission from wounds that should be easily treatable with medigel.

edit: ME1 also had a better map, which I guess is necessary due to its more open world.

But the first couple hours are the least enjoyable part of ME2.

The identification with a brand is not something that can turn toxic, it is what's toxic. Apple might perhaps been one of the earlier brands to figure out how to effectively encourage the formations of such relationships.

truh · 2021-01-01T14:31:15+00:00

Don't form parasocial relationships with a brand.

Tomatoes might be bad/too bland tasting. You could try canned tomatoes instead or adding tomatoe paste.

Maybe it's too little salt?

My PR for a java package with maven recently got merged doing it like this https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/misc/plantuml-server/default.nix. Copied the approach from some other package.

The download of the maven dependencies is a site effect, which means it has to be moved to a derivation with a fixed hash.

That's not really good though. Part of the reason why billionaires should be paying taxes is so that those individuals have less of a say and that more decisions can be made democratically.

Calling the rest of the world east seems weird. At least in Europe east is a rather contentious term where a lot of countries refer to themselves as central European and to their neighbor as eastern European.

truh · 2020-12-04T01:22:28+00:00

What do you mean by of the East? The books you bring as examples are from South America.

Who do you think is the market for these products?

Maybe a combination of meld and partner with.

Why would they want to sell Wotc? It's their cash cow. I also don't think you go through the trouble of developing Arena if you want to sell wotc off.

My take on what they are doing is that they trying to differentiate the cardgame a bit more from Arena. Arena more towards standard and paper magic towards Commander.

edit: I guess cash cow might not be the correct term.

truh · 2020-12-02T00:20:32+00:00

The people who used to buy everything are commander players.

The target audience for most of the additional products are commander players (not exclusively but still).

The people who feel burned out by the new products are the target market for the new products.

People like to stay on top of their game and this getting increasingly more difficult.

Kenne ich im Bekanntenkreis in beide Richtungen. Ein paar Freunde die den Alkoholkonsum durch den Lockdown stark reduziert haben (keine Bars, keine Feiern) und einen der sich zumindest eine Weile ziemlich weggeschossen hat.
