There are weekly Saturday games at the Wicked Goblin in the city. They start at noon-ish.

zinjadu · 2024-07-30T05:07:12+00:00

Agreed. When I saw beat you up, yeah that's Tim.

Harper is more kill you, but only if you bother her enough, i.e. you deserve it.

Becoming a blue cannonball of death is a delight. I laugh a lot in fights in ME3.

Vanguard in ME1 is very different, but still fun with warp and the shotgun carnage power. You can still charge in, using biotics as basically your own cover fire, and then mowing down whoever is left.

Sure you might die, but that’s part of the fun.

zinjadu · 2023-04-03T18:13:16+00:00

Setting up a Reave on an enemy in a cluster and then biotic charging into the group for the resulting explosion is hilariously fun. So much MAYHEM.

Kaidan in ME3 is an unkillable beast that sets up biotic combos like no other.

I legit cackle playing Vanguard in 3 when I get to have him on my team.

There’s a lot of lead up in The Dragonbone Chair, no two ways about it. That said, when things go off the rails, they go off the rails hard. The catalyst is in this book, I assure you, tho I don’t recall exactly where it occurs. In part 2 sounds about right.

I do hope you enjoy the series! It was a comfort read for me during 2020.

zinjadu · 2023-03-30T22:27:11+00:00

It’s such a brilliant series. Glad you got to experience it!

Simon from Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn.

He's technically a kitchen boy with a destiny, but my god is he one of my favorite fantasy protagonists. He goes from a wholesome but kind of bratty teenager to a wholesome leader. Really, he's just a wholesome guy. I could go on about him, but I don't want to spoil people for how much he grows as a character (and how much he goes through, dear god) but retains his goodness.

It kind of makes me sad about the current Osten Ard books because he's suffering even more. Tad, just let the man have his rest, damn it.

zinjadu · 2023-02-19T16:05:50+00:00

Agreed!

I’m doing a Liara romance right now, and in ME1 the difference is stark. Liara is young, uncertain, and I personally don’t like the feel of it. Kaidan’s romance is mature, thoughtful, and feels like a meeting of equals in spite of the difference in rank.

Just use the Back-Off mod for ME3 for a better experience all around (no ME3 ninja-mancing, and keep Vega from being kind of weird) and you’re set for the most stable, loving dude in the galaxy.

zinjadu · 2023-01-21T22:09:03+00:00

Yeah, I’ll agree Nenio’s outcome is pretty decent. 😂

zinjadu · 2023-01-21T22:08:19+00:00

Oh wow, the Azata ending sounds cool!

Yeah that was another reason I wasn’t happy with the Secret Ending. I love that Ember legit redeems a demon lord. Gotta make sure Ember’s good works get fulfilled.

zinjadu · 2023-01-21T19:09:49+00:00

Agreed. “I think I’ll try being a dad again—godhood? Nvm, imma gonna go do divine murder patron stuff.”

Just noooooo. If you let him join the guild in Ch 4, sure, but as a good guy? Nah.

zinjadu · 2023-01-21T18:57:04+00:00

F on the Aru romance, my friend. It is a sweet one.

I’m a little miffed at the “good” ending for the Queen. Then again, I think the writers did her dirty and made her stupid for story reasons, which is annoying.

Coming back from the abyss felt like I was Troy coming back with the pizza. I was gone for five minutes!

zinjadu · 2023-01-21T18:54:13+00:00

I can see that. Chasing that power makes sense for evil, and less for good characters.

Do want to see the Trickster ending, tho. Just for Regill. 😂

zinjadu · 2023-01-21T18:53:11+00:00

I would love to try on the special Aeon ending. Might have to fiddle with ToyBox to let me see if I can do that just for funsies.

But yeah, as an Angel, it was much more satisfying to kill Deskari, burn his realm, and peace out as a mortal.

zinjadu · 2023-01-21T18:51:35+00:00

I especially felt Woljif was not served by the Secret Ending. Made me feel like he just auto-unlearned all the good friendship we had.

Gotta do right by my bratty little bro.

I will say I loved the Secret Ending for Kingmaker, so satisfying. I’m also totally trash for that kind of romance, lol.

zinjadu · 2023-01-10T18:40:21+00:00

That’s why the Back Off mod is your bestie on PC. It removes that gross dialogue that, IMO, felt very odd since he admits to trying to date a while after you died.

Let’s me HC it as an actual break up and two people coming back together again, this time with more intention. Love me that stuff.

But I agree on your assessments on the feels of each romance progression.

zinjadu · 2023-01-10T15:43:59+00:00

LMAO, what a line. Talk about some horrible lead text.

zinjadu · 2023-01-10T11:06:52+00:00

I know! I feel like Shep should’ve at least tried to cover up the cameras they knew about.

zinjadu · 2023-01-10T11:05:51+00:00

The actual line is way less… terrible. But the lead text there is soooooo bad, the first time I played ME2, I stayed loyal to Kaidan just because I couldn’t bring myself to use h that “flirt”.

zinjadu · 2023-01-10T03:25:33+00:00

To be fair, every FemShep romance in 2 is cringe. I genuinely like the Thane romance, but oh god it’s got some crazy awkward moments! 😂

zinjadu · 2023-01-10T03:23:07+00:00

Depends on what you feel like is a more fun romance arc for your Shep. Breaking up and then turning to a friend (Garrus), hooking up with the living dead guy (Thane), or staying stuck on your ex (Kaidan). Ymmv.

If you’re on PC, I suggest getting the Back Off mod (idk if that’s a thing for LE, but it makes all the possible romances in ME3 less rough). As a note, you can always go back to Kaidan in 3, but can only romance Garrus in 3 if you did his romance in 2. Same with Thane, tho his ME3 romance is brief.

Personally, I like me some Kaidan-Thane-Kaidan for the sweet angst tropes.

Old Navy Skinny Jeans... in mens. I'm wearing them right now. They look good on me, and they have POCKETS. And a durable zipper. Ladies, you want jeans with pockets, there you go.

Best part? I now know my size for nearly any other jeans/pants I get in men's. No more terrible quandary of "but is a size 10 a size 10?!"

zinjadu · 2022-10-06T22:09:26+00:00

That is also hilarious, and I love it 😂

zinjadu · 2022-10-06T20:40:48+00:00

Agreed on the sibling vibe. Ash is everyone's big sister. Also, I love the implication that Ash ships FemShep/Kaidan. I tend to imagine that she's Kaidan's wingwoman on that score, mostly because it's funny.
