  T00NYBOY (@T00NYBOY) reported 8 minutes ago

  @HAmorata Mine came out with this: "This is @T00NYBOY *Proceed with extreme caution.* On the surface he looks harmless—British, tea-obsessed, soft-spoken, the sort of bloke who keeps an owl called Oswald and a dinosaur called David as permanent co-hosts. Do not be fooled. He will greet every problem, argument, or mildly difficult video game with the words “Challenge accepted,” then proceed to throw plot armour and pure stubbornness at it for twelve consecutive hours. He has been known to attempt hardcore Subnautica, every Stellaris crisis at once, and 24-hour anniversary streams purely for the principle of the thing. Resistance is futile; the stream will continue. He unintentionally funnels every conversation back to Mass Effect. You can start talking about the weather and somehow end up discussing Paragon interrupts and the Reapers. He will do this while sipping tea and looking entirely too pleased with himself. He is also the kind of person who returns from holiday to find his community has left him a pleasant surprise and immediately posts “Aw! Come on lads and lassies!” with genuine warmth. This makes the warning harder, because he’s actually quite likeable. That is precisely the danger. If you engage, expect long game playthroughs, unsolicited Dynasty Warriors opinions, Spider-Man rants, and an unshakeable belief that he is probably the sidekick who dies early but still shows up anyway. You have been warned. Tea is already being poured."

  Why the Dark Energy plot was better. But the issue with that plot line was that it fit for a game that was a sequel to Mass Effect 1. But Mass Effect 3 was a sequel to Mass Effect 2 (which was a soft reboot of the series, not a sequel to Mass Effect 1).

  @Knight10293847 yhea in general that the actual problem of veliguard it a mmo disguised as a single player and they couldn’t really change that felling to make it more like a dragon age or mass effect

  @pinkkomimi My problem is more I try to play it like Mass Effect and then remember I can't use skills and I have no party members to cover me LOL. I'm getting better at it though thanks to the world quests.

  @KTiereny I think 5-10 years ago this would have been amazing especially with Yakuza and Persona games back then. The problem is now if you had another entrant the cost to lockdown content would be extortionate. 100 million to get a 3rd party exclusive like original mass effect.

  i think a lot of people associate the fantasy genre with length and scope, because the cyberpunk beeline for example is 20 hours and it’s not an issue. every mass effect is 20 hours. if the quality is there, then it doesn’t matter!

  Halo Reach is the Mass Effect 2 the of Halo in that it's followed up immediately by a worse game but if you're smart you can see that it had all the same problems the whole time

  true and the only game ive seen address this problem correctly is mass effect bc being called shepard doesnt break the immersion since it Is technically your name but being called leader in p3r all the time really ******* sucks

  @mcuban You might find this interesting! So here's my MRI results... This is a workman's comp injury, I'll post the explanation of grok of my MRI results and then show you the doctor's report that grok analyzed Your cervical spine MRI (without contrast) shows multilevel degenerative (wear-and-tear) changes with loss of disc height and signal throughout, plus straightening of the normal forward curve of the neck but no vertebrae slipping out of place, no bone-marrow problems, and a completely normal spinal cord with no swelling, damage, or compression. The C2-C3 and C7-T1 levels are entirely normal. At C3-C4 there is only a small disc bulge causing very mild narrowing of the right nerve-exit opening. At C5-C6 there is a small disc-and-bone-spur complex that does not herniate or narrow anything. At C4-C5 a disc-and-bone-spur complex produces a 2 mm central disc protrusion, mild narrowing of the main spinal canal, mild narrowing of both nerve-exit openings, and a small tear in the outer disc ring. The most important findings are at C6-C7, where a disc-and-bone-spur complex includes a broad-based right-sided disc protrusion that causes only mild narrowing of the main spinal canal but moderate-to-severe narrowing of the right nerve-exit opening, putting clear pressure on the exiting right C7 nerve root, along with moderate narrowing of the left nerve-exit opening as well. Overall the main spinal canal itself has no more than very mild stenosis, so the key issue is the right C7 nerve compression that can produce neck pain and possibly radiating arm symptoms. The mid-August MRI report objectively documents multilevel degenerative disc changes with a notable 2 mm central protrusion at C4-5 plus a broad-based right paracentral/foraminal disc protrusion at C6-7 that produces moderate-to-severe right foraminal stenosis and clear mass effect/compression on the exiting right C7 nerve root (along with mild spinal stenosis and other mild bilateral foraminal narrowing), yet the August 20 work-comp follow-up note lists only the soft-tissue diagnoses of “sprain of ligaments of cervical spine” and “unspecified sprain of left shoulder joint,” contains zero mention of the MRI, the disc protrusions, the stenosis, or the nerve compression, and releases you to regular duty with only brief restrictions through August 27; this mismatch is inconsistent because the imaging evidence of structural disc herniation and nerve-root compression is entirely omitted from both the listed diagnoses and the work-status decision, which instead frames the condition as a simple ligament sprain that would ordinarily be expected to improve far more rapidly than the documented compressive findings.

  @palladiummag "But almost everyone engaged with the topic who isn’t a denier is either a doomer, an accelerationist, or some combination of the two." I'm a Synth! (Let's get the Green ending of Mass Effect 3 or the Institute ending of Fallout 4 and upgrade them!) "Maybe they are insane in what they want. That’s always a risk. Maybe their actions will push everyone else into desperation and lead to the extinction of mankind as we know it." You really think we're going to get Horizon: Zero Dawn's ending? I refuse to submit! (The entire tribe was longhoused!) "I realized that I was much more interested in using something like this imaginary computer, and being challenged and empowered by its demands for agency, than I was in any computer designed for a “human.” I realized my concept of “killer AI” was just the projection of all the agency we conventionally deny ourselves as ordinary humans." Hmmm... I have run into a similar problem as I build the user face and 'playspace,' but I completely disagree with your framing... I want a rotom-dex... Great article! I skipped a few paragraphs after gauging their relevance to me... but you knocked this out of the pak! Especially with the opening paragraph of 'Make Yourself Human Again.' 👏👏👏👏👏

  @Pirat_Nation If they can so easily identify problems then apparently the dev ain't so grand either. No one attached to any level of decision making in the era of Mass Effect Andromeda / Anthem should ever be allowed to criticize game players. 2 platinum level franchise opportunities completely fumbled.

  @xaviersonline_ i love her voice but i can't stand his but maybe it's one of those things that grows on you who knows that's the same problem i had with mass effect where the maleshep was just hard to play (though his VA is actually amazing so idk if it was the direction or what)

  Can anybody actually drive the Mako in Mass Effect perfectly with no issues? Is that a real thing?

  Sora (@Sora_1303) reported 36 minutes ago

  @MischiefsYT @sony2k1 @LionsFanAccount if he was never intended to be the Protagonist then why was he? OK higher up forced them to but they still did it. My problem is with how They discarded him. I played as him for 150+ hours. That meant something to me. Only to not see him in Valhalla DLC. Mass effect did that.

  @aaronmail1994 Can you give an example? Most of the time it's bugs causing issues, but they end up getting fixed with an update. I’ve been on PC for 2 or 3 years now, and the only issue I’ve had was a bug in Mass Effect 1 that I found a workaround for. Most of the time I just install and play.

  @wesleytypes @DawnwalkerGame @RebelWolvesDevs Do you even comprehend how annoying it is to write a whole trilogy like this, or the numerous problems it caused mass effect? You know why they introduced a new solider in 3? Because all the previous ones could be dead. The dumbest people ruin those games.

  @sulmusa00 @Pirat_Nation Like we've seen this problem before with Mass Effect 1, assload of planets but when most of them are empty you just end up going to the storyline planets which just HAVE TO BE incredible and that really makes or breaks a game like that

  @ShouVertica @MikeyNohMore All Starfield had to do was try not to be NMS. They should have kept it tight, 2-3 star systems at most. But the bigger issue is that many of us expected Bethesda's take on Mass Effect. Instead we got Fallout 4 in space because Emil Pagliarulo is a talentless hack.

  @harrykahlon16 @nuhre_ A fair point. BioWare Montreal ran into the same trouble with the Frostbite Engine for Mass Effect: Andromeda. But even that game's troubled development (with a team that had never developed a full game) took only 5 years total, with full production being crammed into 18 months.

  @WeezSays @LonoSG Not true for all of them. Steam’s own offline-mode FAQ even says games that use an external launcher often won’t start. You lose multiplayer, sure. But a lot of single-player titles still won’t launch if EA App, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar, or CDPR’s REDlauncher can’t phone home. I’ve had that exact problem with Mass Effect Legendary Edition (EA) and Witcher 3 after the next-gen launcher got added. “Steam games play offline” is true for some Steam games. It’s not a blanket rule when the publisher bolted a second storefront onto the install.

  Knight(Fate)1029384756 (@Knight10293847) reported 59 minutes ago

  @CorbynRed So, I take a number of issue here. For one, this probably isn't a person who is high up in the organization and is just someone on the ground or a manager. I can't think of why a PIF head would comment on Mark Darrah's videos. For two, he is really glazing EA for being well managed when this management has lead to BioWare being reduced severely and other studios as well. For three, the fact that he said that after Mass Effect that BioWare will be deployed as creative support is worrying. Like okay. I guess they won't be fired but that is not really good for the creatives of BioWare to just be support. Though I find it odd he calls Andromeda "a touch too creative for a lot of fans," I wonder if he means that positively or negatively. And finally this guy could literally just be lying and making this up. Even if he wasn't I find it hard to believe that a PIF person in a high position would be commenting on a Mark Darrah video. Or any video for that matter.

  @onlypushinp @dreadwolf_solas Mass effect had big problem beetween 2 and 3 with some story part being scrapped, it is coherent because of the protag, the cast and the ennemy who in the end don’t change. You jusy can’t do that with DAO for example.

  Levi (@levas1786) reported 59 minutes ago

  @Aurelian_27 Yup, but they need to be exclusive. Releasing on Playstation hurts their brand. They've had the hardest times since 360 quality exclusives and even then most of the like Bioshock and Mass Effect came to PS. But the price for the next consoles will be an issue as well i fear.

  @WallStreetMav In the first Mass Effect game there was an option to spare a bunch of mercenaries who try to murder you. Refusing their surrender was punished with 'renegade points'. Yes this was a punishment meant to 'groom' you. But a bigger problem are lies about Christ being 'peaceful'.
