Are manufacturers just using the cheapest sticks they can get their hands on?

There’s certainly an audience for more Andromeda. For a while on twitter, every official mass effect tweet would get bombarded with requests to release “the quarian dlc”.

I thought that was the main complaint with the Mako, that the planet exploration was too dull, less so the troublesome controls. I personally liked roving around empty planets. It provided some less talkative in-game downtime. It also felt realistic, you know? Like, driving around the moon or Mars.

OTOH, I absolutely…

I’m still salty about that like 10 years later. They definitely tell you its urgent to start that mission but they probably say that about half the other missions which you can just ignore and go probing planets or whatever for a while. It’s something they don’t do at all in any other ME game either, they just do it…

That’s true that in terms of the trilogy’s arc, ME2 doesn’t make a big difference. Ironically, the fact it doesn’t mater - itself doesn’t matter. A big reason why people get (or got) really attached to Bioware games was because of the characters. If I had to guess, that’s probably a big reason why ME2 is so many…

When I initially tried ME1, I played for maybe a few hours before putting it down for like 6 months. The opening of that game is pretty bad. You’re effectively stuck in a space shopping mall without much to do for far too long. I’m someone who tends to mop up all side quests before moving on to the main questline (some…

Well ... “many people are saying” the cops are the perps.

My son and his friends (they’ll be 4th graders) are content to spend a decent chunk of time just sitting in their party lobby emoting and voice chatting with each other. Having a movie on in the background would help add to that sort of socializing, though obviously not Inception for that age group. It’d be like…

I’ll write it. The Obama administration still put children in jail. The system put in place during the Obama administration provided a foundation on which the Trump administration gleefully built more cruelty on top of.

A word of caution, there’s a limit on how much you can stack. I think you’re limited to redeeming 3 years worth.

My experience was more or less the same. I can’t remember discussing the reason for the Civil War but most of the schooling was on the battles, not its cause. I distinctly remember finishing up the Civil War unit in high school by spending multiple days watching Gone With The Wind. Then we jump to civil rights era and…

I just want to say thank you for being a friend. Travel down the road and back again. Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant. And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew. You would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend.

You have my sympathies.

I’ve been just absolutely gutted every time I’ve lost a pet. It doesn’t get any easier with “experience”. I had a pair of brother cats, the tuxedo cat in the pair was a gentle giant, 26 pounds ! but an absolute teddy bear, to people anyway. I bawled an entire weekend after his diagnosis and then…

The same developer, Infinite Interactive, is behind both PQ and Gems of War. I’m hopelessly addicted to Gems.

Rhetoric may be important to some people. Someone who is ideologically driven will probably want someone who doesn’t just enact their preferred policies but promotes their ideology too. Warren doesn’t seem to be an ideologue. Her pro-capitalist statements may be sincerely felt or they could be a more cynical…

Yet what is the practical difference between Warren and Sanders when it comes to the distribution of wealth? Or how the economy operates? A problem is that capitalism and socialism are really broad terms and if you’re not precise about what you mean by one or the other then it basically becomes meaningless sloganeering…

You lasted longer than I have. I quit using using the term sometime during peak (nadir?) GamerGate.

It came from the central Atlantic, not the former Soviet bloc so I don’t think he’d be interested.

That dem establishment has backed Gore, Kerry & H. Clinton. This time they seem to be backing Biden. The line that people are parroting, that he is the best hope to beat Trump seems the inverse of the truth. In addition to losing to H. Clinton and Obama in ‘08, he has also lost to f’ing Mondale and Dukakis! He hasn’t…
