  • My ex-stepdad was (supposedly from his mouth but I went no contact with him once he left) a huge conspiracy theory person. Vaccines cause Autism, Alex Jones was a huge presence in my house, anti-anything left of centre. Funny thing is, he’s Canadian. But when he spoke to my mum about something she had contacted him about, he mentioned to her how the last lockdown at the time was what did it for him. And now he’s “supposedly” not a massive conspiracy theorist nut job. So what I’m trying to say is, yes, I agree, we need mental health professionals working with these people. Because if I can go off my ex-stepdad and his problems, then I’m sure there’s a large majority of these dickheads who are probably of similar or worse mental health.

    Yeah I have Game Pass so I was pretty keen to play the early access but when I found out it was $170, just to play 5 days earlier? No fucking thank you.

    I’m spending that money on an SSD because my partner bought the deluxe version and running it on my computer is arse. My computer isn’t even that bad!

    Yep big fan is Mass Effect here and I will FOREVER be mad at the Day one DLC for Javik. I finally got him in Legendary Edition and oh my God, he is so essential to so many stories, especially Thesia mission. Like holy shit!

    I think the start of Mass Effects 3 they change it based off of if you played the DLC of Arrival. Because from my understanding, Shepard is in jail because they work with Cerberus, whereas if you have the DLC it’s because of the Batarians.


  • God yeah Tumblr is so frustrating now. Like I get that a site needs to make money and I’m not even opposed to the gimmicks they have. But changing the look of it (which has been changed before but at least it made sense a lot of the time) to what is essentially a clone of Twitter. It’s frustrating to see a site I love so much, decide to kill itself and for what?

    That and also the fact that they allow racism, transphobia, homophobia to fester. You’d think that a site that is pretty popular with the LGBTQIA+ crowd, they sure like to keep people around who would harm us.




  • Yeah I’ve never understood how people can see it as the best game of the series. It just always felt like I was building up to what 3 was going to be.

    To be fair, I think the upgraded mechanics and the character storylines are neat as (and the fact that I can romance Garrus 😍😍😍), but yeah I’ve never really understood why it was seen as the best in the series.

    Could be that that’s the first game a lot of people played? ME1 was my first game and it’ll always have a special place in my heart. I think people just muddy it up because of the Mako.



  • Favourite game is Mass Effect 1, but I don’t think I have a pet peeve because a lot of them have been said before (love the Mako though, it’s just that the planets BioWare built are all fucking hills!)

    But I think my pet peeve for Mass Effects 2 are 2 things.

    1. The fact that there aren’t scars in 2. Unless you use mods, but I like having my Shep’s look battle-worn.
    2. That BioWare made Shepard work with Cerberus. Like I get it in the idea of “the Alliance isn’t saving people, but Cerberus did”. But it feels so wrong especially if you played Mass Effects 1 where you can see the experiments Cerberus did on civilians. That and if you have the Sole Survivor background, it’s a real slap in the face.

    I know that they did 2 for storyline purposes, but the fact that you can’t push back or anything makes 0 sense. And they also did it for people who never played 1. I just, ugh. It angers me. I love that 2 gave me my Garrus romance, but man, I just… yeah.
