I just wanted one more mass effect. I guess it wasn't nearly a far along as they'd teased.

Strongly recommend reading through the books if you have time. I couldn't ever get in to the TV show but I've gone through the books several times.

i wish it was just "EA is shutting down"

You don't get to dictate that. Too bad for you.

The TV show is also great once you get through the first half of the first season, which is sloooow. The rest is amazing though, I actually prefer some aspects of it over the books (like introducing Avasarala earlier and giving Bobbie more to do).

Sorry, Saudi Arabia don't like sci-fi. Just football and hacking up journalists.

Tomorrow: "EA to acquire Larian in $100B deal"

There should only be one company making video games. That's the most efficient and cheapest.

They'd love to make a game about hacking up journalists, but their lawyers say it would be inadvisable.

I stopped somewhere in season 2. I kept hearing it gets better and it just kept on being the same.

Miller was also quite a bit more sympathetic than he seems on the page which is... Well it's a choice.

You're right, I don't get to decide whether you're a bigoted piece of shit, but I can certainly call you a bigoted piece of shit. You bigoted piece of shit.

Keep at it. Powerless. Yelling into the void.

Making a difference yet, Internet crusader? Maybe instead of spending your time on video games and yelling at people on the Internet, lying to yourself that you're "hehe trolling some bigot" you do something real. Get a real degree. Get a real career. Become useful and maybe you'll finally get a date. Your life will change around and maybe you won't be so angry with the world anymore.

Or nah, keep at it here instead. Reddit, discord. Continue being an intolerable idiot instead. That's more fun and you'll never have to face the reality that the problem was all you all along. That's what you'll do, you'll show me.

That's a lot of words to defend being a bigoted piece of shit

i am also never forgiving EA for killing Renderware

Depending on how old you like your old school, you might enjoy Spiderweb Software's games. They (mostly just a guy and his wife) have been cranking out RPGs since 1994. While all their games are superficially similar, there's an impressive amount of narrative and mechanical variety. If you're a D&D fan, especially the Forgotten Realms setting, you might enjoy the Avernum series. You're a prisoner, banished to the underground realm of Avernum , never to see the light of day again. However, you are not alone, as the ruthless Empire which sentenced you has long enjoyed sending its dissidents into the subterranean realm. In fact, there are several factions which vie for influence, and the player can throw their lot in with any or all of them. In some ways, it feels like an old school Underdark module for DnD.

Their other series are worth checking out too. In Avadon, you play a party of inquisitors (essentially) for a tyrannical, immortal overlord who exercises nigh totalitarian control over an alliance of 5 nations. Over the course of the game, your party uncovers a far-flung conspiracy against your boss for his abuses of power, and you are free to RP your characters' reaction to this in a number of ways. Even further afield of that, the Geneforge series is set in a science fantasy world which blends magic with bioengineering and genesplicing. As an apprentice of the Shapers Guild, you have the power to change (or even create whole-cloth) life forms to suit your purposes. Brings created in this way are programmed (for lack of a better word) to be completely obedient to their Shaper, despite otherwise being sentient, free beings. The ethics of this form a large part of the tension in the plot. Mechanically, though, it means that the game is like a weird Ultima/Pokemon hybrid, where your party consists of your mad scientist chimera creations, who will protect your squishy gene wizard until their dying breaths.

I first came across their work when I watched Jeff Vogel's GDC presentation several years ago. It's an hour long, but, if you have the time and interest, it's a very candid look at how the sausage is made in indie game development. In particular, I appreciate that he is very conscious that the games' visuals could at best be described as "quaint", but that just encouraged him to lean into the writing even harder to make up the difference, since that cost almost nothing.

But we don't even have a goddamn Mr. Terrific.

You're the one who's miserable. Constantly lashing out at strangers on the Internet. Hatred of people who you perceive as doing better than you. That bitterness is never going to go away and it will consume you unless you do something about it.
