All(ium) Cepas Are Bastards? 🤔 😅

It really isn't. It'd be a bit closer if Data just randomly insisted that "steal Geordi's visor and shoot Data in the knee" was a necessary response to the bio-neural gel packs having gone funky but hunams love being fooled but pretend to hate it so we've got to have this asinine argument every day with people who assume that everything they don't understand is either magic or fake magic.

Also, there's a pretty big difference between beating Data with hammers while he's standing in front of you acting like a person, and beating Sales(TM) with hammers because you know damn well it's a janky piece of fad tech that can't possibly understand how it's about to make your life harder and is clearly marked as corporate property. I kinda can't believe I'm actually having to say this, but maybe we should consider giving a least-cost product (or service, I forget everything's a "service" now) that's clearly marked as corporate property a bit of extra scrutiny? People's minds are such mush. Ugh.

I'm taking this as an opportunity to illuminate issues with particular games, since... well, play on easy if you wanna, naturally. So, for my recommendation: If you don't use the mod that makes all weapons very dangerous, Mass Effect Andromeda. Without a mod to speed it up a lot, every fight becomes ages of tedium. There's one weapon that can be made any good and even that doesn't make fights bearable. You're basically sitting for like ten minutes at a time hosing down foes with off-brand Super Soakers until they get frustrated and leave. It's quite bad. Just play it on easy. Not just easy, the easiest easy. Whatever the lowest difficulty is, pick that one. There's just no point in anything higher unless you've got infinite patience. And ammo. Bleeegh.

So, generally I play things on easier difficulties when I feel like anything higher will get tedious rather than interesting. The Mass Effect trilogy, I play on the maximum difficulty because that adds a bunch of mechanics that give me more to work around. Fighting armoured enemies should be done differently from fights against shielded enemies, that sort of thing. Enemies become more dangerous when they're not shut down so there's that encouragement to get them figured out before they bring out the scary attacks. Some games just increase health amounts, which... okay, just shoot them more? 😴 Boring.

tl;dr: Games like Mass Effect Andromeda where difficulty settings only increase tedium. Am never gonna want to crank up the tedium setting.

Oooh, I placed the first clue for Round 1 immediately but the rest threw me off 😅 Never got into the season(s) relevant to Round 2 so 🤷 on that one too :-\

Oh, maybe I'll watch all' that here! Just kidding, we've only got access to like five streaming services and violently headdesks until streaming service shenans are forgotten Uhhh, what was I saying? Anyway we don't have access to that here :-\

Yay trivia funtimes, though :3

not many people in the world who understand this code.

Kinda sounds like maybe he writes some freaky garbo C that nobody can figure out 😅

[Joke] Closet good guy Putin entering the later stages of his plan to give up Russia without ever looking like he's backed down 😊 It'll all be one unified Ukraine soon!

There's so much in place to keep people from getting help but paying people to shoot us and not even bother to make up their own lies about it, no problem!

What the fuck.

This is bigger than my little life, the lives of my men and the lives of the people I was forced to kill. Resist. Humanity demands it! Resist!

Yeah!

Sometimes they come bang on the hull trying to pretend they don't know what they did wrong, just trying to kick you off' your own ship a few times. Just warp out and forget about them until their revenge arc in a couple seasons 🤷

Not knowing how these things normally work I'd just kindof assumed it was generally polite if not outright agreed upon that one doesn't leave weapons sitting pointed at one's neighbours 🤔 🤷 Maybe I think too much of hunams 😅

Woo, maybe Shrine Wars will be coming out soonish!

... Har har! 'Used to love that game 😅
