Re: Why Hasn't BioWare Fixed These Issues in Mass Effect 2

To this day, 3 years after the LE came out I still don't know why BioWare didn't reinstall cut content or made several quality of life changes AND still insist on screwing over Legion when they DID fix a number of issues with Mass Effect 1 and 3. They gave us the ability to sprint outside of combat...

Re: Transphobia is just repackaged homophobia

I may get skewered but, that last line is my personal concern. Getting your gender changed is not like putting on a new jacket. If someone is too young to vote, too young to drink, and too young to fight for your country. How then are they old enough to make a life altering decision this big? I thi...

Well OK, but it isn't. The US Navy has Up or Out. Starfleet has 64 year old Lt. JGs (see Tapestry).

Re: Biden V Trump: the rematch of the century

There's also a lot of people who support Palestine, and we're loud too. For some Palestine supporters, this could be the difference between being a Biden voter and being a non-voter. With respect to the Palestinian supporters....what's the goal with non-voting? To change Biden's policies or a belie...

Re: Biden V Trump: the rematch of the century

I dunno, I think you're living in a fantasy land if you imagine any president being able to stop Israel. The domestic political costs alone are too high. Stop them? Perhaps not. Slow them down more than is being done? Absolutely. I would further suggest that "The President is powerless to accomplis...

I dunno, he just held an election that was clearly bullshit. He'd probably would say he utterly demolished them.

Re: Jessie Gender's re-watch of ST: DISCO

I guess it just goes to show you: if you want some more good Star Trek, first you must wade through some more bad Star Trek. I'm not willing to do so. I just do not connect to an audience that somehow thinks that the Enterprise D moving like the Millenium Falcon through the Death Star is a good thi...
