Re: Mass Effect

Citadel confirmed that the Council did in fact know that Sovereign was a Reaper and not merely a 'Geth Dreadnought'. Really? Sheesh. I never actually got Citadel - I don't doubt it's good, from what I've heard, but at some point I guess I kind of made peace with how Shep's story ended (i.e. she cra...

Re: Mass Effect

There's a lot that can be said about the original ending (pre-Extended Cut and Leviathan DLC, which took it from an F to a solid C minus), and I agree with around 98 to 99% of the criticisms, but one thing you can't take away from that ending is the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5JvbD2Zc9I...

Re: Recent Political Violence in America

As for Black Lives Matter being allowed to protest...are you paying attention? When Nazis or KKK march, the police protect them. When BLM marches, the police menace them. Exactly. When Black Lives Matter first started marching, carrying no weapons, just signs, the police brought up fucking TANKS. H...

Re: Recent Political Violence in America

So, I don't know if it was in this thread or one of the other ones, but you k now that Right Wing talking point of late about the "poor man stabbed after being mistaken for a Nazi?" Yeah, about that... http://denver.cbslocal.com/2017/08/28/stabbing-joshua-witt-neo-nazi-steak-shake/ Though I fully ex...

Re: Recent Political Violence in America

I read this thing today, and it sums it up far better than I have been so far about this problem re: free speech absolutism and Nazis. "The thing that gets me about the debate concerning neo-Nazis and protected speech is that a big chunk of it seems to be taking place in a world other than our own. ...

Re: Joe Arpaio pardon

You have a way of explaining that status quo that makes it sound like I'm stupid for pointing out it's moral problems, or naive for objecting to it. He must be a South Park fan. ;) Saying "all politicians are corrupt to a degree so who cares" isn't a helpful attitude or a meaningful one. Yes, moral...

Re: Joe Arpaio pardon

Arkle, I have to agree with Steve on this one. You might need to step away from the subforum for a bit, if only for the sake of your mental health and blood pressure. =s Maybe. But you wanna know what the worst part is? This is probably not the worst thing Apricot Asshole has done or will do now th...

Re: What video games are you playing?

In addition to my twice weekly sessions of Mass Effect Andromeda, I've been playing that dating sim Dream Daddy. I'm enjoying it. Funny in a lot of places, but also honestly emotional in others. I'm not even a father (thank goodness) and I could still relate to a lot of the conversation you (your ch...

Re: Mass Effect

I've been enjoying Andromeda so far. Only get to play it twice a week since my Mom's the one with the PS4, and she, my step-dad, and brother live with it so naturally they get first dibs. Granted, I started playing it after most of the animation patches had come out, but still. My only real complain...

Re: Joe Arpaio pardon

Hell, it's an admission that Nazis are bad, it's just asserting a claim that the antifa are driven by another totalitarian ideology. An inately stupid claim that no rational or moral human being would ever make. It's as fucking ridiculous as calling Black Lives Matter a hate group or comparing LGBT...
