Andromeda was pure garbage though.

I seem to be in the minority of people that disagree with this. Was it as good as the other games? Of course not. However, I liked many of the things they did with the system, even I find most of it could have used improvement. I liked playing it, at the very least.


And are people waiting for me to post on my thread? I'm asking mainly because I was waiting for other people, and I'd prefer if it isn't an infinite cycle because we just didn't know. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Fair enough, I mean. I never really have been one to pretense my opinion with 'people who like what I don't like have poor taste' as so many do. It just didn't do it for me in comparison to the other games. It felt rushed and the animations were pretty sloppy to my eyes and that's a pet-peeve of mine. Some of the UIs were clunky and left a lot to be desired as well. Everything has its merits though.

For example, I've been part of the Deadhead community for almost ten years now and a lot of people in that group attack people who don't like the Grateful Dead. The way I look at is like, taste is subjective. The Grateful Dead are a really good example. It's like black licorice. Some people really like it, and other people hate it. With most things, it's like that. I don't really get Doctor Who, I don't care for it. But some people really like it.

Ha! I take it you live in the southern island, then? If we do ever meet in real life, well, that'd be quite the coincidence.

Tss, a poetry-based role-play, that'd be quite different. I will admit I was never interested in poetry too much.



Ah yes, differences in opinion, how hard can it be? Very hard in the internet! As for MEA, I'm sure it has its merits, it can't be 100% bad. At least the team did what they could, so their effort should be acknowledged. There are old, obscure games I like, such as Dark Rift. I don't know why, but there's quite a lot of digital outrage for whatever reason. And no, this isn't only about SJWs/feminists/whatever, but there's lots of that in the right wing community, too. It seems like many people are obsessed about being correct in everything, believing they have the single solution, but what many people do not realize, is that there is no political solution. You can't vote yourself to paradise, you must work hard to achieve success and happiness.

Speaking of which, success, in my mind, is decreed by four factors: genetics, inheritance, effort, and luck. In my case, I have no inheritance, genetics, or luck, so I will never be successful, regardless of effort. However, there are people born with the genetics, inheritance, luck, and who do the effort, and become successful, and that's always good.

Aye, it seems like people are more polarized than ever now. Additionally, it's difficult for me to sum up my politics nowadays. The left has gone further left and the right has gone further right. I suppose in the broad scheme of things I'd be a centrist, as my opinions don't line up one way or another. I have opinions and beliefs that are both left and right, so the closest I can come to describing myself in a political sense is that I'm a centrist. The SJWs/feminists are terrible, delusional people, but there are many on the 'alt-right' spectrum who are just as radical and insane as them. Radicalization is bad in any regard, in my opinion. Not many issues are purely black or white, and the modern political landscape has no room for gray area or compromise. You must be one or the other, is the prevailing mindset. I choose not to validate that though. Common sense is woefully uncommon. One thing I definitely dislike is the push, from both the left and right, to silence the other side. Censorship and political correctness are both, in my opinion, ways to erode freedom of speech by policing language. People are also very, very easily offended nowadays and quick to marginalize or generalize.

But then I've always been the type to believe that so long as someone is doing nothing to harm or otherwise interrupt others, they ought to be left alone. There's a frightening trend in the modern day of prosecuting so many victimless crimes and thought-crimes. Almost seems that we're entering another era of McCarthyism and it's unsettling.

Regardless, I'd say the old adage of "may you live in interesting times" is certainly true for us and the future generations.

Excellent points, Gun, I agree with all of them. I tend to disagree with both sides, I can't get along with lefties or righties, so I guess that waddles me into the centre. And yes, the alt-rite are basically a mirror image of SJWs, as both sides are as bad as each other. Exactly, radicalism/extremism are the main bad thing about it all. Your point about censorship and political correctness is excellent; both are anti-freedom of speech.

Exactly; let people live how they want, especially if they do nothing wrong. In my case, the most radical I am is, essentially, vigilantism against illegals, but even that is illegal and for a reason; other than that, I don’t expect conformity from anyone. McCarthyism? That is indeed unsettling, I actually never thought about that before, I will have to remember that.

We indeed live in interesting times.We are approaching peak oil, nuclear war is getting a bit warmer, politics and economy are going haywire, and all this just doesn’t feel good.

One has to wonder if the Krogan are a bleak statement on our future. I mean, their race evolved to the point where the individual citizen had no challenges or responsibilities... the result being that they began nuclear war just to pass the time.

Better save up your bottlecaps, boi's.

I should post I think, but I'm procrastinating. Secretly I'm hoping Bridgett won't have to defend her right to an "honourable duel", though I guess some backup is a little too much to ask. :P

Yeah, I won't be getting involved unless it seems that nobody's going to decide. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
