[@grimmjow0106]

YongYea can we all just agree that EA is not a gaming company. They are a business minded executive corporate Ryan greedy casino that use games simply as a means to an end. Games to themare situational instances of how they can put people in their casinos, as far as casino structure goes. They put slot machines and other gambling devices of an addictive quality in there “games” so that players will in moments of weakness give in to the addictions that they’re surrounded by. As I said the game is just a means to an end. They don’t care about games because they’re not a gaming company. I wish ignorance and Lil kids with easily manipulated or lackluster content would start buying in to this shit hole of a company. Through that money depletion and players scarcity we might actually get the company reformed back into a game company. But as long as they’re making their money off you idiots, this is just going to get Worse and worse as if it’s all right not bad enough🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

EA: “We’re not shutting down Bioware, we’re just giving them a surprise indefinite vacation.” Also the Mass Effect Trilogy has massive replayability, especially if you had the Citadel DLC and played that last before the final battle in ME3. Then lie to yourself by saying the the Citadel DLC is the true ending. That after defeating the Reapers you all have a party at Shep’s house, get drunk, get your krogan son out of jail, kill your evil clone ( even though I wish you could have persuaded them to join you), save your space hamster, and all that good stuff.

[@Maximumdumb]

R.E.Z so it’s a good ending if I purposely try to lie to myself

[@Seracen]

Well, one positive that came from the ending fiasco is the fan content. Now, I get to watch or read any number of fan created endings to the saga. I made a compilation of just videos (rendered as a machinima, or animated like motion comics, etc), and I had an astounding amount of "alternate endings" that did the trick. It's amazing when fans come together to do stuff like that. Still would prefer a proper ending to that series, but I've been able to make peace with all the fan creations. Heck, even wrote a few stories myself, and made a short comic. It's just sad that half the stuff out there seems to need such treatment.

Me and her repeatedly make eye contact throughout the semester. It’s never just ignoring each other, but it’s never talking or real interaction. It’s just eye contact. Never changing. I focus on studying. Calculus. She’s better at it than I am, but my grades are improving. Later, I’m at this birthday party for a guy that I used to know but we don’t hang out much because I don’t like his sense of humor. But I show up to his party. Why not. It helps support local businesses and boost his numbers and what not. Someone comes up behind me. The voice that always answers correctly at class. Her sweaty arm zips past my eye to the table beside me. SURPRISE SUDOKU she says way too loud in my ear. Under her hand on the table is a page out of a Sudoku puzzle book with an undersized pencil. RIGHT NOW? NOW she insists. I can barely hear anything in the party. But this girl has challenged me to fill out a Sudoku puzzle. I tell my brain, NOW IS THE TIME. ALL SEMESTER, YOU HAVE TRAINED IN ARITHMATIC AND CALCULUS. EVERYTHING HAS LED UP TO THIS VERY MOMENT. _That’s not how math works._ WHAT? _(sigh) Mathematics does not translate into puzzle solving.

Which would be the Lair of the Shadow Broker and Arrival. But people whine about Leviathan and From Ashes being behind a paid DLC wall. Never mind the fact ME3's MP had lootboxes.
