I wish more of ME3 had felt like Leviathan - moody and ominous and foreboding - instead of this weird uncomfortable mix of OOH-RAH USA and apocalyptic carnage.
Oh man. The first mission. Creepy as fuuuuuuuuck. Closest the rest of the series got was bits of ME2: Overlord dlc.
There were a few good moments of creepy horror in the series, like all the parts with indoctrinated people, but I wish they had leaned into it harder. Sci-fi horror is a really fun vibe, especially when you can then discharge the tension by renegade-interrupting the scary thing in its dumb face

I did a charity show for a girl with like, crazy rare cancer before
I was doing crowd work and asked a women what she did and she responded "oh I'm <girl with cancer>'s reiki healer" and it took a lot of self to not go "well if that wasn't a load of shit then we wouldn't be here"
To this day you're unsure if you did the right thing. I am unsure at any rate.
I feel like insulting the girl with cancer's belief system is a good way to not get paid.
That's a tough line to walk. I did standup at a private show for some studio exec a few years ago, and she got absolutely plastered and started heckling me. I reached a point where I thought, "Fuck it, either she'll be offended and I'll never book a party with her again, or I'll turn her down because this is untenable."
Turns out she loved it and added another $200 to my pay. I got asked back the following year but I was busy having a mental breakdown, so I had to politely decline.
I am ridiculously jealous of this. I would love to be doing shitty corporates.
The scene here is so small and stifling and cliquey that it takes so long to get to that stage. There's hardly any open mics and the shows that are running are hella tough to get onto because there's an over saturation of comics.
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered moving to another country for standup.

I wanted to replay ME3 on PC, but, last time I checked, it didn't support controllers for some insane reason. Which is a bummer since I've never played any of the DLC for it.

I'm in LA, and it's teeming with comics. I mostly stand out because I'm a 6' 4" red-haired bisexual British guy who makes jokes about his parents' cause of death. I think the accent does a lot of the heavy lifting - I'm not sure I'd fare so well if I went back to England.

Yeah, I get that. I don't sound particularly Irish and I did well in Florida and Colorado because I didn't have an American/Canadian/Mexican accent but I wasn't hard to understand.

They legally have to accommodate you. Make them pull out a chair and take it around with you.

The Reapers are a very Lovecraftian enemy. Sleeping beyond "dark space," inscrutably malevolent.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

my polling place had a poll watcher who was a really cute girl
the poll watchers at mine were old white dudes with beards, to see what they look like just picture what a "racist truck driver" looks like and youll be in the ball park

Unfriended a person on facebook for continuing to share doctored images and fake quotes and shitty political forwards. Just a literal Andy Borowitz quote with every instance of "Trump" replaced with "Hillary" to totally fuck with the message. Just awful.

For everything ME3 does wrong, it has one spectacular bit of storytelling where your choices really do matter:
Rannoch
I hope Andromeda has more moments like that.
I feel like Bioware is pretty good about learning from their mistakes and trying new things. I bet whatever Andromeda screws up, it will at the very least be something new.

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Shiv, even if Trumpo is elected, we have at least until january before he fires nukes.

Tonight is more dangerous if he DOESN'T get elected, frankly >_>

TRUMP IS LEADING OVER 6-TO-1
HILLARY SHOULD CONCEDE NOW
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I don't know, I think it'd be of a benefit to have a President who doesn't try to get Twitter API access for the country's nuclear launch codes.
I'm contemplating picking up a nice bottle of scotch on the way home.
I already have a mini fridge of milwaukee's best light in the event of a trump win
I hope Andromeda has more moments like that.
