    there would have been no Geth uprising

    which is a pretty convenient judgement to make when you're not sitting on top of a subjugated military and labor force that just became aware that it is subjugated

    then... stop subjugating them? instead of killing them?

    so do you not believe in the idea of panic, or

    Well I mean Takyris flat out said Wrex and Eve usher in a cultural renaissance and redeem the krogran race.

    if I remember right he flat out said he thought they'd do pretty well by the krogan, but that is not a foregone conclusion within the narrative itself

    also, he's wrong. wrex was on earth when the relays blew up. whatever the krogan are doing, they're doing it without wrex

    No, there was no "I think" or "these are my thoughts."
    It's still outside of the text and therefore not really meaningful for this discussion

    if taky and the rest of the writing team wanted it to be etched into stone that the krogan would be awesome with a cure + wrex and eve, okay with a cure + wrex OR eve, and awful with a cure without wrex or eve, then they should have written it into the game. End of story.

    NEW CRITICISM

    it does me wrinkled, flaccid heart good that we're running into these tropes of critical discourse

    sure am glad I'm getting this degree!
    worked out pretty good for me

    "we panicked" is not really a good defense for toastercide

    understandable, maybe, but still clearly wrong

    I'm pretty disenchanted with the idea of formalized criticism in general

    but I planned on majoring in creative writing, not literature, to begin with

    so that was just a joke, I'm pretty fucking pleased with my college education thus far

    yeah it's intensely useful for both of those things

    also i got sick of mark meer after 5 minutes, but i do think garrus and tali are the 2 best-acted crew members (maybe due to their longevity?) and it was cool to skip ahead and see that exchange

    job stability. guess who gets fired last?

    If you guessed the CEO, you're correct, but if you said accountants you are second most correct.

    also it's not very hard work and it pays alright.

    I just forgot about how easily I get bored.

    perhaps accountancy isn't for you

    perhaps you'd be interested in a more exciting job, like banking

    Technically i am as trained as i am ever goign to get, i just don't know much about the human reproductive system. as someone who is willingly removing themselves from it, it seems ironic(?) that that is the thing currently holding me back.

    I enjoyed my history degree and still think history is a great academic subject but I can't help feel at times that maybe it is not the most practical of things

    I was going to do English lit or whatever but I was talked out of it by English lit students who said that I would probably hate it for being too formalized about what is good or not.

    Yeah I thought so too

    so I did history instead, which at least has some sort of reasonable criteria for what makes for good and bad history

    as well as a healthy amount of understanding that what we think is good and bad history is probably unique to us, just like it was for most other periods

    a career based on simple math and tricking myself into enjoying small repetitive tasks you say?

    Also in history "good" and "bad" kind of fall by the wayside a bit

    "useful" and "not useful" are more what you are looking at

    and people seem to understand that "useful" and "not useful" aren't objective, which is nice

    It's light, shoots fast, hits fairly hard, and has a fast reload.

    It's probably the best sniper rifle in the game, and will probably be nerfed at some point the way the Falcon was

    Let's just say that while I'm not the best there is, I'm reasonably competent with my infiltrator

    Whenever CarbonFire equips the Valiant, I feel I'm doing pretty good if I can maintain about half his score

    edit: both of us sniping
