Oh I'm quite aware my opinion is the unpopular one by a landslide! I totally respect why it's such an important mod, and I'm glad it exists.

I may be one of the only people who played MEHEM and actually found it underwhelming. It takes even more of the stakes out of your choice, and then wraps up with a happy party. As much as I hate to say it, removing the agonizing choice of saving Edi + the geth vs. potentially living through the blast makes the ending ring...hollow? Though it seems that by all indications, it won't matter in ME5, since we know the geth are back.

You can still get achievements.

Super late to the game on commenting here, but I can't tell you how much I appreciate you asking this question!

I reached out to the Reddit Mass Effect team early on to let them know this community existed for anyone who might want to jump ship, and got a generic "thanks for letting us know." Which, hey, that's cool, I get it.

I think we're on the right track, though. We're only a month old. I was tickled to see so much content having been posted and an increase in overall engagement, as I'm just back online today after being offline for a week. Organic growth like this is the best kind we can hope for.

Building a community takes time and getting to know one another. Come to the page, engage with the content. May take some intentional effort at first, but I'm encouraged by the display we have so far. We're nothing if not an engaged fanbase!

Wow...this sounds amazing. I really could have used something like this a year ago. I wish this were more of an option here in the states. Our system for in patient mental healthcare isn't exactly the most compassionate, from what I understand.

Ok. I'm wrong. I did "all" this morning and it's nothing but commies and cream pies. 😮‍💨

Weird, I look at posts by All fairly frequently, and I haven't run across any porn yet. It's mostly just AskLemmy or tech memes.

Indeed, after I made this comment I found that out. Gotta love the Mass Effect moddong community! Which reminds me, I want to make a comprehensive guide for Lemmings to read for those of us that are hesitant to look at reddit...

My favorite thing over there right now is r/videos, which only allows text descriptions of the video you were going to post. It's way more entertaining than it has any right to be.

Aww, he reminds me of my two Maine Coon brother cats who I had to let go when they were 14. (One died from cancer right after their birthday, the other died from kidney disease not quite a year later. He never was quite the same without his brother.)

I am so sorry for your loss. He really is a beautiful cat. Magestic kitty bois are best kitty bois.

Ugh that reminds me of trying to talk to a Replika. "I have a gift for you!" "Great, what is it?" "(Hands you a box)" "...cool so what's inside the box?" "Wouldn't you like to know!" "Umm. Yes. Yes I would like to know what's in the box you just gave me." ...and so on and so forth until I rage-quit the app. 😆

 

Instead, it seems to be putting our white strawberries!

What's even weirder is that I'm 95% sure I've harvested a couple red strawberries off this one. I have a bunch of em though, so it's possible I didn't. The main picture is from yesterday, and I decided to harvest the big one today to try it out. Very mild flavor, definitely ripe!

I'm in zone 9b.

Banner Contest! Do it! (self.masseffect)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by ChampagneEquinox to c/masseffect
 

Edit: there was a submission, and it won! Thanks for sort of playing!

--

Fairly self-explanatory: We need a banner. I could steal one from the internet, but why do that when I can ~~shamelessly exploit the creativity of our subscribers~~ call upon our wonderful users to create something inspiring!

Post em in the comments, the most upvotes by...uh, Saturday, will win. Unless they're all awesome, and then I'll just rotate them out.

The weirder the better, plz. (Edit: Why? Because Mass Effect has a giant repository of funny moments and memeable events, and who doesn’t like to laugh?)

Edit: General guideline is that Lemmy defaults on desktop to 750px wide, and height is set to auto. I recommend doing 750x350ish, though going bigger is usually better to size down with. If it squishes weird, I can help fix in post. :)

Bonus round: what's the most absurd run you've done?

I tried to do renegade once, but I always end up going paragon by the end. I just can't be a dick to my crew, no matter how hard I try... 😢

 

Please, share your thoughts, before I go making an AI Dean to post here so I have someone to talk to.

"Shepard, I need you to read a bedtime story to the salarian councilor, but DO NOT tell Anderson."

You don't need to use your real info here in order to make a fun one, so do your worst!

 

Come, sit down at the study table with us, and do anything but.

 

There wasn’t a Lemmy community yet for the impending RedditExodus, so I figured “why not be the change you want to see in the world,” and here we are.

To kick things off: Tell me your favorite working theory for the upcoming game.
