Same. I buy exclusively digital for the convenience, but how can they claim this is a physical version of the game when it doesn't physically include the game? It's not even a loophole at those point. It's just a lie.

You should try cream cheese with a spicy pepper jelly on crackers! So good.

Probably the most tame one in here, but I love to mix mayo with a little mustard to dip my french fries in. Baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, seasoning salt, and malt vinegar are also really good.

😐

I'm not even sure I need to read the rest of the thread after this comment. You win by default! I guess it makes as much sense as anchovies on pizza though.

Idk how obscure it is, but I was just looking for Zoids Chaotic Century last night and couldn't find it on any streaming service, so I checked Amazon for a DVD copy only to see people want $150+ for used copies of the show... Sucks that it's so hard to find now!

I feel like most people make an exception for the 19 year old kid. I haven't spoken to anyone who doesn't feel bad about him, but maybe that's just my circles.

We don't get to pick and choose who's lives have value, even if they do something risky or stupid.

But isn't that exactly what happens? Was there as much of a rescue effort to find the hundreds of missing Pakistani migrants who went missing off the coast of Greece last week? Was it even as widely covered in the media as 5 missing rich people in a sub? Have you even heard that they were missing before this comment?

What about the 5,000 missing and murdered indigenous women who disappear every year? Are we mobilizing the military to find them?

We absolutely pick and choose whose lives have value. That's the problem.

I think that years of struggle just to meet basic needs leads to dangerous anger, resentment, and bitterness. Tbh billionaires are the ones who have rigged the system against us with decades of lobbying and most, if not all of them, would gladly see us dead in a cost benefit analysis if it gained them profit, so I have no problem with people taking pleasure in their misfortune. They made their choices and current public opinion is the consequence of that. No one gets to and stays at billionaire status off of pure merit alone...

Exactly. Mississippi checking in. o/

I'm not surprised in the least.

I work in healthcare and I've been so burnt out after working through COVID despite how politicized it was, not knowing if I was risking my life, my loved ones' lives, or my own permanent sense of smell and taste, all while getting told off by ignorant, selfish pieces of crap just for wearing a mask and taking an illness that I personally witnessed kill many people seriously, not to mention being overworked and understaffed for literally YEARS due to a combination of baby boomers retiring while simultaneously increasing the need for healthcare workers by needing more care as they age, coworkers finding other jobs because of their own burnout, and hospital administration trying to maximize profits at the expense of the workers and at the expense of patient care that I just up and resigned from my own job a week ago.

I don't even know what I'm going to do. I withdrew my retirement account early and I'm just taking some time to figure it out right now. Tbh though, the idea of going back to healthcare makes me feel physically ill. And that's really sad because I got into it to help people, but after the way people acted during the worst pandemic we've had in a century I don't want to help anyone anymore. I just want a normal 9 to 5 where I'll have weekends, evenings, and holidays off and very little to zero risk of bringing a contagious and deadly or debilitating virus home to my family.

IMO you nailed it. It's not a bad game per se, especially after they fixed some things, but it's no where near the quality of the original ME trilogy.

I don't know if you consider this a spoiler or not, so maybe stop reading here if you're concerned about that... But the thing that bothered me the most was the lack of alien diversity. They went to a whole other GALAXY and both of the new sentient alien species they encounter are bipedal carbon-based lifeforms. To add to the disappointment every race that came to Andromeda is also bipedal and mostly carbon based, so it's actively less alien than the original games even though we're in a whole new galaxy. No hanar. No Volus. No elcor.

And every Asari face is literally the same model except for the crew member you have with you. They all have literally the same face. Idk. It really bothered me.

Another thing that's annoying is you have less control over your squad mates in combat. I really enjoyed the way combat sometimes felt like a puzzle in the OT, bringing certain people for certain enemies and combining powers so each of you are stronger together. It felt like teamwork even though it's really all you. In Andromeda they basically just made the main character OP instead and that's the only one you control.

With that said, it's still fun! And I think it's worth a playthrough or even two. Just don't expect it to be Mass Effect.
