  • For context, I have fond memories of dog fighting in this game a long time ago.

    Seeing the patch noted posted here makes me reminisce, and mashing the spacebar was an unforgettable part of the experience.

    Turning off life support in every engagement for a minor efficiency boost always made me feel like a Mirror Universe captain 😎

  • He pulls back an entire fleet after Worf quotes Kaylee’s Kahless to him, which I felt demonstrated how Gowron deep down values honor.

    After that though he decides to give Martok the Flavius Aetius treatment, despite how slimy it is.

    Edit: kahless

    Edit 2: forgot to agree with you! Ultimately he’s very cartoonish because he goes so hard with his lines and stares. Especially when he threatens to paint the future with blood if the council supports Duras’ heir.

  • The original ending was a very “that’s it?” moment.

    The actually added a new game-over condition, by allowing you to just shoot the annoying reaper child, to quell the frustrations people felt.

    Even in the remaster is still feels like a choice between red, blue, or green color endings.

    RIP Marauder Shields, the true final boss of ME3 🙏

  • That, to me, is the real tragedy of Mass Effect, looking back through this new lens. BioWare seems to have borrowed many concepts from Revelation Space, but very little of it is explored with any depth, and none of the ideas are given new twists that improve upon them.

    Damn, didn’t expect a thoughtful analysis of Revelation Space and its impact on Mass Effect.

    But since Mass Effect avoided most of the extra weird stuff, the ending of Mass Effect 3 never really had a chance to be good.

    Ahh, can’t talk about ME without addressing the elephant in the room the controversial ending.

    Good read 👍

  • Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadran

    Ok not bad, Acapulco is a funny show about working in a resort so I can sorta imagine it in space. Not as sure about the Punkd angle, but I’m remaining optimistic.

  • They left out Enterprise!

  • Starfleet going around to other worlds to fix and moralize about other peoples’ problems, but never needing to self-reflect or improve on themselves.

    There are a few PTSD episodes that at least try : Picard at the chateau and Archer on shore leave after the Xindi adventure.

    I feel these are the best episodes where a character realizes they have changed and not for the better, but I wish there were more.

    Maybe trek is sleeping on the post-adventure recontextualization power of a shore leave coda?
