We still have Red Dead Redemption 2 and Battlefront 2 later this year which will also be GotY candidates.


Unless they make drastic changes to Battlefront 2 from what they did with Battlefront, it's not going to make GotY.

because I spent 80+ hours hanging out with them


They also have loyalty missions and a ton of development for a single game. It's really hard to not like some of the companions by the end of the game unless you literally don't ever talk to them.

Among their sources listed as trusted "fact checkers":
CNN, Snopes, New York Times, and Washington Post.


I know snopes does Fact Checking, but aren't CCN, NYT, and Washington Post just normal new sites and not fact checkers? Not to mention all three being free lead to the issue of posting click bait stuff to earn revenue. And a lot of time with click bait, all the facts are not being presented leading to something that isn't completely true.

Kind of weird choices to pick for fact checkers.

Snopes "fact checking" is partial


My point on snopes vs the others was that it actually does fact checking compared to the others that mainly report news. It seems odd to be using news sites as fact checkers especially when they are known to not display all the facts.

Just because there's only 3 known Ardat Yakshi, doesn't mean more can't exist. Ardat Yakshi aren't exactly running around in the open and chose to live isolated. Plus the only 3 we know about are Samara's daughter's.

Also there are less severe casses that are more common of the disorder which is inflicted upon 1% of the population.

Also the area where you are suppose to meet Banshees for the first time is the Ardat-Yakshi Monastery.

If it costs 11 dollars per meal sounds like meals on wheels is horribly cost ineffective good lord.

On top of that, they nerfed melee(which was the most reliable way to grind for better gear given how weak the starting weapons and how poor abilities are in multiplayer) and buffed Kett(because Kett were dying for buffs).

They didn't even change melee damage. The only change they made was that you can now be staggered if you keep trying to melee big targets like berserkers. And the only changes they made to the Kett were bugfixes.


Being able to be staggered out of melee against bosses hurts melee in Gold, because you'll face them more often. And Melee builds were pretty good in Gold, because of how Melee damage isn't completely gated by getting a random drop.

It's not hard to be better than the Katana. But Shotguns in general are pretty weak in the multiplayer. Right now the meta heavily favors sniper rifles. More specifically the Vanquisher.

Any tips for a guy who has only done two multiplayer games and kind of sucked in both?


First you want to buy up Basic packs to get all the common stuff to X. It's cheap and a Human Character X has more skill points than a Character 1. Also this gets you a lot of extra supplies which will be needed above Bronze.

Second, despite the melee nerf. Melee Vanguard is still probably the best way to grind out for packs. Melee builds should still work pretty well in Bronze and Silver, but you do lack team utility.

It's more that it didn't do much to address what the community thought was already bad. Mostly related to how weak the weapons and combos are.


On top of that, they nerfed melee(which was the most reliable way to grind for better gear given how weak the starting weapons and how poor abilities are in multiplayer) and buffed Kett(because Kett were dying for buffs).

Also the Mattock sucks even more now. The Predator does more damage the Mattock.

The issue is that Bullet Sponges are not fun to play against, which is what ME:A multiplayer is. Enemies have high health pools while weapon and power damage is low.

If anything Andromeda is a step back for gay romances in Bioware games. There are only two male romances apparently? I haven't even met the other one. But the one on the ship has a generic custom character face and no where near as much dialogue as far as I know. They don't even get the same attention for the love scene as well. I believe they're also adding more in future updates in regards to this.


The other guy you don't meet until you hit Chapter 6(I think, it's when you can go to Kadara).

There's an overpopulation problem and obsession with capitalism in this world.... and this article wants us to bring more people in? The fuck?

The overpopulation problem is more of a poor country thing, where people have like 5 kids. Rich people in first world countries generally don't breed.


This. People confuse the global overpopulation issue with places like the US needing more births in order to keep the country running. If you think our infrastructure is crumbling now, just imagine how much worse it will be in 20-30 years with the shrinking middle class meaning even less tax revenue.


The middle class shrinking is far more complicated then simply there not being enough babies being born.

Money has been slowly moving out of the middle class. We have a growing poor and rich class.

I really can't take any article that uses the term "Friendzone" seriously. Some people just aren't romantically compatible and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being friends with that person.

Anyways the issue is more that the cost of having a baby is pretty high and wages haven't really risen much and younger people can't exactly afford houses all that well either. It's pretty rough trying to start a family at a young age for most people.

I doubt all 8 schools would accept a dummy just because of her race. She probably has a solid GPA and SAT and resume or whatever the hell they want from kids nowadays.


I feel like many people don't fully understand Affirmative Action either. Affirmative Action gives incentives to create a diversity. It's still not going to get a school to accept someone below their standards just because they are a certain race.

“Everyone who received your application was inspired by your passion, determination, accomplishments, and heart,” the acceptance letter read.

Imagine his thesis

"It was her turn. It was her turn. It was her turn. It was her turn. It was her turn. It is her turn. It is her turn. It is her turn. It is her turn. It is her turn. It will be her turn. It will be her turn. It will be her turn. It will be her turn. It will be her turn."


Acceptance letters aren't hand made per each student. It's just a base letter with blanks for the person's name and any scholarship they earned.

Yeah that's what I figured anyway. Pretty obvious the essay had nothing to do with it

Yeah if anything he got in despite the essay, which was obviously just an IRL shitpost. But Admiral gonna stay being a race baiting clown.


He also only ever seems to make topics about colleges. Makes me think he might just be a college student himself since he cares so much about what other college kids are doing.

That was the second attempt after it was shut down for repairs because the lights died in a week.

The sad thing is they are getting government funding for it when it's not going anywhere and it would be cheaper and more effective to just build solar panel roofs over every road.

I'm going to stop you right here. How does using solar panels as a flat surface for vehicles to drive over generate any meaningful amount of electricity?

Not to mention that the solar roads with hasn't even been shown to work at all with the little experiment they got to do on a sidewalk.
