I'm so sick of how monetized fandom has become. Half the images are cropped with a link to patreon and fuck if there's anything that makes me want to engage with fandom content less than it being put behind a paywall. I feel like USA's hustle culture and the inability to have a hobby without turning it into a business and milking it for money are the main culprits here, but tbh I don't even care, I'm just sick of it. Meanwhile fic writers have to beg for comments, so the stark contrast just irritates me even more.

#it'd be a cold day in hell when I pay for fandom content #this is supposed to be a community #and don't come at me with the “ooh but it's nsfw content and that's why- blah blah”#no that's not why actually #people have options for nsfw content #but the majority don't opt for them bc they can charge you for your horniness instead #and you keep enabling it #and in the same breath complain about capitalism #it's almost like the problem is within

As someone whose native language has grammatical genders I HAAAAATE it when in English people refer to objects as "she" (or "he" but I can't recall hearing this one). For ships it's fine I guess since it's something that's been done for a long time but nowadays in my experience it's always from women referring to bags, cosmetics, etc as "her" and that's just so yikes to me

#got so pissed off I quit doomscrolling #which is a good thing I guess lmao #just say 'it' ffs #trying to personify whatever bs you spent too much money on...#can't wait for this trend to fucking die

Boo hoo

While optimization in early stages could probably be wasted time it's not like Larian did decent optimization in their """finished product""" either considering how BG3's Act 3 was/still is(?) complete mess and at least at the beginning some people couldn't even set foot near Gortash's ceremony bc that part was so fucking horrid to their computers. So game makers should absolutely optimize their games better instead of relying on consumers to buy the newest most expensive shit just bc they didn't feel like doing the work and decided they can get away with it.

#I'm tired of bloated shit #optimize your products #and if the problem is that the engine can't handle the project then cut it into parts and put some goddamn loading screens #instead of leaving a mess

no matter what terrible rating an AAA game has I still expect it to have separate setting for the dialogue audio if it came out in the last decade or so but no, apparently that's too much to ask...

#I always reduce everything else except for the dialogue audio bc I want to hear that well #without getting my eardrums blasted by music and effects and whatnot #every time I have to watch a video of someone else playing smth #I'm surprised that ppl don't do as I do #but that setting is so important to me and I expect to have it in a game that came out 6 years ago...#that's not a lot to ask for from a AAA game ffs #this is especially important if mission critical info is almost exclusively given through dialogue

oh how I've waited for the Larian bootlicking to finally come to an end or at least die down a little bit. The parasocial worshiping was so incredibly frustrating to see ngl. I'm an og hater feeling vindicated yes get on my page finally lmaooo

#I was hating on them before it was cool lmao #coming online here after 1+ month of inactivity just to be a hater

Thank fuck for that. A sensible decision, kinda surprising ngl. I really thought Amazon would just be doing a quick cash grab via Shepard (the rumor was that the TV show would be based on Mass Effect 1) but it seems someone realized how much of a bad idea it would been to make a TV show based on the story of an RPG game, especially one with some big decisions, and how borderline insulting it would be to players to basically "canon-ize" certain decisions.

#mass effect #my posts #no matter what the tv show will ignore 2 of the 3 endings #tbh I don't mind if they go with destroy bc it's the only one that makes sense anyway #and the only one that would've existed if bioware didn't try to put a big last minute decision in me3

instead of making up a new character to wear Gale's skin (dark Gale) just embrace Gortash, that's a dark Gale

#dark G*le irks me so much bc in order for that to even work you need to remove core traits from the character #so that's no longer the same character #g*lemancer d*rge ft ex d*rgetash is where it's at lmao #sry for all the *s but I don't actually want this showing in searches #it's just a vent of sorts ig

I haven't played all the classes in ME yet but I feel like Vanguard would always be my absolute fav class for Shepard bc it brings a certain level of unhingedness to the character that fits nicely in the narrative, not to mention the very definition of the word vanguard fits Shepard perfectly. I also love a biotic Shepard both bc a biotic being the first human Spectre is satisfying considering how human biotics don't have it easy with the general public's opinions, but also on a ship-y level I like the idea of biotic!Shepard and Kaidan together. Also on a ship-y level - Shepard charging into banshees and giving poor Kaidan high blood pressure is just amusing to me lmao

KAIDAN ALENKO

#kaidan alenko #kaidan #mass effect #mass effect 3 #me3 #photomode adventures continue

I decided to use Photomode a bit more so have some Kaidan! I love glowing eyes due to power use, 100/10 design choice always

#kaidan alenko #kaidan #mass effect #mass effect 3 #my posts #finally some decent lighting #unlike in the crew quarters where it was godawful

My hot take about Gale's romance scenes in Act 2 (or rather about fans' opinions on both of them) is that it's fine to have a preference for either scene, but there are way too many people who prefer the bed scene and then go about insisting it's the correct(tm) one and at this point I don't believe them when they say it's bc that's better for Gale (funny how Gale's own preference is ignored bc the player knows better actually *coughLikeMystraDidEhcough*) but rather it's bc in the astral scene they feel like they would be compared to Mystra (as this is how she and Gale had sex) and their egos can't take potentially not living up to the level of magical sex that the goddess of magic could give. While in the bed scene they would reign supreme bc Mystra was never interested in that sort of sex. I've seen so much jealousy from Galemancers and in general it always takes the shape of anti-magic rhetoric which ultimately would not benefit Gale who loves magic and considers it a part of himself, but it's so irritating that it's always dressed up as being better for Gale while in reality it's just people being insecure.

#I'm sick of people saying the bed scene is the correct one #just choose what you want but one scene is significantly longer and directly explores Gale's personality traits and the other doesn't #guess why that is

I'm having Kaidan shoot Udina this time around for sure

#kaidan alenko #kaidan #udina #commander shepard #shepard #mass effect #mass effect 3 #my posts #I still like Shepard shooting Udina more tho

I thought the "maybe you got better with age" semi-flirty comment from Shepard, and Kaidan's "don't tell me if you're flirting" reply were only for femShep who romanced Kaidan in ME1 but apparently they're left like that even for mShep lmaoo It goes amazingly well with my "Shepard had a huge crush on Kaidan since ME1 and is not hiding it well anymore" hc

#shenko #fshenko #mshenko #kaidan alenko #kaidan #commander shepard #shepard #mass effect #mass effect 3 #my posts #for once my character deciding to be flirty without my input is to my liking

I made a post a month ago about how I wish Bioware had put Spectre Kaidan in the Spectre Office in ME3 to have chats with Shepard or comment on Shepard's decisions at the Intel terminal so I finally decided to write a little something about that ft making out as well bc I also wish we had casual kisses in ME3

#I forgot to do a next-day reblog so this is next 4-day reblog or smth #it feels lackluster to post a fic for a kinda desolate 10+ years old fandom but here we are #15 ppl enjoyed it enough to at least kudo it tho and I scratched my itch so

ah yes, help, kill, and "I should go" lmao
