Leaked trailer for the cancelled game Mass Effect: Universe

Reply in thread

My favorite is still ME2. I feel like it did the best balancing action and RPG elements without becoming too "Call of Duty"-esque or being weighed down by RPG bullshit or time sink.

ME1's "you can hold a sniper rifle, but you're too brain dead to use it" if you didn't pick Soldier was a great example of being too RPG bullshit to me. You're telling me I have the accuracy of a drunk child with a sniper rifle because I picked playing Adept or Engineer? I'm glad they fixed it in the remake.

Trump, 80, Is Psychotic and It’s Getting Worse, Says Cognitive Doctor

We all know Trump has serious mental decline issues. It's obvious just looking at him, reading his messages, and listening to his speech. Something is wrong with the man.

That said, I find it irksome that some doctors will say things like this with seeming 100% confidence, while not having done an actual examination of the person in-person, beyond analyzing their media appearances. Doctors are supposed to be science-based. They should only be saying things in a manner that "suggests" or "trends", but always with the qualifier of "further diagnosis is required". Otherwise, you fall into PopSci territory and it cheapens the whole thing.

I know I'm nitpicking, but I feel keeping objectiveness and clinical impartiality brings more trustworthiness and weight to what they're saying.
