tbf I don't think I've ever met someone more ambitious than you when it comes to making out with hot blue aliens

Next on "Plums Catches Up on Games Most Other People Finished Years Ago," started Mirror's Edge! I am trash at the controls but slowly improving (the balance beam parts are the worst)

I'm still trying to sort out my thoughts, but on the whole it's okay to me. I watched the original without the Extended Cut on YouTube and hated it, so anything better than that's passable to me, lmao. I do still have a lot of critiques about the finale though:

Spoiler: this is long

I'll just talk about from the Cerberus HQ strike to the end since I can't pick a specific point, lol. Kai Leng was...I don't even know what to say. Ridiculous is probably the best word choice. The idea of a space ninja is hilarious, but he felt so out of place. ESPECIALLY WITH HIS SWORD. Why is he still carrying around a sword when this is a future with guns, biotics (which he has), a tool that can shift into a blade. Him being the arch nemesis of Anderson and then Shepard was so out of left field, not to mention Shepard losing to him for no reason other than that purpose. Miranda said it best, "That slippery *******'s still alive?"

I will admit though, it was really satisfying taking the Renegade Interrupt to break his sword and impale him with the Omni-tool blade, lmao. sucks to suck space ninja.

From the Earth part, I would've liked to see what the rest of the galactic fleet was doing and seeing those key characters/races in action more. Give me a Salarian saving a Krogan, give me the Geth and a Quarian going over battle plans, something to hit home that they're united and working together. I liked that we got to talk to the crew before the sprint to the Catalyst, though I wish there would've been stuff for the other crew too (talk with Joker and EDI over comm, Miranda or Jacob, etc.)

I liked the stuff with the Illusive Man. I'm glad it wasn't a boss fight, he always reliedon his intelligence and planning to get him where he is, and it's good they continued that to the end. I missed the Renegade Interrupt the first time I played (I accidentally started the Synthesis end since I thought there was gonna be a terminal or s/t to choose the ending by the light), and even though I had a feeling Anderson would die, I remembered the London trip he promised and was way too sad ;~;

STARCHILD. I hate Starchild. That whole explanation of the Reapers' creation and greater purpose, even though one of them -- Sovereign I think? -- said stuff to that effect, was bullshit. They're not preserving anything about the old species, a Banshee isn't gonna sit down and talk with you about Asari culture ffs. AND THEN WHEN YOU ASK WHO CREATED STARCHILD IT'S JUST LIKE "well I could tell you but I'm not going to" The fact that the actual truth that is pretty damn relevant to the lore is locked behind a DLC is way more frusturating.

On Shepard's role, yeah the shep is a messiah thing wasn't handled well. I played mostly Paragon, so she'd always be asserting that she's just a soldier and it's her and her crew that are doing all these great things, but everyone else kept praising her at every turn. This is probably my major complaint about ME3, there weren't really as many meaningful character moments as I would've liked. Liara, Garrus, Ashley/Kaiden, Tali, and Legion all had really good ones, but they should've kept up the momentum of that. I wanna see Tali give commands out to the fleet & the Geth in the last battle and lead a charge, or Garrus and Wrex broing up and going at enemies trying to flank you. They could've involved the rest of the crew (past and present) in the final battle in a way that creates tension like the lead up to the Suicide Mission in ME2. I wanted to see them all be capable -- even though Shepard still gets the most important role in making the choice at the end, it would've been their crew that enabled them to reach that because they can handle themselves and are gonna finally help Shep now after Shep helped them through basically everything.

MASS EFFECT IS FINISHED

Spoiler: ME3 Ending Spoilers

I had the Extended Cut downloaded, so the ending wasn't the legendary mess (watched the original sequences and what a disaster), though it was still pretty messy. I don't really mind that too much though -- I feel the same about it as I do the Kill la Kill finale v:

I went with the Destroy Ending. As much as I love my Shep and everything she is, Catalyst!Shep isn't her and I wouldn't trust anyone with sole control of the Reapers, even if they were a Paragon saint. Synthesis...lol. I like the idea of it, and it certainly spares EDI and the geth, but it raises the question of what happens when they invent intergalactic travel and meet with lifeforms that aren't the "final evolution" Are they gonna force them to synthesize? Are they gonna treat them like they're lesser beings and set them on a path to "correct" evolution? All of the above are kinda what the Reapers were doing???? There's this whole element of superiority that is hella unnerving to think about, so that didn't feel right. And also it felt like wayyyy too big a decision for Shep to make alone, that the entire galaxy is ready for this and down for this.

I also have hope EDI and the geth survived Destroy since Shep took the blast IN HER FACE despite being part synthetic, and she was alive (and probably real tired of this ****, lol). Plus I'm sure EDI and the geth probably have some sort of backup and can be reactivated, but that might just be my justification for it. ;~; It sucks they didn't have Shepard think about them when hearing that though! It would've made making the decision in real time a lot harder than it was (tbh I didn't even think about them until Kites pointed it out while we were talking). My ~headcanon~ is Destroy happens then the events of Citadel, and then my Shep and her space girlfriend Kelly Chambers will move to a nice world on a beach and have a happy and hectic life together with the Normandy crew living not too far away.

That's a funny way of spelling "Garnet" :b

Steins;Gate's anime adaptation was so good, I've been excited for years for the game to finally get a port.

Started Mass Effect 3, I'm honestly really curious to get to the end to see why it's as infamous as it is -- downloaded the Extended Cut & Citadel DLC so I might just have to look up the ~original~ end on Youtube or something.

also me3 plays like a dream, I haven't lagged at all during combat

thought the ME3 data import would mess up my Shep but she looks so good ;~;

I made an extra save in ME2 to romance Garrus for the trophy (because I am committed to YEOMAN CHAMBERS and liara i guess), and had to start the final mission to do it. Oh...my god. my god. that was so stressful and i didn't even finish.

Finishing it tomorrow is gonna be an experience, and then the Shadow Broker DLC and FINALLY MASS EFFECT 3.

guess who remembered their promise to set you to 999 posts permanently and leave you a normie forever more enjoy your premhood while you can... 8)

Pins are being given out now! You should get it pretty soon today~

I don't think it does? I get that Tumblr fandoms being obnoxious & how that stuff can extend to the show, but Steven Universe doesn't really cater to tumblr so much as tumblr tries to get ~ super deep ~ about it. There are definitely progressive themes in the show regarding feminism and stuff like consent and puberty (which is ****in' awesome), but the show itself doesn't "force" it onto you. It's very much targeted towards its primary demographic (kids), and a feel good show that anyone in their family could watch with them and enjoy.

I felt off put about it because of tumblr till a couple months ago when I sat down to watch it (the same is happening w/ Orange is the New Black lol), but you may find that the show is different from the way people are exaggerating it to be. Not to knock people analyzing things they watch (the show's creator actually encourages people to tear SU apart lol), but there are people who get way too obnoxious or borderline awful ( e.g. immediately saying the concept they used as a consent metaphor was for sexual assault even though it involved the child protagonist v: ), and I find it's much easier getting into things if you tune tumblr out and focus on your enjoyment of the thing.

Mass Effect 2 on PS3

Beat ME1 on Wednesday, trying to see if I can finish the entire trilogy before I start work next week. @_@
