    Perpetual UK Politics thread

    Probably because I don't read this thread religiously and have no idea what particular links you're referring to, but I opened this thread today and see you posting trash from a muck-raking blog akin to Breitbart like it's truth, and then spinning it to be even worse than implied for ...

    Perpetual UK Politics thread

    Aside from the fact that you used that open sewer Guido Fawkes as a source for your assertion, something nobody of any sense should ever do, your link doesn't back up your ludicrous spin anyway. That was not a bill to "look harder at people returning from countries like Syria", but a bill to...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Yeah I thought I was really going to like Liam from the promos, seemed like he'd slot in nicely as Ryder's supportive bro, but he turns out to be both boring and a bit of a loose cannon knob. Conversely, I find myself liking Peebee a lot more than I thought I would, her cavalier attitude is more...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Yeah I agree there were some fairly obvious seeds for DLC or perhaps a sequel like the ones you mentioned, as well as the unresolved plot line of Unfortunately the hiatus kinda puts a dampener on what previously seemed pretty likely. What hope I do have lies in the fact that DLC is quite often...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    There's going to be at least one more major patch sometime in June (hoping for at least 2 more but ehhhh) according to the road map they put out beginning of April, which will add improved character creation as well as a bunch more bug fixes/animation improvements presumably. Supposedly they'll...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    It was already pretty easy to win in gold without communication before, except people are now using more classes and weapons than vanquisher anything, equaliser asari adepts and melee vanguard. Some of the buffs were a bit too strong (looking at you Shadow sniper rifle), but overall I think they...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    I entirely agree. It's one of the reasons I don't like crafting systems in games unless it's a BG2 style not really crafting find a unique material on the corpse of a dragon or other elite monster and bring it to that one dwarf blacksmith who will make you a one of a kind legendary item. Instead...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Crafted gear is better than store bought, so money is pretty useless in this game so deconstruct everything and buy extra resources when you need them. That and strike team mission boxes means I have never been short of the research points or minerals to develop or build anything. For Vanadium...

    I have had a couple minor things like emails about characters or events which are out of order, but in this particular instance:

    Perpetual UK Politics thread

    I used to like Corbyn, and supported him initially. I thought people were exaggerating his weaknesses and inability to move with the times. I was wrong. He's so fucking clueless and incompetent. I still think his heart is in the right place, but that's utterly meaningless when he can't...

    I strongly suspect it's so she can stay in power as long as possible, and she's made the calculation that the UK populace would prefer someone burn down the house then have to admit they were wrong to vote leave.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Depends slightly on what difficulty you play on - I'm on hardcore so enemies have more health anyway, so if you're playing on normal then the Raptor might work better. You get the Raptor blueprints for free, no research needed, and you get so many crafting materials from the strike team missions...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    For some reason a lot of guns have different stats in SP and MP. Raptor and Vanquisher are both king in MP but do much less damage in SP. Earlier in the thread I was recommending trying the Raptor as the best assault rifle in SP based off how good it is in MP (shits all over the Sandstorm...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    I don't necessarily disagree with the overall thrust of your post, that the imbalance is possibly a bit overblown at the moment, but certainly i'm finding most ARs and shotguns weak on silver, let alone gold. I should not be emptying a clip into some mook's head at short range and he's still...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    MP strength on gold seems to be in this order: Vanquisher is stupid OP on all classes> Raptor is strong on most classes and stupid OP on classes with Turbocharge> Biotic melee classes are stupid OP against Outlaw, decent against Kett, bit annoying to use vs Remnant.> Some other guns like Black...

    Theresa May wants snap General Election on June 8

    I'd definitely play the Command & Conquer game based off this idea.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    I think it's a bit unfair to put it all on Bioware like this, not to ignore the fact that it was released basically unfinished, and that I and many others paid a shit load of money to beta test it for them. We don't know if 2) is true but I doubt it - from timing of release it seems likely it...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Just got my Duelist today, my god is it fantastic. Crazy teleporting around like you're Nightcrawler, cutting people apart then poofing away to kill their friends. When it goes right you're this unkillable ninja cum whirlwind of death. The only minor flaw is that the melee lockon is a bit...

    On Russia's Involvement in the Politics of the US (and Other Nations)

    Of course it matters. Hilary can have run a shitty campaign and have been a shitty candidate who deserved to lose for a multitude of reasons*, but that really doesn't change the fact that Russia tipping the balance, or at least doing it's best too, is a hostile act, should be viewed as such, and...

    On Russia's Involvement in the Politics of the US (and Other Nations)

    It's a known fact that they are financing, to the tune of millions of dollars, Marine Le Pen and the Front National in France, and Frauke Petry and the Afd in Germany - far right parties with an anti-EU bent. Of course they're still trying. I mean, with Brexit and Trump's victory, why would they...
