One thing about playing the Legendary Mass Effect trilogy is stumbling across all the DLC I missed and worrying if my memory is shot until I look it up online.
“Huh. I don’t remember an all out street war on Omega to reclaim it from Cerberus. Wait, is that female turian?!”
Nice little surprises after I haven’t played since ME3 came out.
Also imagine Shepard regaling Garrus about all this after returning to the Normandy and him feeling left out. Garrus would have loved taking back Omega. 🥺

if your dad (1) goads the king into challenging him to a fight, (2) accepts the king's challenge to fight, (3) insults the king's daughter that he's super protective of, and (4) hits the king first in the fight then I don't think you can be that mad when the king accidentally one punch kills your dad. that's kinda on your dad for getting into that situation and I think he might've had some underlying health issues that contributed to the single punch instantly killing him

The brain is just 8 lbs of meat that sits in complete darkness and plays a video game of what it thinks is the most realistic thing ever.
#always astounds me to realize that our sense of self is just a collection neurons and chemicals#firing off and fracturing while trying to maintain a cohesive sense of identity#and we also touch/hear/see/smell/intuit the world around us too?#brains man

The above are concepts classified according to subject and usage. It not only helps writers and thinkers to organize their ideas but leads them from those very ideas to the words that can best express them.
It was, in part, created to turn an idea into a specific word. By linking together the main entries that share similar concepts, the index makes possible creative semantic connections between words in our language, stimulating thought and broadening vocabulary.

"I'm a mage and idk why he's trying to show me magic in this scene, but okay pookie" - comment I've seen at least 3 or 4 variations of.
He's not "trying to show you magic." He's a particular kind of necromancer known as a corpse whisperer. He tells you this within several minutes of meeting you, and that it's rare even among the Mourn Watch, who are an elite group of necromancer already.
Emmrich isn't just a necromancer, he's a Fade expert (that's what he was hired for by the Veilguard, not his necromancy), an alchemist, and it could probably be argued he'd do a passable job teaching philosophy and history as well.
He's showing you HIS magic. He's inviting you to witness the things he finds wonderous, hoping that you do as well. This isn't him condescending to you, he's helping you glimpse something most people can't and hoping it intrigues you, since it's intrinsically part of him, and he cannot hope to have a relationship with someone without them at least accepting it.
(Also casually revealing that he's capable of Talking You Through It but that's a post for ANOTHER TIME)
#nobody puts baby in the corner#he’s trying to share a moment with you#emmrich volkarin#such a sweetheart
