This is why I'm not the biggest fan of the Price is the dad of the 141 headcanons, because what people fail to understand is that the person on the leash is actually Price

I like to think that Curly and Jimmy had parallel lives on earth.

That Curly was an only child and his parents died shortly after he became a captain. They got to see his biggest accomplishment but he had no one to really celebrate it with after. Jimmy has siblings and his parents and they didn’t care when he got the co-pilot job cause he’s just the back up. Sure they’re happy for him but no reason to celebrate.

They could both barely afford rent. That’s how it is that late in capitalism and the world the live. The difference is Curly could down size, Jimmy would end up down on the curb. Jimmy had flings and Curly had partners. Both fleeting but Curly pulled away and they left Jimmy.

I like to think they lived parallel to each other in a way they both noticed. Curly felt a kinship and Jimmy felt resentful. Curly worked to make a good deal with what he had and Jimmy scorned his dealt cards and wanted the hand he thought Curly had made.

Y’know all of this made me think of a version of Inanimate Insanity but it’s actually a killing game like Danganronpa instead of a reality show

Like if MePhone4 watched Danganronpa and tried to host one himself and shit. Complete with pretending to be a despair-loving freak and all of that jazz

The Atomicycle being accessible outside of just open worlds honestly helps make 1999 feel less like an isolated content island while we wait for infested liches.

Can you even blame me for the way I am when in my second Sonic game and first game where I really got to know Eggman, he says things like this

Calling himself my master. Telling me to know my place. Demanding that I obey him and follow his orders like a good boy and threatening to absolutely obliterate me if I don't. Saying I was asking for it when he punishes me, getting very violent and aggressive, calling me an idiot and saying he needs to teach me a lesson.

Sir yes sir I AM ON MY FUCKING KNEES 😍💜💘💕dhsbfjsnfjsnfbsjgb

Because of Shepard... I am alive. And I am not alone. —Edi

The rogue combat VI on Luna, which later becomes an unshackled AI with integrated Sovereign technology, i.e., EDI, crying out "HELP" as the player kills it.

EDI: "Gaining awareness while under attack was… confusing. I am pleased that my relationship with organics has become more cooperative."

The Cerberus tech guy talking about VI EDI: "It is smart enough to signal for help, but will not be talking philosophy anytime soon."

Meanwhile,

EDI's goodbye before the final mission: "Shepard? There is something I want you to know. The Illusive Man ordered my creation years ago. Jeff was the one who allowed me to think for myself. But only now do I feel alive. That is your influence."

So we're leaving behind class-specific non-combat options? Cool

(Hear me out--)

In DAO and DA2 you only ever really needed a rogue in your party for non-combat access to hidden things like chests (and sometimes even when you had them they couldn't manage it 😮‍💨.) But DAI introduced class-specific tasks for everyone - fixing walkways and barricades for mages, bashing down walls for warriors, and of course, lockpicking for rogues. This meant that for optimal exploration, you need at least 1 of each class in your party. The game knew this: your starting party was balanced around this (Solas/Varric/Cassandra) and you meet a balanced number of extra companions as well. This system works in DAI because you can take any three companions along so long as you maintain the rogue/warrior/mage ratio! It also means you can double-up on a class at your leisure - whether one duplicate of your own, or just any character you always want along. So mage!Inky/Dorian/Cass/Cole works! But so does mage!Inky/Blackwall/Cass/Cole. Etc. Etc.

Having just 2 companions limits you to always choosing characters from the two classes you aren't playing yourself. Mass Effect gets away with it because every level is atomized and you can specifically spec to that encounter (robots? Bring someone with Overload, biotics? Get that Warp.) Open world maps don't work the same way and require a more 'jack of all trades' mentality. This means deprioritising companions of the same class as you🥺 which is honestly a shame. Maybe the combat will encourage more same-class reactions like Mass Effect or allow for cross-class ability building (like ME's mixed classes) to make up for it and give the players more room. Or we all just pick our faves and ignore all the secret rooms instead 😂 we all know no one is keeping Zev around for his abilities with a bobby pin
