You know, it's genuinely sad to me that aging favourite character actors no longer have any fun murder-mystery tv shows to guest-star as murders on.

Luis whiteboard doodle. I lowkey think I cooked with this guys

Kind of inspired it off of @crumb-crumblet-s-crumbington style idk if it looks like it or not I was mainly going for how they animate since it’s more simplified 💔💔💔

So I was reading articles about John Hurt (as I do when I procrastinate on life in general lol) and I saw a still shot of a movie I’ve never seen still shots of before; so I looked it up. It’s a play. I was worried I wouldn’t find it in full online; but I did, so here it is in all its glory:

He’s just… ugh I want to gently hold his face in my hands he’s just so sad and lonely with his weepy voice and eye bags. I couldn’t process half of what he said but I think this is a warning about always speed-running through life to get to the next good thing. We should appreciate the moment; because in the end, we’ll have nothing at all but our memories. If we rush through life, we won’t have any memories to keep us warm at night when the chill of death creeps up on us in our old age.

Also, spool, spooooooooooollll…….

I make no secret of the fact that my feelings regarding the paragon/renegade system in mass effect are mixed at best, but while playing andromeda I also found that the lack of it lowered the overall experience. The choices and their effects felt less hard-hitting and rewarding. So how to fix the system?

As it is, the balance falls along the lines of, as I've previously summed it up, 'reasonable person' vs 'raging asshole who everyone still trusts anyway'. A lot of the time it felt as if the games couldn’t make up their minds about what they wanted renegade to be: a ruthless Shepard prepared to make hard choices for the good of all, or an outright evil Shepard who cares only about defeating the reapers (and possibly about human supremacy over aliens). Either of these routes would be interesting, but with the games waffling between them and an ending that cares little for your previous choices, neither of them hits the mark. We do have instances of making truly hard choices, some darker than others (shoot at brainwashed colonists trying to murder you or complicate things by subduing them, encourage inexperienced civilians to join the army against the reapers or not, choose whether to use medicine now knowing it'll run out or save it for later knowing it'll kill people now, choosing whether to lie to the krogan and let the genophage continue to gain military support from both the krogan and the salarians, etc), but they are watered down by choices such as "punch a reporter", "insist on xenophobia agianst aliens" and "make a guy drink poison".

So lets say they leaned into the renegade as evil thing. Personally, I can see this going in one of two ways:

1. It becomes impossible to actually win the game. You keep getting allies killed and losing civilian support until you're screwed.

2. You can still win, but at a much higher cost than in the games as is, since a renegade Shepard doesn’t actually care about costs. A paragon destroy ending could mean finding a way to kill only the reapers and letting other AI live, while a renegade destroy could mean destroying the reapers, yes, but also genocide against allies and a galactic dark age. Renegade control could show Shepard turning into an all-controlling god, while paragon control could make them a benevolent one. Maybe synthesis as an ending could only be unlocked by gaining enough paragon points, as a renegade Shepard only cares about winning, not about compromise. This would also make the less-than-popular endings more interesting, as they would rely more on your actions throughout the game.
