The writers: We are smart.

I’m going through Voyager now and I feel like they do this nonsense more than any of the other Treks thus far.

All 3 Mass Effect games!

Run Doom on them?

Kindle.

ADHD usually means that I’ll stop mid-word and want to read something else. If I have all my books in one place, I can still sit in my comfy chair and switch, instead of wasting further hours perusing my library and getting lost in memories of acquiring each book.

It’s the 138th rule.

Oh, dude. The Wiz is absolutely Fiddler on the Roof for black folks! 🤣

Well, the shoes are gold, so I think they were doing their best to appeal.

And, I’ve got a cousin who is amped for Trump and calls Musk a genius (I’m black, so it hurts even more).

You know that episode of Futurama, where Bender made near infinite copies of himself and nearly the destroyed the world?

Yeah that, but maybe a little slowly since I like to procrastinate.

Dang man! What other good ideas have you got??

There was no specific quote, but watching Azula have a bona fide nervous breakdown after all her friends abandoned her was something else even as an adult.

Python!

Oh…oh, I get it. Learn Latin.

Kudos for including some of the Lemmy communities!

You can pretend to listen by nodding and dropping those conversational bits like “oh wow”, “really, that’s crazy”, “you did??” every once in a while. This allows you to be “present” and allow the dramatists to waffle about whatever they want, and yet you won’t have to actually engage in their nonsense.

Also, what drives me forward when job hunting is the spite. Spite is what gives me focus and it helps carry on despite knowing what might may in store.

Oh snap! I never made the connection that was him!! 😭

The Fifth Element’s president.

Not sure if he counts as US President, but they never clarified if he was the president of the US or the world or whatever, so he still counts! 👍

Heyyy…

Where does one find Futurama comics??

I think I can honestly say that Mass Effect changed my life.

Before Mass Effect, I used to be more of a casual gamer; The Sims games and some old school platformers, but nothing really significant.

Mass Effect was the first time I became wholly immersed in a game’s story and characters that I learned everything there was to actually playing the game well. Post-Mass Effect, I feel like an actual gamer. Through it, I started to appreciate shooters and full RPGs, and I really dove into the gaming industry as a whole.

If I had to pinpoint some specific moments, I think those would have been the ability to move from friends to lovers for my Shepard and Garrus in ME2 and my Shepard standing tall and fighting hard in her last moments with the Destroy ending in ME3. I literally cry multiple times throughout ME3 even though I’ve played it a million times, and I enjoy the whole story so much that I’m recording my gameplay and editing into a sort of Mass Effect “show” so I can enjoy the story while I’m just lounging or hop in quickly even if I’m in the midst of playing something else.

Before ME, I would never have considered myself a gaming fan at all, and now there’s ME gear, fanart, cosplay items, and such every few feet in my house. 😅

I’ll add that the “big reveal” in KotOR made me put down the controller and stand outside on the patio for a moment because I was so shocked, but Mass Effect is like amped up KotOR, so I’ll lump them all together.

The kaitco of today is definitely a different person than the kaitco who hadn’t played Mass Effect, and I love the series for that.

Futurama is the reason I finally started watching Star Trek.

As I watched, I saw all the references that Futurama had made which endeared both to me so much more. ☺️
