Which one do you mean?


Lets just say the Banshee texture is anatomically correct, and leave it at that.


Actually it's kind of incorrect.  Because... parts of it don't make sense without male asari.

....

:unsure:

Yeah, I've always wondered why Asari would have primary female genitalia. I explain that lore-wise, because they still have to give birth to their newborns the same way mammals do (that is also why they have secondary female genitalia).
OR they are all manipulating/mind-controlling us and Banshees are how Asari actually look like... that really is an unsettling thought.

I think the Protheans "had a hand" in this. Maybe the Protheans "influenced" them more than we know.

Do you mean that one with the "Really, Bioware?" on it?


It's the one and only "hot" picture of the Banshee. Want me to dig it up?

Yeah, I've googled it a few minutes ago. I won't link to not inflict the others here with nightmares and worse.

In all seriousness, what happened to Ash there?

I tried asking, but the topic moved fast enough to ignore it.

Anyways, I am going to sleep cozily hoping not to have disturbing dreams about Ashley and a Banshee.
This is a semi-serious issue, since I once dreamed that I was a Reaper...

So, who sides with Vreenak and who with Sisko?
Here is the poll.

Oh... and please vote. Right now, I am not pleased with the results...

LOL.

"During the Reaper invasion in 2186, Taetrus is one of the first worlds the Reapers attack following their conquest of Khar'shan and Earth. The Turian Hierarchy made two attempts to enter the Mactare system via mass relay to liberate Taetrus, but were unsuccessful. As the Reapers began to pour into the Trebia system and assault Palaven, they broadcasted images of Vallum, again destroyed, to the turian comm buoy network."

That is some epic trolling right there.

So, I'm bored and replaying ME3. Why are there like 5 gifts available in the hospital if Ash is alive and only one for Kaidan?

You can only give each of them one gift anyways, so whats the point in having so many for Ash?


Well, let's look at some of the wrong gifts to give Ashley...


There's Rumi...

There is a community of the spirit.
Join it, and feel the delight
of walking in the noisy street
and being the noise.
Drink all your passion, 
and be a disgrace.
Close both eyes 
to see with the other eye.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.  I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn't make any sense.

When  you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.When actions come from another section, the feelingdisappears.  
Don't let others lead you.  They may be blind or, worse, vultures.Reach for the rope of God.  And what is that?  Putting aside self-will.Because of willfulness people sit in jail, the trapped bird's wings are tied,fish sizzle in the skillet.The anger of police is willfulness.  You've seen a magistrateinflict visible punishment.
Now see the invisible.  
If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you'vebeen torturing your soul.  
We are born and live inside black water in a well.How could we know what an open field of sunlight is?
Don't insist on going where you think you want to go.  
Ask the way to the spring.  Yourliving pieces will form a harmony.  
There is a moving palace that floats in the air with balconies and clear water flowing through, infinity everywhere, yet containedunder a single tent.

As regards feeling pain, like a hand cut in battle,
consider the body a robe you wear.  
When you meet someone you love, do you kiss their clothes?
 Search out who's inside.  
Union with God is sweeter than body comforts.
We have hands and feet different from these.  
Sometimes in dream we see them.
That is not illusion.  
It's seeing truly.  
You do have a spirit body; don't dread leaving the physical one.  
Sometimes someone feels this truth so strongly
that he or she can live in mountain solitude totally refreshed.  
The worried, heroicdoings of men and women seem weary
and futile to dervishes enjoying the light breeze of spirit.

Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu Buddhist, sufi, or zen.
Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West,
not out of the ocean or up from the ground,
not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all. I do not exist,am not an entity in this world or in the next,did not descend from Adam and Eve or any origin story.
My place is placeless, a traceof the traceless. Neither body or soul.I belong to the beloved, have seen the twoworlds as one and that one call to and know,first, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being.

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

How does a part of the world leave the world?
How does wetness leave water? Dont' try to

put out fire by throwing on more fire! Don't
wash a wound with blood. No matter how fast

you run, your shadow keeps up. Sometimes it's
in front! Only full overhead sun diminishes

your shadow. But that shadow has been serving 
you. What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is

your candle. Your boundaries are your quest.
I could explain this, but it will break the

glass cover on your heart, and there's no
fixing that. You must have shadow and light

source both. Listen, and lay your head under
the tree of awe. When from that tree feathers

and wings sprout on you, be quieter than
a dove. Don't even open your mouth for even a coo.


Okay, that's enough Rumi...
Walt Whitman is also a wrong choice, and he was known for embracing trancendentalism...

Two other wrong choices are an avant-garde elcor poet and an asari that believes pessimistically that sentient races can't rise above basic bloodshed...

The correct choice is Tennyson, who is known for Ulysses, which recants a King's distaste for ruling and his longing for the days of adventuring, The Charge of the Light Brigade, which praises the valor of a calvary following orders in the face of death. Break,Break,Break. Which laments loss, but also praises life. There's a lot of poetry about life and death. He also has an epic centered around the story of King Arthur, which ends with Arhtur being mortally wounded slaying Mordred and Excalibur being thrown back into the lake. He's kind of like a classical epic poet...

Yeah, it's super easy. Btw, anyone else noticed that OPs recently are much simpler than they used to be.

They are, I thought it would be so that every week they could have an OP. But every 2 weeks they would have a "normal" OP. This has not happened.

That Drayfish person is driving me insane. S/he is using racism as a buzzword to drive home the point that the writers can't do their jobs. It is making me physically angry.

I think they might have moved her off-screen so that they wouldn't have to waste time loading her char. Posted Image But it doesn't make sense. Why would they put the Virmire KIA model at all in a playthrough that only needs the VS model? They load assets during the load screen.


Well, it's pretty much the same scene, isn't it?
The animator would just load both characters and use the one that is relevant to your Shepard and associated audio tracks, while placing the unused one out of shot - nothing out of the ordinary.
Even should the case be that there are two separate instances of the scene, rather than a single one with logic components, they'd both, more than likely, be exported from the same shared "source" project and I could easily see somebody not cleaning out unused content, before rendering - heck; I'm sure you could knock several megabytes off most game distros, these days, if you applied more stringent "housekeeping" routines.
People are repositioned a lot, in Mass Effect cutscenes. (Why is that deskbound guy, that you are talking to, soaring several feet above his chair and clipping the tabletop? -Because that produces significantly better looking framing, than the otherwise required nigh-birds-eye angle, for your over-the-shoulder camera.)

My  point is that if you don't need an asset, don't load it into memory. IMO that conditional should be put in the load screen code.

If by "it" you mean what I think you mean, people may want to consider not biting.
