Where's the timeline where EA doesn't buy Bioware and make them release Mass Effect 2 as a corridor shooter punctuated by cutscenes and conversation prompts?

The difference between ME1 and DA:O and their direct sequels developed under EA's tenure is stark. Honestly, the trend never reversed as those series continued.

Everyone is whining about this requirement. Do you guys not have a hyperbolic time chamber to jump into? I'm already Super ChatGPT Plus God Mode.

I'm not going to write .Net, you can't make me do it. I'm not going to write Python, you can't make me do it.

Is your backend Node?!? Let's go baby, I'm a full stack dev.

Halo: Reach, Halo: ODST, Halo: CE, Halo 2 - the familiar pattern of carving my way through hordes of enemies is very comforting.

For a free piece of software it has no right being as good and as easy to use as it is.

I've had a Netflix subscription from before they even did streaming. I had the 4k plan, and even when I wasn't watching much on there anymore, my kids would use it often. The price hikes just would not stop. Then they started moving into video games, and I started seeing headlines reading "Netflix plans to open brick and mortar locations" - followed by more price hikes and ads being integrated. It started to feel like I was just funding their dumb business moves that I'm not ever going to benefit from.

So now I have a beautiful new NAS running Plex. Just accounting for the Netflix subscription price, I'll break even in 2 years, and I'm using it for a lot more than just a media server.
