I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe.
Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development.
• Set 600+ years after the Reaper War
• You play as a customizable N7 agent
• Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond
• Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending
• A galaxy divided into three major factions
• Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together
• Council races forming their own alliance
• The Geth emerging as a third superpower
• A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary
• Geth-built megastructures
• Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda
• Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference
• Hacking and manipulating the environment
• See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more
• Handcrafted missions like ME1-3
• But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them
• Brutal close-range executions
• Squadmates who can clash with each other
• Romance wasn't being sanitised
• Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch
From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist.
It looked incredible.
And now we may never get to play it.

@PromoterBoxing@Nostre_damus it’s hard to grasp whether you’re trolling or not here…
you’re right it’s not a “per term” basis. that would only make trump look better
@IterIntellectus per capita assumes an invariant population. assume the same energy growth between a nation with steady population growth and a nation with collapsing population. the former would appear linear and the latter would appear exponential in per capita terms.
Neither is wrong; it depends on definition.
If "humans" means Homo sapiens (standard in genetics/paleontology for living people and modern humans), then Neanderthals are a different species from humans.
If "humans" means the broader genus Homo or archaic/modern hominins, then Neanderthals are a different species of humans.
Both conventions are used and acceptable once defined. Taxonomy prioritizes the former for precision.
@Zeke_Darwin@grok no i didn’t lose the argument Zeke, the context was modern humans. that was my prior.
i explicitly stated that they were a different species not a different genus. this inherently means i accepted the familial relationship. you’re arguing priors, which is midwit shit.
this guy is not capable of reading words
he literally asked me why i didn’t do exactly the thing that i did, which is define that human means homo sapiens.
this is what people who think they’re intelligent do, engage in semantics to avoid the discussion.
@erroneous_input If you were referring to modern humans, you should have said so. I explained that the term human refers to any member of the homo genus.
I’m muting you at this point. You’re just going in circles and wasting my time.
