Looking forward to hearing what you choose! I might go sentinel between those twoβ€”the only real pain with my adept run was not having a power to use against shields. So sentinel with overload AND warp? Could be clutch!

Sure thing! I also took her flashbangs as Shepard’s secondary power after completing her loyalty mission. That way you can just alternate spamming Harbinger with them any time he shows up. Mop up his drones and then focus on him!

This and the hexagon fight midway through the Collector Ship are the two hardest fights in the entire freaking series, imo

Something I literally only figured out this last playthrough, for the Collector Shipβ€”bring Kasumi!! I didn’t know her flashbangs stun Harbinger, negating him. A lifesaver lol

I’ve also pretty much exclusively played adept! I don’t think I’ve ever played ME 2 or 3 with any other class, tbh.

On this most recent playthrough, I was telling myself, β€œmaybe I should try playing this series with something other than the wizard,” but the warp combo is just too good πŸ˜‚

Oooh yeah, that entire battle on Horizon is brutal. For me it’s the part I think directly preceding the Praetorian, where you have to survive against the two Scions?? That part aaaalways takes me a bunch of tries

Just last month finished replaying Insanity runs of all three games in the Legendary Edition. Still one of my favorite game series of all time, and I think the Insanity runs are hard but very fair!

What’s your primary class?

I think I love it so much because the obvious, immediate callback in terms of both gameplay and story is 2007’s Lost Odyssey, which is one of my all-time favorite Xbox JRPGs. Clair Obscur echoes the synergistic combat from that game beautifully.

A little late to the party, but Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is on track to be my favorite game that I’ve played this year. I love this kind of active turn-based combat, alongside a deep and poignant story.

Following up on this, if someone is watching this game strictly for the halftime show but becomes genuinely interested in football because of this fantastic defensive struggle, they’re a real one and I salute them

Oh my god, I’m so sorry!!

I’m really glad the Super Bowl brings in popular artists, because similar to the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce thing from a few years back, my hope is that folks show up for the music or some off-the-field thing but end up watching the game and are like β€œyes I love X artist but also this sport rules”

At least the Seahawks are led by a USC quarterback, which does help

08.02.2026 23:32 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

A Seahawks-Patriots Super Bowl is literally the same as a Dodgers-Yankees World Series in that I want both teams to lose. But since that can’t happen, I’d rather the team with less historic success wins, even if that means rooting for the Niners’ arch rivals

Love to hear thisβ€”friends of mine whoβ€˜ve seen it have said it’s GORGEOUS. On the immediate to-be-watched list.

I’ve been genuinely surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed 76 since picking it up again. I played it for sixish months just after launch and it felt so empty, but the DLCs have helped the world feel so much more like a proper Fallout game! And I think the team-focused activities are actually pretty fun.

I never got into the settlement building in Fallout 4, but I’ve been playing Fallout 76 recently for the first time in like half a decade and it’s really grown on me (both the game and the settlement stuff). I haven’t had plans to revisit 4 but maybe I should.

So much is bad about America but it’s nice when your favorite teams win and beat annoying teams in the process!

I've decided my favorite dynamic of the college football season is that Indiana's quarterback is the most relentlessly positive man alive and Indiana's head coach has never smiled in his life

Lmao, Indiana

This Indiana team looks as dominant as any of the Alabama teams that won the natty over the last decade and I feel gears grinding in my head whenever I think that

A safety on the final play of a Georgia loss is such a beautiful gift

Will both Alabama AND Georgia lose playoff games on the same day? Is it Christmas all over again?

We haven't seen an Indiana squad turn back an Alabama offense this decisively since Antietam

I didn’t realize exactly how pleasurable it’d be to watch Indiana absolutely bludgeon Alabama, but it’s fantastic
