  • I thoroughly enjoyed Fallout, so I’ll be cautiosly optimistic until further details emerge.

    The article brings up challenges with adapting customizable PCs to a fixed story, but I think the easiest solution is to just copy Fallout on this one. Don’t try to adapt the flexible story og the games with a percieved ‘default’ Shep, but tell a separate story within the universe.

    I could see the conflict when humanity discovers FTL and eventually has a war with the Turians as a potentially fitting storyline. Has enough lore to give writers a starting point, doesn’t touch any player decisions or customizable characters, and gives people not familiar with ME a nice entry to “discover the ME universe” alongside humanity











  • Imo top quoting, where the reply is added to the bottom of for example an email, is far superior to bottom quoting, where the reply is on top.

    With top quoting you can read the entire thread/discourse in order by reading the latest email top to bottom, instead of scrolling up and down.

    However, since most people and email clients default to bottom quoting, I’ll have to stick to that. The only thing worse than bottom quoting is inconsistent quoting.









  • The swedish button

    Here in Norway we like to make fun of Swedes as a stupid people. The swedish button originated (at least the first context I knew of) as yanking the power cable from the socket as a way of turning off an applianve such as a Tv or computer, inatead of the intended way

    One can also call other extreme/destructive ways of turning something off as the swedish button, such as hitting a tv with a hammer.
