    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    I finished off exploring the Ismar Frontier nebula by finding an exciting new toy: The M-44 Hammerhead! Cant wait to take this thing on a real mission!

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Next I went off to do Zaeed's mission, turns out he was crazed with the desire for revenge. Unfortunately for him, his rash actions during the mission caused the bad guy to escape (since I was not about to take the renegade path and fail to rescue the innocents). Fortunately for me, though, I...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Finished up exploration of the Hourglass Nebula after I rescued Jack. There were two side missions there I did. First I saved some boxes of money from 3 giant mechs that were trying to destroy them. Being the perfectionist I am, I decided to look online for possible ways to save all the crates...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    For my next mission, I decided to visit a prison vessel to recruit a prisoner, who turned out to be a crazy lady named Jack. Things didn't go as expected because the warden was also a nut, but I was able to deal with him using my singularity gun.

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    After visiting the Citadel, I returned to the Omega nebula to do a short but interesting mission to recover some data on Cerberus activities. Not sure who to give the data to, I asked @Antimatter and was advised to keep it on the Normandy, so I did. After this, I went back to to the serpent...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Change of plans: Decided to head to the Citadel. Every store there is now my favorite store on the Citadel, heheh. Aside from all the shopping, familiar faces, lol moments, and minor quests, I had a meeting with the council and Anderson. The council is dumb, but the meeting went well enough I...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Well, I did a lot since the last update, but don't have many screenshots to show for it, unfortunately... In the heat of battle I usually forget to take them... Not really knowing what else to do at the time, I decided to explore the nebula a bit. Wound up harvesting all the planets it had for...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    After poking around my new Normandy a bit, I decided to go to a station called Omega. Immediately upon arrival some guy told me to go see someone named Aria. A few steps further and I met a merc named Zaeed kicking a batarian around. He joined my team immediately and I thought "well, that was...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    First order of business is to make my armor look cooler. Having done that I moved on to my first mission. I must say that playing on insanity is much harder in this game than the first one. I died a lot, but oddly enough I did not die against the final boss of the mission. By tapping into the...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    I wake up after two years of being dead apparently and what do I see? The same damn crates I have seen a million times before! Ugh! Seriously now: a lot of info flew by the screen really fast. I may need to go back a bit and do that first area again. I should also have experimented with...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    And now, as promised, some screenshots I took of my adventures on uncharted worlds. I took this to show some nice armor I just got for Wrex. The aftermath of fighting one of the new and improved thresher maws from the LE. It came up under my mako and left it almost destroyed. I won in the end...

    Black Swallowtails

    Well, most species have some kind of defense. These guys, as I said, have bad taste/poisonous body and that scent gland, and are camouflaged in their early stages. The bright colors on their body serve specifically as a warning about these defenses. A general rule of thumb in nature is that if...

    Black Swallowtails

    It is amazing how fast caterpillars can grow. They are now about 5cm long, and I expect they will pupate fairly soon. I have put a stick in their enclosure just in case they want to attach themselves to it, but there is no guarantee that they will use it as planned. I tried again to make them...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    Here is my Shepard, female obviously, with the squad she used for most of the game, Garrus and Wrex. Back when I played the classic version of the game I got into the habit of using the same two squadmates for the whole game so I could unlock their achievements. The character achievements are...

    Black Swallowtails

    One of my prime interests in life is animals and nature, so I was very happy when a Black Swallowtail butterfly visited one of my dill plants and laid eggs on it this year. After waiting for them to hatch I took the caterpillars off the plant to protect them and raise them to adulthood. I will...

    Inducing Substance: a Shepard's guide. (A playthrough of the Mass Effect series.)

    In this thread I will recount the tale of my playthrough of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. This will be a mostly new experience for me, as I have only ever played the classic version of Mass Effect 1. I have never played any version of ME2 or ME3. I have heard some things here and there...

    The Elder Scrolls Roleplay Playthrough Thread

    If fixing bugs is your main thing (like it is for me), then you probably don't need too many fixes. The main thing is the Unofficial Patch. This should fix the majority of bugs the game has. There are also several others that the creators of that patch recommend, which can be found in the first...

    Anybody here use a Switch Lite?

    I only have a standard switch, but I can tell you that I have 3 pairs of joy cons for it, and each of the pairs has a stick drift issue of some sort. They apparently break down really easily. They are also extremely expensive to replace, so I have been just trying to live with the issue on the...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous General Discussion, Playthroughs and Minimal/No Reload Thread

    Well, IIRC, the only thing I did that really worked was to have my cleric memorize a lot of Mass Heal spells. I also made sure said cleric stayed back from the fighting so they (hopefully) would not get disabled at the wrong time. I noticed that this fight seems to "cheat" in that protection...
