#and forgot I can't just run and gun in me2

[heat-sink]

I forgot how much I fuckin hate the game mechanics in me2

and the limiting of what guns each class can use.... man they made some stupid ass decisions

[ageless-aislynn]

Mass Effect 2, Mission: Get Shepard some fish, completed! (Don't worry, I check on them after every mission. I hope being friendly with Kelly is enough for her to take care of them for me at times when I can't! 🤞😣🤞 And I think I can get more/other types of fish? Not sure, but even if not, I'm happy with these! 🐟🐠🤗)

I love Kelly, I think it's awesome that Shep has somebody helping him with the administration part of command. Plus, she's a cutie-pie!

Mass Effect 2, Mission: Get Shepard a squad, in progress!

So far, I've only run into one serious issue with lack of ammo, during the Archangel mission. My pistol ran out and there wasn't a single thermal clip to be found no matter how far back I ran. 😐 So I have to try to take the enemy on with a dang shotgun, machine gun and grenade launcher, which are all good weapons in certain situations but not at a distance. My powers are Shockwave, which never seems to actually do much good, and Charge, which I do enjoy using but in this case I was just charging into a pack of Krogans and trying to punch my way out. I died. A lot.

And then respawned. Without any ammo. Again. And again. Annnnnd again. 😑

Keep in mind that I'm on Little Baby Lamb Casual difficulty, so I have no idea how anybody gets through this on anything harder, much less on Insanity. Ugh, ammo management suuuuuuucks.

I did buy a Geth shotgun that seems to recharge and has a much longer range - I KFC'd a few enemy Krogan at a distance and that made me feel better, lol!

Anyway! I also gave Garrus some stylin' TRON lights on his armor, just 'cause he's my Best Turian Bro and he deserves to look supa-cool!

Seriously, though, I love how much Garrus believes in Shepard. I think it's pretty darn awesome that you know he loves you, whether it's like a brother to male!Shep or as a love interest to fem!Shep (or as a bro to fem!Shep if she's romancing somebody else). Garrus straight up doesn't care: he doesn't have to be your love interest to have your back and to care about you and I just love him so much for that!

I love going around and talking to my squadmates after each mission, though I find that I'm honestly really missing Kaidan and Liara. At least we'll be seeing Tali again!

I just recruited Grunt (and forgot to get a pic of the squadmates line-up with him in it, oops) and... I was honestly surprised. I realized I'd never actually heard him speak in any clips from ME2 or 3 that I'd ever seen and he's got this smooooooooth mother-fudgesicle™️😜 type voice, my word!

This clip is from ME3 but it makes the point, lol! I seriously love him so much already but that's no surprise since I've adored Wrex in this series and Drack from Andromeda.

Anyway, I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite playthrough on Little Baby Lamb difficulty with a player who has serious Skill Issues on the Citadel. 😜

Love you, friends, hope you're doing great! 🤗💖

Mass Effect Chats ft. Me and My Bro

(For context we both forgot Thane (the Drell aka Grasshopper Man)'s name) Bro: THANE!! That's his name.

Me: YES!

Me:...

Me: Thane-ks for reminding me.

Bro: *deep sigh*

Bro:...

Bro: I should've Thane that comin.

Me: EYYY

Upon finding a powered down Big Boi Mech: *GASP* HIS NAME IS CARL.

Bro, referring to Carl as he helps us in our quest: He walks like a boss.

Me: or a 2 y/o having a tamtrum

Bro: or like a 2 y/o who just took a dump

Me: okay, take it from someone who works with 2 year olds, they are disturbingly good at hiding when they've taken a dump the size of Ireland.

Carl, exploding bc they're a faulty mech and thats why they were abandoned: BZZZTTT

Me: CAAARRRLLL NOOOO!!!!

RIP Carl, 2010-Whenever you reach that side mission.

Me, as Shepard activates a hologram device thing: Oh boi we are in the matrix.

Me: Either that or a honeycomb.

Bro: Imma sneeze. *sneezes*

Me: RIP your sinuses btw.

Miranda(slightly stiff, Aussie, GMO girl, with an attitude and also a gun so dont make her mad bc she will shoot you) during a random side mission: It's an ambush!

Bro, as the distant cries of angry creatures echo through the valley: well duh.

Me: is that a deer?

Me: oh it's a dead varren nevermind.

After my brother and I spent 10 minutes laughing @ didney worl memes we try to have a serious conversation with Mordin: oh I'm so sorry about... Your assistant... Buddy... *snort* IM SORRY OKAY!

Me:...

Me, softly: didney worl...

Me, speaking about Miranda being seemingly unable to stand in a way that isnt a model pose: does she not ever pose like a normal person--oh nice shot of her butt, camera crew, we needed that.

Bro: Garrus... Doesnt want to talk to me... Garrus I'm sorry... :((

Me, sniffling: Don't cry, then Garrus will cry too :(((

Jack: *says the f-word twice in one conversation*

Me in a Vine voice: watch your profanity.

Me: Tali and Liara are best girl. You can't change my mind.

*door closes behind us a/o prompting*

Me: the door closed bc it knew I was right and was trying to prove my point.like a mic drop but less impressive.

Stuffy jerk politician dude to Grunt: You mention great warlords... But you were bred by a syringe.

Me:...

Me: Boi you better catch these hands.

Shepard: There's a krogan on my team, he has some sort of sickness, is there anything you can do for him?

Wrex: he is not sick, he is growing into a full blood krogan.

Me: oh dang I forgot I was right about puberty...

Grunt after being offered a position by stuffy politician guy after successfully wiping the floor with the rite of passage: You disrespect my father, Shepard, and my name and only now you respect me for my power?!

Shepard:

Bro: *gasp* what does a bebby krogan look like??

Me:...probably wrinkly.

Wrex, wearing his upgraded armor: I. AM. KROGAN.

Me, knowing full well his suit looks like Iron man armor: And you're doing amazing sweetie.

Me: we [humans] got comlimented by the Nerd Scientist and I've never been more proud.

Shepard's random fight dialogue after Angry Krogan Leader finiahes ranting: We've been spotted.

Bro, calmly running for cover: Yes. Yes we have.

Grunt: Nothing can hurt me.

Me: I feel like that's not true. You've yet to experience emotional pain.

Mordin, best nerdy boi, a Salarian and therefore in his last Decade of his 40 year lifespan: Went to Omega, opened clinic. Wanted to heal. Help people. Good use of last decade.

Me, crying: I'm so sorry for quizzing you with mean paragon questions I love you so much baby I'm sorry...

Shepard, literally every time she picks up an upgrade: I ' L L T A K E I T

Me: sToP YElLiNg.

Me, actively weeping @ Joker(best human side character ever seriously, talk to him every time you get a chance he's amazing) and Edi's(ship AI with a propensity to egg Joker on bc she thinks its funny and is also adorable fite me) budding friendship throuhout ME2: F R I E N D S H I P *crying intensifies* (I havent played the 3rd game yet dont tell me if theyre an item: there arent enough wholesome friendships in media okay?)

Shepard, stopping Mordin from murdering a disgusting rat who mutilated people in effort to do something stupid and morally complicated: murder is wrong.

Mordin: hm. You right. (Indirect quote)

Me & Bro @ the Scottish and New York engineers: 10/10 amazing side characters. More of them please.
