Evercold will introduce a seasonal system bringing major changes to how rewards are earned and how players progress their character's item levels! ✨ Stay tuned for news arriving during the Keynote during Fan Festival 2026 in Tokyo this weekend!

There's no good reason to spend taxpayer dollars to track down people like this—who've lived here peacefully for decades, worked hard, started families—so we can send them to countries where they have no ties. It's cruelty for the sake of it, and it's not making us better off.

According to Polygon’s estimates, it would take $5 million to maintain a 50-person studio for two years leading up to the release of ME Universe. If everyone who signed the petition so far pays $80 for the game, @EA will receive $18,680,880. Come on, @EA, this is just a 5-day petition—sales will be even higher – #SaveMassEffect

Scientists have identified the specific male dance movements that women find most attractive Researchers from Northumbria University mapped out the exact body mechanics that signal health, vigor, and reproductive quality to female observers.

Oh man if only someone controlled all three branches of government and could pass commonsense immigration reform The extent of 1) running everything and 2) pretending to be helpless resentful underdogs is just... it's not a good luck

Asmongold thinks everybody should be calling out QTCinderella mass striking channels, says she’s entering nuclear territory "On the internet..there's one commandment..thou shall not use copyright take downs for anything other than the most blatant of offenses..taking 1 or 2 minutes of somebody's stream..that's not reasonable..what she's really trying to do is shutdown anybody criticizing her, talking about her" "The moment you start using DMCAs to punish people..really really bad precedent..everybody should be actively calling out anybody who weaponizes DMCAs..for anything other than the most blatant of copyright offenses..but these are one minute clips..when you have people that try to weaponize the legal system to have accounts taken down, you enter into what I would consider nuclear territory..now you have an entire world where people are weaponizing..that is destructive to the entire ecosystem" "I think she should retract these..everybody should call it out..I think ppl should repost all of the clips..if she's going to do this, she will learn that the internet is not going to be silenced into not talking about some inconvenient or embarrassing clip"

Are we ready to have the conversation that corporate greed, publisher interference, and studio mismanagement is what killed Bioware. Not queer people, not women, not wokeness, or DEI hires, but instead Corpo greed, and declarations that all games must have a live service, because EA wanted every game to be a virtual money printer like FIFA/Madden Ultimate Team was.

600 years ago the Americas were in the Stone Age, Istanbul was still Constantinople, Spain still had Muslim kingdoms established there, the Poles were becoming one of the major European powers, Russia was under Mongol control. 600 years is enough for the board to look completely different, and that's even without modern social and technological development accelerating civilisational leaps. Utterly ridiculous for people to even suggest that a near apocalyptic event with the destruction of the Mass Relays wouldn't change the chessboard from what the player character knew in Mass Effect. I mean, just to put it into context. Within the original trilogy, humans go from discovering the Mass Relays, going to war against the Turians and taking over the Council in 26 years. (I do honestly think that's a ridiculously compressed timeline, I'd make it 50 years if I were writing it).

Romain Toutain revealed more about Mass Effect 5/Universe (this one really stings): ✨"The Shepard" was customizable and could do same moves in real combat as trailer ✨Everything in game was "stateful" ✨All choices from 1-3 taken into account ✨Called Universe so you could plug your saves together to create parallel universes (simplified explanation) but you could almost generate timelines similar to Zero Time ✨You could make decisions that might contradict things you've already done and so it would create plot "points" in the timeline ✨Missions didn't fail because you killed someone, paths would remain open (it worked well) ✨Absolute autonomy was the cornerstone of the game ✨No two players would experience the same thing, would have "experienced the same story but differently" ✨"EA never sells anything. they just shut things down and sit on their licenses" ✨Barman was a new race ✨Lore was incredible around new mass relays ✨"Billy" the hand thing might have generated tentacles ✨Was an idea for sharing your saves ✨He says it was fucking amazing it was an absolute banger and we would have loved it. The people at BioWare were brilliant FUCK Source - bsky.app/profile/loustica-lu…

More Mass Effect Universe detail. First, I'm fine with a flooded inbox of threats. Par for the course. Fine with being called a liar. Fine with being informed that I apparently wrote a woke Snow White novel (news to me)... What I'm not fine with is the insinuation that, after 600+ years, Batarians and Humans couldn't possibly find themselves in some kind of tumultuous alliance of circumstance. The Batarians were almost wiped out. Of the surviving major powers, humanity was their closest neighbour by proximity, and humanity had the Citadel parked above Earth. America dropped atomic bombs on Japan 81 years ago. Today, they're allies.. Humans and Batarians don't have to like each other. In fact, it's far more interesting if they don't. Imagine the banter, resentment and distrust that could come from an alliance built out of necessity rather than friendship. It's an alliance of scrappy, dirty survivors standing against the high-and-mighty Council races and the Geth. And, well... there's something shadowy going on behind the scenes causing the cold war. Calling Shepard a 'walking gun rack' wasn't intended as a negative. Shepard is a soldier. Built to kick down the door, take on armies, and get the job done. This new N7 agent is different. They need to be more precise. More surgical. Less 'kick down the front door' and more 'find another way inside.' I also want to reiterate that this was not a trailer intended for the public, it was one of many made for internal use. Meaning it was not as polished as it would have been, it would have used original music, and had some gameplay. Mass Effect Universe was being 'built for the fans' in that they were trying very hard to not make the same mistakes and focus on what we loved from the originals. I don't know if they would have been successful, but I do know that I was hopeful.

Notice someone getting upset when you expose people who might have blackmail on them. Who else has sex tapes that might be used to control them? I’m sure @benshapiro wouldn’t want them exposed either. That would take away an important tool for his friends.

If there's one thing the closure of @bioware has taught me, it's that the majority of racists are straight, white males from low income brackets with low educations who are pissed off because they couldn't win a race that was literally rigged in their favor from being born straight, white males. And if they don't have somebody to blame, eventually they'd have to admit that the person responsible for most of their problems stares back at them in the mirror every morning. But they'll spend more time obsessing over immigrants, blacks, gays, and DEI "agendas" than they ever have trying to improve their own lives. An immigrant didn't blow your paycheck at the bar. A gay couple didn't get your truck repoed. A trans kid didn't make you drop out of high school, lose your job, and get divorced. A black family didn't keep you from learning a trade, showing up to work, or acting like a decent human being. YOU did that. All by yourself. So when you're standing there screaming that everybody else is getting special treatment, maybe ask yourself why you're getting lapped by people who had to climb over fences that you never even saw. Racism isn't strength. It's what insecure people wrap themselves in when they don't have accomplishments to brag about. Homophobia isn't toughness. It's fear wearing work boots. And all that DEI whining is just you saying "I'm too scared to compete" when everyone else finally gets their fair shot. The hard truth is that if your identity depends upon somebody else staying beneath you, you never stood very tall in the first place. Quit blaming minorities for your misery. Quit blaming LGBTQ+ folks because your life's a train wreck. Quit looking for scapegoats and just grab a mirror. Because that reflection has cost you more opportunities than every immigrant, every pride parade, every DEI program, and every person of color combined.

#Bioware #MassEffect So I was told this morning that the new Mass Effect game was 80% COMPLETED! The release date was going to be 2027, N7 Day. 🥲 I was also told that for the first 4 years of development, EA was trying to force them to do a 5-hour Fortnite style game with--

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. Find out more here: youtu.be/ZOWrTNazZxM #SaveMassEffect
