If you're just joining us this morning... we're playing "guess which song Josiah has stuck in his head" that he can't remember any of the lyrics too other than "doo doodoo"
hints-
it may have been a dance song from the last 10-20 years ago.
it's something a canadian would listen to
the words doodoo are a synthesized chromatic fall
the chromatic scale for everyone who didn't take music
I still haven't done a Genocide run of Undertale. I just don't think I got the heart to go psychopath on those lovable characters lol. Especially when so many of them are dogs.
Pretend that they post on Random P&R and they say that <insert preferred candidate> kills little children for a living and/or <insert the one thing that angers you the most...I don't know, kicking kittens?>

Sometimes I'll start various games with morality systems thinking "I'm going to be the bad guy this time". Then by like 20% in I'm all "*** that, I'm gonna go save the kittens from trees"

Mass effect overall I think did it fairly well just because if you go strictly paragon you can still lock yourself out of some "ideal" outcomes. IE
When the captain tells you to save his crew instead of him in 3 but he's one of the key parts in making peace with the geth.
It gave an actual reason to think about your choices and how what might at first seem like a good decision might play out badly. Which freed me from looking at it as just good/evil, which I liked a lot better than
A)Save the child's kittens
B)Ignore the kittens
C)Eat the kittens in frount of the child
Man, every time I think about Paragon and Renegade, I think of the situation in Mass Effect 1 on that asteroid that those Batarians were gonna kill a whole human colony with(like 40 million people or something).
"Alright, if you move, I'll detonate that room of 3 or 4 scientists. You'll get me, but their lives will weigh on your conscience."
So like you don't move, he walks free, and you save 4 lives. The first time I did it, I wasn't sure if that meant that the Asteroid was gonna impact the planet or not, so pretty much without hesitation I killed the guy to save 39,999,996 lives. Game was like, "RENEGADE +25!" And I was like, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"
Turned out in the Paragon choice, you save the scientists, and the Batarian leader gets away, and you stop the Asteroid or whatever. Like magic or some ***. I was kinda miffed.

Was this in the DLC? I don't remember it, but I've only played the ME1 DLC like...once. I didn't own the DLC until ME3 came out. The version of the game I had before that didn't have it.
There was the Arrival DLC in ME2 that had similar elements, but that's a bit different. I do vaguely remember a Batarian being a ***, but that's not a unique situation, I don't remember having to let one get away to save people.
I'm pretty sure destroying the geth station in 2 was instead of reprogramming them, and reprogramming is a point against being able to make peace
Pretty sure in 3 all of the options that were either paragon or renegade flagged lead to the same outcomes and were just flavour. The left/right mouse click parts could have different outcomes though.

The astroid thing was ME1s dlc yeah, then the guy popped back up in 3 and you could kill him or convince him to join you... I missed the dlc in 1 but it apparently was still flagged as complete so when he popped up talking like he knew me I was like "who you?"

Ah. I just do whatever the *** I want and like 98% of it is Paragon.

What I dislike is that you have to get morality points to unlock more hardcore Renegade/Paragon actions.
Don't these people understand the desire to be chaotic neutral?
Yes I'm going to save the kittens, but I'm also going to burn the person who was trying to kill the kittens alive and probably enjoy it a little, even.
It was funny, my first playthrough of 3, one of my roomies had been watching me playthrough from 1 to 3. He'd seen me be pretty much flawless Paragon, and he was like, "Well, I wonder if you'll be flawless in this next part."
I didn't even hesitate on the trigger pull. Like that ***excited me. I was like, "OH HELL YEAH!" He was a bit taken aback lol.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
