>Kumail Nanjiani revealed during an appearance on the “Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum” podcast that the negative reviews for “Eternals” took a toll on his mental health.
>“The reviews were bad, and I was too aware of it,” said Nanjiani, who played Kingo in the 2021 Marvel film. “I was reading every review and checking too much.”
>“It was really, really hard because Marvel thought that movie was going to be really, really well reviewed, so they lifted the embargo early and put it in some fancy movie festivals and they sent us on a big global tour to promote the movie right as the embargo lifted,” Nanjiani continued.
>“Emily says that I do have trauma from it,” he continued. “We actually just got dinner with somebody else from that movie and we were like, ‘That was tough, wasn't it?' and he's like ‘Yeah, that was really tough,' and I think we all went through something similar.”

I got a 15% raise once because I used to play League of Legends with one the HR whores in the FAANG gaming groomercord.
I like to imagine I did at least. 15% is a pretty big jump considering I got no increase in responsibilities.

They should have just embraced the Indoctrination theory. It seemed like it was already set up and written into the game but just not used for whatever reason.
The game even tries too trick you off by flipping the typical morality color scheme. Destroy was in red (renegade) but Anderson's (a paragon) choice. Control was in blue (paragon) and represents the Illusive Mans (renegade) choice. Even in the end the only one where there is a possibility of survival is destroy aka red

Do it. It's a trauma, a loss. But you have to confront it. It will take years but you eventually will come to terms with it.
(Not even joking, it did take several years for me to get over the best scifi setting since Star Trek getting ruined by a couple morons for nothing. But eventually you kind of get over it.)

Tonight isn't a great night to go into detail, but ME1 was carefully crafted (especially if you go into the codex entries) to tell all kinds of stories.
TOS could be a western, a courtroom drama, actual scifi, war movie, whimsical romance. ME1 was made to be a foundation for that.
Big games where Shepard does big stuff. Smaller stories in a living breathing galaxy.

Mass effect was based

proper naming conventions they had for everything. “Sovereign,” “harbinger,” “collectors,” “citadel,” “catalyst.” Couldn't they come up with some dumb terminology instead of common English

It was very in depth as far as the lore went too it explains all the tech in a realistic way (well realistic as long as you accept a magical mass-altering compound) and had a codex section that collection important information and a cool sounding narrator.
The later games went a little less realistic but the first one has heavy hard sci-fi vibes unlike Star Wars or Star Trek and had a pretty unique atmosphere and at that time was super original since the only thing comparable was KOTOR which was set in an already established sci-fi fantasy setting.
