While online communities can be rife with silly arguments about what does or does not "count" as Mass Effect, modders have done something far more impressive. Helping to cohere a grander Mass Effect setting that embraces it all.
My largest issue with MEA was a sense of disconnection. This helps. 😊

One aspect about playing a *heavily* modified Mass Effect 3 LE is the ability to integrate Andromeda into the events of the trilogy.
Various mods add armor, clothing, references to the Initiative, even quests tied to the Quantum Entanglers! And Liara's Message! 💙

I just had a rather lengthy thread on non-film based video and board game adaptations of The Lord of the Rings vanish into the ether while writing it here in BlueSky.
Sure, I *could* have used “drafts” but I shouldn’t need to.

The Council of Elrond: very clearly should not work as a piece of writing yet does.
![239 (I: 252). the Council of Elrond - In J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century Tom Shippey comments that the present chapter
is a largely unappreciated tour de force, whose success may be gauged by the fact that few pause to recognize its complexity. It breaks, further-more, most of the rules which might be given to an apprentice writer.
For one thing, though it is fifteen thousand words long, in it nothing happens: it consists entirely of people talking. For another, it has an unusual number of speakers present (twelve), the majority of them (seven) unknown to the reader and appearing for the first time. Just to make things more difficult, the longest speech, by Gandalf, which takes up half the total, contains direct quotation from seven more speakers, or writers, all of them apart from Butterbur and Gaffer Gamgee new to the story, and some of them (Saruman, Denethor) to be extremely important to it later on. Other speakers, like Glóin, give quotations from yet more speakers, Dáin and Sauron's messenger. Like so many committee meetings, this chapter could very easily have disintegrated, Lost its way, or simply become too boring to follow. The fact that it does not is brought about by two things, Tolkien's extremely firm grasp of the history ... of Middle-earth; and his unusual ability to suggest cultural variation by differences in mode of speech. [pp. 68-9; see also more generally, pp. 68-82]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i5j6whdy7nvbsczayf5w4mgs/bafkreiftt5pjdr42gghnvsvjlmzqo54zsyn6lrjj45xdyswb3of6keok6y@jpeg)

The art for this chapter post is "Frodo and Gandalf" by the inimitable Alan Lee, whose work has helped to define Tolkien and Middle Earth in the public imagination. This is a quieter, more character-focused piece.

What an amazing print and autograph! ❤️
And Ali Hillis drew the most adorable little bow and arrow on the bottom right. Look! 😊
She’s one of my favorite voice actors in games, and by all accounts is a deeply positive presence in the field.

Minrathous!
I like to imagine Esha Laidir has ties to various Tevinter port cities, and these tug at her. But more- she has an ingrained hate/fear of the Venatori.
(Insert also a long term scheme to weaken Treviso and thus boost the prospects of the Montilyet’s in Antiva City. 😈)

I swear, taking the occasional Virtual Photography (such as below) but not properly playing the games in a year has done wonders for reinvigorating me about Thedas. Time away helps!
Next year, I *have* to do another full series run. But hey! I’ve made a real dent in my backlog as a result. 😊

I admit I have zero interest in Highguard given I simply don’t engage in multiplayer anymore. I cannot speak to the game or its qualities in any serious manner.
But the sheer glee at which gaming communities celebrate its unfortunate situation (especially for the devs) is rather gross.

Happy Avowed Anniversary Update/ PS5 release day! 😊
I’m late to the party, as I want to play through Deadfire first, but I’m still very excited! (I played enough of Avowed to know I’ll enjoy it when I properly start.)
Can’t wait to explore Eora! Again!
