This article really does get at my feelings about veilguard as a diehard origins fan.

Not to say that it will be bad, it might still be good or possibly even great. I love mass effect and god of war (2018) was decent.

It's just a little sad. 15-20 years ago bioware would have been on the cutting edge. Now they feel a few years behind. I just can't help but think that they, perhaps, turned their crpg-adjacent series (with origins being close to one, 2 being much farther away, and inquisition being somewhere in the middle) into an action game from 2018 because of the common industry "wisdom" that non-action RPGs won't sell. Then a crpg was *the* standout title in 2023 and it turns out that maybe bioware could have actually produced some good (and successful) games over the last 10 years if they kept making the types of games they used to specialize in before being bought out by EA.

SEPTA is facing a funding cliff that could increase fares and decrease service, including discontinuing the Chestnut Hill West line. Ridership has not recovered from the height of the pandemic and COVID emergency funds are running out. The current state budget proposed by the governor would avert the worst of it but it needs to pass the legislature.

If you live in PA or in the greater Philadelphia metro, please contact your federal, state, and local reps to tell them to increase funding.

I think I managed to successfully migrate here. Goodbye to all drafts left on the old account that I was probably never going to post.
