When I suggested to Adrian that we should once again turn our shared suffering into Capital-C Content and talk about Mass Effect: Andromeda, we had the normal boring calendar convos that come with any adult trying to interface with another adult in Late Stage Capitalism. We scheduled a record time like normal. Didn’t expect it to go for almost five hours. Boy, were our faces tired after we were done. 

(Get it? Like the meme?)

This line bothers me, rough facial animations aside because this is not a thing. It’s not a colloquialism. It’s a weird line that I don’t understand. In a dialogue-heavy video game like this, where tens of thousands of lines, not every line is a winner for sure, but I just keep thinking about it. Is it supposed to be exhausted rambling? A bad joke, referencing something Ryder says earlier in the conversation? A metaphor for masking or maybe professionalism? Does it matter what I think? Maybe it’s a good line and <my> brainface is tired. 

….Maybe now the five hour record time makes a bit more sense. There’s just a lot here to unpack. So. Enjoy the first part of our face-tiring journey.
