Online advertisers can fuck off

Right. So, I’m a Mass Effect addict. I’ll be bored and decide to start a run through just to re-live the story again and then won’t resurface for a month and a half because I’ll slam through all three games multiple times. Hell, at this point I’ve seen every single choice carried through at least once and I know exactly which choices I’m going to make and what the end results will be.

BUT! Now ME: Andromeda is about to come out in like two days – and my computer can’t run it. I’m staring down the barrel of a $1,000 to $2,000 machine upgrade to be able to run this god damned game and I know I can’t justify that to my wife right now. There are days where I try to run it through in my head and it just goes nowhere – she’s not wrong that I can wait, and while money isn’t tight it certainly isn’t “thousand or two free” levels of expendable either.

I’ve resigned myself to that, mostly.

So, can we just stop with throwing the ads for the game in my face several times every day? I’ve meticulously avoided searching for anything related to ME:A and any time advertising pops up in like YouTube or something I mark it as not interested so that it will go away. AND STILL IT CHASES ME!! Walked into a computer store to get my parents a printer – on the monitors there. Check in to Facebook – sponsored post.


Fuck you, advertisers. Stop making this harder than it needs to be!
