Finally after 12 years, there's no more annual expansion that's actually functionally a subscription fee, no more risk of losing content, no more re-chasing the same loot every time they update a system and render last season's meta irrelevant.

The last couple year's worth of content will eventually go on sale, and when it does, that'll be that. A complete game. A full experience. Sure, it all still will depend on how long they care to keep the servers on so it isn't the dream scenario of actually owning digital content, but at this point I'm willing to settle for finished content, even if I hate the way they took the story, even if I'm not a fan of the way they handled endgame mechanics.

Happy Pride Month to Ryland Grace wherever you are on the rainbow, babygirl.

Bravery Gene

Grace was put into coma by the people who cared about him. They (especially Yáo being Yáo) probably double-triple-quadruple checked everything. They watched him sleep for those first few days — I doubt they went into coma immediately after leaving Earth's orbit. They probably talked to him, assuring him that he'll be okay.

Ilyukhina's coma procedure was probably supervised by Yáo. He made sure that everything was in order, but — he is just one man and he is not a doctor. There was much more room for mistakes.

When Yáo went to sleep, he was alone. He had to rely on the technology completely.
