Its fake , bioware tweeted it , also it was on 4chan ..........

Of course they denied it was real. You really think they are going to admit that one of their ex employees leaked their future plans for dlc and games?

Now I'm not saying it's real but it's surprising people would actually just take the word of bioware as true.

If it wasn't fake I think their reply would be "No comment" rather than "Fake" given the situation they are in.

I must say, the ending did not make much sense to me.

The catalyst says he does it to stop Synthetics destroying Organics or something along those lines. So to stop the synthetics destroying organics, he gets Synthetics to destroy organics. He is in essence, the cause of his own problem? I honestly thought that was some sort of writing error at first, it just did not make any sense to me. Add to that, it's a ridiculously stupid excuse that doesn't actually explain much anyway, other than the catalyst just saying what basically amounts too "because". Well that's a great explanation .__.

Does anyone know how to

keep Tali alive?  I am on my 2nd play thru and she keeps dying by committing suicide.   first play thru she lived.  I know Mordin just dies as well as thane and there are no options (I am pretty sure) to keep them alive.  But I know Tali can be saved.

Stop legion from uploading. The only other option is to play straight paragon and save both of them. That or it has something to do with saving both commanders.

If you made the right decisions in me2 and me3, and have a high enough reputation you can have legion upload the data, and stop the quarians from attacking creating peace.

If not you need to have him stop the upload for tali to survive. If you do this legion dies instead.

Stop the uploading code.

Or

Not exactly. I figured it out. Yyou must have killed the heretics in ME2, prevented Tali from dying or becoming exiled in ME2, and a few decisions in ME3. Also, as I found out, the last mission you do on rannoch is Destroy the Reaper Base. If this is not the LAST mission you do on rannoch, then Tali will die. I made the mistake of doing the mission Destroy Geth Server last.

So Tali is alive, Quarian fleet saved, Legion dies regardless, and both Quarians and Geth working together. Geth invite the Quarians back to rannoch so now the Quarians are settling back on their home planet. Tali joins your squad. She is located in the engine room.

Anyway, Legion always dies as well as Thane. Also, either Mordin or Rex will die but you choose which. Mordin will die if you reveal the sabotage and Rex will end if getting ****ed if Shepard lies to him and Shepard has to put him down.

Read what I said in my post before this one.. My results were different since I did things correctly in ME2 and ME3.

Legion will die no matter what. Thane also dies because of main story line association. I believe Wrex can live, in both my playthroughs, he lived and Mordin died

Yup, depends what decision you make during the last mission to cure the Krogan on who dies...Mordin or Wrex

. Never liked Mordin...he was annoying.

It's not explained very well.

They don't destroy all the organics, they harvest the ones that have advanced enough to create AI/Synthetics and turn them into Reapers to "ascend" them to stop them advancing so far so they don't create synthetics that have the potential to become more than the creator which the reapers/catalyst prophecises will wipe out organics if left unchecked.

They leave the non-advanced civilizations alone, as the catalyst explained that they left the humans alone in the cycle before because they weren't advanced enough as to pose a threat to the universe.

Thus they are on a never ending cycle of every 50,000 years coming back and harvesting the civilizations that are too advanced, only this time they didn't factor in the human element, no other cycle has completed the crucible or met the catalyst.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
