Since when is 45% “most” you dolt.

This a detail I haven’t seen many others pick up on. The guy hyped himself up on doing it, then went for it with gusto.

I fear you’re probably correct in how it will play out. Popular culture stuff has been in a vicious cycle of ping-ponging between reactionary extremes for a while now.

That said, I agree with you, it’s somewhere between 1 and 2, but I think 1 was carried by breaking the norm at the time, so the humor can’t have the same impact it did then due to it being expected now and other franchises jumping on similar humor since.

I’ve been thinking about this more recently after trying to get my partner into BL2 after she saw my friends and I playing through 3. She lasted about an hour and a half into BL2 before she wasn’t interested, and in all fairness? It was the same for myself and my friends who’d spent 500+ hours in it previously. Even scooter’s nonsense was failing to get any giggles out.

The concensus on 3 is largely on point, but somewhere along the line people decided Jack was a great villain and BL2 was incredible. I can’t say I agree, in spite of having a blast when it came out but I think it’s fair to credit that to playing with friends. It was just such a huge expansion from BL1s flat story and pushed further with abandoning the brown syndrome BL1 just barely sidestepped. Jack is currently being viewed with rose-tinted lenses, he was always annoying (just not as grating or recently experienced as the Twins) and the humor really does fall flat more than it doesn’t.

I’d say you’re right that it is a time capsule, and it’s not without its charms, as you said, but people are on the bandwagon puffing it up due to nostalgia, frustrations with BL3 (and the movie), and these articles talking about wanting to cut down on the toilet humor.

Edgy won’t do it, they need to figure out how to be cleverly dumb rather than in your face aggressively dumb which the Twins and Jack both did.

From the looks of things, 20 minutes into the future.

Nobody wants West or Stein except for Putin lol

Yea. I can’t actually recall the icons before the rebranding.

Yea, it’s abstracted but based on aperture blades of the shutter.

That’s not entirely true, everyone knows boebert is also a whore in the sexual manner too.

You are quite naive.

Not even talking about corporations, just everyone with a house to sell. Their expectations are going to remain the same plus 25k with this. It will be like that 25k never existed as it passes from government to seller making no impact on actual costs to the buyer.

It won’t help us outside of maybe the first week of implementation, and that’s being generous. By this time next week people will have gamed out a scheme to legally eat that money and expect all down payments to be n+25k.

People like to imagine others beneath them. It takes no effort at all on their part

This is also how reality TV works and why everyone involved is so amazingly awful.

This was also David Attenborough for the BBC. lol

Was thinking the triple redundancy must be for security purposes, but I don’t own stripey knee socks so obviously know nothing of IT.

I think I’d prefer leaving Titan’s hydrocarbons on Titan, considering Earth’s relationship with them so far.
