Friendly note that both your uses of “than” should be “then”. “Then” indicates the sequence of events, as in I went to the coffee shop and then the mall. “Than” is used for comparison, as in apples are better than oranges.

I’m sure they’d be happy to let me stay longer as long as I’m rotting in a prison while providing slave labour

As far as I can tell, no. No one ever seems to care. I can only assume it’s because they view men as the “dominant” sex and women as “weak”.

If I was paying $1300 for a motherboard, I definitely would not be getting the Intel version this generation.

every accusation etc etc. getting tired of this BS every week

Which is why it’s such a hurdle for those that get attached. They don’t want to go through that again with no notice.

You don’t have to pick a server. You don’t have to pick a software (i.e Mastodon, Misskey, Chrrypick, etc). All likes and comments are actually shown when you view posts. When you search for something it actually comes up with results. It offers algorithms which believe it or not is a feature people want.

I could swear my local EB never changed, but maybe I just auto corrected the sign in my brain lol.

Voted left, will happily lynch any nazi I see. Thank you for making up an entire story about me in your head. Maybe I just don’t find it productive to attack anyone that displays anything slightly outside of your world view as if they’re the devil. It doesn’t have to be binary, take it down from 100 fuckin percent dude.

I doubt there would be much difference. I was started on an old brick-style Mac before switching to PC and am now the most technical person in almost any group I enter. It’s not as if Mac devices are entirely void of programmers and other technical users.

Unconstructive.

Can you remind me what fascist means? Because I’m starting to forget with how many times I read it used in a meaningless manner.

I’ve been rocking some pixel art by Postmodern Ouroboros for a couple of years now. It fits the clock and icon locations so well I haven’t felt like changing it.

Those light trails came out clean, nice shot.

y’all keep saying this but playing 1 round of Valorant will make you realise pretty quick how easily people drop $80+ on a game.

I think 2 can also be used as an argument for why they should switch it up. After all, we switch playable characters each game to keep things fresh, so why not do the same with guns? A new planet should bring some new gun modifiers, and they could still bring back some of the old manufacturers as rare loot or legendaries to get even more variety. After 13 years and 4 entries, I’m just a little tired of reloading Tediore’s and throwing away all Hyperion and Torgue guns I pick up (exaggerating!).

I somewhat agree with you on movement: it doesn’t have to be for combat or necessary. But you have to adjust the enemies to account for the extra player tools lest you make melee or slow projectiles trivial. That and I believe that the best games implement features that solve something, even if the devs create the problem the feature solves. Take Doom Eternal for example: I wouldn’t have used half the tools in that game if they hadn’t provided challenges that were best overcome by using them. On medium-high difficulties you end up using everything at hand to get through the levels because otherwise you die, and that’s fulfilling! If I had the same tools at hand but the enemies were all .5x speed then it wouldn’t be very engaging.

Censor Torgue? In what way do you mean, because he’s been bleeped out since his introduction in Borderlands 2.

I’m happy to see that it looks good! The return to a more serious style is welcome after 3 games of perhaps taking it too far.

First impression is it seems a lot more Destiny-like: personal vehicles, quests you can pick up anywhere, dynamic events. I’m not complaining necessarily, but looks like they took some notes.

The movement options seem nice but not sure they add that much really. If they don’t solve a challenge that the enemies provide then it’s kinda pointless. I almost never used slide or ground pound in combat in previous games because I was better off just shooting the enemies.

And as much as I love my Jakobs weapons, I was hoping to see a manufacturer revamp. They even used the same companies in Tiny Tina’s with only minor tweaks. The heavy weapons sharing a slot with grenades looks to be a fantastic change though, very welcome.

Also, no lip-sync on NPCs? Looks weird having Amara speaking but her character do nothing.

Overall though looks like a solid but not ground-breaking entry. The guns look just as fun as before and the art design is a step up (those bosses!) from before which I love to see. I know people complained about the Vault Hunters being generic but I don’t have a huge issue with it. I don’t need my characters to be the blue-haired anime character sitting by the window.

Thanks for posting, I wouldn’t have seen this otherwise.

I stopped reading about half-way through, people only write fiction books like this. 99.99% chance this is a shitpost.

No, they have “lore”: a bunch of inconclusive and loosely connected animation shorts, vague plot points, and character bios that give just enough of a reason for their seasonal events to occur and for fans to drool over. Just like every other live service.
