It’s not for everyone. The main reasons to ‘change sides’ so to speak is to simply get a vote in their primaries.

For once in my life, I want musk to say more.

Watching as the rights of themselves and at least some of their children get regressed by decades in real time tends to negatively impact mental health.

Step right up! Step right up! Grab a pitchfork and stab a Nazi!

I dunno, we generally hang out at least once a week and chat more often than that. I guess people don’t know how to friendship anymore.

Still sad they didn’t localize the rap battle(s) for the dub. They did the laziest possible thing where they left it as is and didn’t even bother to subtitle it.

So knowing a disproportionate amount of women who are 5’-10" and over means I must live in the enlightened zone of the 99th percentile.

Instead of going to find it… I’ll just do my best to list it from memory (and it’s not going to be complete)

• ammo economy in general was ruined from the first game. The entire ‘guardian’ legendary weapon set were removed, and most class mods no longer have any ammo regeneration unless certain characters. Lots of guns now shoot multiple bullets per shot, making this problem even worse.

• Backpack space was lowered from the first game, while equippables was increased. Overall space was increased with the bank included… but not by much. I think the difference is 2.

• The rock, paper, scissors health types first introduced in the general knoxx DLC were really leaned into really hard, which means it’s very handy to have a weapon of each element type on your person.

These three were my major issues. It’s a LOOTER SHOOTER. I need to LOOT and SHOOT. These three points made it more of a chore to do the base game loop at higher levels, especially considering that most characters had only a couple preferred weapon types. Combining all three points meant I was usually balancing 3 weapons of different types so the ammo didn’t overlap with different elements so I could effectively shoot fleshy, shielded, and armored enemies… and then sometimes slag.

There are some other gripes about the skill trees being overall worse than the first game, the DLC’s eluding to the best fights from 1 and being really disappointing (looking at you Crawmerex), and the lack of any real changes in the enemies from the first game. Sure there were plenty of new skins, but the actions didn’t change at all.

I’m sure there were more, but these points were enough to show me that the dev team was moving in a direction I wasn’t particularly excited to play. The story and most boss fights were way better than 1’s. So there was some positive growth, but in terms of overall gameplay I felt that the game was a massive downturn from where I would have liked to see the game go.

I noted the issues with gearbox near the end of the borderlands 2 cycle and put them on my ‘I’ll buy it when it drops down to under $10 for everything’ category.

I have posted a fully compiled list for 2 that put me off further first day spending posted somewhere. I’m sure I could find it if needed.

They don’t have any dlc lined up yet so not being to sell you empty promises on top of a normal game price is really tugging at Randy’s purse strings.

I distinctly remember playing co-op and having the second player open the map in borderlands 1 while driving around as a pseudo mini map. As much as ‘those were the days’, I don’t yearn for them back.

Now, having various UI elements as toggles I could totally get behind.

Core keeper, Webfishing, Helldivers 2, and powerwashing simulator. I’ve been in a very chill gaming mood aside from the hectic fire fights of helldivers.

Same and same.

Amazingly… this bond is almost exclusively going to be used on bug planets… since the weapons are melee focused and going melee vs bots or squids is not a great idea.

Well those look completely impractical and incredibly fun.

By going out and being social. For me the issue isn’t anything more than self doubt and overthinking dumb stuff that others don’t actually care about. Head empty, go places.

Today was a day of being one letter off.

Sadly people of all types/shapes/colors/upbringings/etc. have the capability to be shitty. I could guess at why that person decided to lash out in your general direction, but I don’t know what they have gone through and honestly wouldn’t want to take pot shots at them. I hope it was just a random one off and you don’t need to interact with them on any kind of basis.
