‘Talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them’

Yeah, and I only allow peeing in one corner of the pool.

I’m surprised. I would have guessed that music would be one field that the suits wouldn’t pay too much attention as long as it didn’t sound like garbage at the end of the day.

Yeah, I’m a longtime Borderlands fan who follows what’s going on with the franchise, and Randy just acts like a child who inherited a video game company. He usually says this dumb shit with a smile on his face, so I think he’s intending it to be in good fun, but it just does not come across that way.

I can see that.

I’m not far enough to have settled on an opinion on the open world yet. I did find it tedious in other BL games that I had to walk through the same areas in the same order over and over again to access the end game or start a new character.

That being said, I often don’t know where to go or what to do in BL4. Thank Torgue they added the Echo objective finder, that’s pretty much the only way I’ve been able to stay on track at all.

The new one feels like progress so far. I’m not very deep in, but the story and dialogue are not nearly as annoying as 3 was. The biggest difference has to be the movement. In previous games it often felt like you were trudging forward until you found an enemy and then running backwards so they didn’t catch you before they die. Grappling hooks, double jumps, and gliding add a TON of movement and gives you those John Wick moments where you’re bouncing around the area and blasting people from every direction.

Good assessment. I agree completely!

I’m not very far in, but so far I’m enjoying B4 more than TPS, and MUCH more than 3.

I love Borderlands, but I really wish Randy would just shut the fuck up.

Remember when Mortal Kombat came out and we all started ripping each other’s heads off and pulling out still beating hearts? Those were the days.

And look how much happier I am for not hearing about it back then! 😂

Am I the only one enjoying the recent increase in “shadow” launches? I really appreciate not having to wait months or years or decades (looking at you Bethesda) after first hearing about a game.

Isn’t Fortnite still in beta or something?

I agree with the towers. Worst part of the game.

My main intention on my remastered playthrough was to try to break the game through spell creation and enchanting. I ended up with a few spells that would turn me invisible and pump my speed and acrobatics to insane levels. Most of those tower levels have you running all over and opening gates, but I just jumped over them and avoided every enemy as I sprinted to the top.

Balatro ate up a good chunk of my 2025

Also Oblivion Remastered.

I don’t understand the hate, so I’ll try explaining myself and either redeem myself or dig myself deeper.

Religious zealots have been trying to ban explicit material since forever.

Saying Project 2025 caused the Steam ban is like saying Tipper Gore caused Project 2025.

EDIT: Ok, I went back to make sure I didn’t miss something, and I did. This 2025 guy’s group pressured the payment companies to put the squeeze on steam, who folded like a house of cards.

My bad, he did kind of cause this, or at least instigate it.

Correlation is not causation.

I oversimplified for comedic effect, but the animation was just terrible in that movie. All of the character movement was awkward and didn’t feel natural at all.

The thoughts were, what could be more realistic than the motions of real actors? And the answer was: nearly everything. Sure, we use motion capture, but we’ve mixed it with traditional animation theory and fine tuned it to work. Far from the awkward mirroring they did in FF.

In mother fucking 2001 we had Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

I walked into that movie as an animation student wondering how motion capture and 3D animation would change the industry.

I walked out convinced that the industry will not give a fuck about any of that trash.

This is the best part of the ads in question:

Played the Heretic remake. Pretty fun to come back to that one after 30 years. 😂

I might try Hexen next, I hear they made it much better, but the original wasn’t great at all.
