  • I just wanna blow shit up and have a good time. I like a challenge for sure, but what they did was just silly. I remember getting back online a couple months back and realizing all my favorite guns had half the ammo and felt like I was shooting bugs with a nerf gun (pun intended). I played one mission and got so frustrated I quit and haven’t played since. Instead of buffing the weapons nobody was using to make them more fun, they nerfed all the fun weapons so all the weapons felt like ass.

    I remember reading a while back that they nerfed the grenade pistol so it only had like 2 or 3 shots per resupply. As the only guy that probably ever used it, my only thought was “well why the fuck would I even bring it than?! What the fuck do you expect me to do with two fucking shots in my gun?”



  • I was so worried about this game being bad. Not that I didn’t trust them to make a game as good as the first Frost Punk, but more that some of the expansions for the first game were pretty meh. Still good, but nothing like the original experience of the game. Anything above a 7 is a great sign as it’s not a game for everyone. The fact that it got a decent amount of 8’s and 9’s is even better. I can’t wait to play it!

    … After I beat the first one again.


  • Every time I’ve ever had a big test, a presentation, a job interview, the first day on a job, a meeting, a doctors appointment, a big trip the next day, and literally everything else you can think of, I have stayed up all night. At first it’s an issue of anxiety, but by 3 AM it turns into “well if I fall asleep now I can’t trust myself to get up in the morning so I might as well stay up all night.”









  • As much as I hate to admit this, I don’t think this will change my opinion on her. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s incredibly fucked up that they continue to give them the weapons they use to murder civilians. But I also know that pretty much every president that has been elected since Israel has existed as a country would do exactly the same. The vast majority of politicians are spineless when it comes to Israel and always will be, regardless of party affiliation. No matter who gets elected it will always be the same answer with varying degrees of severity. And even if Harris wanted to do something about it, do you really think she would say anything new until she knew for a fact she was going to win? She’d get ostracized by the majority of her own party and potentially lose a bunch of those fancy endorsements she just received.

    I’m not saying it’s right. In fact, it’s so fucked up it makes my blood boil. I’m just saying that politicians are fucking cowards and always will be.


  • Just a heads up, this opinion is also based on the fact that I find the Far Cry games extremely boring and exhausting with side “quests”:

    Handsome Jack was definitively an amazing antagonist. Seemed like a believable character. I think that’s where they fell off, honestly. The only good characters in Borderlands 3 were the ones from the previous games. The only thing keeping me interested through the tedium on my recent playthroughs were the characters. The constant back and forth within the same areas between NPC’s and bounty boards for fetch quests would be unbearable without the characters. Unsurprisingly, Borderlands 3 was the only one I didn’t finish upon replaying.

    If they don’t do anything new or crazy, it’ll probably be a hard pass for me. Borderlands 3 was pretty mid and I’m pretty exhausted with the whole “looter shooter” genre. Plus my only memories of the previous Borderlands games are shooting the same enemies for hours while [insert NPC] is constantly talking into my ear. I honestly don’t even remember the gameplay of those games without someone always talking over everything. Besides major plot points and memorable cutscenes, I think 80% of the dialogue just went in one ear and right out the other.

    I have nothing against the games and I have nothing against people who like the games. People like what they like. I tried going back and playing through them all again a couple years ago and everything just felt tedious and boring. But if they can pull out all the stops and put in the effort, I might give it a try if my friends want me to get it.
