  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only bought cheap TVs, because that’s what was available to me.

  A year or so ago I got a big Samsung at an estate auction. It’s older than all my other TVs, but much better than all of them.

  There may be higher quality or better value brands, but I can confirm that Samsung makes a nice TV.

  I was thinking of network television.

  I do love those paid promotion tags. Lets me know to just keep scrolling.

  Is possible that they do, but it’s so subtle that you don’t notice.

  We’ve learned to identify and resist ads, so at this point, the most effective ads are the ones we don’t recognize.

  I see what you did there.

  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.

  Probably not “used” as in victimized. I think they were giving you a chance.

  Sounds like she liked you, and wanted to see if being in a relationship would cause her to develop romantic feelings.

  It didn’t, so, there was no point in pretending.

  Sounds like you two weren’t really compatible, and you both learned a little from the experience. I say, no harm, no foul.

  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.

  Yup. I get one when my wife tells me it’s time.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What D&D alignment would my character(s) be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Lawful doesn’t mean “the law”, it means order and hierarchy. Members of a murderous gang would still be lawful evil, because there is a leader and middle management and entry level goons. They all have a role to play and understand that their success as individuals relies on the success of the group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What D&D alignment would my character(s) be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds to me like you have very shitty friends.

  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.

  there’s also a high chance some MAGA influencers are just grifters anyway

  There are two types of MAGA, evil and stupid. Most of them are stupid, they don’t think about it, so it makes sense to them, but they can’t explain why. The ones who tell the stupid what to say, are the evil ones.

  That could very well be the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how are you able to care more about your job itself than the people at your job?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you were to do all the tasks that you typically do in a day with NO OTHER coworkers around (with a 30 min break) do you think you would feel better about your job?

  Don’t consider things like less nurses means more patients, just assume it’s taken care of, and it’s just the normal amount of running around that you typically do now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨does the new employee eventually stop being the one given the most tasks?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just be aware and possibly grow as a person.

  Nobody cares about what some random person says about some other random person. If she just stops stalking this guy stalking her, he’ll either get bored and move on, or, he’ll continue to waste his life posting insults that she’ll never read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If spiderman shoots webs from his wrists would not the tension of shooting and swingiing up a skyscraper pretty much break his wrist? Also why SpiderMAN shouuldn''t it be SpiderTEEN?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In addition to what others have said, Spidey grabs the web in his hand after he shoots it. He’s not actually swinging by his wrists, he’s holding it like we would hold a rope.

  Also, calling himself SpiderTeen would weaken his secret identity, as that’s a much smaller percentage of the population. Especially when he gets older and starts calling himself Spiderman, his enemies could easily do the math and start searching for people around that age.
