I mean, the election's too close to call at the moment. So, Mr. Trump encourages all of his supporters in North Carolina (a swing state, of course) to vote twice just to call into question the legitimacy of the entire election there. Then, Mr. Wolf, the acting head of the Department of Homeland Security, refuses to release a memo that Russia is trying to portray Biden as mentally incapacitated because, "It was poorly-written, and I only want to put out top-of-the-line stuff."
Er, WHAT?!?!?!!?!?
It'd be laughable if the stakes weren't so high.

It's true, despite what the white house says Barron is still not considered a dog by law.

Crazy finish to the DF kickstarter. Broke 4M at last second. Largest number of backers since the first one. Largest average pledge size (not surprising since campaign levels were higher across board it seemed).
Now I want my plaguestone stuff to arrive.

Sometimes, the age of Dirt Cheap Convenience is quite disturbing: I just found the fourth copy of My Neighbor Totoro in our storage pile.
Yeah, it's a great movie. But did we really need FOUR copies of it?!?!?!

One to be your neighbor to the left, one to be your neighbor to the right, one to be your neighbor vis-a-vis... Ok, no idea where to put the fourth one? In tunnels beneath your basement.

You keep saying this, and I will keep saying that Prequel has better story and characters than Borderlands 1, even if the level design is more clunky.Borderlands 3 sale on Humble Store... Would be more attractive if I had a computer capable of running it smoothly...Borderlands 3 is significantly inferior to 1 or 2, though it's definitely better than the prequel; we actually played all the way through it and played a couple of the DLCs, unlike the prequel that we tried (and quit) twice.
I'm with Drejk on this one.

That surprises me a bit. I played it and while there were moment of frustration, I had no big issues that would make me quit. Just an occasional annoyance and, after some time, feeling that that the flow of game is inferior to B2 (IIRC I played Presequel before B1, which I got later). There weren't things that would made me quite - though some fights I had to keep repeating timne after time, especially early on (I think that was the first boss that was giving me a repeated challenge, I don't really remember why, I think I might had crap weapons at that time).Well, the story and characters don't much matter if the level design and gameplay is so bad you give up on playing.You keep saying this, and I will keep saying that Prequel has better story and characters than Borderlands 1, even if the level design is more clunky.Borderlands 3 sale on Humble Store...

The only thing about level design that stuck with me was the first jump you do with the moon zoomy. That was clunky and failed several times. Nothing else really stands out to me.

Just threw another course onto the "no update required" pile.
While it sucks when you're pushed to the limits of your ability to produce, it sucks almost as much to be looking at 3 months of barren, "We really don't have anything for you to do right now," wasteland, especially with reorgs and layoffs happening throughout the industry.
I mean, I'm really really good at what I do; unless they shut down the entire division I'm pretty confident my job is safe. But there's always that little worry in the back of your mind, "If they can't find work for you to do for two months, do they really need to keep you on board?"
(And yeah, the answer is, "In the last two weeks I've saved the bacon of two separate departments, and I'm writing a massive update recommendation to improve user uptake for a third. I'm pretty sure they need me.")
But anyhoo...

And he was required to divest from LexCorp in order to do it.
So even the authors trying to write of a dystopian U.S. future couldn't imagine someone as corrupt as as our current president.
It both depressed me and made me laugh out loud.

Give me Castle in the Sky or Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle any day, but I still don't get Totoro. Edit: It is basically one extended scene.

The problem with looking like cliche Jesus is that everyone wants to unload their problems on you.
This is apparently magnified when you are obviously in charge (the only white guy) and working a block away from the only mental institution in the state.
Not only did the homeowner tell me all his issues with his neighbors but his neighbors did the same, and then unloaded on me about unrelated issues.

All I want to do is dig a trench.
I don't care that someone drove over the weeds along the side of the road that you call flowers.
I don't care that your neighbor built their fence too low and now the bottom will rot out.
I don't need to know who spent what on their dogs and how it was definitely too much.
And most importantly, I don't need to explain why I'm digging the f**!ing trench six times in nine hours.

My knee-jerk guess: when in a competitive online game people are being divided up into teams, I imagine there's one team that the other two initially gang up on, then focus on taking each other out once the third is out of play. So "getting third-partied" means getting stuck in a group that is smaller or weaker than the other two and thus an easier first target, or having been in such a group and now having been removed from play due to the 2-on-1 disadvantage.

And thanks to Google, I've learned it's the exact opposite.
"Getting Third-Partied" apparently is when you and another player are fighting against each other, then a third person shows up and takes you both out while you're weakened and/or distracted.

We're playing the original EverQuest, and it's funny; in spite of the amazingly poor graphics and UI, it's a really really good game.
I understand now why they called it "EverCrack". Modern game designers could take a page out of it and spend a lot more time planning and a lot less time making things beautiful.
On the other hand, I am likely in the minority in that I'm perfectly happy playing a hideous game with excellent gameplay.

IIRC, the sound effects play as if they were music.
I think Borderlands suffers a lot when considering replayability. Ultimately, the formula hasn't changed much from Borderlands 1 which I think plays a large role in why people find the later installments less fun. The player is still doing the same things they did in 1, just with slightly more polish. I found BL2 almost completely unplayable unless I was playing Krieg whose gameplay was entirely different than any other character at that point. Characters in BL1 & 2 felt extremely similar since aside from their talent trees encouraging certain playstyles, shoot guns, use your special ability can only go so far.
The Presequel was okay. Claptrap was fun.
In that last respect, I think BL 3 made some healthy changes. The talent trees tend to be more interesting than "Get 2% gooder". Moze was fun. Story was kinda awful.
