Part of the reasons why Borderlands is separate on different platforms might be legacy of keeping FPS separate for keyboard and mouse playing PC gamers and Pad playing console gamers. On multiple occasions mouse + keyboard was recognized as superior set-up for FPS (mouse-look is more precise than joypad can be), which lead to PC gamers having an advantage in games that were mostly intended as PvP.

I've played Borderlands the Prequel for approximately ten minutes, long enough to pick a character (gunslinger, of course) and learn that I suck and died.
I imagine I'll live slightly longer next time.
If you liked Borderlands 2, you really should go back to presequel. While the level construction and flow of game is somewhat worse than in B2, the characters are more active in the storyline. You get to witness Handsome Jack's start of descent into what he becomes in B2 and acquaintance yourself with some of his henchmen that were bosses there.
Also, LAZERS!
I've never played Borderlands before, we had the toys at Toys R Us and I've seen it around but that's it.

So the missing content for B1, B2, and pre-Sequel costed me... 5-point-something dollars. I think I am ok with that.
I still blame Nobody for that, though.
Yeah, yeah. Everything is Nobody's fault.
I followed your link and added you, but I think you've got to accept or some such.
And tonight we're pretty brain-dead, but I'll PM you when we're actually feeling sociable. Which is most nights.

Yeah, that's what I was seeing when I started reading up on it. But still... have some faith in gamers to adapt...

I will note in my experience playing Fortnite that keyboard-mouse is indeed better in PvP games.
Or it's possible I just suck that much.

Just keep in mind that we're "casual" gamers to the point of, "I wonder whether you die when you jump off this cliff? Huh. I guess you do."
Or my favorite: "What happens when I put all my build points towards this one esoteric ability? Wow... I really suck! Let's go fight a boss and see how bad it is!"
We really don't take things very seriously...

that shouldn't result in us playing separately. Then again my memory of mouse keyboard kids is very unique.

Well, there might be issue of time zones between us - at this time for most of nights I should be sleeping, as I will be getting around 8 am up all the next week (it's near 6 am now).
Also, I think I will need to get some earphones with microphone as the laptop microphone might be dead (or maybe I just turned it off somewhere in bios/depths of the system setting and don't remember how to turn it back on).

Those were console folks complaining, not PC ones.

Huh. Apparently microphone was simply disabled in device manager and only needed checking "show disabled" to become visible, which made it easy to re-enable.

Yep. Just wrapping up the Pirate's Booty and going to bed.

Someday I will reach a point of no longer finding my self-worth in how much labor I managed to accomplish in one 24 hour period. Today, however, is not that day.
So, for the record, I spent a total of 7 hours today cleaning my garage and reorganizing it in mid-90s heat. I helped my mother-in-law with the AT&T guy, providing translation services for the deaf and technologically illiterate. I went to the grocery store. I made a massive pan of pastitsio for Father's Day dinner tomorrow night for which my in-laws are coming. And now it is time for bed. I am tired.

The whole gaming industry is so discouraging.
I was going to text CY my Borderlands 2 ID so he could hook up with us for some co-op (because we MUST play Tiny Tina again, or B&B or whatever it's called), but of COURSE you can't do cross-platform PC/Playstation.
Because that would make people happy.
Grr...
Steam?
I have Borderlands 2 on PC...
Now I have to check if my own Borderlands 2 have Tiny Tina's DLC or not (I played through it when a friend's account was connected to mine).
I, too, have Borderlands 2 on Steam...

If you haven't played Borderlands before the best order is to play Borderlands 1, then play Borderlands 2, and then play Borderlands The Presequel, which is a weird situation when a character tells the events that took place between 1 and 2 to protagonists of both in circumstances that take place after 2 and contains spoilers for 2.
Though honestly, you can skip Borderlands 1, start with 2, and then play the Presequel without much story issues.

while that will be remembered as a momentous occasion when it happens, I actually channeled my inner CY and constructed a new gaming chair and some affordable swedish crap for the kitchen.

Try drinking a beer or hard lemonade, the General swears by it for relieving stress at the end of the day, and she should know, she works for the state.

At the grocery store in our neighborhood, they just printed a new sign and stuck it over the gift card display they'd set out for Mother's Day, which was full of Sephora, Ulta, Bath and Body Works, Nordstrom, Dillard's, and Macy's cards. The "why bother" factor was high.
Now, if it were Sears, I could understand it, because one of the key signs of staunch middle-class-ness in my hometown was the Red Craftsman Tool Cabinet of Holding +1. Usually for dads who never seemed to actually make, do, or fix much with their tools. But they *had* them, by gosh.

For father's day I got biscuits & gravy for breakfast, a strand of beads for the gratitude ritual i've been trying, and later when Mrs Sunrise returned from an outing I got an amusing story.
Apparently one of our acquaintances asked her whether she and Yellow are an item. Because Yellow has been living with us, and frequently posts on facebook about things they do together. We do have a poly-family acquaintance, so from his PoV it's totally possible.
Which I find incredibly amusing, as Mrs. Sunrise gets more and more frequently annoyed with Yellow than I do.

MrT is currently going trough the pre-sequel now. He has to do it in little bits, or the low gravity of the game makes him nauseous.

(to make it more terrible monster of course).
In completely unrelated news: while playing Commander Lilith And The Fight For The Sanctuary, I just found a frozen side corridor with some remains that, when activated, called a white skrag named "Ghost" who dropped a relic "Winter is over" that grants incendiary damage bonus...

FAWTL people are adding people on Steam? I should do this, since I've kind of drifted away from Pathfinder and to 5E, and correspondingly from Paizo.com to RPG.net. I could actually keep in contact with you guys from Steam.
Then again, I'm leaving for southern Europe tomorrow, and won't be in front of a PC for a month. I can't even pack right now, because packing for me is "throw sufficient clothing into a backpack". So I'm just chilling until I can go to sleep, since there's nothing to prepare.
