Yay, borderlands! I think it’s been my favourite franchise for a solid decade now and Borderlands 2 certainly swallowed a huge portion of my life and honestly still does to some degree.

The series has had some gems and some less than great content but the gameplay loop has always been very satisfying!

I’m excited to get into Borderlands 2 once I finally beat Pre-Sequel. I’ve heard that 2 is considered an improvement over the Pre-Sequel

Psymonkee,
@Psymonkee@lemmy.world avatar

Very much so. Pre sequel came out after 2 though which is a tad confusing but I look forward to your impressions!

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get to 2. Pre sequel I only play with my friend and it takes backseat a lot. Maybe after my Alan Wake 1-2 play through I’ll buckle down and play through Pre-Sequel with him

How long has your playthrough been thus far? Didn‘t know it has 2 DLCs AND American Nightmare, I thought the latter is its only DLC

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

In total time I don’t think I can get a solid answer because this isn’t my first play through on PC so the time is a bit muddled but if I had to guess maybe about 20 Hours considering Nightmare mode and going out of my way to get all the collectibles?

The DLCs are included in the PC and remaster too I think, so they are only DLC for the Xbox version which is why you may not have heard of them. They’re called Specials in the Game

Hey, just wanted to say that I really have become accustomed to seeing your daily game pics. I don’t know if you have been told this enough but good on you for sticking to it. Looking forward to seeing another one tomorrow ;)

Beats the heck out of the feed of depressing articles of companies doing dumb stuff and people plugging their youtubes. In short I agree.

Jasonw911,

My man is seriously a light in my doomscrolling. I look forward to it. Certainly doesn’t hurt that he has great taste in games

EABOD25, do gaming w This will look great in my library

My wife has came at me like that before. She has over 500 books that she’s never read so I just flip it around on her

samus12345,

Books are generally cheaper, though.

EABOD25,

Per capita, but think about it. Over 500 books. We got books in the spare room. We got books in the living room. We have books in storage lol

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

True. She needs to get an e-reader and just pirate them if she’s not gonna read them anyway!

EABOD25,

She keeps reminding me “It could be drugs”

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

At least drugs can be resold for a decent price if you don’t use them.

EABOD25,

She just wants bookstore credit lol. Bookstore credit is like the most selfish/unselfish thing ever. Like people are reading, but you’re getting free books lol. I’ve learned to just keep my mouth shut about it unless she says something about my video games. If the boss is happy, I get to be happy

grrgyle,

Also shoutout to libraries. I’ve got a whole reservation queue going

toynbee,

What if I massively overbuy both games and books without consistently consuming either?

EABOD25,

Well, if you have the disposable income and you’re not married, it’s no different than me and my wife’s finances haha

toynbee,

Hah! I like that comparison, very apt.

I am married. My wife is concerned because I enjoy and own an unreasonable quantity of video games and books; and we have a toddler with a growing interest in both as well.

My wife says that our next house won’t have a library, it will just be built from books.

On the plus side, one of my favorite authors - Terry Pratchett - once said “I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who has enough room for all of their books.” I would have liked to be friends with him.

grrgyle,

… one of my favorite authors - Terry Pratchett - once said “I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who has enough room for all of their books.” I would have liked to be friends with him.

That’s beautiful. Also the quote makes me feel a lot better about all the books strewn about the house. Makes it seem more normal, or acceptable. Kind of flips it around to a good thing.

The elusive distant barking from afar.

You hear it, but you’re unable to imitate the bark in your mind, you can’t really define the bark, but it’s there.

grrgyle,

When did it even start? Hasn’t it always been there, just at the edge of hearing?

Tell your friends and family that you love them but you won’t see them for a while

TankovayaDiviziya,

I’m nearly finishing up The Witcher 2. Judging from the discussions, I’m afraid of starting Witcher 3 because I have other backlog of games I have to finish as soon as possible.

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

you got deadlines or something?

shindig1457,

We all have a final deadline for finishing our backlog and experiencing as much as we can in this world.

@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

I hope it’s not coming up soon as I haven’t made much progress!

TankovayaDiviziya,

Bought games from years ago I have to finish. Waste of money if I don’t complete them but I keep buying new ones.

anzo,
@anzo@programming.dev avatar

First, stop buying games (*1)

Second, consider reading about the sunken costs fallacy, e.g. duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+overcome+sunk+cost+falla…

(*1) there’s piracy xdd

TankovayaDiviziya,

That’s why I am not buying new ones until I finish the others.

Edit: also, I do take the high seas. But only games coming from greedy devs who don’t deserve my money.

Game is huge. Do use cheats for potions or ingredients. Check popular mods that give easy way around cumbersome tasks.

And, if you’re like me and always play spellcasters instead of fighters in RPGs, do check some builds after certain level (20s?). Get griffin set of course, do know there are levels for its items.

Me explaining how Quake is actually two franchises but how id software has never really had good creative direction, so they mostly got lucky with their hits.

I wish there was warnings about handing my long-nailed partner the new controller before playing FIFA. Apparently when you’re making your guy run faster by applying hydraulic press levels of force to the joystick, using your thumbnail on the rubber helps stop sweat slips.

grrgyle,

Probably shreds the rubber, though.
