I preferred the second one, but the first is also decent. Borderlands 3 is when the series went kakapo. It had good gun mechanics and skill trees, but the story was terrible and had incredibly annoying characters you had to listen to. Actually, that is not precisely true for me though because I muted the bloody voice audio so I would not get that annoyed.
They talk about Borderlands 4 going to be more mature and toned down on the toilet humor, but I don't see that happening. They lost their touch and just looking at the new BL4 main characters, I can already see where this kakapo is going.
Wouldn't mind seeing this, although it seems like going to a theater to watch a YouTube video.

I could never get into Borderlands because all the guns were so inaccurate.
That's almost the entirety of the Borderlands franchise. EVERY character is overly obnoxious and, for the most part, unlikable. Obnoxious people and guns. Hell, sometimes even the guns are obnoxious.
There are apparently 15 guns with voices in the Borderlands series. I'm pretty sure you don't want to have to listen to any of them.
We learned just how small Valve really is this year, but also how good it is at raking in the cash: It's making more money per employee than Apple
Valve is actually smaller than Larian, but in terms of pure money-making efficiency there's nobody bigger.
No one knows exactly how much money Valve makes, but the most recent estimate I saw was $9 billion/year. Based on this and 339 employees, Valves revenue per employee was over $26 million/employee. The estimated profit percentage for Valve is 40 percent, so the average profit per employee is over $10 million.
For comparison, Amazon's net income per employee is around $15,000.
Just shows they are efficient.
Having lots of people who don't add value doesn't really make a lot of Sense
Twitter reduced its staff by 2/3 under Musk and still seems to be doing fine.

From what I understand Twitter is not doing fine at all. However, I think most of that is because of the changes Musk made outside of reducing staff.
Ubisoft? Could swear I knew a company that used to make decent games with that name. Don't know what happened to them...

Ubisoft had an absolutely dire 2024 and desperately needs a win
And I'm not convinced Assassin's Creed Shadows is going to be it.
This year John Romero declared that 'gib' is pronounced like 'giblet' and it's the gif debate all over again
Why you gotta do us like this, man?
I’m in the Hard G group. I pronounce “gibs” and “gifs” with a hard G like in the word “give”. Hard pronunciation on the G. Just makes sense to me, but I won’t get annoyed if you say gif like a shortened version of Jiffy.
Same, never had an account, even the variant of twitter, instagrams "threads" is just as toxic. I sometimese get messages from people my age on Snapchat and im like, wtf is someone my age using this app to talk to me for lol.
Even though i occasionally stream and stuff, im not sure its all that interesting either.
Also probably have the least friends on facebook because i only add people that i actually talk to irl.
I have a Facebook account but only as I was looking for old friends 10 years or so ago and used it to try to find some, I haven't used it at all since. Mum uses it to keep up with family.
I have a linkedn account but I had to set it up for some course I did, and I don't use it as if I do, they offer "free" upgrades to my service that end up being monthly costs I don't need/want. I know how "free" monthly accounts work, they rely on you forgetting and then charging you monthly for something you don't use. Reminds me I need to think about cancelling Xbox sub on PC... I never play those games.
About next closest would be reddit where I had an account for 15 years but have never posted anything... I just read. Early on there were actually intelligent conversations there, until it became front page of internet and pretty stupid by this stage.
I guess Discord might count as social media but as its restricted in scope, there is no front page of Discord where anyone can look at server posts, so they stay "local" and strangers can't interact with them unless they on the server. And a lot of them are invite only.
Hardly a social butterfly. Prefer to not follow trends, don't see self as a sheep (or lemming)

Spelling of words is determined by how we spell them, right? If you spell a word differently than most everyone else, then your spelling is wrong. However, if a large group of people spell a word in a new way and keep spelling it that way, it eventually becomes an alternate spelling of the same word, right? Because I've been seeing MANY people spelling "lose" as "loose" for MANY years now....
Straight to jail with you 👉
Amid a tidal wave of new games in 2024, these 10 must-play deep cuts are cheap and will run on almost anything
They're worth your time and (relatively little) money.
Was excited to see two of my favorites from this year on this list. I think I posted a bit about Skald when I was playing it back in like May, but I recently started Felvidek and have been loving the crap out of it.

I read that article mostly to try and figure out what "deep cut" is supposed to mean. I'm still not sure.
P.S. You might want to cut the /#comments from the end of the link. That jumps right to the comments section. Granted, checking the headline then jumping straight to the comments is a common tactic, but....

I think it just means something like "hidden gem". The only game I recognised was the 1v1 FPS one because I happened to read the article PCGamer did on it, plus it won FPS GOTY. I think I've seen Skald mentioned before, but I had no idea what it was about.

ROFL for the video and ROFL at Merriam-Webster for trying to get 'deep cuts' recent examples, which didn't match the definition at all.
