Excellent write up as usual. I’ve had Selaco on my wishlist for awhile now but it may be time to pick it up!

Borderlands 3 had some of the best gameplay in any shooter I’ve played, story and difficulty be damned. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was back to form, despite its disappointing post-game and 3-room DLCs. The only reason I’m excited for 4 is because the gameplay looks solid and they’ve yet to tell a single joke.

I’m out of the loop, what did Devolver do?

I have no interest in continuing after the first few minutes. Slow, clumsy dialogue (with an AI voice, no less) and you explain nothing. Why add subway surfers? You’ve already got an “avatar” character you could draw in different poses and “animate” to act like talking. That would be far more engaging than this.

They are smoking crack if they think they can sell the Joy Con 2s (Joy Cons 2? Joys 2 Cons?) for $95.

Why can’t we have both?

This one is supposed to be the final patch. They’ve stated that they made the game they intended to make, and are moving on.

But… Originally they said they were never going to add new subclasses, and they did. They’re full of surprises.

Can confirm that Cassette Beasts is a great game. I haven’t been able to try the new update yet but I’m looking forward to it!

I hope they get their money back from getting shafted during the Direct.

I had wishlisted this one a few weeks ago, happy to see it’s out of early access.

Likely answer is just some fucking assholes. There are some real garbage people in gaming communities.

The jokes in BL/BL2 felt like their own unique jokes, contained within the Borderlands universe, because they were. BL3 had a lot of reference humor, which can be fine, but some of the memes they referenced were 3-4 years out of date and the jokes fell flat and made us groan.

The trailer for 4 was promising, and I only realized on a second watch that it contained no jokes, which honestly I appreciated. I think it has potential, as long as Randy Shitford doesn’t do anything to fuck it up.

Or it’ll be cancelled and never see the light of day, just like that other Sims-like from Paradox.

If you haven’t played this one yet, I highly recommend it. Very good visual novel.

I’ve been playing since the last round of beta invites, and I love it. Everything’s pretty intuitive so far, and I find myself moving around more to give me those steps. Can’t wait to see what comes next!!

The writing is really awful but boy the gameplay is fun. It’s certainly the step up from Borderlands 2 that was needed (even though I love BL2 more in every other way)

I wish I could do this in real life. I’ve seen two in my city and they’re visually arresting.

This is the real deal…

Basically, yeah. If your game is in a playable state, launching in early access allows devs to get feedback from the community, who help shape the game all the way to the full release. Generally EA games are discounted, with the expectation that it isn’t finished or polished, full of bugs, etc.

This looks rad! I love gamifying life 😅

Signed up, and I hope to support this soon! I wish the development process well!

A community manager in HD2 Discord has said that the mandatory account linking is a Sony directive.

It appears that Steam had delisted the game in countries that PSN is not available in.

Sometimes I have to call a doctor’s office. Or my mom.

They mostly are. Occasionally I’ll get a few that are from the next area code over, even less occasionally I’ll get them from completely different states.

It would be my luck that blocking a range of numbers would block something important.

You’re the second person to recommend this app. Guess I gotta check into it now! Thanks.

I do love the idea of wasting their time! I’ve done it a couple of times, but nothing quite so extensive as what you do. Usually when I call robo call numbers back, I get “this number is disconnected,” so I can’t even annoy the hell out of them like they do to me. :/

I must admit I’m a bit afraid to modify my phone like that, just not something I’m used to. Plus, I’m afraid of how it’ll work with my carrier (Google Fi). Might be worth researching, it seems.

Seems to be on, apparently… Thank you for showing me though!

Silly question, but where in settings is this? I feel like I’ve had it set up but can’t remember.

You know what? I appreciate this reference. And if I don’t laugh, I’ll scream. So thanks!

I use Google Fi, so I’ll take a deep dive for anything there. Any app recommendations? I’m nervous to search through the store since there can be many not-so-good apps that would probably need some hefty permissions (access to calls, call logs, etc). Thank you, though!

Here’s the voicemail log that I mentioned. It’s just insane.

+1 to Spigen. I have a case on my pixel 5 that has a nice little kickstand.
