I am by no means a YTM Stan and I agree it’s not a great app, but at the same time I struggle to think of one that’s objectively better, besides the now defunct Google Play Music. And that was only really better because it was easier to navigate.

Yeah and why do we have more than one news organization, when we could just have one official news channel and you’d never have to go searching for news articles again. And we could have one central bank that holds all of our money, that would make sending money around much easier.

If you have an iPhone, it’s a pain over Tailscale because Tailscale frequently likes to disconnect for various reasons and this isn’t something Tailscale can fix, it’s something with the way Apple manages background processes.

If you’d like an alternative, you can host your services directly to the internet via a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx, and then use mTLS to secure that access with a certificate you load only onto your devices.

Hard bots have actually been so much trouble, that literally the only way to make them hard at all is to make them cheat by allowing them to operate outside of the ruleset the player is bound by. It’s a humongous issue with every strategy game on the market.

If that’s your definition of a low bar, then it hasn’t really fallen so much as it’s always been that low. From the beginning, games have gone without cutscenes, plot, even dialogue. Many of the greatest and most beloved games of this decade and the last have had sub par stories, and often times no plot, cutscenes, or characters to speak of at all, and yet they’re some of the best of all time. They’re three of the least important things for a game to have after all, especially the Borderlands games, where the story is little more than a vehicle to deliver more gameplay, and the gameplay in 3 is the best of the series. Thats the only thing that really matters when it comes to people wanting to play games.

Yeah people were spoiled by how good the characters and story were in Borderlands 2. They forgot how Borderlands 1 didn’t even really have a plot and for the most part doesn’t need one.

…yeah? It’s a video game, not a movie. Why would anyone let three things that aren’t crucial to a game stop them from enjoying the things that are crucial to a game? The skip cutscene button works just fine lol.

As a Borderlands sequel, or just as a game? I’ve never actually heard anyone complain about the gameplay. It’s the same gameplay the series is known for but even more refined, with tons of QoL improvements. It is quite literally the best in its class with no real equal.

The only thing I can imagine about your friends is that they didn’t get through much of the gameplay because they were turned off by the horrifically bad writing, cringelord villains, and a sense of humor firmly stuck 15 years in the past, which I would not blame them for.

Plot, characters, and writing aside, Borderlands 3 was a very well made and fun game on a technical level. I’m definitely interested in Borderlands 4, as long as we can continue to skip cutscenes lmao.

You ask who the fuck decided to sell your studio to a secretive block chain company

Most likely the private equity firm that owns your company

Perhaps some kind of teaser that hints at what your strategy is before going into full detail?
