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

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 quite liked the maps myself and the story whilst perhaps a little to obvious was fun.

My biggest problem was the enemy/mission level scaling which found you falling behind the main story mission quite easily making for some either very tough fights or some less than thrilling side quest farming.

Oh and how long it took to unlock weapon slots 3 & 4. Such a slog!

Not seeing any love for Toejam and Earl Back in the Groove. Reimagining of the 90's Mega drive classic made by the original dev.

Apparently a possum meme. I'm ok with this.

Never see anyone mention it so I'll go with Hyperblade!

Futuristic combat skating game that was played in stadiums akin to the inside of a rugby/american football so you had high sides for doing tricks, goals at each end and hazards in the middle.

Hazards I hear you ask? Why yes! Spinning gates with blades on them to hurt your opponents and various other objects caused a small amount of bodily harm and bleeding. This led to a viable strategy of simply killing the opposing team.

Bonus points if you decapitated them too - literally. You could use opposing players heads to score more goals. Hilarious and probably not suitable for an early teens kid but I think I mostly turned out ok.

Huh, that was what 5 years ago now? I will remember telling randy he was wrong (in perhaps an alcohol fuelled rant 🤭) only to get swiftly blocked.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Could be a fun mini series to adapt. The video game never grabbed me though.

Not great. Perpetually exhausted (~4 years, onset), GP just gaslights me into thinking I'm fine.

My friends have all but abandoned me since the pandemic.

I have no job and due to the aforementioned fatigue struggle to find a route back to employment.

On the plus side my cat loves me. Probably something to doo with tuna.

Overall I think I win.

I thump my water bottle down on the desk just hard enough to make my mouse trigger and wake up the PC. By the time I'm sat comfortably it's awaiting a password :]

Managed to see Limp Bizkit twice during the late 00's/early 10's when they shoved their way onto a festival lineup. Second best band of the weekend! Go if you can!

Stardew Valley has been a life saver during bouts of insomnia.

Other than that BG3 and Golf with your Friends.

So poor Willow had to go to the vet for a nail trim as she seems to have gotten lazy in her old age. Largely ignored any scratching posts as she preferred the fence/raised borders outside but is now scared of outside too! (Me too Willow 🤣)

Got her a new scratching post and on the 3rd day (and much catnip spray) we have a scratching session! Hopefully we can keep her using it and save on the vet bills!

Hey,

Still fairly new to this hobby and have lots of ideas but I've got a snag with a few prints now and was hoping someone could help me work out what I'm doing wrong.

The project is small trays for a custom advent calendar but as you can see the corner on the second picture has lifted massively.

A 3d printed tray in grey with a handle.

This has happened before with a different print too and I never solved that issue either.

Using an Ender 3 Pro with some generic filament from amazon, hot end at 200C (goes stringy any higher), bed was 50C for this print I think.

Any help would be wonderful :)

14 years ago Willow joined our family and had been a cuddly little monster ever since!

 

Yes the belly rubs are fair play 😎

 

She's so cute and needy I can't even most days - always cheers me right up even if I didn't know I needed it!

 

Hey,

I'm running Call of the Netherdeep for a party and have some potential final boss cheesing I need help with. Members of The Inevitable should leave now!

I have been looking at the final boss fight and it tries to have the players talk the boss down for damage/debuffs and finally surrender in different phases. These are set at increasing DC's of 15/17/19 for the 3 stages.

The tricky part is I have an Eloquence Bard in the party and at level 8 his minimum floor for a persuasion roll is 22 😬

How do I play this or alter this to make it more challenging? Obvious strategy would be to attack/silence the bard after hearing their silver tongue the first time.

I could just up the DC's but that feels like I'm diminishing the player choices and restricting other players from joining in the efforts?

Ideas/thoughts welcome!

One possible solution would be to have the boss require each player to pass a persuasion check at some time?

Individual party member bonuses for Persausion are: 0/+2/+5/+7/+12 (min roll 10, min persuasion 22 😬 ).
