Oh thank goodness, I'm not the only one. I feel like I wake up from a long sleep with enough eye crusties to make a crumble cake. I have a bottle of saline solution by the bed and rinse/moisten eyes out when I wake up, and am rubbing bits of crusties away for ages. And all day new ones keep slowly forming in the corner of my eyes (both sides). I suppose that's not very visually noticeable to other people but I can feel them/rub them out and it drives me nuts. >.>

^ well my 9900k is better than i7-9700, but not by oodles or anything. Confirms my thinking new gen of games will = my CPU is going to be a limiting factor right quick. I'm still confident I'd get BL4 to run at 45-60fps fake-4k/DLSS Performance Med/Low or something, but would I want to. Probably not. Forums are already full of angry performance-ranters, although as is often the case these days, some of that is re: ppl who want a lot more than 60fps. I'd say Steam reviews are so far around 40+% negative. Anyway - they didn't go full separation hog on the DLC but they did break it up into two major packs (for ones that aren't cosmetic-only): --Vault Hunter Pack: 2 future new main story areas, 2 new Vault Hunters, other misc $50 (US $) --Bounty Pack: 4 future "unique areas" (could just be a battle arena or small side quest/mini mission or something of that nature, not described), 4 new vehicles, other misc $40 <---personally I'd skip this one --Base game: $70 So $160 separately (or $130 for 'super deluxe' edition). Maybe in 4-5 years it'll have a "gold-like" bundle for 50% off. That seems about what it's worth. And I might have a new PC by then. Maybe. Seriously - even for (some of) those of us with decent higher income factors, it all seems so not worth it anymore (outside of smaller scale/indies/old games etc). And even some "indie" games have serious performance issues re: older/less elite systems because engines or tech or lack of dev experience/skill.

people doesn't attack eachother over identity politic 20 year ago even the most fascist forum doesn't talk about or care about trans people doesn't need much defence when they are just ignored one side get to choose which scapegoat to attack

Trying to be macho is a theme with Trump appointees.

foundation are hilarious when they try not to do great man history so hard it come back again to be great ai man history again other than that pretty dull most of the time

I'm pretty sure he will be held up as a martyr for longer than a year. Also, the Valhalla thing is super weird. This guy is the director of the FBI? The reality is this was a mentally ill person, but instead of focusing resources on mental health, which has been in crisis for decades, people will just attack each other over identity politics.

For me the the irony, you know beyond Kirk thinking empathy is new age degeneracy, or his belief that shootings like his own are an acceptable consequence for the 2nd amendment, or that he was in the middle of blaming mass shootings on "the gangs" right as he was shot, is that only in death was he able to attain what he had spent his life chasing: widespread attention. And even that is going to be fleeting, Charlie Kirk won't be remembered at all within a year, he wasted his entire life being performativly vile only to leave behind a few "owning the libs" compilations as a legacy. A miserable end for a miserable man. Anyways if Charlie were still here he'd downplay the shooting and float a conspiracy. But **** that guy.

Don't quote me on this, but I think I read in the news on the Congressional hearings that the incident happened in the Red Sea, off Yemen, where we have had routine drone patrols for quite some time now. Well, actually, this is kinda' where I am too. The Drake Equation shows us that there have to be hundreds of planets out there with intelligent life, and I am quite sure of this myself. But at the same time, the vastness of the universe is such that even with hundreds, even thousands of planets holding intelligent life, the distances between those planets will very likely be so great as to make interstellar travel extremely challenging. But, I also think that even as alien beings may not be visiting us, it is much, much more possible, and likely, that alien robotic craft may be visitng us, i.e., UAPs.

It's foundation. You should all watch foundation. It's mostly good. After you have watched all 3 seasons you will get the reference, which is apt. APT I tell you.

Nah, if you browse 4chan for like 10 seconds, you'll see that this is what edgy right winger kids write like.

At least some humour. So they said he had "bella ciao" engraved on the casings, among some other stuff that seems less significant. So maybe he was some left winger.

Why would he be a radical left winger? So far all political assassination (attempts) in the last couple months have been done by radical right wingers. Statistics are not in favor of this.

Healthcare paid by taxes perhaps.

It's Bruce, could be believing in sick days.

I mean, it starts in Mosul during the day, but there are a lot of dark parts. Probably not as bad as the first one.

What is radical left ideology?

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c206zm81z4gt It looks like they could have the killer of Kirk Im going to guess about why he did it and of course I could be wrong because I gave 5-6 different ideological motives in a previous post He will be mentally unstable and influenced by radical left ideology and he believed Kirk was destroying\dividing the US with his debates and views and had to be stopped

I felt the same when I first played deadfire after many hundreds of hours in poe1. I wanted 6 characters, the same magic sytem. I disliked that everyone had magic like abillities... it made the more realistic fighters in poe1 seem like super heros along with everyone else. But, after many thousands of hours with deadfire I agree with @Boeroer, the deadfire sytem is much better than poe1 although the story and setting in poe1 were better. I also disliked the characters, how many there were and the strange names... i laughed when your character tells serafen that they can't cope with anymore names... that is exactly how I felt then too. Now though I would give anything for obsidian to re-release poe1 with the deadfire engine. It is now really difficult to go back to poe1.... the old graphics, interface and rules. I don't think you will get the mod you want, the engine and the way it plays can't be made to resemble poe1's

Clover Armor While wearing the full clover set, harvester ants will be passive until provoked, but you also need incense, which is a trinket that calms down nearby ants, and makes you deal double damage to ants, while using any weapon with ant parts if you’re hydrated. Though it also makes you slower when you’re not hungry to the point of reduced stamina. There’s a 2% chance to get it from a red ant(that’s not the soldier version). Also you can freely go through the queen’s room without starting the fight, though you have to be quiet to not arouse suspicion, and you can only go through during night while they sleep. Golden Harvester Ant A very fast ant that’s the size of a red soldier ant, and goes in groups of 7-8 that are escorted by a couple Red Harvester Ants so they can climb grass flowers for grass seeds(their favorite food irl too), and not get hurt. When killed they release a pheromone cloud that makes all other harvester ants go berserk, though agitated golden ants don’t release pheromones. Red Harvester Ant They protect the colony, going on escorts, and staying inside the colony deep within. Dealing the damage of a northern scorpion, though they’re a little faster, and just like in irl they can inflict venom with their stings. They’ll bite, and sting while at low health. Black Harvester Ant Mostly found at the entrance of the nest, they are defense heavy, and you can’t deal stun to them normally. To stun them you have to break their armor with a bratburst or the other throwables in it’s category(this means you can only stun them once). Also, while at lower than 20% health they’ll try exploding next to you, if you kill them while they’re trying to explode, you’ll get black powder (~10-12). Striped Harvester Ant They have a crimson colored body with fading black stripes/patterns, and deal the most damage of all the previous ants. They’re unable to be stunned normally like the Black Harvester Ant, and are slightly slower than the fast Golden Harvester Ant. They also sting you while lower than 25% health just like the red harvester ant, and are the largest too, found super deep within the nest. They can also have wings. Harvester Ant Queen(Boss) To get to the room all you have to do is win a game of Nine Men’s Morris, using ant based pieces. This Boss would throw lobs of venom, order ants to attack different players or allies, and attack viciously. They can leap onto the player to bite then dash backwards, swing their head, rally the ants to defend or attack, lob balls of "ant bread", that has a burning venom in order to splash it everywhere, and they can order more ants to come out of tunnels in the arena. And to prevent cheesing, the player would have building locked, with zones across the arena they have to go to in order to flick levers for disabling some tunnels for a short time, and making the queen take damage.

How to get the unique gear The unique shield and gun recipe are found in the queen’s room, you have to burn down a pile of ant bread to go through a trapdoor. After going through it you’ll find the exit in a maze, and grab the unique shield from skeletons, with the recipe and an optical disk as well(not mission related). The optical disk gives many things like proximity mines, and a Gun Station to build. The Gun Station is used to build the auto stinger 2.0 using 10 striped harvester stingers, 12 crude rope, 2 razor mandibles, 1 striped head, 20 sap, 5 Harvester Queen eggs, 5 silk rope, and 4 plated abdomens. To build the Gun Station you need 5 black powder, 10 sap, 5 silk rope, 2 bombardier parts, 2 stinkbug parts, 8 grass planks, and 10 web fiber. To get the Harvester Queen eggs, you need to get them around the queen’s arena after attacking them with a smash attack to shatter their shells, and they stack to conserve space. Sorry for any improper grammar, and/or confusions! Also, Please tell me anything that feels unbalanced, Thank You!

Dev advice: Don't go fully-on Nanite+Lumen if it doesn't hugely benefit your project. E.g. a comic book-style game that has been "nailed" with technology a couple years ago already. Placing a tenner that if you'd ask 100 people on the streets which is the more recent game in between Borderlands 3 and 4, the hit ratio would be pretty mixed. Unless it's 100 tech enthusiasts, maybe. ALSO: Dishonored (UE3) still remains a more beautiful game than any Borderlands anyway. EVERY FRAME A PAINTING. Sue me, Pitchford!

Last Judge was incredibly easy compared to Moorwing. Took me less attempts to beat her than trying to get to the boss, lol. Yesterday I've also unlocked the double jump. One thing that kinda pisses me off in act 2 is that... you basically do Path of Pain. But then you are not done, no. Next area you do Path of Pain again. But that's not all! In the next area... guess what, Path of Pain! I'm at a point now where generic mobs don't really bother me much anymore, but instead the environment is just one "sawblade" after another. Anyways. Steam says I'm playing for 40 hours now. It's getting to a point where I will probably take a break due to exhaustion. Based on experience, I can do maybe another 20 hours (so this weekend ) but then it's enough for a year or two. Maybe it's best to take a break anyways, and wait for the inevitable free dlc updates. Despite how cool this game is, I'm not sure if I would have the strength to ever replay it once I'm done with it.

I never watched more than 1 ep of Terminal List, because that show was so damn dark, couldn't see anything. Did they change that in the new one or is it still like that? Also that reminds me, I haven't finished the latest season of Bosch yet either, because for some reason they decided to make sunny LA look like dark Mexico as well... this sucks so much.

So we're clear, I'm on Steam and having the same issue and several people report having the same issue. The "it's gamepass" thing is a red herring.
