just kicked off borderlands 3 over the weekend (it was a freebie on epic a while back).

i can see where they were trying to take the series, but i think they need a "back-to-basics" moment; there were a few decisions that really detract from the ability to be immersed.

(ux)the skill tree system has changed in a way that makes upgrading confusing to the point that i dont even use my special ability (it spawns a mech)

(ui)there are multiple advertisements for DLC that are always on your minimap and block your view of POIs - they look like questgivers

(bug)sometimes fast travel works and sometimes it doesnt (and sometimes it does but doesnt let you travel unless you close and reopen the map)

these 3 issues make it really difficult to enjoy a gaming session without being reminded that i need to spend more money so this convoluted system wont be fixed.

3 days in and i give it a meh 5/10; it seems like the budget was too big.

mayhe im in the minority here, but i bought an EV to not have this...

like when an escalator breaks; its just stairs now.

i regularly attempt to shop at the manufacturer's website. i will do a search for a product type, get blasted with only positive reviews for shitty products, find a product whose brand isnt similar to UFVEGDKFNDBDHDJ, and find their website to purchase.

north america:

safer means removing all public transut, all bike lanes, and all sidewalks. if there are no pedestrians, its safer

my "okay, so..." beginning are usually trying to break my specialty into human-understandable language and prep an analogy. aint nobody but my nerdboi peers care about the dinglehooper flooting the yoonerbix .001ms faster than the yumdumtrum.

"its like a bicycle with 7 wheels, but only three wheels work at once." is easier to explain.

as an untrained swine, i would refer to truck as strafe & the directions an airplane can go would be referred to pitch/roll/yaw...

skull first, circle second, triangle third

 

it has been difficult for me to find reliable or consistent information on things like e-bikes, e-scooters, and other forms of personal transport, mostly due to the market being flooded by fly-by-night companies.

is there a good resource that any of you use, especially for reviews of well-respected brands?
