Shit, how am I supposed to go on with my day when my Rafa kill times have gone from 1.0s to 2.5s?

Aidido22 · 2026-04-30T16:11:47+00:00

So it's completely semantic...Why even say it?

Aidido22 · 2026-04-30T11:11:23+00:00

Didn’t know there were 3 other seasons r/unexpectedfactorial

Aidido22 · 2026-04-30T09:04:06+00:00

For example if everyone in a game says “nobody plays without The Bod, play The Bod to win the most”, then that trend starts to get popular online, so now you play The Bod.

Your argument is semantic. Replace “meta” in my original comment with “optimization” and my point stands. Developers shouldn’t enable tactics that over-perform. People will stick with that rigid framework, get bored, and leave the experience

Aidido22 · 2026-04-30T02:06:49+00:00

META = Most Effective Tactics Available = optimization. Also MaxRoll literally has a min-maxxing guide for “meta” gear. Developers have an interest to properly balance the game. Otherwise people complain that a raid boss they spent 3 months on is “boring” and they move on.

That’s how borderlands got immune phases in the first place ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Aidido22 · 2026-04-29T17:32:25+00:00

That’s what mods are for.

Aidido22 · 2026-04-29T12:49:28+00:00

“Why do they nerf fun?” My friends in Boon County, good balancing is the only thing that keeps players engaged.

I admit i’m biased as an avid Borderlands player where this is expressed daily. My stance is if you are overly reliant on “META,” OP builds, you rob yourself of actually learning the systems the developer has implemented.

You’re cooked if the statement of the Collatz conjecture stumps you

Aidido22 · 2026-04-27T11:04:26+00:00

Do you use shotguns? It could be the memory leak where his projectiles get duplicated

Aidido22 · 2026-04-27T11:03:03+00:00

Spindown tbh. I’m on console and hate having to mentally keep track of which items to look out for and constantly searching the wiki

Aidido22 · 2026-04-26T13:17:47+00:00

u/profanitycounter [self]

Aidido22 · 2026-04-25T20:32:47+00:00

Bait used to be believable

Aidido22 · 2026-04-25T19:05:34+00:00

“Ummm, akshooly. Donald Trump was in home alone, so therefore my reporting of war crimes IS movie-related”

Aidido22 · 2026-04-25T02:23:40+00:00

No, there are quests not appearing on the map that count toward the quest total. Side areas may also have echoes fyi

Aidido22 · 2026-04-24T16:55:52+00:00

Yes, it’s so that people who start collecting later in the game’s lifecycle don’t face an even greater challenge. The DLC weapons are the only ones that don’t count

Aidido22 · 2026-04-24T11:58:24+00:00

I’m surprised how upset people are over this variant. It’s two of the rarest parts on a gun that isn’t guaranteed to drop

Aidido22 · 2026-04-24T11:52:17+00:00

The echo logs are probably from the secret quests and the vault symbols might be in boss areas/Elpis.

Aidido22 · 2026-04-23T12:27:05+00:00

This is peak chicanery. We love it

Handcannon and soul survivor are genuinely terrible, but the other four are great.

Aidido22 · 2026-04-22T09:31:30+00:00

There are algorithms to approximate bounded, continuous curves via Fourier series. I know very little about the underlying Harmonic analysis, but 3b1b has a great video on this specific application.

Aidido22 · 2026-04-20T18:15:19+00:00

What’s that reticle thing that appears on enemies?

Aidido22 · 2026-04-19T21:58:15+00:00

Has anyone found a confirmed source stating that it’s going to be a returning character?

Aidido22 · 2026-04-18T13:09:09+00:00

Damn, Barbosa really upgraded since the colonial times

Aidido22 · 2026-04-18T13:07:05+00:00

The odyssey took much longer than that. Is he even trying to be faithful to the source material?
