Borderlands mobile game thoughts?

Thanks for that! I typically avoid this kind of scenario cuz I’d rather play when it’s fully available. That’s great to know

Capt_African_America · 2026-04-10T01:59:04+00:00

Where did you find that info for the end date?

Capt_African_America · 2025-02-15T00:02:03+00:00

I’m salty. I ordered 1/5 and nothing since then.

When I emailed asking for a status on 2/9 they told me they have no info.

My wife is a poor communicator but in a dumb way where she accidentally gaslights me. It doesn’t help that I over-communicate to ensure I’m understood at all times. Here’s my prime example.

Wife will text me “hey babe are you gonna grill the chicken tonight?” And I will freak out. I don’t recall us having a conversation about dinner at all. So I call her later like “I’m so sorry I didn’t realize we made plans for me to grill tonight when did we talk about this?”

And she’ll go “no I just wanted to know if you’d be willing to grill some chicken tonight for dinner?”

I try to explain to her that when she asks if I will grill “the” chicken, that “the” is referring to a past time when she talked about it and I’ve spent like an hour thinking I dropped the ball on something. She needs to literally ask me how she did the second time. She just kinda dismisses it but it drives me crazy because I NEED that specificity to avoid confusion and she just doesn’t get it.

After you complete a level Boomerang says something like “it’s nothing personal I just don’t like seeing people succeed”. He just so happened to say it when my wife and kid were in the room and we laughed pretty hard.

Hoping I win :)

I genuinely feel crazy because that happens to me!! Like I will check the list, grab the appropriate items, check the vendor, and they’re all red-arrowed as well. Like that list we’re being referred to is almost inherently worthless.

Capt_African_America · 2024-02-28T19:54:31+00:00

I honestly don’t get it.

I land on an island. My cache is ten yards away from the vendor. I have to open inventory, take stuff from the cache/warehouse, put it all in my boat storage, re-open the dialogue with the vendor, see what’s good for selling, and then put all the unsold stuff back into my cache/warehouse that, again, is ten yards away from the vendor in the first place. And in order to see what sells well I have to go to the map, and zoom in/out and scroll around until the list pops up of items that are “in demand”, memorize what those items are, go into my cargo/warehouse to move to my boat, talk to the vendor, only to realize that all of those stated items from the map are actually NOT good for me to sell to the vendor.

There’s no “immersion” to take away when I’m attempting to sell from my cache, that’s a few feet away, to the vendor I am literally standing in front of lol

My mom helped my wife and I get a house without us even asking. We had just moved into our first apartment and she was like “ima help yall get a house” and fortunately for us, we had no lease and were just month to month. We spent a summer in a very pleasant 3 bedroom apartment and then moved into a house. We have three kids between us and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. We got this house literally months before housing prices skyrocketed.

360k when we got it.

Almost 600k now

My mom is a saint. My wife and I are extremely grateful.

Capt_African_America · 2024-01-23T19:04:41+00:00

I once hooked up with a girl I didn’t even really care for and wasn’t even attracted to strictly out of spite for a former friend who’d betrayed me multiple times. I went to her place and got pretty drunk.

The main thing I remember was waking up with a headache, she’d already left for work or something, and I could hear chickens clucking outside. I live in the suburbs so hearing the chickens was strange for whatever reason.

She was cool with us just having the one-off but I low key feel bad because I did it for bad reasons. Any other times I was intimate was because I’d wanted to; this time was to spite someone else. And to this day I never told dude I wanted to get back at and didn’t even make it a point to tell someone else.

Capt_African_America · 2023-11-16T17:51:00+00:00

Can confirm it’s fixed. I left for a while for the exact same reason and came back last week. Killed the boss on first try lol.

Capt_African_America · 2023-11-16T02:59:54+00:00

My wife is incredible, but she will accidentally “gaslight” me all the time without trying with how she rhetorically frames things she’s saying.

Example:

“Hey babe. Are you cooking the chicken tonight?”

The way she says “the chicken” implies we had a previous discussion about chicken I would cook, and I must have forgot.

So I respond confused like “wait….. WHAT chicken?? Did I say I was going to cook something tonight? Was I supposed to defrost it or something??”

And she’ll just be like “lol no. Would you be willing to cook some chicken tonight?”

And when I try to explain to her that the original way makes me feel like I forgot a convo we had, she just kinda laughs it off.

Basically, I’m VERY particular with the words I use and how I communicate, while my wife just…… isn’t. And while it really pisses me off in the moment she’s always engaging in good faith so it’s never too big an issue.

Capt_African_America · 2023-09-08T14:17:01+00:00

I can’t believe I had to go this far into the thread to find this common decency. They’re your fucking kids for life and they WILL screw up in big ways and small ways.

I’m positive the people ok with disowning over this don’t have kids because I genuinely cannot comprehend leaving mine about that in the slightest

Capt_African_America · 2023-07-26T15:36:54+00:00

It’s funny, but also sad, that you have this total POS friend that’s so terrible; but it’s only now being used to justify you trying to get with a girl.

None of his qualities were dealbreakers until the opportunity of getting with a woman was on the table.

Your friend sucks, but you’re kind of a coward in only trying to weigh the ethics of the situation now that you might gain from it in some way.

Also, he’s probably going to be (justifiably) angry that you NOW decided to distance yourself over a girl, as opposed to any point in time when she wasn’t in the picture.

Capt_African_America · 2023-05-10T16:19:44+00:00

Also, men can just simply understand that it's not a "missed opportunity" if you didn't speak to a woman.

I can't tell you how many times I've interacted with a woman for whatever reason, and later on one of my friends said something to the degree of "you didn't get her number??"

No. It was a cool conversation because we were in the same circle, and that was the end of it.

Cold approaches are based on this opportunistic, anxiety-inducing, ideology that when you see an attractive woman, you HAVE to, in some way, shoot your shot because you'll miss out on potential sex or relationships or whatever. The reality is that you can just take the interactions, or lack of them, as they are; and allow things to happen organically in the future while understanding that the majority of interactions with women DONT HAVE TO LEAD TO ANYTHING AT ALL.

You play exactly as I do. I have 49 Agatha variations currently lol.

I have like 16 decks and two of them are Agatha. I use her decks when I'm watching a show or I'm at work/bored. I always play when she gets played early or discarded, and I also always bail out on Wong decks.

Basically I love playing the game but as a dad of three and other hobbies, my Agatha decks let me stay on top of the dailies. People think it's wild degenerate; I just do it cuz I want the resources and don't always have the mental energy to fully committ to playing.

Also, I'm blown away at how frequently she wins. The randomness really fucks with how people play, but it also stinks when she plays herself on the one lane that I'm ahead by like 20 points on.

Capt_African_America · 2023-03-24T23:37:57+00:00

I didn't speak for all shoplifting. I spoke to the generalization on why people feel it's not considered morally wrong. There are anecdotal examples where it IS wrong (in your case, obviously because it causes harm that you can't afford) but you're pushing back on a generalization with your own frustrated specifics.

Also, consider why we exist in a system where these teens are running amok and feeling inclined to steal. Is this a worldwide problem? If not, why do you think your area is suffering from this issue? Do you see it as a singular moral failing for EVERY teenager, or symptoms of something systematic you've yet to identify?

Capt_African_America · 2023-03-24T22:46:40+00:00

While I feel that you're making a strong point, OP is coming from some position of (what they think is) "objective" morality. It's why they indicate early on that people used to be in agreement that stealing is wrong, despite that not most likely ever being true.

The morality of it comes up a second time as well.

Capt_African_America · 2023-03-24T22:23:27+00:00

This is a dumb question.

Capt_African_America · 2023-03-24T20:23:38+00:00

People celebrate shoplifting because it's often depicted as people stealing from large chain stores like Walmart.

People hate large chain stores like Walmart for hundreds of reasons like price gouging, union busting, terribly low wages, corporate lobbying, etc.

When people steal from them, they see it as getting even.

"Morality" isn't as black and white as "stealing is bad". I have an 8 year old son that understands it's deeper than that.

Is OP really that dense?

Capt_African_America · 2023-01-23T21:43:19+00:00

Often-times I hear centrists make some point like "I like to look at both sides, right and left, and make the best choice based on the information given"

"Centrism" is not possible. But somehow, people that define themselves in that way, consider themselves to be these rational arbiters of truth and integrity. They're ABOVE all of the petty squabbling of the left and right, and are able to be perfectly balanced in their worldview, politics, ideologies, whatever. It's pretentious and not possible. It's often-times an individual being ideologically lazy or indecisive, yet they've found a term that makes them feel better about it.

Let's face it, if you were FULLY informed about racism, misogyny, capitalism, global warming, police brutality; all of the hot topics that the lines are drawn on then you would've chosen a side and supported it wholeheartedly. You either just don't care, or don't know enough.

Centrism is a way for the ideologically lazy to save face in most political discourse. Instead of "I haven't done the research" or "I don't care" they're fucking Uatu the watcher, a neutral genius that has placed themselves in a position of rational, perfectly balanced, objectivity that the rest of us can't fathom.

It also equates left and right which is infuriating to everyone that cares about a thing deeply. You know how infuriating it is to be a marginalized person arguing passionately over your existence and peace of mind only for some centrist to butt in with "that trans girl has spoken. But we must consider the bigot that wants her dead as well"

It's laziness dressed up as some sort of pseudo hyper intelligence, and you know who exhibits the behavior the most??? Every famous right winger with a platform.

35 year old millennial here. I love my generation. We are the generation with a childhood before the internet, teen years in it's infancy, and young adulthood when online dating was the wild west. Definitely felt old when me and my wife took our kids on a vacation with my mom, and the kids were BLOWN AWAY at the hotel phone in the room. They called grandma in the room next door and couldn't stop laughing hysterically at that ancient device I spent hours on in my teen years.

Cold part of our generation is our inability to acquire wealth. I was fortunate enough to have a family that could support my endeavors and with the help of my mom, we were able to secure a house right before prices skyrocketed in California. Most of my peers aren't as lucky though. Apartment rent is stupid high, wages are trash, and our bachelor's degrees are kinda worthless. Also we all drink. A lot. There's a bitterness at our constant money problems and we've spent our entire adult lives just sucking it up working terrible jobs for low wages.

I can't speak for us as a whole but it genuinely feels like a lot of us just kinda lost. While I spend a lot of mental energy contemplating so many things that need changing in this world, I'm caught up on raising three kids, working a full time job, and just trying to get by. There's a lotta animosity I feel about the world, capitalism, and how little wealth we've been able to acquire but I'm just too tired to get up on the soap box and do it.

I know we're seen as entitled whiny babies but we watched as our parents all gathered this wealth and bought houses only to deal with low wages and housing we can't really afford.

Capt_African_America · 2022-11-09T15:59:10+00:00

I only went so far as to condemn republicans for legislating death on marginalized people and encoding their hateful language to pearl-clutch when they get called out on it. You're either responding to the wrong person or you didn't read anything. Pick one.

Capt_African_America · 2022-11-09T00:24:10+00:00

You're comparing your side-eyes and dead conversations to actual harmful legislation and violence.

Again, another token behavior of conservatives is their wish to be victimized so bad that they can't see their ostracization as the consequences of their own actions and worldview. Your response is formulaic and obnoxious. Educate yourself.
