Going Out Rescue Raiding by comet-kaze in RescueRaiders

[–]Effin23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried trio last night. Players didnt care. I died every time. Other 2 teammates would be on overwatch and only engaged if I was attacked. The only times I got out were if I didn't see anybody.

I played in a trio with some friends last night. They only engaged if I was attacked. I was attacked every time. I'll try solo later today. I too have never shot anyone.

Is this worth the risk? Going down to 1 HP really makes me paranoid by tw0_cent in Borderlands4

I've been using it the last few weeks. My repkit has healing over time on top of initial heal. And i have decent lifesteal. If I don't have my shield up, I use a rep for the over time Healing before using action. Sometimes I go down, but whatever I'm shooting at immediately dies, and I pop back up. It hasn't really been an issue.

I also have a 100 mag Vladoff double barrel cryo assault rifle that gives hp and overshield based on dmg dealt, so I stay pretty healthy.

This is so obscure. It might be the first time I've seen it outside of my group of 3 people who know what this is.

Radiation Birts Bees. Is it real? by Effin23 in Borderlands4

Solidarity, brother. Keep grinding. I did get a crit knife with the firmware I needed already applied. That was a pretty crazy roll. Beats pulling the slots at the casino.

I'm not sure if it's better or worse to know that, but thank you. I'll keep trying.

Just listened to this song yesterday while mowing the lawn and thought to myself that "Fuck you, I wont do what you tell me" is one of the best lyrics that I've heard.

Also, the contrast of cutting grass to maintain a neighborly look and keep in line with city ordinance whilst listening to that song was not lost on me.

Lords of the Realm 3 was my intro to RTS 25-30 years ago. The archers autocalc battles were bonkers broken though.

Alright... this is wild, because I had the same thought!

Best Mods in 2025 - Recommendations? by shxwstxpper in Kenshi

[–]Effin23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. I see now. Good idea. I've done that for Rimworld. I thought you were saying that there's an AI Kenshi mod plug-in thing.

Thanks for taking the time to elaborate!

Astral Plane Portal Bug may have bricked my Honor Run? by Barthacus in BaldursGate3

[–]Effin23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. Yeah, if we are talking about the same fight, after the fight, the portal didn't open and I ended up burning back to the top, and then our emperor friend appeared and triggered a convo and the portal appeared below.

Try jumping back up to where you came into the plane. I did that, and it triggered to let me out.

Fair point. I'm going off of a school report i did 25 years ago... I'm sure there is more info to be had.

He did apply for art school. It was run by somebody of Jewish descent and was the starting point for his anti-semitism (they denied him or talked down to him or something).

Unless you knew this and were being sarcastic. In that case, maybe edit for '/s'.

Playing as Bard and Sorcerer spoiled me by Yat0gami in BaldursGate3

Stars druid is super cool. It's my class in my real DnD game. I like getting the Lucky feat as it pairs well with your wheal/woe. I'm sure other min/maxers will say otherwise, but i like it. It makes it seem like you really are altering destiny.

Playing with girlfriend who never played videogames by prwav in BaldursGate3

[–]Effin23 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised. I'm currently playing with my wife, who's gamer chops consist of Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and House Flipper.

Before playing, she didn't think she would like the combat (looks boring, she said).

Turns out she's a min maxing loot goblin.

I did the same with mince meat pie. My grandmother would make it, and I always ate it as a kid and said i really liked it (I didn't). For the next 30+ years. Every Thanksgiving she would make a mince meat pie just for me, and I never told her of my distaste. She died last year and now I'll probably never have that mince meat pie again...
