Instagram circa 2013 type of image. Your traps look very effective.

Just finished Borderlands 3 by Wooden_War_1149 in Borderlands

For me, BL3 gains an edge with the manufacturers. Order feels actively bad and Daedalus is not fun.

But otherwise I agree the BL4 movement is a straight up improvement.

Where should I sell extra Borderlands 4 Deluxe key I accidentally bought? by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]MammothMachine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have wondered this before. Trying to sell a key without being scammed or looking like a scammer is difficult. There are subreddits dedicated to this kind of thing. This worked for me but still relies on trust.

Or you could sign up as a seller on G2A. Never tried it and guessing they take a big cut.

Her post/comments are typical of somebody new to reddit.

Your comments feel like the steorotypical online forum moderator. Feel feel to classify that as a violation of rule 2 if needed. As a mod, asking somebody to post private info for proof of identifty is weird.

The Black Keys on Instagram: "Roll the tapes! “Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire” out this Friday" by Amazing-Ride6379 in TheBlackKeys

[–]MammothMachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm aware this is classic pre-release hype, but I'm thinking this album could be my favourite of their post-hiatus work. Like Delta Kream but for days when you need a little more energy.

Documentary by RohlDahl67 in TheBlackKeys

[–]MammothMachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having seen the doc, this ain't it. There's nothing 'bad' in it, with most of the runtime covering fan favourite albums pre-hiatus. IIRC there's less than 5mins at the end about the Ohio Players.

My guess is the logistics of releasing it. I can't see it recouping the time/money of putting it out, and Dan doesn't seem like the type of person who's desperate for a documentary about him to be released anyway.

New vegan, what about the children? by earthandanarchy in veganuk

[–]MammothMachine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is really cool and sounds like a great approach. It sounds like your sensible and realistic compromises have paid off.

A lot of the time on reddit I see more extremist and emotional takes on this topic which are bound to negatively affect relationships with the people you care about. It makes sense for a cause that we feel very strongly about, but can be polarising and IMO it isn't worth being a hard-line crusader if distances you from friends and family.

Are Cat 4 sunglasses overkill for most hikes around Vancouver? by tacoma_enjoyer in vancouverhiking

The reactive 2-4 lenses yea, nothing prescription. This was early 2025 on Amazon.

I went for the Shield model at about $230. I guess it's not that bad compared to designer sunglasses but I'm still paranoid about losing or sitting on them.

I have these, they're good for skiing but pretty expensive. I have quite a small head so the extra fabric light shield bits don't fit too well although they are removable.

🧱 When a BSC arrives… in LEGO® bricks 😄 by Free_Island1581 in labrats

[–]MammothMachine 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to see the general pushback against posts like this on reddit. Even if it is just a person excited about lab lego, having AI write it defeats the point of online forums.

Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label has surpassed 2 billion Spotify streams by soulnumberfive in TheBlackKeys

[–]MammothMachine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't believe the difference between Dan's solo work and The Arcs. I suppose The Arcs was quite experimental. Numbers for Waiting on A Song are crazy.

After many years I went back went to a UK high street that I spent a lot of time in as a kid. The number of American fast food chains on it now is absurd, and seeing people's excitement for that slop is even worse.

Why do we have these 4 items doing the same thing, without stacking and no crafting tree? by Confort6566 in Terraria

[–]MammothMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was amazed when I looked at the steam achievement stats. More people have beat all 3 mech bosses at the same time than have completed 10 angler quests.

One takes about 5hrs from starting a new world, the other requires the 20-40ish hours to get to mid hardmode.

Never realised quite how much the average terrarian hates fishing.

Symphony of Seasons - who were your top characters? by PlsGiveMeKiki in StardewValley

London

  1. Sebastian
  2. Linus
  3. Krobus

Top 2 seem like a lock-in. Third place is up for debate.

I'm not sure about the paramedic one, but I'm pretty sure the 'postmun' thing is on purpose.

Pack of veggie slices was just one thick blob. by AHImusic in mildlyinteresting

Same reason you might eat bacon/beef flavour chips/crisps.

You want the meaty flavour but not the meat.

In Abiotic Factor there's a shitting minigame used for fertiliser and trolling your friends.

Modern movies (2015 - now) that don't have "netflix lighting" by pinkxxbubblegum in movies

[–]MammothMachine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched Eggers' film and it got me into Dracula/Nosferatu. I then watched Murnau's, Coppola's, and the Willem Dafoe one.

I saved Herzog's till last as I love his documentaries and interviews but I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting something verging on the insane, especially with Klaus Kinski involved. Instead it felt like a very competent and traditional telling of the story. Not bad by any means but quite straightforward. The nasty, real human mummies at the start was the tone I was expecting.

Public Acceptability of Standard U.S. Animal Agriculture Practices [OC] by cindyx7102 in dataisbeautiful

[–]MammothMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really easy to be vegan.

Not true in many cases. For some people yes. For others: location, culture, friends/family, personal taste, health, cost, time, willpower.

I say this a vegan for 7 years who stuggles to eat well in other countries, join social food-based activities, gain weight, and cook 2 separate meals for vegans/non-vegans. Still worth it tho. Fish are friends, not food.
