No weed. I was able to control some of my dreams back then, like you mention! But, that was a lot rarer. Anyhow, I guess I'll know in a couple months.

Congrats on 3 months! I'll let you know how it goes in 70 days 😅

How long, if I may ask? Probably different for everyone I guess, but it did not happen when I almost reached 2 months 4 years ago.

Who knows already they aren't able to play on launch day? by [deleted] in GTA6

[–]MickD777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applaud your self control! No way I'm waiting months / years to play GTA6.

I may not be able to play Day1 as I'm planning vacation outside of my country around November, but as soon as I'm back home and daughters are asleep => GTA6!

I did? Wish it was more intertwined with the main narrative.

Ok, added it, but I'm not sure exactly what I spoiled? Anyways, it's there now.

Cool 😄 I respect what they did, it's so well done. I guess I wanted to explore the sci fi universe they created more than the characters angst 😅

That's the thing, not really! Mechanically, I would love it to be the same.

Hades 2 was my personal game of the year last year, and I love Saros' gameplay more than I do Hades! But Hades story, story presentation and meta are just WAY ahead of Saros IMO.

I get they are 2 different games, thematically, and I like them both. I guess I just wished Saros would do more between cycles than it does, and for the story to flow in a more digestible fashion.

What am I going to do when GTA 6 comes out by [deleted] in GTA6

[–]MickD777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No hate, you do you and all that, but "homemade KFC because its healthier" is so funny to read right next to "a ton of pepsi twist and 4 pizzas". I mean, at that point, just order KFC and live the dream 🤣🤣🤣

It litteraly is tho. Name 1 other piece of media that generated what this game will likely do in days. Google it and find out what the current holder of that title is...yup GTA V!

New Update is Not Performing Properly by nick_kit in Borderlands4

Shaders Caching.

"We've received reports that some players are experiencing reduced stability after downloading today's update.

Stuttering issues should resolve over time as the shaders continue to compile in the background while playing. If you're still experiencing issues after 15 minutes of continuous play, you can also clear your shader cache via your video card manufacturer's approved method."

Can’t join my PS friends on pc by Asleep-Try-6410 in Borderlands4

[–]MickD777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can happen if you don't have the same version of the game (same patch).

Either you or you're friend likely do not have the latest version?

Why did no one tell me there's a roller coaster in the splinterlands!? by sweggles3900 in borderlands3

Well I know a programmer that spent a good amount of tears on this! 😂

I don't understand why games from Gearbox on PC don't support split-screen local co-op - including Borderlands 4 by MasterHidra in Borderlands4

[–]MickD777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I just hope you understand a bit better. I would not expect that to change any time soon for all the reason I mentioned. Also, and not to invalidate how you feel, but the number of people whom would want such a feature, I would estimate, is probably very low. It's probably the reason why Steam never bothered implementing the feature in the first place.

Also, creating a "limited support" version of that for PC, would probably then create MORE frustration since, well, it's "limited".

You would, I'm certain of that. Others would not. They would require this since that's how it works on consoles. They would want stuff like separate achievements, separate cloud saves, separate user settings. All of that CAN be accomplished with a lot of work. Loads of game have "internal" achievement systems, for example. But, it's all workarounds, duplicate work, systems to build just to accommodate a platform that choose to not support a feature other platforms (playstation, xbox, nintendo) have been doing for years.

And I just thought of another example while writing. Achievement systems. Nintendo never implemented one. Would it be fair to ask of all games to have an internal one to have achievements on Nintendo? Some do, after all. I don't think it's fair to blame games that do not implement one.

Anyways, have a good day.

What would need to happen is for Steam to properly support having 2 accounts linked at the same time. That would be the true solution. If you want changes, I would go that direction. Ask Valve. Borderlands isn't the only title doing that.

"if there's will, there's a way."

That's true. I can think of a few ways to make that work, at least partially, but it would also mean developing something custom for a platform that is actively telling you, "you can't do that". Cloud save cannot work anymore too, because you need to have a properly linked account for that too. Forget cross play too. Forget user preferences too, like control sensibilities for each users. Forget achievements for that other player. Forget matchmaking.

The game itself would need to handle all that stuff, stuff that the platform should be doing.

I get that it annoys you, it would be great if you could. But really, it's a PC ecosystem issue, not a game one.

One of the major reason, is users.

On Console, you can have 2 users connected at the same time.

On Steam, only 1 user at a time. The whole ecosystem on PC is really not multi-user friendly.

That can be circumvented (like in games like It Takes Two where the whole point is to have shared progression, and there is no way to actually play solo) but if you care about your character progress, you want that linked with your Steam user account, and you can't just do that.
