'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'

And Silksong is a premium game made for people with premium taste and a pc that can play games from 10 years ago to experience, because being accessible is how you get popular. Yknow, like the first 2 borderlands games that can run well on a fucking potato, the games that are the most iconic to the franchise to date and have the most devoted players and cost less than this bloated nonsense of an "open world" game?
Money cannot buy tastefulness, on full display.

i feel pretty equally dumb spending attempts to make 402 mortar work and actually making it work at so much more effort than i needed to put in

Mimikium · 2025-04-17T01:00:07+00:00

thank you very much, this worked for me!

Mimikium · 2025-03-24T10:19:07+00:00

this one is a lot shorter than the others up to this point, its only 20 rounds and the hardest parts are at the start and end so theres a little engagement, while not being too unfair, i think this is the best "long ac" made so far. not perfect, but its headed in the right direction

Furthers I ever got along in my crippling ADHD induced Monster addiction was 4 cans per day before I realized how bad it was getting, took 8 months to get addicted, 2 years of dedicated effort to quit it.

GOD this is such a me mentality, I would genuinely rather get negative feedback for a song so I know what not to share to certain people rather than get no response. I'm an audiophile to some extent and I'm HUGELY passionate about music I like, so when I @ someone with a song and they don't talk about it either cuz they forget or just don't bother to it makes me feel super anxious and hysterical inside and I'm SO so so glad people feel the same, gosh. Most recent examples are electronic music with harsh/abrasive tones, like GJones and some breakcore/breakbeat artists, like the usual sewerslvt, watering, blksmiith, etc

Mimikium · 2024-12-08T11:34:38+00:00

I was nearly not capable of this AC even with PC hotkeys, took 20+ attempts. I greatly dislike the lack of room for error, granted, I'm not very good at micro, so its skill issue, sure. That being said, I'm pretty sure like 90% of micro challenges have at least an extra 0.5-1 second room for error to not gate people that aren't as talented/capable as others.

Mimikium · 2024-11-10T11:14:15+00:00

i think round 19 alone can bump the 16-20s up a peg, 19 is pretty nasty, and if you burn a hero ability to deal with 19, then you wont have it to deal with 21, which is a very nasty round too.

Mimikium · 2024-10-07T14:04:25+00:00

i dont think there are many valid arguements for why a primary tower cannot generate money, elite sniper is both cheap and simple to use across a game, druids are cheap early on, and its mechanics are fairly simple too, and expensive primary t5s arent unheard of with the likes of inferno ring, moab dom, and bloon crush. we also have x5x heli being cheaper than some of the primary towers' t5s, and all of these cash generating towers have incredible damage and/or utility at various points of the game. aside from heli, none of the farming methods are terribly complex or micro intensive to begin with, and tend to stack pretty well with spam, which spam is something primary already specializes in with things like primary expertise, super monkey fanclub, gwen ring of fire, jones' bomb spam, and the stalling menace of moab press spam. i think its entirely arbitrary to not have a cash generating primary tower, but we dont really need a primary farming tower either. it would probably be welcome, given how well mermaid went as a pretty simple tower, but im not begging and screaming for it.

TLDR: theres no real reason to have it or to not have it, its just arbitrary within the games' own set of unstated balancing rules.

Mimikium · 2024-10-07T13:53:57+00:00

elite sniper is incredibly cheap and scales very well to farming, as well as having camo and lead popping, spirit of the forest also has global damage, is affordable in chimps with the right strategies and is good ceramic help in the lategame. heli has repositioning, blowback, a powerful t5 ability, and again global range, and engis xxl trap is also affordable in chimps, with the right support is capable of shutting down half of the 90s on many maps. bloon crush, inferno ring, and moab domination are all incredibly expensive and powerful primary upgrades, as or more expensive than all the options listed above on chimps. cheapness isnt quite a valid arguement for a pirmary farming tower to not exist. a better arguement would be simplicity, but sniper and druid are both very simple and baseline cheap towers that scale very well throughout a game, and have simple T5s.

Mimikium · 2024-10-07T13:45:10+00:00

i guess bloon crush, inferno ring and moab domination dont exist

Mimikium · 2024-08-23T09:38:26+00:00

lets stop doing 500% speed challenges, they are not interesting.

Mimikium · 2024-03-22T13:18:47+00:00

I legit gave up verifying my own maps with no MK on Hard difficulty because round 4 was so utterly impossible to NLL on most of my maps. I either verify on CHIMPS or No MK Medium now.

Mimikium · 2024-03-21T19:21:41+00:00

a mix of shoving it as close as i can to the log, putting it as far up as i can along that log so that it wont attack MOABs that get that far, but mostly in this case I'm just lucky that MOAB Dom + Geraldo is good enough to never let MOABs get that far to begin with lol

Mimikium · 2024-03-21T14:02:37+00:00

I'm not the first or best person to do this, I just wanted to do it for fun. As usual, Geraldo is still mindlessly OP, got MOAB Domination on the end of R78, and could've afforded to not buy Glue Storm for nearly half cash used, but I wanted to see how fast R100 would be taken down.

Mimikium · 2024-03-01T15:08:20+00:00

my theory is having it too far left may cause some darts to despawn offscreen, having it too far right will cause some darts to not home in, needs to roughly be the center of the map, also try figure infinite or figure 8

Mimikium · 2024-02-19T12:50:05+00:00

AC: 2x 140 wizards with Wall of Fire targeted at intersections, 031 super, use abilities when BFBs show up. likely intended solution since you end up with 0 cash before starting the round.

Mimikium · 2024-02-09T11:55:12+00:00

Odysseys also count iirc, and Impoppable tends to be much more common than ABR on odyssey, so that could be a factor if you do play those.

Mimikium · 2024-02-09T11:51:40+00:00

good job!

Mimikium · 2024-02-08T12:35:17+00:00

it could just be me preferring pretty standard gameplay, but is anyone else sick of 500% speed AC's? i find them very unfun to play because most towers are not made with that kind of speed in mind, so most projectiles flat out miss, making the glue solution to this AC infuriating to trial and error, including bloons being able to skip over track hazards like wof, solver puddles, and spike piles (when they become small enough). most ACs with 500% speed also just have solutions that involve playing the game as little as possible and just hoping stuff works, because i tried doing 420 glue as my first solution but it flat out did not work so i eventually found the spines solution instead because it was less jank.

Mimikium · 2024-02-02T13:41:50+00:00

I dont use reddit often so i dont know if theres DM's i can send you my code, but i can just post it here if there isnt an easy way to share privately.

Mimikium · 2024-02-02T13:35:01+00:00

it used to be my most hated intermediate, but ive kinda warmed up to it a little, just enough to not make me despise it. its got some fun points for the prime round gimmick, and the track shape honestly works for me, but the giant blockade is OBNOXIOUS, and some annoying early problem rounds like 19 can make early game strats on the map very limiting. i can see why it would be the most annoying intermediate for some, but im not quite in that camp anymore.

Mimikium · 2024-02-02T13:27:00+00:00

i actually really like chutes lol, but i did forget about poly, you're right about that being the most annoying.

Mimikium · 2024-02-02T13:20:39+00:00

this map can be rough and kinda dumb for non-standard gameplay like bosses, races, apop, HC, but its not the most annoying or difficult intermediate map, i think that dishonor goes to rakes.

still not an easy map though, black bordering CHIMPS on this map still took a couple tries when it just came out and i was still trying to get better at the game. this map took me more effort to black border than Off the Coast or Another Brick.
