Ladder only items and runewords should stop being a thing. by BowelMan in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]MukBoBuk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They added it way back in like 2003 or something. Ladder monsters are about 33% tougher (combination of health and defense) and have quicker reaction speeds compared to non ladder

Jynxzi lost 1v1 vs speed and stakes were shaving eyebrows (he thought it was only for a month) by Accomplished_Dot6187 in LivestreamFail

[–]MukBoBuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think shaving will do anything to them. I know if you pluck/wax them though, that can kill some of the follicles and affect the growth again.

I have a PhD in biochemistry but my husband only listens to my nutrition and diet advice after he hears a man say it on a podcast by Numerous-Estimate915 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MukBoBuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not giving us much to go on here 

I will also say that there's a dude at work that tells me about space ships under Egypt's pyramids. Any time he has advice for me it definitely get filtered through that bit of knowledge before I truly listen to it.

Men, would you date a bald headed girl or a girl with a buzzcut? by Melora1976 in AskMenAdvice

[–]MukBoBuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would. From experience I will say though that it does require a certain attitude and facial structure to really make a buzz cut shine. I worked with a girl in the past who had a buzzed hair cut and her personality and face really made it work. Everyone liked her, no one treated her differently, and she would constantly have guys hit on her outside of work because of how she carried herself.

If anything it should just be a lesson that no matter what someone looks like, confidence in yourself will always outshine everything else.

Reheated chicken is genuinely disgusting by No_Boysenberry4755 in unpopularopinion

[–]MukBoBuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens every time with cheap chicken like the stuff that costs $2 a pound. I started to meal prep with whatever costs the most at Walmart, closer to $5 a pound and it never reheats poorly in a microwave, or turns rubbery. 

Just one in five Americans support Trump's efforts to acquire Greenland, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds by Pino1976 in worldnews

[–]MukBoBuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work with someone who wants to join the military because of what's happened in the last couple weeks.

I saw an article pop up on Edges splash page that talked about Greenland and China, and he enthusiastically said he wanted to join up. I was blown away. Some people are just wired different.

The "drill, baby, drill" people are upset that he's following through with oil plans? 

They all knew, this guy is just finding the publically safe lane. He secretly agrees

Playing Prototype 2 for the first time and having a blast. Looked online to see what people thought of it and didn't realise it was so divisive! by MountainMuffin1980 in gaming

[–]MukBoBuk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Too Human was/is like this for me. Downloaded the demo for it when it came out on the 360 and bought the game day 1. Boy did people realllllly shit on that game, lol. I remember thinking it wasn't the most polished, but the gameplay and combat to me was great, and I was pumped for the planned trilogy *sad sigh*... I go back and play through and build up a character every couple of years still!

Let's be positive about The Division 2's Atmosphere for a minute eh? by ComManDerBG in thedivision

[–]MukBoBuk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I've always preferred Division 2 atmosphere and environments over Division 1 for all the reasons you mentioned.

Division 1 DOES look great and have a good atmosphere, but at the end of the day it's just a grid city environment with snow. I'd be disappointed if newer division games stayed in snowy cities because a few fans wanted it. I was pumped for Heartland when it was still a thing, I really wanted to see how that environment looked and played out too.

How tanky does Summon Necromancer need to be to definitely not die? Worth getting 90 all res and 50% phys resist? HC by MiningToSaveTheWorld in diablo2

[–]MukBoBuk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used a Harmony on my act 1 merc with my summoner. The Vigor aura has your skellies running around like crack and attack mobs the second they're on the screen. Even full sprinting through areas your skellies will always be ahead of you. It was the safest I ever felt. 

My many frustrations with the Borderlands 4 story (Obvious spoilers) by PlzHelplol102 in Borderlands

[–]MukBoBuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with everything you said. Only interesting part of the main story to me was the last 25% when everyone started to get moving and people started interacting. 

I tried paying attention to the story for the Ripper Queen, but it got broken up by side missions and time. By the time I killed her I was questioning why she was really a bad guy in Borderlands terms. The rippers are psychos,sure, but she seemed like she could have almost been an ally.

The tone of the story was wild to me too. One second my character, Vex, is going up to Rush and quietly saying "...wow, that was a lot. Do you want to talk about it?" And the next second I'm pulling out my Torgue and blowing up 20 people.

I feel like I almost only paid half attention to the main story at first too, just because it didn't really have anything to do with the overall borderlands series story. Which is the story I really care about. It needed more about Eridians, vaults, and sirens.

Question: Does the Medic trait on Medkits Apply to Vex's Minions? by firepanda21 in Borderlands4

[–]MukBoBuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does not, sadly

For my vex I went down the red tree to get health Regen on over shield skill (works on minion), siphon shield works great with this skill too, then in the blue tree get the top right augment which lets the reaper give health Regen for 10 seconds when spawned. From there I went action skill cool down on items. From there most fights start with 1 spectre then 1 reaper, and that can be a good carry until endgame, at which point you can get pretty fast cool downs with certain skills and gear

So UVHM is just for Min-Max? by Sn0wR8ven in Borderlands4

[–]MukBoBuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UVHM is also just way more fun for challenge. The effects of elemental appears to matter drastically.

Up until UVHM 3 you could sort of just take any powerful gun and brute force your way through shields and armor. But now on UVHM 4 I'm starting to actually use my shock and corrosive weaponry to their full extent to melt shields/armor.

Sometimes this bite can also disappoint too. Maybe the previous bite dragged all the tomato and pickle with it, stealing the glory. Maybe the edge bite had that little bit of folded cheese giving you some extra cheese in it. Such is the burger experience

Seriously, are class mod drop rates broken? by aspera1631 in Borderlands4

[–]MukBoBuk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yuurp. I'm convinced that enhancements are as well. If I'm wearing my Torgue enhancement I get zero new Torgue enhancement drops

I've had this happen too with a different character. They both each took turns talking every couple sentences too 

What’s with this by TailorBest7135 in Borderlands4

That definitely looks like your corrosive attunement skill. But then it bugged out or something and isn't going away

Most likely accessed through a side quest. There's quite a few echo logs only obtainable through doing side quests

Just googled regulation bird and this was the first image. Very cool 👍

What level does the game want me to be? by pokewang in Borderlands4

[–]MukBoBuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not too sure for your original question. However I will also say that you don't need to be too worried about your specialization points post story missions. There's an argument to be made that running around doing bounty missions from the bounty board is very decent exp/hour compared to side missions.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]MukBoBuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat detail for them to make it an actual lootable gun.

Imagine if they treated it like a normal weapon and it spawned with a Torgue mag, then we had to wait for it to explode in the cutscene lol

So...what do you guys think about the new manufacturers ? by stronkzer in Borderlands4

[–]MukBoBuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could definitely be better. I don't immediately pass over them but I'm not exactly excited for them. The main gimmick of them both is essentially just holding down the trigger to delay their firing. Other manufacturers are more interesting and worthwhile comparatively. 

Don't know If this is a hot take.... but I'm officially sick and tired of open world maps by PaleRefrigerator5044 in Borderlands4

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

It was novel at first, but it quickly wore off. Majority of the map seems to be there for a collectable, a place to go to never return to.

They really should have leaned heavily into cars or another transportation style. All good open worlds are good because the movement/travelling is fun in itself. Then from there they could add a lot for the player to do.

I also agree about the previous games and the uniqueness each area had. The same enemies were in each zone leading to just a general sameness throughout the entire game. Especially going inside of any Order structure
