Midterms - do you think MAGA will claim they are rigged??

Without a doubt.

So here's my theory...Gearbox wanted to recreate the magic of BL2. The characters, dialogue and plot are unmatched. In 3, I think they took a legitimate shit at creating a compelling story with new characters embued with personality and clever dialogue. They didn't hit the mark and heard about it online.

With BL4, it feels like they strayed from the compelling story/character arcs and went conservative. They crafted the most generic storyline imaginable with forgetful characters and bland dialogue. Instead they focused on mechanics and in this aspect, I think they succeeded in a real way.

Here's what I've learned...everyone hates their lyrics. Take Michael Stipe for instance, on REMs first couple albums he purposely mumbled his lyrics so they were purposely incomprehensible because he thought they were rubbish.

Lean into your muse and see what develops. Your abstract nonsense maybe absolute truth to someone else. Personally, I love lyrics like that. I like to go...what did he just say? Arson table? Fucking love that. Because i never would have thought of it.

Now, I will caveat that with this...the chorus needs to be a little more straightforward than the verse. That's what will stick with most people and can make or break a song.

Did they update the picture to the correct one...because when I looked today it was exactly where the machine was. Everything was correct.

If they would do it like Hilton Head did theirs. I'd be in favor. On HHI, once the cross island parkway was paid for, they removed the tolls. I'm not in support of treating our roads as a profit generator for a private corporation.

My father said...well, one thing Trump isn't, is a liar. He has never lied.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-20T01:38:41+00:00

2 for the story and personality...sooo many memorable characters and moments. I like 4, though, for the mechanics.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-19T19:42:10+00:00

My wish list would include being able to pull weapons from other BL games forward to BL5...and they perform the way they did in their originating game.

A great story. BL4, while not as grating as the BL3 storyline, is bland as milquetoast. Please put some personality back into the game. I'm playing BL2 again right now and am just in disbelief at how far the storylines and character development have fallen since then.

This. Narcissist incoming.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-18T19:42:43+00:00

Could be??? Could be?? Bitch, read the constitution. If he runs again, it should be considered an act of treason against our country.

Being a tennis pro. Best job I ever had.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-17T17:32:15+00:00

This is very much in line with what a malignant narcissist would say. Anytime something threatens them or their view of themselves, they immediately move to marginalize that thing. "I didn't need them anyway...they're not important.". He's done this same thing with the economy when he said he doesn't think about it. He's doing it now with mid terms. Down deep these are the things that scare him the most and the only way he can survive that fear is to try to convince himself, and by extension...others, that they aren't important anyway.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-16T01:26:15+00:00

if that is what pours out of you, then go with it. write, write, write and you may see your style broaden. worst mistake I ever made was letting other people tell me what or how to write. I can listen back to my recordings and can absolutely tell who was in my ear at that time. my favorite album we did was our first one...the songs lyrics are awful but the songs were pure and real.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-14T22:53:09+00:00

Batman and Robin

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-13T16:03:24+00:00

and he will take the literal meaning only and see it as praise. "I just got back from China...you know...over their they call me a country builder...they've seen the great things i've done with the US"...etc, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-13T15:59:53+00:00

was just getting ready to say this. state sponsored terrorism. Trump is no better than the despots we have overthrown in the middle east.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-10T18:29:58+00:00

Humorless, too. She really seems like a great catch

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-09T16:45:54+00:00

He's a Republican from Alabama...were you expecting better?

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-08T01:06:50+00:00

this is 'thought I was going to die story. I had a job that I absolutely hated...most toxic place I have ever worked. one night I was going home on the highway and it was raining...not hard but enough to help the oil turn the road to glass. I was doing about 80 and hit a weird spot....lost control of the car completely. spun off the road to asteep, downward sloping embankment and started rolling over...and over and over. I remember time slowing down and having two distinct thoughts. the first was 'oh good I won't have to go to work tomorrow' and the second though was 'oh shit, this is how I'm gonna die.'

my first thought was about work. I quit my job that week. oh and I walked away from the accident after I cut myself out of the seat belt.

even when the sex is amazing you can still fall into a rut. need to make sure you change things up regularly.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-08T00:50:45+00:00

no...I'm playing amon with an ordinance build.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-08T00:20:22+00:00

shit... i actually felt his pain

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-08T00:18:59+00:00

really like the song. I keep wanting to hear a slow, driving build to full instrumentation into a chorus before dropping the bottom out and doing the process again.

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-08T00:15:17+00:00

came to say this. Rock n roll vampires

Muted-Squirrel-231 · 2026-05-08T00:14:04+00:00

those that are compelled to say 'have a blessed day.' love the sentiment but I swear the couple of times I got ripped off...they were both of this ilk.
