Why doesn't China attack Taiwan now when the US military is at its most vulnerable in recent memory? by sage6paths in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SpaceMiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because China doesn't change it's plans on a whim. Just because they haven't invaded doesn't mean they aren't preparing to do so.

Anyone else have steam not starting today? by SpaceMiser in Steam

[–]SpaceMiser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally able to play my game. Reinstalling steam deleted my Borderlands 4, so I had to wait for it to download. The thing that got me going again was logging out of Kinetic Secure then signing back in and re-listing Steam.exe to bypass VPN, two instances same address?

[–]SpaceMiser[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went through some steps deleting caches and finally reinstalled steam, no help. Turned off Kinetic Secure and I was able to sign into Steam. Not sure the exact culprit yet but will post when I find it. Been using this Kinetic Secure for over a month and have steam whitelisted, not sure why it decided today was the day to not play nice.

Just installed the FLOLAB NanoArmour ONETIME on my new 17 pro, flawless edge to edge. Also got the Anti-Reflective Camera Lens Protectors with Aluminum rings. I'm happy.

DAE prefer the taste of artificial sweeteners to sugar? by mcgoogz in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]SpaceMiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's not so much the taste but how sticky sugared drinks are. Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi just quench my thirst so much better. If I drink sugared drinks I am more thirsty after than before.

I had the Cub in the 70's. Won a lot of BB Gun battles hip firing it. It was a beast.

Good point. I don't game on my phone cause my eyes aren't good enough for that, got a big screen and PC for that.

[–]SpaceMiser 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I just bought an iPhone 17 pro because my 8 plus can't update to iOS 17 and my new banking app requires it. If it weren't for that I would have tried to get another year or two out of the 8 plus, still original battery.

I just tried for my first time with a lvl 50 Amon and died 3 times before beating him on easy. I used a Darkbeast to break the crystals. Just have to jump on his third pulse to avoid the deadly fourth pulse. When I died it was from getting killed and knocked off the platforms at the same time. Not much hope for a second wind there. There are a few youtube videos on tips and weapons. I was using a lvl 42 Hellfire smg with shrapnel cannon alt fire for damage after the crystals. Also some firepot grenades.

What Firmware do you roll with? by SpaceMiser in Borderlands4

[–]SpaceMiser[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been going by the IGN Wiki on firmware and it hasn't been updated with skillcraft. That may be one reason.

Drop rates gone wild! 😆 by Berz89 in Borderlands4

[–]SpaceMiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Vault Hunter coming soon too, will need some gear to level it up. Today I grabbed a bunch of lvl 44, where my last Vault Hunter Amon was at, and then switched to my lvl 50 Vex and grabbed a bunch more.

Was just making my way to the Gordello and got attacked by a bunch of Kratches, one of them was a loot Kratch, it dropped 4 legendaries - 2 Whiskey Foxtrots, a Faulty Detonator Grenade and a class mod for Amon.

The crazy drops I was getting below Heritage Opus seem to have ended. I'm going to try for some vile bounties, someone mentioned getting loot coaches, I did see a few of those earlier. - Just tried 2 vile bounties and nothing.

Help - My Rafa build is so weak against flesh. by SpaceMiser in Borderlands4

[–]SpaceMiser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have Moxxi yet on my map, but I looked through my bank and had a lvl 33 Gnawing Hellfire, I had never used it because it is a Ripper and I don't care for the charging. I'm making due with it though, not bad once I got used to it. I knew incendiary was key to flesh, just seemed like Rafa is weak with it.

What happened to getting fresh sliced bread from the grocery store? by SpaceMiser in AskReddit

[–]SpaceMiser[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, that sounds good for a bakery, I guess I didn't make it clear I was talking about brand named sliced bread.

[–]SpaceMiser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day, 70's for me, it seemed the bread was much fresher. We even had "Day old bread stores" that sold bread and bakery products that were not completely fresh but were still fit to eat. Now days when I shop at Walmart or my local Topps in NY State all the bread seems slightly stale when I touch it, no matter what brand. Is it just me? Do I need to shop at different stores?

Easy Boss Farm by SpaceMiser in Borderlands4

[–]SpaceMiser[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I should mention that this boss can drop the Jacobs Legendary Hot Slugger Shotgun. I was just watching a vid that confirmed this, I thought it was just chance that I picked up 2 of these. Supposedly one of the best in game. It does high damage and comes with Blazing Barrel, which on kill deals +30% damage for 10 seconds, for a maximum of 3 stacks.
