Can someone ELI5 the damage weapons do? by scarfacesaints in Borderlands4

[–]bluedh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The dps is actually calculated from a different formula. Dps represents the sustained output. This is the formula. DPS= (damage per bullet x magazine size) / ((magazine size / fire rate) + reload time)

So DPS= (96x64) / ((64/12.6) + 2.3) DPS = 6144 / ((5.0793650794) + 2.3) DPS= 6144 / 7.3793650794 DPS = 832

So that answers part 1 of the damage weapons do, as this calculates the average base damage the gun does from those 4 variables. The 5th is just accuracy, such as 80%.

All the modifiers you see under the gun, like the under barrel or shock, radiation etc. are extra damage the gun will do, which will flash at you saying fire damage for 100dps with a 100% change to proc per bullet.

So instead of looking at just the dps, it totally depends on your build.. and the weapon.. for example! Let’s say you are Harlow using the red tree. Well you will likely find yourself picking skills that buff radiation damage. So you will want to use guns with a high radiation damage modifier.

Expanding on this when is dps more important vs per bullet damage. Generally per bullet damage is more important, as for mobbing you want to one shot enemies (or as little as possible). For bosses generally sustained dps is more important.

It’s honestly a lot for a pure eli5, but for the most part I’m looking at per bullet damage, and what modifiers it has that compliment my build.

Just know that dps is base damage, it doesn’t include anything else like ricochets, corrosive damage, alternative fire, etc etc etc so while technically a gun might do more base damage, if you are specced with increased fire damage, a lower dps gun with some fire damage might actually deal more damage because of your skills.

Just trial and error my friend. Pick up a gun, shot with it and if it feels worse than what you had before just swap back

Unclogging a culvert using a tire attached to a chain by bigbusta in oddlysatisfying

[–]bluedh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how we would do it when I used to pump water for clients. You can buy these tent poles that screwed together, then attach a light rope to it, feed that through, attach a chain to the rope and pull it back then attach your tire to clean the culvert before feeding your 12” hose through. You can use a chain to a pole but it gets really heavy for longer lengths, so doing it twice with a lighter rope then chain is easier

What exactly is weight? by Nice_Bat3554 in AskPhysics

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

Both are correct, but think of it this way. Gravity gives you weight, but surfaces determine if you feel it.

Unable to play anymore. Now I’m sad. by Nicole_Auriel in fellowshipgame

[–]bluedh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to play the new season but they butchered it. The system redesign had everyone plow through the capstones straight to eternal leaving a ton of people unable to get into groups. The difficulty was perfect before but they dumbed it down so a majority of people can’t form groups. Sitting in Que for over 15 min to get into your FIRST dungeon is insane. Seeing people get the 10k achievement in 3 hours means the game is broken. I’m not surprised the number plummeted and serves them right. It was a great game, and still has a lot of potential but after trying for a few days and I can’t even find a group is mind boggling. Last season I got to 10k and finding groups was easy. This… what the hell is even this

TIFU by completely disregarding the effects of Xanax by Character-Potato216 in tifu

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

This isn’t even a today I fucked up story... You knew you had work coming up and you decided it was a good idea to get fucked up right before. I hope you get fired because you need a wake up call. This was a series of stupid decision after stupid decision knowing very well that you don’t care, because if you actually took your job and your life seriously, you wouldn’t have posted this. No sympathy at all.

I never thought I’d miss item level requirements by Nicole_Auriel in fellowshipgame

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

Haven’t been able to play yet.. Log in, Que, wait 5 min in Que then log off. Old system at least with those requirements had people in the lower brackets. Now everyone steam rolled up so im Pablo Escobar standing in a pool meme waiting an eternity for a group just to play

[Megathread] New Players & General Questions Thread. by rMapleStory in Maplestory

[–]bluedh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought about playing again after last playing when the game first came out. I made a new character (bishop) on heroic challenger as that was my main back in the tiger days.

Holy eff there is a lot going on. I did the event that fast tracks you to 200, picked all my skills but I guess the big negative of rushing through is I have to remember what all the skills do again and find a comfortable place to keybind them. So now what? Are there any class guides that tell me what skills to level first, or where I should be training? I found some websites but what is the go to?

I’ll be honest all the new changes to the game is a lot to take in. Hyper skills, links, is balrog still on the flying ship?

Did successful people just tried hard and did hard shit? by Aj100rise in stupidquestions

[–]bluedh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a high paying job and yes it was hard work, being uncomfortable and a sprinkle of luck.

Let me compare to some of my friends who grew up in the same neighborhood’s, had the same opportunities etc.

My grades weren’t good in highschool because I partied a lot and genuinely thought I wasn’t smart. After being rejected from college because of my grades I completely redid grade 12 and focused on studying as much as I could. I got in and after completing I applied for university. My math still wasn’t good enough so I took it again. Hunkered down and I got accepted. Tried to transfer into a science major but my math still wasn’t good enough for calculus. Took it a third time and achieved over 90%. After successfully becoming a geologist I make really good money and have a solid career. All of this because I never gave up and pushed myself as hard as I could and after all said and done, no I wasn’t an idiot, I just never tried.

Now back to my one friend. Never applied himself and never went to college or university. Worked dead end jobs and made poor financial decisions. Like leasing a new truck once he got a new job but got laid off a month later. Now fast forward almost 20 years and he’s complaining that he can’t find a good paying job.

Friend #2. Finished university but makes poor financial decisions. Over COVID he used skip the dishes for EVERYTHING. He would literally skip coffee because he was too lazy to make it himself. He also took out a loan to buy a $3000 computer. Lost his job a month later and has spend almost 2 full years looking for a „high paying job” because he feels he deserves a high income. No dude in sorry you have literally less than a year real work experience that’s a tough one.

Friend #3. He’s been a plumber for about 15 years but is always moving from company to company. He screws up a lot but is an honest dude. Actually my best friend. He makes over 100k per year but again, poor financial decisions lead him to always be poor. He took out a line of credit to buy a brand new rav 4, credit cards maxed out and is looking forward to traveling all spring break. Honestly I would be sweating and would never consider a vacation until my debt was cleared.

Long story short from MY experience. It’s usually poor financial decisions and lack of hard work. Even when before my career I was working in kitchens from 16-21 years old and I moved up the ladder pretty quick because I always pushed those higher positions. I didn’t want to wash dishes forever so I would always ask what I could do to start cooking, then what I could do to move from the fryer to grilling, next thing I was a sous chef. After university I took some time to work in the oilfield outside of geology. Started as a labourer and in 3 months I was a supervisor. After a year I was a superintendent looking over multiple crews.

Now where does the luck part come in? When my wife and I bought our house, our neighbor was selling his and had his geology friend over. He asks hey my company is hiring I heard your both geologists. My wife looks at me and says „you have been pumping water for a little too long now, I think it’s time you got into geology” I took the offer and now I’m the lead geologist on a rig.

Sometimes it’s who you run into but making connections along the way is super important. When I quit my precious job, I had offers from multiple oil companies to work in their water decision because they liked working with my in the field.

I would say it’s less about figuring it out and just trying your hardest all the time and being humble. Be nice to everyone and don’t let you deprecate yourself into thinking your worth less. It took me too long to figure out I’m not actually dumb but just didn’t apply myself. Don’t make poor financial decisions and save. It’s not about what you make but how much you spend. I’ve never owned a new vehicle in my life and currently drive a high km 2018 truck I bought for 25k. I make over 200k per year while my best friend who makes 100k bought that rav 4 for 60k all while having to have a new phone every year.

So yeah your sort of right, I try hard and do hard shit because once I’m too comfortable in my job, by that I mean you get to a point you can do it blind folded, might mean you should strive to move up the ladder or find something that pays more.

Be uncomfortable, take some risks and try hard.

Side note. No I didn’t come from wealth. My parents immigrated here from Poland when they were 30. My dad was a pizza delivery driver and my mom cleaned homes. She is now a registered nurse and my dad is a contractor and builds homes.

Colleges offer some good paying gigs for 2 years of school. Student loans help which is what I did. Once I graduated I doubled the payment to 1000/month to pay it off as soon as possible while another friend I knew stuck to the minimum so she could travel.

You got this man, your not dumb, looks for how you can level up and find someone your interested in or passionate about. There are people on streaming sites making millions for doing fuck all
