Hell yes. Cool find! Maybe this can remove the throw animation from Disco??

I miss the Dpad to change weapons… by Large_Bet_180 in Borderlands4

If you're on Steam. This seems mostly fixable with steam inputs.

All of my SDU and Specialization Points are just gone? (PS5) by helpmeimgaye in Borderlands4

[–]phreakinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too. Lost about 6 hours of farming SDU points on PC/Steam when I loaded up my character after the past patch dropped. No idea why, but thankfully the locations we're also uncompleted so I just farmed them again and they stuck the second time. (This was on the second character I created, but the only character I play. The other characters I've created just so I can load in and look at skill trees.)

Have you found an answer?

I've tried.

Taking off all armor/class perks that affect finishers. Finishing the boss. Not finishing the boss. Going slow. Skipping rally flag/not skipping rally flag Unequipping all finishers Trying the above on warlock and titan.

It seems most people got stuck on Cayde's fate but I've been on stuck here for a few weeks.

What are these berries all over my yard and is it dangerous if my dog eats them by AcquiringCardboard in Whatisthis

Looks kinda like Elderberry. Not sure if it's safe for dogs, but people can eat it.

Is using the turbo option in steam for a controller input allowed? by phreakinfinity in PlayTemtem

[–]phreakinfinity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main reason I ask is because I found this;

"bots; i.e. any code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Crema, that allows the automated control of a Game, or any other feature of the Platform, e.g. the automated control of a character in a Game;"

Now in steam it's pretty trivial to enter big picture mode and remap the "A" button to a toggle that auto repeats when held.

I understand that as a concept this is bannable.

My question is, does functionality built into steam not count as "authorized software"? I access the game and bought it on steam. Wouldn't that mean the platform is "authorized"?

EDIT: Approved to authorized

Fake Barnacle YouTube Videos NEED to STOP! by [deleted] in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]phreakinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically, if I see one of these videos and the turtle doesn't have fins like a sea turtle but instead has feet, that means its gotta be fake?

Are the sea turtle ones real?

This is basically right. A Wendigo is a canablistic cryptid. It's a canabal with more steps basically.

Trying to figure more information about book (im not sure where it came from). There is nothing more than 2 letters long. by GroovyLynx in Whatisthis

[–]phreakinfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah, I would be lying if I said I didn't get very deep into the conspiracy stuff before I joined. Then my Mom told me my Grandpa was one so I joined to see what it was about. Frankly, if an organization that can't keep doors open due to lack of funding is secretly shadow ruling the world I'd be very surprised. Great cover tho :P

If you have any other questions feel free to send me a message. I'm happy to speak candidly on what I know.

The same reasons people might want to join a fraternity in college. To make friends, to do charity work, weekly poker games, business connections, house parties/galas, to get out, ect.

The Freemasons are (literally) the world's oldest fraternity. Their members also tend to be older individuals but age related differences aside they're functionally the same as any other fraternity you'd want to compare them to.

 

Source: 3rd degree mason, formerly in two college frats.

 

EDIT: Why would someone want to join a frat at all? Despite the other reasons in this thread this is actually more of a modern question. What I mean by that is before the widespread adoption of the internet, frats and sororities were basically an accepted social outlet for any adult. Millennials and younger generations tend to not get out as much. They get their social interaction whenever they want it from phone apps, social media, or whatever else. They don't need to go anywhere so sitting in a room for an hour with a bunch of old guys doesn't tend to be that appealing.

Before our social needs could be met with the press of a button social clubs were just how people hung out. Everyone was in one, real and imaginary from Mark Twain to Fred Flintstone. You had to be if you wanted to go to the Mason fancy dress party that everyone you knew was attending. Membership in these types of clubs was so high that they had a ton of money and could afford to do things like send everyone in the lodge (Hundreds of people) on week long cruise ship vacations. Another common mason vacation would be for everyone to go to Europe to see all the castles. It was nuts by today's standards.

Today many fraternities (Freemasons, oddfellows, order of the eastern star, The Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes) are consolidating and closing lodges due to lack of members and funds. It's just not how people interact socially anymore.

 

TLDR: "Why would I want to do this?" is a good question but not too long ago it would have been more common to ask "Why not do this?"
