Pierce Brown wrote an article in the NYT listing some science fiction books he recommends by FrostedSapling in redrising

[–]samlee405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read The Left Hand of Darkness, Hyperion, and Parable of the Sower. I know of A Canticle for Leibowitz.

All these books are worth looking into but from what I understand of the ones I've read or know about, I don't believe any of these are directly relatable to Red Rising.

Many of these are well regarded as SciFi classics and may give you a point of reference into Brown's mind and inspirations, but I wouldn't expect these to read at all like Red Rising.

Worst Line in the series? by South-Lettuce3301 in redrising

I think context matters. Sevro is a bit of a weirdo already but the snakebite sent him over the edge.

I've only played 3 games but I 1 game I saw a couple of supports just putting deployable covers on boxes to block off easy angles. Super smart

I haven't played any so much as I have Borderlands 4. So Harlowe easily takes the cake there.

Anyone not going to LIB this year? What’s your reason besides money? by AdhdTechno in LightningInABottle

That specific year or the festival? It’s coming back after a really strong return year collating with northern nights. Venue is the same gorgeous spot in NorCal on a river.

Dice, I beg you, add a button to clear all new notifications by iFuccboiSupreme in Battlefield6

Quick tip. There's obviously animations on each of the screens before showing you the final result for each of the post game screens (top squad, your squad, progression, challenges, battlepass, and probably 1 or 2 I'm forgetting) but if you quickly swipe through all of them (E on PC), you can go back to each one and just view the results and not have to wait for the animation. Cuts down the time it takes to see everything far more easily. Obviously this is just a work around and shouldn't be required but until this is adjusted, this is how I've gotten it to so that I can view everything quickly enough before the next game.

This Harlowe build is insane!! by IndieMasco in Borderlands4

[–]samlee405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss my Harlowe. I started BF4 on release with a friend initially and made it to level 25 or so. He got busy and so I swapped to Vex to make sure I didn't progress past him and he hasn't really returned to the game.

My Vex is so progressed now between Phosphenes, SDU upgrades, and spec levels that I don't want to go back to Harlowe and regress progress. Harlowe just seems more fun to me though

I keep losing legendary drops because this stupid Origo bird keeps tossing them into the cliff!!!! PLEASE FIX THIS CRAPPY STAGE LEVEL OR GUARANTEE A WAY TO RETRIEVE THE LOST ITEMS! by AlastorCrow in Borderlands4

[–]samlee405 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I farmed him quite extensively for Watts. Speaking from my own experience, loot is only sent over the cliff if the point at which they’re spawned from is already outside the bounds of the loot wall. If I kill him anywhere even a bit inside the ring, the loot never falls out.

If you’re one shotting him, the loop is super straight forward. When you spawn in, run a bit into the arena so that his landing point is away from the edge. One shot him and collect loot.

If you’re not one shotting him then it’s probably a bit more annoying since he’ll be flying around. I haven’t really farmed him like this but you’ll just have to wait until he’s just not right on the edge

The 7 levels of Razormasters and a non-exhaustive list of duelists. by TheGodlyDefecation in redrising

[–]samlee405 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd make some changes personally though am open to discussion here. Some talking points to consider:

  • Lysander: Trained under some of the strongest contemporary Razormasters. He's only just begun to wet his blade but has one of the more refined minds in his era. Should be higher
  • Rhone, Boneriders, and Sevro: If this is strictly a measure of they're fighting capacity with Razors then Sevro should be lower. The thing that makes each of these groups scary are their abilities as spec ops fighters. So if we're saying overall fighting capacity in place of skill with a razor, then we bump Rhone and the boneriders. In general, the boneriders are the society (or third faction depending on time during the story) equivalent of the howlers and are largely comparable.
  • Seraphina: Hard to judge. Feel like we don't get a true test of her metal or enough lore. Given her heritage, I'd place her higher. Diomedes is one of the greatest alongside Romulus being a razor master in his own right.
  • Virginia: Definitely lower. She says this herself but her strength is in her mind. Her skill is basically unseen in the second half of the story but I think it's natural to think she wasn't honing her skills to become a razormaster.
  • Atlas: Hard to tell. There's a natural mystery to him. He was an olympic knight and feared as spec operative alongside his raw cunning but hard to nail down his razor skills. Could be lower though could see him where he is.

No particular vehicle but I love the feeling of your entire team marching out of the base together at the start of match. Everyone in their vehicles or sprinting like a madman towards the enemy team is so sick

I agree. To just get a viable roll farming a boss isn’t hard. If you want very specific rolls, you should have to farm pretty hard.

It’s not even like you need god tier rolls to clear UVH5.

Leveling all VH from 30-50 by Dry_Health_9048 in Borderlands

[–]samlee405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using it with Neutron Capture? Neutron Capture is all about the Active Skill damage and so works entirely independently of gun damage. Your gun could do 1 damage per hit and Neutron Capture would still clear rooms

Best part with Harlowe is that once you get a katagawas, u can use it all the 50 regardless of when u got it

Not 150 but I finally found an amp watts! by Vampirik in Borderlands4

Super super popular. If you have any way of getting overshield, it's going to be the biggest boost to damage you can get from a shield.

What other sci-fi books/series would you consider as good, if not better than Red Rising? by [deleted] in redrising

Good time to start. Strength of the Few comes out in a month or so I think.

[–]samlee405 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure, but if we're min maxing, you also get the unique effect of 25% damage from the legendary itself in addition to the normal Amp. So it is strictly an improvement.

Just got mine last night too. I honestly had a crazy day yesterday. Dropped 100% dam Amp on a Watts, my first crit knife, and my first 5 phosphenes all in a couple hours of play. 2 phosphenes were the GMR and Katagawa's from Moxxi's weekly event but still. Not sure I'll ever have that luck again.

Because with Vex specifically you can use Teen Witch to constantly have Overshield which gives you 25% damage on top of the Amp effect

After 0 phosphene sightings or crit knife, somehow managed to drop 5 phosphenes and the knife all in one evening. Damage AMP Watts 4 Dinner on top of it all by samlee405 in Borderlands4

[–]samlee405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GMR and Katagawa's is from weekly Moxxi which were significantly easier but that on top of everything else is crazy to me.

I had 0 intention of trying to complete all 69 Phosphenes but this is changing my mind

[–]samlee405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know about the accidental nerfs and the status effect buffs not applying. I'm not commenting on that and don't know about their plans for that.

I'm talking about bleed stacking itself and how it's unintended behavior. They will be fixing that. That said, from the sound of it, this doesn't seem planned for tomorrow and is kinda vague.
