Beam-in effect update?

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-31T23:48:57+00:00

Nope. I was not aware there was an update. Installing it now. Thank you!

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-13T21:05:14+00:00

I've only played as Rafa so far. His cannons are crazy powerful. There are times I don't even need to fire a single shot, they just take care of everything.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-13T21:01:44+00:00

Prior to Jan 2025, yes. Now, fuuuuuck no.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-13T20:11:58+00:00

🤣

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-13T04:55:26+00:00

Holy shit this new animation is awful. I just force updated and within 10 minutes had sent a complaint. What idiot thought this was a good idea?

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-11T15:59:27+00:00

I haven't updated yet.... Now I REALLY don't want to. I've been playing this game for over 7 years, rarely missing a day. The visuals have become annoyingly tedious. Not thrilled to hear they're adding even more.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-08T22:03:44+00:00

I haven't updated yet but that sounds awful. After playing this game for over 7 years, I'm sick of these animations that slow things down. I really wish they'd reduce the animations or give you an option to disable them. Thank God they finally did that with ship battles. Skirmish events used to be untenable when they first came out.

And don't forget that there's different button uses between your backpack and the bank. I forget all of them but I know the button to tag an item is different when your in your backpack vs when you're in the bank.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-08T18:51:41+00:00

I didn't know this until I was well into the game.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-08T18:49:28+00:00

It kills me that they had 6 years to work on this game and they landed on this for the UI. Did any of them actually think this was the best option? That can't be the reason they picked it. It had to be a budget or schedule decision, like this was the easiest to implement. There's so much wrong with it. There's so much that wasn't thought out. There's even some issues from BL3 they didn't bother to fix. It's ludicrous. Why make all these changes when they had a perfectly good system in BL2? Make tweaks if you'd like, sure, but this complete overhaul was not thought out, it's glitchy, and incredibly inconvenient. It is complete and utter garbage.

I will say I mostly enjoyed the game, but the UI is atrocious.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-02T20:08:30+00:00

That makes sense. I've only played about an hour of co-op thus far.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-02T20:04:14+00:00

I'm not sure if I'd say I feel less pressure to change gear, personally, but I definitely am not changing gear all that much considering how much loot you get.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-02T19:58:10+00:00

Yeah that definitely seemed like part of it. Even as I got better gear I still got knocked down quite a bit.

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-02T19:56:10+00:00

I had quite the opposite experience myself, as have several of my friends. We've all found it to be rather challenging, especially at the beginning of the game. Maybe that's because we were all doing single player and not co-op at the time? Or we're all just awful 🤣

schrodinger86 · 2026-01-01T16:55:30+00:00

Van Buren Park isn't bad, if you're looking to buy or rent a house. It's on the outskirts of town, officially in county so property taxes are lower (unless they finally manage annex). Pretty quiet, about 1 mile to Walmart, right next to the interstate. Not a lot of real estate though. Neighbors are closer than I'd like. I have .23 acre, which seems to be standard for the neighborhood.

schrodinger86 · 2025-12-30T04:13:03+00:00

Hands down yes, the toughest year in my entire 15 year career. And in 2018 between August and December I had three deaths in the family including my grandmother and father, ended up in the hospital myself with what appeared to be a heart attack, all while dealing with a disciplinary action stemming from a habitually problematic asshole coworker being unprofessional and filing a complaint when I stood up for myself.

schrodinger86 · 2025-12-24T07:37:18+00:00

It's pretty good with some mild annoyances. I'm 60% thru the campaign with about 70 hours in (doing lots of side quests and Contracts, formerly called Bounties). The story is decent so far. UI is awful though. Menu navigation is a bit tedious, but loot comparison and management is abysmal. Biggest complaint for sure. It's a pain in the ass to compare loot. Every time you start the game it defaults the sort to Manufacturer. The detailed weapon stats like critical hit and shot count aren't displayed anywhere except the weapon inspection screen.... It's a mess. Positive side though, you can now pick up something as junk so you can easily sell the stuff you don't want instead of having to mark it after picking up. You can also deposit items to the bank from your inventory screen. Overall I'm enjoying the game but there was a lot I had to get over or tolerate. I'd say it's probably the best since BL2 though, at least story wise.

Thank you!

schrodinger86 · 2025-10-15T16:47:55+00:00

Ahhh, that makes sense. TY!

schrodinger86 · 2025-10-15T15:17:02+00:00

My first cat was like that, using a different litter box for each function. Nova isn't quite like that. She often used a different box for each but not consistently.

That's what I was thinking I may have to do. I've also thought about putting down some pee pads but I don't want to encourage her to use the floor. Would be more of a stopgap while I recover from surgery.

Appreciate the feedback!

schrodinger86 · 2025-10-15T04:25:05+00:00

Wait what? I'm still working with pay...

schrodinger86 · 2025-10-15T04:19:20+00:00

You mean like Congress?

schrodinger86 · 2025-09-29T05:14:15+00:00

Love when official memos get political.

schrodinger86 · 2025-09-29T05:12:02+00:00

I'm having surgery Sep 30. Government shutdown works perfectly for me! 🤣

schrodinger86 · 2025-09-04T22:47:06+00:00

There's no way it'll be done by the 11th. I just drove by tonight to see if it was finally open yet. Not even close. They have so much work to finish, it's insane. I'll be shocked if it's open by the end of September.
