I clicked it, so you don't have to:

After testing random people with various computer programs that asked them to rotate objects, they found that some people were able to complete the tasks with inverted or non inverted controls, despite the fact that they had claimed to prefer the opposite. The researchers claim that some people's brains are just wired to perform better one way or the other despite how they originally learned.

'Talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them'

Yeah, and I only allow peeing in one corner of the pool.

I don't think those are the kind of games we talk about here.

I'm surprised. I would have guessed that music would be one field that the suits wouldn't pay too much attention as long as it didn't sound like garbage at the end of the day.

Yeah, I'm a longtime Borderlands fan who follows what's going on with the franchise, and Randy just acts like a child who inherited a video game company. He usually says this dumb shit with a smile on his face, so I think he's intending it to be in good fun, but it just does not come across that way.

No, I do. I guess I just didn't get the joke.

Nah, that's just Devito.

Reminds you? That's exactly who they are.

I can see that.

I'm not far enough to have settled on an opinion on the open world yet. I did find it tedious in other BL games that I had to walk through the same areas in the same order over and over again to access the end game or start a new character.

That being said, I often don't know where to go or what to do in BL4. Thank Torgue they added the Echo objective finder, that's pretty much the only way I've been able to stay on track at all.

The new one feels like progress so far. I'm not very deep in, but the story and dialogue are not nearly as annoying as 3 was. The biggest difference has to be the movement. In previous games it often felt like you were trudging forward until you found an enemy and then running backwards so they didn't catch you before they die. Grappling hooks, double jumps, and gliding add a TON of movement and gives you those John Wick moments where you're bouncing around the area and blasting people from every direction.

Good assessment. I agree completely!

I'm not very far in, but so far I'm enjoying B4 more than TPS, and MUCH more than 3.

 

I've been invited to attend a Tim Walz rally tonight, and I have no idea what to expect. Share your stories and get me pumped up to see our next VP!

Update: Everybody was right, lots of standing and clapping, but what I really didn't expect was the sense of family I felt with all these strangers around me. We'd bump into each other, and laugh it off, one guy was telling me about how his son was thinking about going to the college that I work at (I was still wearing my shirt from work), and we all just knew that we were working together to make great things happen. I'll probably skip the next one, but it was a great experience. I'm glad I went, and would recommend going to one if you have a chance, and a candidate you believe in.
