  • I pick up every call I’m aware of. Scammers, phishers, polls, and everything else. I love messing with people, and good luck with getting accurate poll results, I have a dice rolling app I use to answer the questions.

    It’s even on a schedule for me now. The ‘TV company’ scam calls around 5pm to try me out, polling places seem to be weekend exclusives, and rarely I’ll get a noonish jingle from some other random organization.

    About 40% of the scam calls automatically disconnect after 8 seconds, and the rest I get to play with.




  • I played the stock market game in grade school and noticed this one stock, BRKHA that was moving thousands of dollars daily (and was occasionally dipping into the hundreds). Considering the others would only move a fraction of a dollar daily it was a goal to get one share for the game. I did and ended up winning.

    I should have tried to pressure my parents into at least one share. By the time I was 18 it would have been worth 70k, and these days it’s up to… Nearly 700k per share.

    I would’ve likely sold it on my 18th birthday and been able to languish a bit longer than I did. All in all it wouldn’t have been worth doing.




  • I agree with the 2>1>3>TPS, however

    While there are many things to enjoy in borderlands 2, some of the design choices are so questionable to me.

    The splitting of backpack space with bank space and giving ‘a little more’ between the two felt horrible when compared to just having up to 72 backpack slots from the first game, which was compounded by the added slag element, enemies using the good strength/weakness body type from the armory of general Knox dlc from bl1, and horrible ammo economy for nearly all weapons.

    They removed the entire guardian series of legendary weapons and most forms of ammo regen from class mods, making it either mandatory to run multiple weapon types with no class supports (generally each character has 2 supported types), playing (with) salvador, or enjoying the shopping interface quite often. The extra ammo spending weapons really didn’t help this at all.

    Aside from a few other smaller picks, these generally made the gameplay less enjoyable than the first for me, but the story, enemies (especially bosses), and locations/lore were leagues better than the first. I’m split on the dlcs, but both games did have at least one great dlc.



  • Warframe is a good game. That being said, I’m completely done with playing it. I spent a lot of time and money on it. Took a couple year break and came back for several story quests and regretted it heavily. For all the good points, the negatives reaaaaalllly weigh on me far too heavily. For a game to have been around as long as warframe and still have common beta game issues, no set standards for doing their ingame bookkeeping, and the incessant content islands that each big update brings have worn on me unevenly to the point of any instance causing a bad taste.

    I can give examples if you care, but there’s a lot for people to love/hate about it.
