I have played the absolute shit out of BL2. Best of the bunch by far. On a BL3 bender currently.

I think that was the best as well. I’m hesitant to start up the pre sequel again because I was about 90% through the game when my laptop took a crap and died. I wasn’t able to recover the data.

I still haven’t bought BL3 yet. How is it compared to the others?

3 is stronger than the Pre-Sequel definitely as well as 1, IMO. I haven't spent too much time at max level/max difficulty yet, but it feels somewhat more forgiving than 2 and reasonably replayable so far. Pre-Sequel never really kept me engaged enough to max out a single character (which sucks because I like the playable characters, but the story was meh). Whereas in 2, I have a full set of max characters (which requires about 3 full story playthroughs each and a ton of farming runs in DLCS, etc.... for gear).

3 also seems more casually accessible as the loot is tuned way up from 2 so it's way less grindy. I'm working on my 2nd max character in BL3 and haven't had the need to farm for any gear because I'm drowning in legendaries as it is. Levelling itself seems a bit quicker. Helps that there's little daily/weekly challenges you can complete for a little XP boost. Might be season pass related, I waited to buy BL3 until I could get all of it rather than the drip-feed I went through with 2. That and I waited the year for it be on steam rather than epic.

For reference, my playtime hours are as follows.
BL1 - 130hrs
Presequel - 252hrs
BL3 - 328hrs
BL2 - 2,704hrs

Primarily with my GF and other friends. We'd hang out and play Borderlands. I have a ton of characters named after who I was playing them with to keep them straight.

Bro, I hope they’re paying you to play those games. That is an insane amount of time on BL2.

Just think of the entertainment hour/dollar ratio... Not really a tv watcher. And for a good chunk of that, the Wings weren't worth following either...

Solid. I would recommend these additions when feasible

Super Mario odyssey
Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Super smash brothers ultimate

YMMV with these below, many love but I can see not being your cup of tea

Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Super Mario Party
Animal Crossing
Super Mario Maker 2

I can’t say nothin. I love the Disgaea series. The whole freaking series is just number porn. “You did 100 quadrillion damage! And your stats are all maxed at 2.5 billion”.


If we added up our time on Smash Brothers Melee and Burnout 2 at college, I’m sure we would have gotten close to that.

I loved the original fire emblem and was looking at that.
Super smash bros is gold and I’ll ruin your day with Marth. I have it on my wishlist.
I think animal crossing could be fun when I want to grow flowers and go fishing instead of zap bad guys with lasers or attack them with pikachu.

Doubtful on your Marth. I'm an OG Zelda main. Started in Melee because my best friend would only use Sheik and I had to one-up him.
 
Part of the "Played the everloving crap out of Borderlands 2" crew, probably close to 800 hours when I finally moved on.

Animal Crossing is a nice change, I got it as a gift and didn't expect to enjoy it, but it becomes a 10 to 30 minute a day check-in that's more fun than routine. Sometimes need a break from popping heads in games.

If anyone was a Squid Game fan, Alice in Borderland is similar and it's wild, couldn't help but to binge it. It's on Netflix also.

The new Witcher Blood Origin mini series was pretty awful, unfortunately. It was only a 4 episode thing, but nowhere near the same quality as the first season of Witcher.

I’m 3 episodes in and it’s very meh. But I think the problem is not enough plot development and how much it jumps around. It probably should have been another 4 episodes to help flesh it out.

Are Berggren and Soderblom getting rookie cards? I think I saw a Soderblom but wasn't sure it's real.
 
any parents here with diaper aged kids might want to avoid luvs diapers for a bit. They must have changed something about their production because some kids (like mine) are getting some very nasty reactions to wearing them. Nasty as in skin raw to the point of bleeding. We've switched to huggies and things are healing up.

As an aside Pampers is made by the same company that makes Luvs but I haven't found the same complaints against them.

What a pain in the ass.

I'm past that stage luckily. Although I now have a 4yo who doesn't eat (really not sure how she's still alive) and, no matter what time we get her to bed, pretty much doesn't go asleep until at least 10:30 and wakes up multiple times during the night.

We luckily were able to use Costco diapers with both our kids, not sure who makes them now that I think about it.

Sounds like my 6 year old, he’s the pickiest eater I’ve ever met. At least my 10 year old tries everything without an issue.

Yeah sounds like my nephew vs my daughter. He eats everything and anything you put in front of him, like he has no taste buds. My daughter eats like a bird that thinks everything is poisoned lol.
 
Anyone have any experience with/opinion of Fubo.tv? I used their free trial to watch some of the WJC at work this week, and it seems like they have a decent setup. It's not cheap, but it costs less than the DirectTV I have now (yes, I still have DirecTV, le sigh).

I thought about Fubo but went with Sling instead.
I’ve got sling blue+orange. I can get regular ESPN and TNT games on there, and Disney+ With the ESPN+ and Hulu package. Between them I can get most NHL games.
