Borderlands players - what is your opinion about the new movie trailer? in c/[email protected]

I feel like they just completely missed on this. They tried to capture the cel-shaded style of the games but everything looks low-budget as a result. Pandora is a backwater, if you’re going to do it live action everything needs to look like it’s been sandblasted and sun-bleached for a decade and repurposed at least twice. Everything just seems too clean.

The dialogue is bad. Can’t really blame the actors for that, but I also struggle with all of them in their roles except Jack Black (I actually don’t mind that casting).

Also, unless this is set between 1 and 2, I’m not sure how Krieg and Tiny Tina ended up on an adventure with Roland and Lilith.

Americans, mostly women, are becoming more liberal: Gallup in c/[email protected]

There’s been recent studies that show Millennials (my generation) aren’t getting more conservative as they get into middle age. And while I don’t think I’m getting much more conservative, if at all, part of me wonders if it’s more that the party of conservatives is just outpacing us in their mad dash to the right.

Like, I definitely have some further-left ideals and some more moderate-left ones, but damn if the conservatives aren’t going full auth-right faster than I can moderate my views to even see where they’re coming from.

Breaker normal or faulty? in c/[email protected]

Thanks. Thought as much, just wanted to be more certain.

Breaker normal or faulty? (i.imgur.com)
 

I’m in the process of refinishing my basement, and I’ve installed the breakers. My panel uses Square D QO breakers that have a window that shows red when the breaker is in the tripped position. Breakers are then reset by turning fully off and then on.

One of the new breakers shows just a tiny bit of red in the window when it’s in the “on” position. It doesn’t instantly trip when turned on. It does this even with the breaker removed from the panel. The breaker switch moves fully to both on and off positions.

Is this something to be concerned about?

Not the plan we ended up executing, but she definitely favors the direct approach.

Repair Cost Are Out of Control: $5,600 Bill for Some Tail Lamps?! in c/[email protected]

Aren’t those the taillights that tell you how loaded your truck is?

There’s tons of technology going into every part of a modern car. That’s why repair costs are going up.

This is what I get for trying (i.imgur.com)
 

Hey all, I wasn’t really a contributor over at r/dndmemes, but I was there at the end. Yikes. Anyway, here’s a small contribution to help this place grow.

Context (possible spoilers for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist):

Our party was trying to get information out of a locksmith about the installation locations of some extremely elaborate locks and generally not getting anywhere. Locksmith says something to the effect of making locks that “his type” (gestures to my Rogue) can’t get past.

I’m an introvert at a table with multiple extroverts that normally dominate the role play. I’m generally okay with it, but this is my moment and I’m taking it!

“Wanna bet?” I ask.

Locksmith looks at me.

“Bring me your best lock. If I can pick it, you tell us what we want to know. If I can’t, I’ll give you 10 gold”.

Challenge accepted! My Rogue has 20 DEX and proficiency in Thieves’ Tools, so I’m sitting at a comfy +8 to lockpicking challenges.

Natural. 1. FML.
