  • Borderlands 3, much to my shame.

    Why did I do this? I vaguely recall liking the previous games when I was a child. Do not follow the swamp lights of nostalgia my friends, it will drown you.

    Its humour is cringe and Reddit brained to an uncomfortable degree, but I’m actually kinda liking the gameplay.

    I’ve already played through with a gunner, and now I’m trying a melee siren build. Don’t know If I’ll have the patience to try out the other classes, though. The game’s starting to wear thin already, and the writing certainly isn’t keeping me invested.




  • Firstly, misogyny and homophobia don’t suddenly become okay when you direct it at shitty people.

    Secondly, they may not deserve any respect or kindness but using insults based on homophobia or misogyny isn’t showing disrespect to them (they’re never gonna read your fucking Lemmy comments), it’s making this site a less pleasant space for the types of people who are targeted by this kinda shit on a regular basis.

    And finally, it shows these aforementioned marginalised people you’re supposed to be an ally with that your allyship is worthless. You’ve decided homophobia is conditionally acceptable.

    As you said, these are terrible people you’re talking about, so why not attack them on that instead of vomiting out casual bigotry?
