It's a boring purchase with a terrible product name, but this thing is a shaving gamechanger:

Closing on my house tomorrow, and it needed a dryer (literally has no dryer,) and I figured might as well get a W+D set because I have no info on the current washer that's there other than "old,"* and I had a few days left to still take advantage of Labor Day savings: LG WM3770HVA washer and DLEX3570V dryer. From Costco, delivery and install included. Sicne I used my Costco CC, they also end up having a 4 year warranty.

I’ve been using Beard Lube for years, it’s good stuff but personally I still need to soften up the stubble with a shower first. Also that name is a bit confusing and I think has led to people using it as beard oil...

A scalding hot rag on your face/neck will also do the trick if you don't want to shower first. I much prefer to shave then shower. Also a cool rag on the same places afterwards will stop redness and irritation pretty well.

I also totally stopped irritation by giving up on the closest possible nanometer shave. I just use Mach 3 disposables and regular dove bar soap lathered up real nice. If I use Gillette mega close Mach 19 razors and crazy foamy whatever gel my face skin gets all lovely and breaks out.

Personally I don't think anyone should do their own beard any more than you should cut your own hair. Find a barber close to where you work and get the occasional $7 beard trim

Now someone go find custom Weber gas grill knobs that are machined from stainless steel or some poo poo like that (will probably be $200 for a set).

For what it's worth, the second game was a huge step up and I played the hell out of it, even recently dumped another 30-40 hours in prep for the 3rd. Aside from some jokes not aging well, it's still a drat fun time.

Enemies felt like massive bullet sponges, I never had enough ammo (and I'm pretty good at FPS games) and it felt like I was constantly backtracking. Am I missing a critical element or is it maybe just not for me?

If you're doing a standard play through (not any of the increased difficulty newgame+ stuff), I don't know why you'd be having that much of a problem with it. You can easily make the bullet sponge argument for True Vault Hunter Mode, which can be incredibly miserable if you're not utilizing a slag and swap playstyle. The base game is a lot like Diablo where as you level, you should be looking at replacing gear when you can while also making skill choices that work with your playstyle. I've played all the classes and each of them play very differently as well, so maybe try a different class. It also helps to obsessively open every container. There's a reason they use that neon green indicator on all containers, it catches your eye and you will train yourself to just go over and melee/open those things all the time. You should never run low on ammo if you keep that in mind.

Hmm, I was doing all that but only tried the girl with the robot summon (and all skills to make that robot a monster). Are you expected to redo the same missions a bunch or what? Felt like I was retreading ground over and over. Progress got super wonky when in co-op as well. I'm willing to say that it's all my fault. I just want to be sure I'm not being dumb about something and missing out on a fun time.

They’ve made some changes to the game which may make you enjoy it more than the previous game. The enemies are auto leveled, so killing enemies in the beginning areas will yield you good xp, and you wont have to run from high lvl enemies. The game will be on Redbox in a few days, so you can test drive it first if u are playing on a console.

I tried playing Borderlands GOTY edition in 2011 or something. Things were going ok and I did every single quest offered. When I got to the second boss I would just sit there and shoot him with my most powerful gun and his health didn't go down. I think I was meant to go back and grind until I leveled up more. That's poo poo since I already did every quest available at the time.

Inzombiac posted:Hmm, I was doing all that but only tried the girl with the robot summon (and all skills to make that robot a monster). It may just not be your (style of) game. Honestly, they're all pretty easy games right up until you hit Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, at which point it gets really loving hard. I've played 1, 2, Pre-Sequel, and now BL3 and I don't think I've ever had to grind (though the transition at level 50 from True Vault Hunter to Ultimate did require some farming for a decent Slag weapon) or replay missions (I don't think you even can replay missions). If you upgrade your gear every level or three, put your skill points into useful skills, and remember to use your grenades/ultimate it should really be a cakewalk solo or co-op with people around your level. Grouping with people above your level is indeed wonky though and I get how that would be frustrating. Like couldcareless said, they made improvements in BL3 to address that. There's a bit of backtracking in that there's a finite number of zones and you may get a few story missions and a half dozen side quests all in the same zone but that's not really backtracking IMO. H110Hawk posted:Can you report back if there are a bunch of unskippable/unplayable cutscenes. I would like to play this game but the multi-minute intro cutscene in BL2 made me scream. I don't know about a bunch but I can confirm that the fairly long opening cutscene in 3 that ends with you picking a character is unskippable  I don't really think of BL games as having tons of cut scenes though...every now and then in a story mission but it's not heavy on cutscenes like e.g. a Final Fantasy game by any means. But if you have zero tolerance for any unskippable cutscenes, BL3 will make you angry.Mu Zeta posted:I tried playing Borderlands GOTY edition in 2011 or something.

I think you must've been missing something or you were under geared, there's basically nothing that's a full-on bullet sponge until you hit Ultimate mode. There was probably a glowing spot on the boss you needed to hit to knock off armor or something in the environment you needed to shoot/interact with to make him vulnerable. I'm not saying they're perfect games by any means and not everyone has to like them. But for the most part, the first playthrough of every Borderlands game is pretty dang accessible and I'm honestly surprised that so many people ran into problems with the gameplay/difficulty.

I bought a used Nintendo Switch with a couple of games (Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario Bros U, Mario Party) to see if I can still get bothered about video gaming. If not, at least it's nice for having people over.

Gearbox loves doing that for some reason. Brothers in Arms 3 was like 10 minutes of cutscenes before they let you shoot mans.

For that definitely try out Ultimate Chicken Horse, it's basically multiplayer Mario Maker where each round you each place a piece or obstacle on the level then race through it, it's hilarious and as devious as you want it to be. Killer Queen is also coming out this month, a very popular 10 player arcade game (5v5).

H110Hawk posted:
Just to be clear, there aren't any unskippable cut scenes when you launch the game or load a save. But there is a ~3 minute one when you start a new save/create a new character and I assume that other in-game cutscenes will be unskippable. Honestly though, I can't think of any long cutscenes after the initial one in BL2 or Pre-Sequel. Usually you just get a quick camera zoom and title card to introduce a boss and then you're back into the action.

Cell phones? EDIT "Play locally with up to 4 players, or up to 8 players by connecting two Nintendo Switch systems." Extremely not cool
