Small update today, with more in the pipe.
🔨 We're rolling out an update to Borderlands 4 today that improves stability on PC, smooths out progression, and updates the Gilded Glory Pack loot and rewards for a more seamless experience.

Borderlands 4 is on the cover of the next Game Informer!!! Their first issue back and my first game. Pinch me. I’m dreaming! This is beyond cool.
We aren't quite ready to reveal the cover art of our first issue back, but we are excited to announce that Borderlands 4 will be the game gracing it! If you haven't already, there's still time to subscribe and receive our @Borderlands 4 issue, which launches digitally next week! Learn more here: gameinformer.com/2025/06/17/…

Thanks @FortniteGame for the big locker update! This is what I've wanted for two years now! 200 slots is a breath of fresh air! And new meta-Locker is great!

You played the Borderlands games. You love the Borderlands universe. Now, get ready for a new story featuring Fiona and Sasha! BORDERLANDS: DEBT OR ALIVE, a novel by @anthony_burch, launches March 2024. Published by @Titanbooks, in collaboration with @GearboxOfficial and @2K.
I have a new favorite @MARVELSNAP deck!
It's slightly better than average in strength, but I am stoked that I finally have enough Skottie Young art variants to build semi-viable decks!
Love all the @skottieyoung art in Snap! Elevates my whole experience.
So, I’m eating dinner and there’s this volcano behind me. I’m literally eating dinner watching Kilauea erupt. And yeah, those are stars. – at Hawaii, USA
Well played, click-bait.
"LEGENDARY ACTOR ON LIFE SUPPORT"
And the article, after clicking to read it:
"Latvian superstar, Mukab Marfterburk, known for his hit commercial in the late-80s...."
Well-played.
And condolences to Mukab Marfterburk. I'm sure you're a nice dude.
Interesting to see people ask who "the spy" is from #Themandalorian episode "The Spies."
I associated it to the Biblical story of the spies that were sent in to see if the promised land was habitable during the Exodus story. Which is pretty much what happened.
This was the first business card I ever had. Circa 1995. Fancy title for “Technical Writer”. What was yours? #firstbusinesscard
Tips for 2023:
* Like to like things. Better for your soul.
* Stop evaluating creative things as good or bad in public. Instead, try "I liked..." or "I didn't like...". Art is subjective and the discussion is healthier when we avoid making absolute statements about entertainment.
Hey, pop up ads that fill my phone screen? I don’t read you. Intentionally. Not at all. The only thing you’re doing for me is increasing the chances I don’t return to your site.
Hey @MARVELSNAP - great game, but your cosmetic prices are outrageous. Fortnite keeps even their premium 3d skins under $20. You $75 bundles - I wont ever buy those. Try $15 - $20 for that same pack.
