    As a person that didn’t really enjoy the borderlands games, I had no idea this was happening and this is easily the oddest thing if read all week. Before I read the article I was confused but interested. Now I’m informed, confused, and interested. But hey, I’m glad they were able to do this with a game. I’m an average science enjoyer so I’m always glad to see good news.

      As a bug fan of borderlands, I honestly wish they made a mobile spin off for the minigame that they’re using for this. I love playing the game they made for it, I love that it’s doing actual stuff, I just have a limited amount of time to sit down and play games at my pc and when I boot borderlands I wanna play borderlands.

      It was quite neat how they did it. In Borderlands 3, your home base is a spaceship. That contains crew to talk to, people who give you missions, things to upgrade, etc. They also put an arcade machine in it that let you play this minigame.

      A character even explains that it’s for science, but that you can try it out or ignore it if you want. It has no impact on the actual game. Basically, it was something to do if you weren’t gearing up for a mission and just wanted to hang out on the ship.

      It really was a perfect way to implement it. Hence the article.
