    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Analysis: True. The loot change, the new Helltides, and the 1-100 leveling compression is so good I am just starting to bump up against some of the stuff I didn't like so much (Paragon boards, still some rough edges in the UI, have to pick up items to compare, etc.) I haven't had a chance to...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Loot and leveling are 100% better. There has been serious effort that's gone into making the game way more player friendly. All of the bullshit affixes are gone, You can level all the way to 100 in just helltides, mob density is so much better. At least Kyovashad is better laid out, leveling...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I was going to do a Necro this time, I played one in the beta but have done Rogue and Barb since. Seems they nerfed the heck out of the Barb but I did love my HotA Barb in the first season before I dropped this. Let's see how it goes.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I haven't watched it; waiting on the 4k that just shipped but I don't think I am going to have the unadulterated praise that so many seem to have if they make it such that Paul is "in on the missionaria protectiva con" and using the Fremen rather truly being immersed in their culture and...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    eh, I have the same kind of multi-gig/2.5Gb Fiber connection with AT&T, who have the same $50 uncapped charge unless you use another of their services (TV/Cell/etc) I paid more for an ISDN link in 97 and those dollars were worth way more. What was that? 2 Bearer/B Channels and 1 D Channel that...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    I didn't play much Pyre, either; it was the first time the game itself wasn't much fun comparatively. I thought the narrative and music were well done but the moment to moment gameplay just didn't land for me. I played a lot of Hades but I just don't/haven't ever figured out the healing/not...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    Supergiant didn't "get" woke, though, they have always been Left-Coast California San Francisco forever. "That tiger didn't go crazy" as the comedian said, "that tiger went tiger." If making one character dark skinned is the extent of the politics in this game, I would say fuck it and just...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    They aren't going away from Night City, they are just moving on to the sequel, Cyberpunk 2077 Orion. I suspect that many of the plans originally intended for CP2077 will be implemented in that, minus the awkward need to support PS4. Although by then, Launch PS5 will be "last gen"/long in the...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I restarted this on PC after playing the original at launch on PS5 all the way through to the end and stopping. I had originally bought it on every platform but ended up playing it on PS5. My PS5 save was right before waiting with Johnny for the 5 or 10 min of silence to go alone into Arasaka...

    Everquest II

    I wonder if I could get my characters back from 2004-2005/6? Edit: Yep, all still there, with names changed/letters added through what I assume are due to server consolidation, although I am pretty sure no other people chose those names. Logged in as my 50 Berzerker and immediately...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    Supergiant has always been San Fran as fuck, and even when they were/are making great games that bled through a bit. It was always overlookable but always present. I could never get very far into Hades, It just never clicked for me. I guess I just suck at roguelikes, because while the game was...

    SWTOR

    I need to go back and finish some of those class quests. It's a great game. Fuck what Bioware has become, though, thankfully they gave it to someone who won't woke it death, IIRC.

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    How it started: How its going: Edit: Reportedly Ashley is at EA Motive at present, so that Dead Space remake is another one to not pre-order. "...She is currently a Senior Writer at EA Motive....She is an advocate for representation in games and believes games are for everyone." Unless...
