I guess it doesn't matter if I hit the paywall since the publication has baked its bias into the headline.

I’ve played cyberpunk enough to know not to get one of these.

I love D2, but I actually think D3 has a lot of customization, as you can swap up what kind skills you use any time, while in D2 you lock in to much larger degree. D3 is much more about the items though

Wait until the game releases and we get some solid reviews. Don't pre-order people. Just fucking wait. Go hiking or some shit while we wait for trustworthy reviews.

Yes it reaches an equilibrium with the atmosphere, same way a sodastream works

As does billionaires. With both them and AI we all just fucked.

I'm same with you on the other games. I don't have high hopes for D4 but if I get surprised then great.

Actually, I'd argue the other way with some other constants in mind. The game became wayyyy too easy and casual are RoS. You can get maxed out, fully geared with a character and hit 1000+ paragon in under a week no problem. The game just has felt super stale for years. There is no variation, it's just a simple cookie-cutter few builds to play and no others each season unless you want to be far behind

When do we boycott and help change the world. People need to see how hard Americans really have it.
Never mind the fact we have a piss poor education and healthcare system. Infrastructure that’s falling apart at the seems, tax dollars going to lobbyists, hungry children, etc.
1st world problems over here, you goobers taking a stand against microtransactions and frat boy culture. Fight that good fight.

Good thing reddit doesn't go around calling itself a "free speech absolutist" then

I am not exited. Yet. D2 is still the best Diablo.

Excerpts from the article:
“Founded in 2012, Synchron is part of the burgeoning brain-computer interface, or BCI, industry. A BCI is a system that deciphers brain signals and translates them into commands for external technologies. Perhaps the best-known name in the space is Neuralink, thanks to the high profile of founder Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter.”
“In August 2020, the Food and Drug Administration granted Synchron the Breakthrough Device designation, which is for medical devices that have the potential to provide improved treatment for debilitating or life-threatening conditions. The following year, Synchron became the first company to receive an Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA to conduct trials of a permanently implantable BCI in human patients.
Synchron is enrolling patients in an early feasibility trial, which aims to show that the technology is safe to put in humans. Six patients will be implanted with Synchron’s BCI during the study, and Chief Commercial Officer Kurt Haggstrom said the company is currently about halfway through.”
“While many competitors have to implant their BCIs through open-brain surgery, Synchron relies on a less invasive approach that builds on decades of existing endovascular techniques, the company said.
Synchron’s BCI is inserted through the blood vessels, which Oxley calls the “natural highways” into the brain. Synchron’s stent, called the Stentrode, is fitted with tiny sensors and is delivered to the large vein that sits next to the motor cortex. The Stentrode is connected to an antenna that sits under the skin in the chest and collects raw brain data that it sends out of the body to external devices.
Peter Yoo, senior director of neuroscience at Synchron, said since the device is not inserted directly into the brain tissue, the quality of the brain signal isn’t perfect. But the brain doesn’t like being touched by foreign objects, Yoo said, and the less invasive nature of the procedure makes it more accessible.”
“For patients with severe paralysis or degenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, Synchron’s technology can help them regain their ability to communicate with friends, family and the outside world, whether through typing, texting or even accessing social media.”
“In December 2021, Oxley handed over his Twitter account to a patient named Philip O’Keefe, who has ALS and struggles to move his hands. About 20 months earlier, O’Keefe was implanted with Synchron’s BCI.
“hello, world! Short tweet. Monumental progress,” O’Keefe tweeted on Oxley’s page, using the BCI.”

Nope. I’ve got over 1000 hours on d3 and probably double that back in the day on d2 when I was actually a teen and had plenty of free time.
Not wasting my money on this shit company anymore. they don’t deserve $$ imo. And I honestly don’t care much for the genre anymore; it’s literally gonna be the same shit I’ve played for ages. Spin around a map and blow up demons. Cool.

I am a physician. Just the likely order of replacement of us. Much of good medical decision making is already algorithmic, just with humans not AI yet. Surgical robots are quite advanced in their movement capabilities, its only a matter of time before an AI can replace the decision making aspect of operating

I hate you, I want you gone, I want your legacy removed and all memories erased. The only thing I want left of you is the knowledge of what happens when a company abandons the enjoyment aspect of games.

Are 3D printers not at a point where they can just print most of these parts?
