Diablo 3's expansion was the best time for me. The whole endgame process of grinding bounties, rifts, greater rifts, and all the gear was really fun for me.

But with 4 having battle passes, I'm expecting the worst.

Clout is only happening if you have an audience. I doubt Facebook/Twitter will maximize their userbase with these options. We'll see what happens.

Ah, I never got into that side of D2. It was all about the experience of carving through a mass of bad guys like a demigod of my own creation. EverQuest was my outlet for the social experience.

So man made islands with carbon capture and hydrogen generation. Ships can fuel at the island and carbon capture can be run by hydrogen and then inject the carbon into the subsea rock bed. Amazing

A season only lasts a day to a week. Again, I played with my friends and I said "imo" which translates to in my opinion if you're unfamiliar. I brought up other ARPGs to draw a comparison of the same sub-category and experience I've had in the genre. Again, in my opinion, D3 is one of the weakest ARPGs with a lack of depth. It shouldn't be used as an example to base off of for another installment.

Btw, before we get to the typical counterargument of D3 sales, you have to look at the time it was released and comparative titles that were available. Additionally, it came off of the hugely popular D2 games, so there was pent-up want for the next installment.

Well social media isn't going away, if a paywall doesn't work, there really isn't a solution beyond everyone adapting.

Because copying what Elon Musk does with embattled Twitter is going to work so well for Facebook.

3 was like a roller coaster ride / arcade game not a sandbox.

What made 2 so great wasn’t the core story. It was the community of trading, dueling, pking, all the human interactions. You had a friend list in d2 and it mattered. Also d2 had duping which actually make gave the game an economy. It was such a unique thing to be a part of, valuing items in SOJ, wheeling dealing, running pindlebots, dropping a bunch of free gear for cool newbies. Also the true rpg side of it, building characters was actually a thing, skill points, attributes.

I would never have time to play 2 today as an adult. And frankly without botting I wouldn’t even consider something so grindy. But d2 had its time and it will never be relived again. I won’t chase that feeling with d4.

I somehow forgot about the microchipping.

There was just too much stupid to keep track of.

Maybe don’t spend 3 weeks of your life playing a game you dislike so much? Gameplay stale after a few days of playing yet you have 3 weeks worth of playtime, sounds a lot like a personal issue.

They're extracting more money from clout chasers.

That doesn't mean they're achieving anything.

Why do you think this

More gains can be made in the sea. As well as there being more sea surface area than land, the article says the concentration of carbon in the sea is 100 times greater. I agree though, let’s do both

People said Elon Musk was insane for doing this and now Meta is doing the exact same thing.

Remind me of Samsung making fun of apple then copying the same ideas.

Which model of 10 series?

Just to nitpick point 3; disregarding the helicopters and trucks, if the wood never biodegrades isn’t that permanent sequestration rather than just carbon neutral?

Yeah no one needs a 4090 to play minecraft.

I need a list of unplayable games because I’m doing fine with a cheap ass 10series card and can’t fathom what people are attempting to do that they can’t.

Because bill gates microchipped us through vaccines, or at least that’s what the above poster who has never heard of Occam’s razor would have us believe
