I despise D3. I mean, it looks okay and plays ok but it is boring and trite and formulaic to a fault. It has no SOUL.

Couple of issues with the Remaster: (1) Dungeons are too fucking dark. Even at the highest brightness they are oppressively dark. On the original, the higher brightness settings made it more bearable, not in the remaster. (2) Dungeon textures are too reflective and shiny under higher lighting...

It's still a slog. Your perspective is askew. I don't think PoE is a slog, but ask people new to the game. For both games, expansions have made it a massive slog. In Grim Dawn I made it to the end of regular difficulty, through one expansion and part of way through another and ran out of...

THIS is the state of the Path of Exile in 2021? Don't disturb the delicate genius of the founder? Or get dogpiled by NOT disturbing the delicate genius? Jesus, I hate the state of us as a goddamn society. Just calmly and logically ask poignant questions that are pertinent and of interest to...

Maybe it is part of the experience, like the shitty low locked resolution. I always felt like D2 ran a little janky no matter how good the machine, apparently that was a feature not a bug.

Dammit, I did NOT know that. Reason to play closed beta now waning. Edit - Every time I start playing D2 I forget about the bottleneck that is Duriel. GD it. Yeah, esp early game as you and everyone said. I am just going to get gut rot from drinking all those blue potions instead. You...

Yes, it is coming back to me now.

Sometimes I would like to know if I died because of a million cuts or some big hit. Was it a bad luck cascade of crits, was it a shock followed by a big crit? Was it just me being stupid and missing my anti-freeze after opening a chest? It would be easier to min/max your defenses if you had...

Yup, It's Diablo II all right. Just spent 15 mins buzzing around the first zone and the opening cave. Looks sharp. Nothing special because they did not increase the resolution. Is that in homage to the original and you can switch back and forth between old and new graphics? Who wanted that...

Socializing is my favorite argument. Cut and paste message. Join team. Port to hideout. Wait for trade window. Inspect item. Trade. Whisper "Thanks!". Leave group. Port home. So socialization, much wow. To the point, I used to hate trading, but nowadays I just raise a couple of...

Ooh I will look at that.

For whatever reason, about 10-15% of the time I use a move skill I get rubber banding. That Bodyswap build would be unplayable for me, I would have no idea where I am most of the time. I play Texas servers from Canada, and it is not that great.

Can't we all remember when they killed some build we love? I recall the nerf to Ghost Pact or whatever the life to ES leech conversion is/was called, and the destruction of the Whispering Ice build as a leader. The poet's pen build with the exploding bodies and the teleporting - the game could...

Picture heading: Himmler teaching the other German school boys what they will do with boys who wear dresses when they grow up, circa 1909. Next picture not related.

I have to say, this is the first league in several years where I am taking a long AF time to kill low red map bosses, and even some tankier high yellow map bosses. I am still not gear min/maxxed yet, but I clear these maps likety-split, but still slog through the Division-level hp-sponge...

Really? I prefer Blade Fall/Blade Blast (Blade Vortex can eat a bag of dicks, what a horrible playstyle skill, I've done it three times and wanted to /wrist every time). I got Chieftain with this up to high 70s before I realized Ultimatum was done the next day, was thinking about restarting it...

I've said it before but I kickstarted this bitch from day 1. And I still can't get into it much. I played it to endgame a couple of months ago before a wipe but only dabbled in the final systems. I started again here a couple of weeks ago but only got like 2 hours in and just went back to...

That or they didn't want the extra work for coding in the powered down versions. I don't know, but the raucous cries of the Haves over the "welfare epics" was Legion at the time. Pun intended. IMO it was the single best thing Blizzard ever added to a maturing WoW, and its nerfing killed any...

When they added that Raid Pick Up grouping in WoW it was a revelation. You could join a bunch of fellow scrubs and do powered-down versions of dungeons and raids and get powered-down sets and weapons that actually looked cool and had decent stats and bonuses. Then the elitist super nerds...

When this thread falls out of the top 10 and below Chivalry 2 three weeks in to the new league, you know it fucking sucks dick.

This has to be some fever dream brought on by the recent loss of their only child or something. The hackneyed Limbo? I adore Rapace but I am not sitting through 100 mins of metaphor to find out what the tweeeest is in the end - I will just spoil it online.

Yeah, of course it can. Unicorn. Lightning in a bottle. Etcetera. I actually had this very movie poster flash in my head as I typed my original post. It is not usually done well. Especially now when women and Hollywood are simply trying TOO hard to make women into men. Edit - Kill Bill...

AS opposed to what.........99% of all the other threads? You looking for poetry or fine literature, head to your local library. Otherwise, batter your head against your desk until you are JUST about unconscious and start posting shit with the rest of us. Fucking Philistines.

Fuck this bitch right into the sun. Every single iota of press and attention she gets is too much. I hope this lying, manipulative bitch gets everything she deserves.

I dipped my pen in the company ink for a good 15 years, but over the last 10 I NOPED out of that big time and won't even tell a woman a harmless joke at work anymore. Times changed so hard I think we all got whiplash. Edit - I did not see Hosix's post, but you can see we used the same...

It's this: only super serious because female badass lead.

No. One. Wants. To. See. Any. More. Female. Action. Leads.

Also, anyone notice an increase in load times league over league? I increased my internet speed by more than an order of magnitude x 2 since the middle of last league, and I am seeing for the first time ever playing PoE load times where action happens before I finish loading. Basically the...

I just want to second or third or fourth or whatever the people who are bored with this league. Not exactly sure what it is, but I am leaning towards a combination of drop nerfs and power nerfs. My SST build is fine, it seems to be scaling well with gear and gem upgrades and on a 5L with only...

I put this on my Steam wishlist and just removed it because of movement complaints and the "controller" preference. I am over 50. I have owned several consoles and I CANNOT get used to playing twin stick. I want to, but I can't. In the same way I cannot play games on my phone - who the fuck...

Wasn't she also an enema freak or something else equally weird?

Ditto. Up to yellow maps I have probably had 10 drop. Weird how anecdotal are a lot of "drop chance" discussions. Been happening since Time Immemorial. Also anecdotally, I am still running a 4L chest on my main skill. I was just thinking how the clear speed scaling seems to be lagging a bit...

Sanders was the reason I started paying attention to the NFL and became a fan of the Falcons. He was sloppy but his speed was the reason he was so good at CB as well as kick returning. Every time he touched the ball he was a threat. And yet I don't think he is the GOAT. I am not sure who I...

RS proves he is a fucked up moron just like you and me, with shitty life problems and all the baggage you can carry and then some. He just has millions of dollars to fall back on when his life caves, unlike us normies.

To be fair, raw fusing drops have always been shit. Those and alchemy's are the two important currencies that have no reliable way to gather as raw drops. I managed enough Jewellers last league to get 1,200 fusings to 6L my weapon (I was too impatient to wait for 300 more, and Delve was being...

I loved Mason's stand up, he had some really funny bits. They play a lot of his clips on the local AM comedy radio channel. He was the Jewiest of Jews, but liked to make fun of it, which I respect deeply. Comedy is dying/dead, and that is a terrible shame and a symptom of how shitty Current...

I am at something like 20 hours in game just about to start Act 10. That is twice my normal 9-10 hour pace. Some of that was AFK due to just going off and doing something IRL because I was bored in town. But, yeah, initial engagement this league is sketchy. We've become spoiled with the fire...

In my late 20's I repeatedly partially tore my right achilles playing offensive and defensive line in the high end flag football league in Alberta until I had a ball of scar tissue the size of a robin's egg. I am with you. By the by I did physio and ultrasounded the tissue down, but eventually...

I do several sets of various angle forearm curls at every workout to keep in peak video gaming condition. That is not a joke.
