Sure don't know what the gently caress I was thinking starting up D3 without finishing Starlink. See you later, other games.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Its important to remember Diablo and its ilk are very elaborate slot machines. Whats fun for both of them, loot games and slots, is the pulling of the arm not the actual winning. People who play it therefore optimize around getting back to pulling the arm as quickly as possible, everything else is just a blip in the way of their dopamine rush.

Man poo poo, I had to go back to this because it is really the best explanation for that kind of behavior I've seen so far. Far better than my own idea of "People are crazy, I guess." :v:

In my case, I play games like Diablo III not to collect loot, I derive fun out of Action RPGs mostly through murder. The more, the better. Getting loot and making my numbers larger are just bonus additions to the fun stuff. It's all about slaughtering monsters in ever more elaborate ways for me.


Edit:

To clarify, where Barudak's guys pull the arm and optimize for arm pulling, I'm all for moving my (actual one, not the slot machine) arm up and down. When I finally lay my hand on the arm of the slot machine, my fun is over theirs begins.

With the next wave of NES games, are the adding to the library or replacing the current set?

It would be insane for Nintendo to replace 20 games with 3 but who knows anymore

Thread is here for anyone who wants to experience the following:


Since that was written, the game has been updated so many times, you could likely write 2 more, equally long paragraphs, filled with more poo poo you could do.

You can spray a substance on a wall to make it sentient, and then you can talk to the wall.

I want so so so badly to love this game because it's entirely my poo poo, but I can never get past the very first side quest at Red Rock.

its the exact same game as on ps4, just without the rampant cheating online and you can play it in bed without remote play. it's pretty good if you're not already soured on diablo

I'm dying for a "real" racing game. Hey Codemasters, where you at?

There are a couple new arcade racers (Road Redemption and GRIP), but they're both janky Kickstarter nostalgia games that don't play very well.

Dang it. Personally, I'd be down with some light fare like a Sega Rally Revo. Something easygoing but with fun physics.

I bought it on PC at launch, PS4 and now switch. IMO switch is the perfect diablo platform, I can pick it up and do a quick bounty or rift anywhere and don’t have to care about having dedicated time to play. It’s really good. You have to like the game of course but I don’t regret the purchase at all.

Best I can tell, you quick match, pick your difficulty and desired activity then it drops you into a room. About half the time the room is empty, and someone (or two) will join you halfway through your rift OR it drops you into someone else's room and you join them halfway into whatever they're into. I don't know if there's any sort of etiquette but usually if it was my room, I'll do my business back in town then fire up another rift and they can hop in at their convenience. If it was someone else's room, I'll let them do it.

So you only ever quickmatch and it either places you alone or finds you someone else. Ok, that’s apparently all there is to it.

If you want people to join you, you can also just bring up the menu and hit plus to change your privacy setting, it defaults to friends only which is why a lot of the time quick match doesn't find anyone.

Yeah, I think QM is always a multi lobby, while Continue at the top puts you in the same position (in town) locked into single player.

Nah you're always online, there's no explicit single player mode. Its just your privacy settings can be set to invite only, friends only (the default), or open.

No Muscles For The Majority
We caved last night and bought Diablo on Switch. Playing this with a controller while cudding on the couch loving owns and there's a decent chance we'll basically ignore the PC version from now on, unless I specifically want to use one of my old non-season characters just for a laugh. It's serviceable with separate joycons, but I'm gonna grab the Pro controller tonight.

Probably gonna start bringing the Switch to work now. No, for some reason I haven't been doing that.

Because I am an impatient child I bought Moonlighter. My Smash coins brought it down to $20, which helps ease the sting a bit.

I'm starting to really love the coin system. It's not much but it's a clever way to keep your purchasing momentum.

The only one announced currently, I think, is Target's which is you get a Switch for the 300 it normally costs but you get Mario Kart 8 for free with it.
