Diablo 3 on controller was way more fun than any Diablo ever has been or will be, because they turned the doge roll into a cooldown in 4 lmao

I dislike the term "permadeath".

Death is already permanent. Kind of by definition. It is in fact the most permanent thing.

No actually. Yeah they have a currency to buy cosmetics/stash tabs currency but I was talking about https://poe.ninja/economy/necropolis/currency. Auto pick up for currency? No gently caress you. Well okay sure but only for console players (also I think the Chinese version has it) Bigger stacks to make trading easier? No gently caress you. Crafting? Oh you bet it's a bunch of clicks. Click click click click click.

edit: To be clear they do the bullshit real money = digital currency = oh look at that you have weird increments left over of the digital currency don't want to give anyone the wrong idea that Path of Exile isn't still f2p trash. It's just less trash than most.

Streamers are desperate for content. Particularly if you've been poopsocking the same game for several years already.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Its DotA 2-Some inscrutable patch number so they're keeping the tradition alive.

Its basically an overhaul of the characters so they now have innate passives and two different loadouts, so it feels like they finally decided to lift some concepts for League of Legends

yeah little things like AA or Shadow Demon or Grimstroke getting tiny innate bonuses to their right clicks feels very League, that and obviously the passives for everyone

Diablo 4's obsession with edgy blood and guts and supergrimdark suffering is what put the nail in the coffin for me. It got so bad it felt like a parody at times. Like, even loot containers were human bodies fused into some hellish flesh nightmares ffs. Diablo 3s cartoony style was way better.

This intrigued me so I looked him up. There he is, five hours into a stream, quietly staring dead into the screen while he does this thing where he fights a boss for about two seconds, then reloads goes into the boss room, fights it for two seconds, then reloads... I watched him do this about ten times before he did something different enough that I realized it wasn't just on a loop. Then he did mumble, into his cup of water, "something something something thanks for the sub"

I think Fable 3 had some mechanic where you earned money by being a landlord while you weren't playing the game.

I'd say it would be interesting to boot up Fable 3 well over a decade after I played it and see how much money I have but I don't own a copy and infinite money couldn't possibly make Fable 3 interesting.

It's on Game Pass. Likely need to enable cloud saving if it's not already there.

What an experiment, enable cloud saving now, and then in 15 years if GamesPass is still around and kept your saves, see if a bad game is more fun making activities in it feel even less rewarding. Might be another way to get infinite money in fallout 3 but you might have to hit tilde on the keyboard and like add.item 000001f 9999999

I just looked him up too and its important to say that he's trapped himself in some kind of gimmick where he's dressed as a cowboy, one of the most depressing things I've seen.

i stream all my dota games, usually only average about 5 viewers , it's pretty wholesome though not gonna lie, you build up enough of a friend group playing dota that people will actually come watch and I have a few people I might dare feel big headed enough to refer to as my "fans"

side note, 2 of my dota friends said separately to me this week: "you have the biggest heart of anyone we play with" and "you are the nicest person in this gaming group"

made me smile

have a nice weekend grumpy gaming guys, i'm going to play so much weed and smoke so much dota
