I can see quite a few trees if I zoom in on the image, they’re just young saplings at the moment as it’s all new and just been landscaped.

Then you end up with a whole map where you can only go one or two places to be challenged. Huge areas that are completely pointless and offer no reward, instead just having to go and do the same area over and over again. How boring.

The feeling of getting stronger comes from the gear you find and working out ways that you can get the powers they have to synergise with each other.

I’d much rather have it this way. As an example, I played starfield a while ago and even though it has dozens and dozens of star systems you are stuck with just 3 or 4 that offer even the slightest challenge at the later levels.

Edit: That’s not to say that levelled areas don’t work in other games of course. I love to play Valheim and that has levelled biomes but it’s a completely different game. It’s a journey with a start and end (end still not done though). It’s meant to be beaten, finished. Diablo isn’t like that, it’s a perpetual game. Elden ring is another example but again is a game that’s meant to be beaten.

Why would it be a problem? It’d be laughably easy if the mobs stayed the same as they were when you start the game at lvl 1.

No one cares buddy. Sorry.

30’s?? That’s rookie numbers, I’m nearing my 50’s.

So that’s where Radiohead got the idea!

Come on, let’s count to 34 together!

1, ah ah ah…

Me too, that’s a good one.

Well, I’m playing it right now and having a blast. Sorry if that offends you.

Because it came to gamepass and the latest patch completely reworks loot and upgrading items and adds an endgame.

The general consensus is that Diablo 4 finally got good.

Anyway, my mind was made up for me as the valheim patch wasn’t available on xbox yesterday.

Damn, new Diablo 4 season starts today too. I dunno which to play first!

Today is a good day.

Edit: I thought it would be ages until the ashlands was properly released. The smaller ‘Hildir’ patch was in testing forever.

Damn, all three of those opinions hurt me. Why you gotta be this way?

My takes; I didn’t enjoy Hyperion or Red Mars.

Seems it might actually be good. I haven’t watched this video but I did watch some of raxxanterax streaming yesterday and he seemed very pleased.

I should point out that I’ve never actually played this game. I played quite a lot of Diablo 3 and I thought I’d wait a while before trying Diablo 4 as I was sure it would have problems at launch and wasn’t willing to spend £70-100 on a game that had the potential to be a complete mess.

Well, seems like they may have actually sorted things out now and seeing as it has just come to gamepass I’ll be giving it a play when season 4 starts.

I am kind of left wondering what the point of Diablo 4 is though. ‘The pit’ is the new end-game content and it seems to be an almost direct copy of greater rifts from Diablo 3, even down to the obelisk asset and animation.

Like I said though, I haven’t played the game yet, so what do I know??!!!

I can also recommend AirVPN. I’ve been using it for several years now. I have it on my iMac and iPhone and make use of both the port forwarding and dns. They have their own client (Eddie) but you can use 3rd party clients too. I used the openVPN client for a while and am currently using wireguard.

I know it’s a flawed game but, I’m also having a lot of fun playing it. I’m currently level 141 on ng+12. I’m also looking forward to dlc… well, actually that depends on if it’s included in game pass, if it isn’t then I probably won’t bother with it.

I still cling to hope that they’ll release a new album someday.

Edit: I just noticed my username and avatar. I guess you could say I’m a fan.

I think it’s a replicator from Star Trek. Is that the one you meant?

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s definitely far from ideal.

Yeah but I pick my mum up now!!

I think that’s the plan. Rumour is that Microsoft want out of the console hardware business. They want to just be a game producer and subscription platform. They want gamepass on PlayStation and Nintendo and, well everywhere and then they can stop making consoles.

Who knows if that’s even possible though. It seems like hell would freeze over before Sony and Nintendo let gamepass on their platforms but, stranger things have happened.

Fortunately, I have zero recollection of that programme.

…dooby dooby quack quack”

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, these stories appear every year and nothing ever changes.

Cool cool cool, I can just tell ppl I’m an astronaut now.

Reckon I’ve just had this, wasn’t pleasant. Over 2 weeks later and I still feel nausea after eating. Had to go to A&E at one point as nhs 111 thought it may be an abdominal obstruction, fortunately it was not.

I did some checking, weirdly both albums were released in the same month of the same year, June 2004.

The lackluster album is a selection of remixes of other artists tracks, so it’s possible he decided to use a ‘remix’ for the cover art too, changing the egg for an egg timer. There’s no remix of a Wilco track on the album though.

That’s my guess anyway, they seem way too similar to be a coincidence.

I actually used to talk with Esa (Esa Ruoho AKA lackluster) now and then many years ago on soulseek. Pity I’ve lost touch with him or I could have just asked him.

I saw the thumb nail and thought it was this album.

Hmm, that’s interesting.

I’m currently with Vodafone and they’re coming to install fibre to my home in a couple of days… for free! However, they’re only putting me on the 100mbps plan.

I’m out of contract with them so I think I’ll switch once the install is done.

Yeah, I just read through the whole thing. It’s a HUGE update.

I think it might be a known bug on multiplayer. I’ve only played that mission a couple of times with another player and it was bugged both times. We managed to complete it but there more than 6 waves, I’ve heard other ppl say that it just goes forever too.

The aphex logo looks sweet by the way.

I put a boards of Canada hexagon next to it if anyone wants to help fill it in.

That sounds more like bed bugs. No reported cases of blandford fly in derby, confirmed or unconfirmed.

Where were the bites? All over? It’s rare to get a blandford bite above the lower leg.

You’re right! I didn’t notice until you said it though, it looks like it’s about 20 feet tall!

This one works for me.

Yeah, I’m seeing this too and after the gaps my feed starts repeating! It’s like I’m back to the top without actually going back to the top and I’m stuck in a loop of 50 or so posts.

They should’ve just downloaded some extra battery instead.

Or we could just ignore Reddit entirely and stop sending traffic their way.

It’s way too fast.
