You can just find them in game as you play. It is pretty fun, but you probably won't have all of them yet. At least I'm only about 1/3 of the way.

The problem is locking rewards behind them that some players apparently feel like they absolutely need to play the game.

True, but I also find that when you are dealing with circular reference and shared object scopes a bit of extra syntax and wrapping is the least of your problems.

In this case the garbage collector handles the memory for you, but for every other complication arising from these patterns you are still on your own. Keeping track of updates, locks, non-memory resource.

Option 1: Create complicated system which loads information about other players on demand, being careful that certain information must always be preloaded before it is needed to prevent lags, while different information can wait for a network request. Must consider the implications of increased network chatter on server load.

Option 2: Just load all the stuff.

No because the population is not even close to being uniformly distributed geographically.

Because you don't fix everything by killing one bad guy. Not even in simplistic video game worlds. Especially not in the world of Diablo which thematically deals with the eternal conflict between good and evil.

I get the impression that some of these people were expecting that Diablo 4 was going to allow them to build a meaningful and fulfilling life around playing it at least 4 hours everyday 7 days per week. And now they are desperately sad and angry and having an existential crisis.

Chill people usually don't go straight to waving their constitutional rights in other people's faces at the first sign of any minor disagreement.

RIP everyone who doesn't live exactly on the ecliptic.

The amount of time which the sun shines has very little to do with half of 24 hours most of the year where I live.

Their terminal emulator can use all shells, just like all the other terminal emulators ever.

It is particularly easy to set up different profiles with different shells with Windows Terminal compared to some other terminal emulators though.

Why would it be redundant? You can’t even get past the main function before dealing with a char**
