The initialism is decades older than any iDevice. Go complain to people on USENET from before you were born.

How many people clicked the phishing links in your college papers?

Lol Artefact. I did forget about that

Trump denies wrongdoing. He says ... that it didn’t matter what he put on his financial statements because they had a disclaimer that says they shouldn’t be trusted.

It disincentives gaining skills that can only earn less than 40k a year.

I envy a life where you've never had to clean a bathroom.

Agreed. It's a solid game that just gets boring. I enjoyed the campaign and the co-op play. I liked the variety of play of the classes.

But since the launch they've just made the game boring. The first big patch just nerfed every build. It's not a competitive game - they just decided you should have less fun I guess.

Gems are super boring - instead of being excited for them to drop, inactively ignore them. And the first seasons only mechanic is.... fancy gems.

The towns are designed to make you run around a ton. The mount mechanics are actively hostile (maps have areas where you need to dismount to progress, then there's a 10s cool down before you can mount again). Inventory management kinda sucks. The whole loot management part of the game is kinda flat and that's a major component of this series.

It's weird because this was the smoothest launch of a Diablo and the game felt feature rich as you leveled. But the end game is so fucking boring. They have so many things in D3 they could have just copied but instead we'll end up with yet another patch of nerfs in a single player game.

It's fine, most of us are used to being disappointed by god

AAA studios were used to having local build farms, in-person build-review sessions, and testers being in the same physical space so engineers could see what's going on. They have collections of unreleased hardware that need to be distributed and secured.

It's not simple to completely overhaul a setup like that and go full remote. You're moving 100s of GB a day to each dev and trying to change every one of your processes.

Every AAA engineer I know complained about how how slow everything was remote. Studios are figuring that shit out now, but I don't think "hurr durr Todd Howard old" is really accurate or adding anything to the conversation here

VS for Mac was really just a renamed Xamarin Studio too.

I take the bus to work every day. It's a set route for my set work schedule and it's great.

But everything else I do in my life? Not on a bus route, schedules are slow on the weekend or stop completely after a certain time.

When you come up with a bus that goes wherever I want to go when I want, I'm in. Until then, a car that doesn't require a driver and is easily shared between many people to take them the last mile is an actual solution.

New player general tips:

• always play however you find most fun, if you're looking to be efficient or aren't sure where to start...

• you get your mount at the very beginning of act IV if you want to get more mobility.

• if you just do the main story (yellow quest markers), you'll be slightly under leveled by the end of the game.

• get renown up at least up to level 1 for each region. The extra skill points and bonus XP are great

• probably the best things to do for renown are strongholds and side quests. Strongholds are usually 100+20 renown for the included waypoint. Side quests that are also in dungeons will yield 20+30 renown

• Make sure you level up your healing potions every 10ish levels!

• salvaging gear will give you mats you'll really want later in the game. You'll probably have enough gold and can skip selling
