Anytime I see someone bitching about the writing in Diablo I know they are just looking to be mad.

Diablos writing and story has been garbage and unimportant for 35 years. It’s a slot machine.

Diablo hasn’t changed since D2. It’s just gotten quicker to do hundreds of runs.

Probably a bit harsh in this post, op seems to mean it, but they clearly don’t represent the general audience.




Blah blah blah I’m going to ignore the opinion of half the gamers out there and bitch anyway.

I appreciate DFs technical dives but they don’t understand that micro stutters on the first few loads aren’t what people care about outside of gamer “forums”. See every fromsoft game every made except sekiro.


Oh more of this spam. Christ Lemmy is a mess.


I don’t think your experience is what most people experience. The vast majority of sharing issues is education on role and user based sharing.

If you understand the difference between a kink that works for everyone and the difference between a view only and edit permissions then it works just fine.


I run the team that does MSP and cloud services for 1000 people. MS365 works mostly great. This community is somewhat mistaken what non technical, gamers and business users value.






I do empathize but your mental health isn’t my responsibility. If you don’t wear a seatbelt I didn’t give a fuck. But let’s take your strawman a bit further, video games have been shown to cause agressiness and anti social behavior. Do you support banning them all? What is, in your opinion, where the state should step in to protect people from themselves.

I don’t give a shit other than proper labels. The rest is nanny state bullshit.


I’m so tired of this shit. I don’t care if people can’t handle their shit. Their problem, not mine. If I want to gamble I can gamble. I don’t care if some shitty parent is letting their kids gamble. Nanny state bullshit.


Big concern of mine. Was a huge concern when steam ruined it on PC 20 years ago. Game fly if you are in the states is worth it’s weight in gold. I played at least $2000 worth of games last year for about $300.



People get real mad when I tell them it’s cheaper because I can rent and resell games. Just yelling no way it’s cheaper because you’re spending $60/ yr for online. It’s become an identity for them.


This is dense. The base PS5 for a good portion of is life provided an unbeatable price to performance value. For a long time you’d be taking about $600 for just the GPU.

They’ve sold 60M units. This crap has been parroted by fanboys on both sides since the 80s.




Pixel OS. It’s the best out of the box experience for most users.


The first game story was terrible and so is the second. This is some trivial shit to quit over but to each their own.


Far easier to manage a few blockbuster deals than hundreds of smaller ones.

Assuming the content depth is suitable (it wasn’t) those AAA games are more likely to bring in folks to try the service.


You think fluid motion is just going to make games perform at 120 fps or near that? Especially without artifacting or fidelity? That’s highly optimistic.

Also I’m not sure why you keep on mentioning vrr, it has nothing to do with a 120 hrz screen wasting battery power chasing on paper metrics. Power is still allocated and not dynamic on this device.



I honestly can’t imagine too many games that can be driven past 60fps with this hardware besides 2d stuff. I’m sure there are a few but I imagine it mostly just burns battery for most people.


I guess if you want to shit your battery life away while having to struggle to hit 60fps more power to ya 🤷‍♂️



Nah modern game development is fantastic. Y’all just dont remember getting 2 good titles a year and the rest being garbage. There are more great games out there than ever before.




$20 month for family music streaming plus the insane amount of good content is a bargain. Y’all just want to be salty they are forcing you to stop freeloading 🤣.



I resell and rent games all the time. It’s far far cheaper and you aren’t waiting for sales. You can easily relist software for 90% of its value. I use gamely so I spent $250 and played maybe 40 or so titles not having to wait for sales.

Add in the costs of a PC vs a console and it’s not even close. I save literally thousands of dollars a year.


Every single argument there could be applied to every Amazon, Google, etc.

As a publisher if you do not publish on steam you are review bombed, rage bait is plastered across the internet, and every other comment online is about boycotting.

Oh and there is an easy solution from 15 years ago. Steam killed it. Discs. Or a modern digital representation where you can resell and use the content with a launcher.

I always find it funny when i point out too pcmr that console gaming is far cheaper and easier fairer to the consumer for this reason.


It’s amazing how folks support valves monopoly while screaming bloody murder at every other tech company.


I mean good for him.

But very few pirates actually can’t afford shit. It’s mostly people in shitty regions and freeloaders who don’t pay for anything.


I couldn’t care less for anything made before 2016. It’s all aged horribly. Every time I hear play shadow of the Colossus I vomit in my mouth. Ground breaking at the time, but an otherwise garbage game with okay story in a modern context.

And while not an era I’m going to stay on my soap box. Open world games without strong narrative and massive amounts of backtracking. Every open world game on the planet minus God of war(s), the first hzd (and this was pushing it), rdr2( pushing it), and cyberpunk has way to much shit spread out with little drive to finish narrative. You shouldn’t be backtracking into previous areas or sections in areas without some clever ass level design.
