  • Pretty sure it’s already been scraped. Plus there is the way back machine. But I can’t even count the amount of times I have run in to an issue at work or at home and googled “Problem Reddit” or “item review Reddit” . That info has been invaluable.

    Leave Reddit. No more new content. But it’s sad to see such a knowledge base just wiped. It’s hurting the normal people. Reddit has their data. AI has scraped it, or will scrape the history sites of it.




  • Like, I understand Twitch has server operating costs and stuff, And they are owned by Amazon so its all a rounding figure anyway, But its CRAZY to me that these people refuse to pay or keep happy the people who are the SOLE source of content.

    Twitch’s ONLY content are the streamers on their site. Reddits ONLY content are people aggregating links and posting to their site… And yet these companies continue to just piss off their creators.

    Im assuming its just because there is no viable alternative. You wanna stream? gotta do it there for views. Got the streamers over a barrel…


  • I live near Springfield MA, so not far from Hartford myself.

    Your not wrong about prices going up. We are just lucky at the position we are in to make enough money to go out. but we kinda choose where we spend our money.

    If we go out its usually to a small brewery or something like that. Where the money we do spend goes to a small, local buisness. We have a brewery not far from our house, and i was so scared they wouldnt make it through the pandemic. They opened in like 2018 or 2019 and were not super busy.

    But they are doing better then ever and we make sure to visit often. They know our names, we know theirs, and i have no issue having a good time because i know who and what my money is going to. Ill spend $6 a beer and $10 for a Kielbasa dog there, rather then spend $12 for a meal at wendys anyday





  • The initial gear isnt bad looking at all. I get that some people dont like that its “Just Cosmetics” But in the end, it is. I think as long as we are not hiding power and stats behind a paywall its fine.

    I mean they have a promotion with KFC to buy Chicken Sandwiches and get cosmetics. Its goofy and dumb, but thats like a paywall too. Not a huge deal in my opinion but everyone has their own.

    I am loving D4 so far, and i dont plan on spending real $$ on any of the cosmetics personally. I do have the battle-pass version of the game, But i like battle passes as it gives me extra activities to do when im enjoying the game, for some more unlocks.


  • Yes and No. Im with you that i wisht here wasnt a MT store in full price games, But yea that ship has sailed and is not going to stop anytime soon.

    What we hope for, and so far D4 is, is that its all just cosmetics. Just extra stuff to make you look different. Not a huge deal. Personally i got the edition with the Battlepass because i like Battlepasses, it gives me more to do in the game and extra little tasks to enjoy focusing on. Its not for everyone, and luckily its completely optional.

    The “Argument” i have for people is the discussion of whether the appearances would exist or not if there was no MT store. If they had 0 plan for a MT store, would they have bothered to make all those appearances? therefor its not something your $70 would have given you when you bought the game. I think most of those were made to put in the MT store Specifically, its not something they ripped from the base game and paywalled.


  • 4 has been my favorite since 2. Im only in to act 3 right now but i love it.

    I like the level scaling, so it doesnt matter what level you are, everything scales around you. I have one character at lvl 34 and not even in “Act 2” I have another character who was ready for Act 3 at the same level.

    And unloike other diablos there isnt really an “Act” per say where yo go to a new instance. Its just a part of the story on a part of the map. You could go kill mobs there whenever.

    Plus your friends can pop in at any level and do the quests your on. even main story. It scales it all properly and puts them on the same part. which is great, makes it so you dont need a new character for every friend group.
