Yep same sentiment. My friend group of 4 isnt playing it. Either playing throne and liberty (f2p until bored) or last epoch/PoE. Im catching up on some single player games.

Right. My current gpu/rig can play huge games at max settings at 3440x1440 120fps+

I now have zero need to buy a new gpu until this one literally explodes.

Unfortunately no (unless thats a new unannounced feature in this installment) They help/follow you around during missions like a buddy/partner. That said, they have different armors and their own “character creator” so you can customize and dress up your own lil guy.

Reminds me of a mix between diablo (the old one lol) and vampire slayer. Been playing it since it was only a couple maps and it’s definitely worth it if you like vampire survivor-esqe games.

Yeah, the “let no one else use it” portion of my comment is what i meant when you say “patent owners are generally more than happy to license their tech”

I hope ford doesn’t.

And yes while patents dont grant exclusivity it gives a company the option to try and argue that a competitors version isnt novel enough. In the USA, where ford is from, patent law screwery is abounds if you have enough money. Of which Ford is backed by the US government.

Im not here to point out whether or not the patent is the issue. The problem is the spying and selling of personal data. If ford proceeds in a way that limits that exposure to the rest of car manufacturers then fantastic, even if its only in a nominal way.

I do still appreciate your refresher on how patents work though! Hope the rest of your day goes well.

Honestly good. Let no one else use that technology. Then all i have to do is not buy a ford.

That said, if you plug your phone into your car, this tech is already in place lol.

If i cant enjoy watching two middle aged men get excited about bowling a spare on a Tuesday afternoon then what are video games good for!

I think that last paragraph precisely summarizes the flaw in 90% of the discourse about this. People are trying to solve a problem that shouldn’t exist to need to be solved.

If you set your goal to scale the industry wayyyy back, all of a sudden it becomes sustainable again. Just like it was 10 years ago. Society based on endless growth is unsustainable and all that yeah?

What was the anaology? We’re too busy trying to figure out the best position to have sex with our own mothers instead of trying to have less sex with our own mothers?

Remember to wait for the golden ultra edition on PC at 50% off before buying or you’ll miss all the dlc and 2 different versions with 20% of the content they cut out of the base game!

And its $20 instead of $15. So its actually MORE money for blizz to buy via in game gold

I just want classes with big two handers. All of them being tanks sucks. Sam/drg are just a skinny 2h with big muscles. Drk dps rotation lets me sort of live my fantasy though i suppose

If you’re looking for the real logic behind it, its because the majority of the player base is dps. Every expac has to have a dps as a new class. Otherwise the majority of the player base wont have a new class to play for an expac.

Last expac was healer/dps, one before that tank/dps, and before that dps x2. Its cyclical. So we were “due” for another double dps expac. Obviously the devs and director are free to make whatever decision they want, but this is the logic yoshi/the devs have talked about on their quarterly chats. (To my understanding)

Edit: If you’re looking for sympathy though, yeah i feel it. I always want more tanks. Warrior has always been my favorite and none of the other tanks have tickled my fancy since.
