Woah, great to see a PD2 dev here - thanks for all your efforts, PD2 is still the best Diablo I reckon!
BTW (not sure if you'd know), now that Reddit's gone to shit, are there any plans for making a PD2 community here (maybe on lemmy.ml since Beehaw doesn't allow custom communities)?
Enigma
Yep, been playing this game for two decades and have yet to see a Ber rune drop lol.
I'm just using the website. It's pretty usable for me, no issues like Jeroba. Of course an actual app would be nice but right now the website provides a better experience, IMO.
Sync will also be shutting down. o7
As a fellow fan of 1 & 2, it's been a pretty disappointing experience. The game lacks soul, and feels more like a generic ripoff ARPG, rather than a Diablo game. Only good thing about the game so far, for me anyways, is the story and cutscenes.

As a current Diablo 2 player (D2R/PD2), I'm pretty disappointed with it. I wouldn't recommend it if you were a big fan of D2. It's a lot more like D3, and a lot less like Diablo, and a lot more like a generic RPG we see these days. Lacks the Diabo "soul" if that makes sense. But if you really enjoyed D3, you may enjoy D4. It's not for me though.

This is what I did: I told everyone that I'd be quitting Facebook, and if they wished to remain in touch with me, they could reach me via SMS, Signal, Email etc. Some folks continued to stay in touch, some didn't, and that's how I knew who my real friends were. People who truly care about you, will find ways to stay in touch with you.
Kindly elaborate how exactly I wasn't being nice! OP claimed that they were "forced" to use Facebook, which, I'm curious as to their choice of words, because unless their life literally dependend on it, I don't see how it's possible.
There are other social media platforms out there, and plenty of ways to stay in touch to in this digital and connected era - including using plain old SMS and email. I don't belive that it's impossible to disconnect from an evil platform such as Facebook.
The purpose of my comment was to challenge the notion that Facebook is a "necessity", and I was hoping to wean OP away from it, which can only be a good thing. The point was to spark a debate and get them to question this themselves, and reach their own conclusion. It's a good thing, not a bad thing.
There are other platforms, plus you know, real life. Facebook isn't a necessity to maintain a social circle.
Sorry, but you're not forced to use it unless your life literally dependend on it. You could always quit if you really wanted to.
Sisko : [on the image of his dead wife] I don't know if you can understand. I see her like this, every time I close my eyes. In the darkness, in the blink of an eye, I see her... like this.
Prophet : None of your past experiences helped prepare you for this consequence.
Sisko : And I have never figured out how to live without her.
Prophet : So, you choose to exist here.
[Sisko nods]
Prophet : It is not linear.
Sisko : [sobs] No. It's not linear.
They should officially add a fourth "E" to that model - Enshittification.
Slashdot had this covered years ago, literally decades.
- Upvotes limited to +5.
- Votes categorized: funny, informative, insightful, etc.
- Number of votes limited per time frame and user karma.
- Meta-moderation: your votes (up/down both) were subject to voting (correct/incorrect). good score == more upvotes to spend.
It's a pity that Reddit and other sites didn't follow this model.
For sure, I am pleasantly surprised at how relatively bug free the experience was at launch.
On the other hand, for single folks like me it seems worthwhile. I game on a 4K projector that costs $3000, I also used to have a 49" ultrawide monitor which I sold off recently cause I was using my projector more, so at least for me, Apple's headset could replace a bunch of my costly gadgets - assuming it has video inputs of course (not sure if it does, haven't seen any mentions of it).
I used to play PoE and enjoyed it's early iterations, but the recent updates have been a mess. The game has just become an a almalgamation of too many things, and has become cluttered. I am looking forward to PoE2 though.
Ah, well you're missing out. DOS games are still pretty fun and awesome. Having a blast paying Dangerous Dave right now, and will play Prince of Persia once I clock this.
