Haha, thanks, it’s still just perfect to stir my tea with.

Unless it’s a joke, I can definitely see myself leaving my designated teaspoon in a glass of cafiza/Puly Caff overnight. Not in the fridge, though 🤔.

It might be just subjective, but I have played D3 (which D4 is more akin to) and D2, and I got bored rather early. D2 had some great mechanics, but in certain aspects it’s also stupidly rough around the edges when it comes to game design.

Most unique items give counterintuitive and sometimes straight high-on-pot bonuses. It screams that they were designed in the early stages of the game when developers honestly thought a sorceress can just run around and bonk enemies in the head with a staff (which is fair at rather low levels, but by the time you find these uniques… it’s like hopping off of a motorboat onto a floating wooden chair and paddling with a fork).

Before D2R, a bunch of builds were meh at best, weak more often. While classes don’t necessarily have to be all viable by focusing on one specific branch, but it’s kind of disappointing when you realise you can’t just make a curse necromancer.

There are also a bunch of skills that are one point wonders. Again, it’s not a requirement for all skills to scale well with points, but it just feels poorly designed for me when there are so many skills that are not worth spending on them. Critical hit? Why not, add 6-7 points into it (might not be the right skill/number, just an example). But you know what? We also allow you to add another 13-14 points with a negligible difference, because why not. All skills can get 20 points, so no exceptions.

The synergies in LOD were a nice addition and a creative fix for some builds, but some synergies still didn’t make sense. D2R also made some improvements, but if you want to build a Spearzon, you’ll still find yourself paddling with the aforementioned fork here and there.

I have never played D4, but I would still choose D2 over D3. But I feel like the player base is mostly the ones who played it back when it came out, and felt nostalgic about it. As players who grew up with better polished games, I think the younger generation would go with something that feels less like economy class.

This is giving me Cypher-eating-steak-in-the-Matrix vibes.

I bet you don’t have a cool X-wing!

Haha, yeah, meals containing cheese. Including (rather great) toasties.

About 5-6 years ago I did the same thing. I’m still a shameless omnivore, but I managed to reduce my meat consumption significantly. Around 2024 (so several years after I started) I had to get my blood analyzed. The only thing they found was my lack of vitamin D, but I live in a country with minimal suboptimal* sun exposure, so it’s a thing here anyway.

Note that I still eat meat, but way less often than before. I started with a maximum of two meaty days per week (no cap on meat those days), but not as a fixed schedule: I just allowed myself when I really craved it, but not more than 2 days a week. Can be 1 or 0.

Fast forward to the end of 2023, when I started thinking about when I last had meat, and I couldn’t remember. It wasn’t quite hard, to be honest: there are awesome veggie meals around, and I still eat dairy and eggs whenever.

I’m a helpless cheese/dairy addict, trying to cut off as much meat as possible. Unfortunately, a few years ago my body had decided not to deal with that anymore, and I became slightly lactose intolerant. Now, I can either go vegan and end up eating shittons of legumes, or I can keep eating cheese (my workplace provides free food, but basically everything has cheese in it). I’m trying my best to keep them alive, but it’s not easy.

I was born back when a medium older than this was still in use, but I still had to come here for ZeroGravitas’s reply, because all I saw was this circular bit and maybe (but probably not) the rim of a microwave glass plate. I wouldn’t have known it’s a DVD case otherwise.

UPDATE: Aaaaaand I just saw the post’s description. Obviously it’s obvious now.

I’m not sure if it’s me not getting the point, but… If they are going to abandon that account anyway, what does it matter if that accounts gets banned from whatever?

Well, either case… I still don’t see why it’s necessary to delete the account by anyone/anything, regardless.

I mean, yeah… But if you do that, and next time you spam with a different account anyway, then why would you add an extra step of deleting a 30min old account anyway?

I was so confused my why went both ways. This answered one of the ways, however, I don’t get why you need to remove your account after posting. What’s the point?

You can say Brutain on the internet.

I only eat bread from Ötzi’s stomach.

Back around 2010, my girlfriend of the time ended up on someone’s page detailing how to pick up girls, and shortly prompting readers to buy their pheromone based product (obvious scam, but that’s not the point now). She got super upset. Outraged, even. She went on a rant about how she’s not a fucking moth that can just be lured by silly simple stuff like that.

About a year later we took part in a competition where two attendees (2 girls, maybe a year or two younger) were desperately looking for accommodation. One of our rooms was empty that day, so we offered that to them with another flatmate (my GF wasn’t around that day).

When she had heard about the whole thing, she got rather jealous. Didn’t matter how much I explained it to her that I am boringly faithful, that I only love her and I didn’t care about the girls romantically, or that I have always been like this: in her mind, if a guy is “alone” with 2 girls for the night (daytime is fine, but mystically, horny zombification happens at full moon), he will be as easy to seduce as it gets, not matter what (like any of those two girls wanted anything, anyway).

Am I a fucking moth, then? It goes both ways.

I usually add context for this exact reason. You get lazy once, and there you go.

That’s admirable! I looked it up in translate and got a completely different result. I think I know what was going on : ) 🦃
