proper comment is something about fornication and the equine transport

The lunatics are running the asylum.

(and yes, 1984 was not a "how to")

Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified

Actually, for offline play, you do not want steam cloud. That would mess up everything.

(copying chars off, so you can duplicate things (runes mostly) etc. for science)

Any online chars of course are avail on any platform, as long as it's the same

sigh.

I've got 2 copies of Diablo, Diablo 2, LOD.
Now I've got 2 of D2R.

Getting the expansion via Bnet was stuck, so when I saw it on steam,
I grabbed it. Install etc, no problem.
No more fighting with the Blizz launcher and proton.

Worth it to me.

Now, Warlock class. COOL!!! (played Warlock in WoW since the start)

sorted stash etc, nice, but max of 99 in a stack. Once the stack is full,
you have to manually move the item to regular storage. (no control click)
I had a LOT of full rejuvs from my current run, so..... heh.

The always online, or check in IS annoying, but, if you launch anything via the Bnet launcher,
it's gonna do that anyway. (so is steam) We're stuck with it.
(ok, I could reinstall D2:LOD via disk.... heh)

and 40 bucks ain't bad. (darn near 40gb dl)

oh, almost forgot. Achievements. LOL! *ding* "you killed 500 monsters" me: umm. did that 25 years ago!

I really liked this game. Have 2 copies of it.
It does work on modern systems with a few glitches (no music from CD, but just fire up rhythm or something)

Underwater cities are powerful, and space ones can be insane.

Guess I gotta find an alternative to discord.

Stupid governements doing stupid things so that we have this.

Only new game I got was Civ7 and.... that was a mistake.

Mostly played Civ 5/6 and BERT (heh), Valheim (lotsa that)

Finally started No Mans Sky and enjoying it (even though no clue what I should be doing)

Not many new games look interesting enough to make me part with my money.
(I'm fussy)
:P

I went and checked. My 2x32gb sticks cost 290cdn. (580 for 2 packs)
Current price: 1150 per pack. 2300 for the 128gb. Almost 4 times the price.

(the gov will love it for the extra tax money)

ppbblltt!

Glad I upgraded when I did. (2 yrs ago)

WHEN, not IF, the AI bubble bursts, gonna be a great time to do another upgrade. :)

Until then.. I could probably make a bundle selling half my memory. (have 4x32gb sticks in it)
hmmm...
