If you liked the first one you’ll like them all! Murderbot was such a fun read all the way through.

Not “many people.” Americans. Americans find it hard to read. I’m not 100% sure but I’m fairly certain everyone else in the world agrees that either day/month/year or year/month/day is the best way to clearly indicate a date. You know, because big to small. America believes month/day/year for some stupid fucking reason.

What makes it unique?

It’s awesome how well d4 runs on the deck. I love it, if you’re into the game it’s well worth jumping through the hoops.

I use it every day, so much so that my main gaming PC barely gets used. I’m a dad now and it has made gaming not just possible but easy to do.

I think many people have that pull to nature, but most that do it and survive recognize that living without the infrastructure of the rest of humanity is at least extremely challenging and so will thoroughly prepare.

What a terrible way to go. They sounded less prepared than even Chris McCandless.

I can’t believe I’m recommending reality TV, but Alone is a fairly good representation of being alone in the wilderness with no resources. It is extremely unpleasant.

Buying new, sure, what you’re saying makes sense. I think buying used for the form factor or whatever and not wanting windows is a fine choice, though.

I think it’ll definitely be making a round trip out of the house, and if that’s the case it’s a no from me. There is no reason it can’t do both - local streaming when local and remote streaming when remote, with all the restrictions/benefits of each.

We’ll see. I probably won’t buy one anyway, I’m fine with chiaki on my deck. Maybe if it’s a flop and goes on mega sale.

I never got into poe and didn’t have as much time in d2 as you, but I played the crap out of d2 original. I also couldn’t stand d3. What a disappointment.

I really enjoy d4. I was not going to buy it but a friend who I often agree with on game choices did and was looking for someone to play with so I joined. No regrets. It feels like a modern Diablo game to me. Cross platform works well, which is nice so we can play with another friend who was obsessed with d2 but became a console gamer over the years.

I am a lot busier than I was when d2 came out so I only have a single character, around level 60, but I’m looking forward to the first season.
