I have not been back to play D1 or D2 since the olden days but I know I played D2 a lot more. Great memories. I picked up D3 very late and played through once and lost interest - it just felt bland. When D2R came out I was excited for a min but after watching a few reviews decided to leave my nostalgia alone.

Now D4, I really wanted to wait to get it but I could not resist. My feelings echo yours and I struggled to even finish the story and I have not gone back yet. I played a lot of PoE over the years and the sense of progression with power, builds, and mechanics, you get from can be amazing. It has its rough edges but it has a satisfying payoff (up to a point). D4 has no payoff at almost any stage, at least for me. And according to my memory didn't have the gameplay enjoyment of D2 and not close to PoE.

Maybe you'd like to explain then.

"Once HB 2127 goes into effect in September, local ordinances mandating water breaks for workers outdoors in cities across the state, which the Observer writes contributed to a "significant decrease in annual heat-related illnesses and heat deaths," will be overturned and localities will be barred from passing new ones."

That's an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing it.

Yes, it is definitely impossible to create a system that confirms a user's selection. It is also impossible to make it so you can resume the subscription if accidentally canceled... or maybe, just maybe there is another reason why they want it the way it is.

Well, not to mention, Afghanistan had a few other knock-on effects on the, um, former Soviet Union.

I don't know but I will go with this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP8VPkWXOfU (Wagner's Mutiny - what it means for Putin's Russia (and Coups 101) Perun)

I am not sure coup is the right word either because it didn't seem to me they had a plan on overthrowing Putin. While RF may have had trouble stopping Wagner's advance, what could Wagner actually do if they made it to Moscow?

While they may be mercenaries they are paid and directed by RF, so I think mutiny is probably more accurate even if not technically correct.

Maybe in some cases for some things but overall I would say no In my experience. I've been to India 5+ times and spent a lot of time with locals. The healthcare situation for many in general is really bad. As my friend said to me, "If we get something serious there is no hospital for us, it's direct to graveyard." They get sick, they suffer, they are not superhuman immune-wise at all. The better I got to know one particular group the more I discovered that most if not all of them had an untreated medical situation that they just lived with "I have some problems in my body." This was 10 and longer years ago so perhaps things are a bit better for some in some areas now.

Or on occasion, the Supreme Court decides that Fla votes R for them.

I am surprised no mention of Mint yet. As far as beginner-friendly Linux desktop Mint is one of the better ones and it is just very nice overall. To be fair I have not used it for gaming but I would not think there would be any more issues with that than any Linux distro.

Crawl issues I am sure but also user experience issues. Google is sensitive to sending visitors to sites where metrics indicate users do not, like bounce rates etc. I don't use twt but if it is the case you have the be logged in to see anything now, a non-logged in user will click a link from Google hit a login page, and use the back button. I would assume Google will see that as a bad search result and use it less.

I've played D1 and D2 in the early days and loved them. I am not sure they'd hold up today. I looked at D2R and while it hits the nostalgia part hard, I just could not get excited to actually play it. If you are really interested to know what it was like and it would mean something to you to play it, I'd say it could be worth it. My best Diablo experiences were unquestionably with D2.

I got into D3 very late and while I enjoyed my time with it, it didn't hook me. I feel like I got my money's worth for the time I spent with it but it didn't hold up for me very well.

From my point of view, I think picking up D4 would be money better spent for what it is already and will likely become over time. D4 is pretty decent and while I have to admit I am a little bored with it it does seem to have a lot of potential. I did feel a bit bad about giving the company my money but I could not resist.
