That shit is still everywhere where I am. Vote as if he’s a popular as he ever was, because in some areas he sure seems to be.

So are you just one guy with a lot of time and accounts to use, or is this like, a group of people working to make these low effort bait posts? I realize that might come across as dismissive, but I’m genuinely interested. Let’s chat!
It’s like you’re not even trying.
Nah, it wasn’t very clear in retrospect. That kind of snide comment doesn’t really translate to text very well. My bad!
Well, gaslighting would be trying to get you to question reality in some way. I don’t think that fits here. I was more implying he was being a dickhead. Because he was.
What’s outrageous about what I said that I read in an article?
Fairly confident he’s calling you a liar and suggesting the things you claim to have seen in an article you never really saw, and are instead offering a claim of your own under the guise of it having been in an article.
Pretty cool way to interact with another human being, if you think about it.
I feel you, I don’t have a lot of time either - more than that, but not a huge amount. That’s why I prefer having more viable builds. I could play Path of Exile, for example, but I don’t want to spend hours trying to learn how to even play the game this particular season so that I can make a character that won’t be a giant ball of crap. If there’s more build diversity, you’re more likely to do okay just doing whatever you want to do, without needing to research builds ahead of time.
D3 has builds that are far superior to everything else, but I don’t think D4 is any better - nerfs mid-cycle or not. Using a bad build is punished less in D4, but you’re still going to be on struggle street if you pick a shitty build. With D3 and D4 if what you want to do doesn’t just happen to be one of the good builds your character is gonna suck. It matters less in those games though, since gear is absurdly easy to get in D3, and respeccing is fairly accessible in both games.
In fairness to your point though, back when D3 was new and its hardest difficulty was borderline impossible, I found a mage build that could do it, and when I had finally gotten the gear I needed (NOT easy back then) it got nerfed the same day I was able to use it. That was super frustrating. I would argue they did that to help push the real money auction house though, not promote build diversity - don’t need to buy gear if there’s a class that doesn’t need you to. That’s the cynic in me I suppose.
Honestly, yes. I used to be in the “just buff other things” camp, and while Diablo 3 is fun enough, it already shows what happens when you do that.
Build diversity > screen go boom.
What’s that from? The Simpsons?
And Bastion.
I actually bought a stamp that prints that specifically to return Spectrum’s trash.
Sure, but that’s not the end stage of the thought experiment. It’s not really even the start. How exactly is this larger group of people supposed to enact any viable change? I think we could agree that seems unlikely to be possible in an unorganized/uncoordinated manner. The solution to that is to get organized and coordinate, right?
Well what does that look like? That could take nearly as many forms as people you ask to agree - so you’d need an idea that enough people would fall behind to still out number. Once that is achieved… What? If the goal of the burgeoning group is violent revolution, they won’t get very far into the planning phase before being scooped up by security forces in some form or another. If the goal is nonviolent revolution, such as refusal to work, the system is constructed in such a way that those you would need to participate have a lot to lose, and little ability to withstand a protected protest/encounter/whatever, vs, presumably, a group that could easily outlast all of those things, as well as their children, and their children’s children.
That’s not to say nothing can work, but I think it might be just a bit reductive to suggest that things are as simple as suggesting it is total apathy in those who would need to unite to accomplish these goals that explains why the goals aren’t striven towards.
what choice do you have if all services are doing it?
Is this whole instance like this? Like, is this another hexbear?
