I used to be a huge fan of Diablo II and have played quite a bit. Some D2R even. But with Blizzard going to shit, and me being a Mac user (and Mac support long gone from the D2 codebase), I had kind of given up on it ever becoming a desirable franchise again.
When the initial hype around Diablo II Resurrected died down and seasonal changes kind of fizzled out, I figured that was it.
I have to hand it to them though: didn’t have a huge (paid, ofc) update, complete with a new player class, on my bingo card for 2026!
PS: I play sorc and amazon, and the warlock looks kinda dumb, so I guess I’ll pass on the new class. Also, Mac support in Crossover broke some time ago. Until it comes back, I can’t even launch the game.
The biggest improvement for me is Steam support! Finally got rid of the awful Battle.Net launcher! Huge get!
With the Discord age verification debacle in full force, I am inclined to just delete my account, as many others are choosing to do right now.
The only thing holding me back is a small community of MtG proxy printers (shout-out to LiberProxies!) in Germany. Hope they jump ship as well and set up shop somewhere else.
For a while, I have been rewatching Scrubs again. I have seen each episode many times before. And while some of the humor and attitude of the show have aged poorly, most of it still holds up. It’s also just nice to reminisce of the times when I first watched these.
Whenever I rewatch something, I also skim its Wikipedia page to see what the actors and crew are up to now, who has died, who made it big and who is in jail because they were sexist/racist (hate it when this ruins a show for me!)
In this case, I was very surprised to find out season 10 is coming in about a week from now! Don’t know if this is a “oh no” or “hell yes” moment, but I’ll sure give it a watch.
There’s not a lot to like about the movie Alien: Covenant. But there are a few memorable moments. Some I remember for the cringe, like the flute fingering. But others I found generally good and enjoyable treatments of the Alien staples, such as the buildup to and ensuing chaos of the crew’s first encounter with the Alien in the ship’s medbay.
A very intense scene, with good sound design and very good and graphic body horror. I find myself thinking of this scene from time to time and remembering it in a positive way. Here, I said it.
Won’t redeem the movie, but credit where it’s due, I guess.
