Saaaame. If I paid for every movie I watched, I’d have no moneys.

Yeeeeeh… more than most mobile games, which is quite insane!

I can’t disagree with you

But the degree to which they fuck(ed) with people’s minds is wildly different.

I do not, for a second, take it all for granted >w<

I just told them one day that I’m taking them out for sushi and paying, and that it’s not a date. We were friends for a couple years before, so they were like “hell yeah free sushi!”

They turned it into a date…. Slyly bringing art book they drew in, and knowing I’d be like OOO WHAT’S THAT on the way home. I sat down for a good half hour and was marveling at their cute artistic talent.

We’ve been together for almost 13 years.

It’s a MESS right now.

My main computer has two partitions: Windows 10 LTSB and Windows 10 premium. I have to use Premium now due to NVidia’s drivers not working on LTSB for like… years. So I boot into my secondary, smaller partition. But I’m still installing games to my first partition. Also there’s some left over games from my LTSB install. I want to install LTSC IoT for longer support, but I’m lazy and all it does right now is play games.

So everything used to go to my 1TB HDD, but then I bought a second 4TB HDD, so now things go to that. And I back stuff up to my like, five 1-4GB external hard drives. Also there’s a Pi running OMV in the living room with a 5GH external, for media. That one’s kinda messed up right now, things are glitchy when I stream from it, so I need to reinstall everything.

Then my partner’s computer has a couple terabytes of SSD space and a single 4TB HDD. Much easier. P

Oh you’re not wrong! There’s a special filter you can enable in settings that makes it look more true to what you would have seen on a CRT monitor. When first switched to original settings I was like “absolutely no way it was this shitty” hahahaha

You’re 100% correct! I upgraded later, but my fam had a horrid Celeron machine for most of my life and it needed low rez to play well. ATI RAGE II I believe.

Completely understand where you’re coming from! It’s not terrible but I also had a bit of a different char in my imagination.

Weird thought: I never realized the paladin was black when I was young, but at that time in my life I just didn’t really realize people were different colours because I grew up with a wide gamut of skin colours… when I saw the remake I was like “oh yeah! That tracks!”

The sorc was exactly what I saw when I played as a kid. That was my most played char (under paladin) and she was exactly what my brain said she was.

I loved StarCraft but Diablo REALLY brought me to imagination town. The graphics were such shit but the world was so huge and dark and deep, I loved Diablo sooooo much when I was young. I was just flabbergasted by how much D2R looked like what I had imagined. I went back to the original graphics settings (with filters to make it traditional) and it was HORRIBLE. but as a kid… I was so enthralled.

Hahahaha could not agree with you more. When I started it, I was blown away at how EXACTLY LIKE MY IMAGINATION it was.

D2 looked amazing to me but I was on a 640x480 CRT in 2000-2001, so my little imagination put it all together. But damn shit fuck, D2R was done SO WELL.

The best remaster was D2R. They made it look EXACTLY like my imagination did back in 2001. It looks incredible.

Thank you for sharing. It really is a gamble.

Edit: oh gawd I missed that he died. You have my sincere condolences… I’m sending so much love.

That tracks with a lot of people I’ve been with.

With my current partner, every day is a new adventure. Some days are same-ey and those are amazing days. When we have to experience new things we’re both sus about. It’s always a shared version of “that was fucked” or “that was amazing.”

We’ve been together for 13 years.

It takes the right person.

Quick edit: every day is the best feeling in the world and I couldn’t love them more

10 was great but definitely shitted out with tracking BS you have to disable.

The Diablo II remake was EXCELLENT

The rest of their games are trash now

Original DOOM!

NEDM

Meds made me go from “I had confusing feelings about Tails and We’re Back: a Dinosaur Story when I was six” to “my ass is chock full of Bad Dragon dildoes”

I don’t have any yet and have never used it, but if I use crypto I think Monero is what I would do.
