Teamed up with a couple friends this week and finally finished out Diablo 4: Season 4 by taking on Tormented Duriel. I love Diablo, but it is such a relief to be able to focus on something else for a little bit.

Like Diablo 3: Season 32, lol. I am now worried about the progress I'm making. Yes, it's only been a week, but I forgot how... not good I am in working with the Necromancer's Trag'Oul set. I feel clunky and underpowered, but I don't have the full set yet, so maybe once I finished chapter 4 I'll be able to utilize it better.

Had no idea you could watch whole movies in The Darkness. I learned that when I got way too nostalgic and then invested watching To Kill A Mockingbird. Right now I'm pretty close to the end of the game, but I've been taking my sweet time combing over areas for collectibles. Even then, I'm still missing some, and they can be pretty well hidden. I'm having a lot of fun, but I am ready to pick up the sequel, if for nothing else but less stiff controls.

I think the main drawback for me was how unlikable I found Booker and Elizabeth to be. It didn't help that Elizabeth would start talking every time I tried to listen to a voxophone. I remember having to take a break from the game after attempting to listen to one 3 or 4 times, but she wouldn't stop talking. I really like the gameplay though. I'll boot up Infinite every once in a while to play Clash in the Clouds.

But this is exactly what I'm talking about. You're assuming everyone lives in the cities and suburbs while forgetting that there are people who live in rural areas and are more than 10 miles from the nearest shop.

A lot of these replies are tone deaf. Not everyone lives in a place where walking, biking, or even ride share is viable.

Not everywhere has decent, if any public transport, especially if they're in a more rural area. And not every repair takes less than a day to fix.

I wouldn't say it's as good as the RE2 remake, but it's a fun little ride and I enjoy playing it. Like I said, it's really short, and from what my friends who have played the original say, it cut some areas and isn't quite as faithful to the original as RE2 is. To me it's a nice little supplement to RE2, since it also takes place in Raccoon City, as well as giving more to Jill's story in the RE universe as a whole. I wouldn't recommend buying it full price, but if there's a good sale I'd nab it.

Still wading through Diablo 4: Season 4. I have one more objective to get all the rewards for the season, but I gotta choose between beating Uber Lilith, Tormented Duriel, or Tormented Andariel, all of which are a bitch to fight. I have all my glyphs upgraded to the absolute max, and most of my items are in a good place, but I need to go through The Pit some more to upgrade them further, but it's such a grinding pain that I get bored quickly.

Diablo 3: Season 32 started this week, and I decided to go with a Necromancer after the disaster of a time I had with the Witch Doctor last season. It's only been a day, but I'm already feeling better about this round.

Finally finished Subnautica! While the last stretch was a little grindy and tedious, the ending was nice, and overall, I'm really glad I stuck to it and made it through. I can see myself revisiting this in the future, if nothing else that to see how building different bases in different locations would affect how quickly I could get things done. Or to just see what amazing base I could build in general. I thought about playing Below Zero, but I haven't heard as great of things compared to this one, and I'm also not sure if I could stand another 60ish hours of swimming around lol. I did end up getting it on Steam anyway during the Summer Sale, so at the very least it's on the To Play List.

Had the urge to play Resident Evil 3 REmake again, so I did. I forgot it was so short, especially for a Resident Evil game.

For my next non Diablo game, I think I want to revisit The Darkness series. I've only played each game once, but I had a fun time with both, so I might see what achievements there are and do some hunting.

The only times I've ever had a drama free workplace was:

1. At the beginning of my career when I was an intern. They didn't care enough about me to include me in the gossip, and I was only going to be there for a few months anyway.
2. When my last job started letting us work from home, so I was no longer stuck at a desk in a high traffic area where multiple people would stop and chat. Headphones with a mic were a godsend, because when someone would start to approach, I'd just smile and point at the mic. Kept a lot of the gossipers at bay, though not all. WFH eliminated all that, I was so happy I could finally just focus on my work and not get caught up in situations that didn't even pertain to me.

Still swimming around in Subnautica. It's been fun trying to figure out my next step. Just mulling over stuff and gathering resources until I'm like "Oh! What did this one log from earlier say? Ok, I gotta check out this place over here." Though I won't lie, I did end up going and finding a map online, because I was getting lost so easily, especially while underwater.
I can feel that I'm nearing the end of the storyline, it's just a matter now of getting there. Without being spoilery, I've put off making one particular piece of equipment, and now it looks like I'm going to need it. So, my current state is farming for resources and crafting. I'm hoping I finish this game in the next two or three days, because while this is fun, I'm itching to play something else.

Yeah, I haven't been a fan of it so far. Some of the visuals and shots are nice, but there hasn't been one character so far that I've liked, and it tends to drone on in a boring way.

Watching anime with a friend. He's been trying to get me into Evangelion.

The main practical use I've found for me is writing a personalized cover letters when applying for jobs. Just plug in the job description, edit as needed, and off it goes. The way I see it, if HR can use it for their purposes, so can I.
