Yes, balking at the $15 is for the myopic and capricious. If you’re here to intelligently discuss D3's development, it should be about what you paid in 2012 for a beta.

You’ve made me start cooking ideas. Ways to write a game that is more than a clicker pedometer.

“Trolling” is an impossibly slippery word to draw lines around anymore, but good trolling is still supposed to be some sort of performance, a show, an adept display. Vandalism, when applicable, serves only as the means, not the end. It’s an intermediate.

Spawns of the beast to date:
* Charging money for a beta
* On-disc DLC
* “Save that idea”
* Inflated grind/progression pacing
* Superfluous always-online

The idiots having been printing “straight to the field” cards for years and years and years and years.

I don’t put up with the billboard launcher crap from xboxes, other consoles, steam, EA/origin, etc.

Eh, in certain regions it’s intenfully offensive.

I read that as faux-entourage.

I like Sanae just fine, and she’s more interesting/developed than what my musing is going to imply:

Eternal September. Or “summers gonna summer”, depending who you ask.

Lame. But extremely plausible.

Getting your game to 60 is what matters.

Performance trolling is a display of prowess, you can distinguish it when the mayhem or vandalism or damage is incidental to the show. This was more vindictive.

Normally I’d be like “guys, c’mon, it’s 2017, we have the technology” but yes, this IS Nintendo we’re talking about:

At least five. Depending on how many seconds it’s been since he ate.

Father Time shows no mercy. Maybe I won’t get a tattoo after all.

I imagine the scene isn’t what it used to be in the 00's. I mean, some group were absorbed straight into CR (and would admit anonymously to the community they felt various degrees of shame because they aims were plainly sellout and inferior)

There are gray areas.

Online is not the wonderland you’d hope for, or at least it doesn’t last all that long. I play it, I grind it, but it’s more like 90's MMOs than anything casuals would find palatable. I guess it’s more tolerable if you come from a family that, shall we say, owns capital.

Does YOUR luddite juicer let you Share your beverage to Twitter and Instagram? No? That’s what I fucking thought.
