You’ll be fine. I know I was. The plot isn’t super-important (as with most Souls games) and it plays really well, it’s in that upper tier of Soulslike which are actually good games in their own right. I often get tempted to reinstall it - in fact I might do that shortly - it’s a lot smaller than I remember if Steam is…

No, it’s going about the right distance. Or do you want to have some kind kind of competition where only the most-worthy people get considered victims.

What I’m talking about is that D4 (like D3 but more extremely) has a ton of effects which don’t just mindlessly buff a skill by +1 or whatever, but actually make it do different, additional things. In some cases turning bad or barely-usable skills into powerful ones. And whilst I think that’s okay with true Uniques,…

“I don’t think you’ve ever actually like ... drank-drank.”

Thank for the additional information re: the timeline. The article - and your posts, and those of others, all gave the impression this was already signed and ready to go for 2026. But the detail you’ve provided is very helpful and shows that is not at all the case.

Oh I think there will be change - the legislation will get revoked and whoever does (probably DeSantis, that slimy piece of shit) will be hugely popular.

Yeah - and it will fail. Current breathalyzers tend to last 1-2 years before needing replacement (either entirely or parts). Delivery drivers are going to get absolutely turbo-fucked by this, because they’re going to see regular failures - probably more outright devices stopping working than false positives - and if…

“That’s only for people 21 and older. If you’re younger than 21, some states are zero-tolerance, and other states flag you if you blow above .02.”

They’re not unfounded given the way the US and specific states tend to take a mediocre to bad idea and run all the way down the field into the ULTRA TERRIBLE DISASTER ZONE so they can score a truly horrible idea touchdown. This is the US we’re talking about, not a sane country.

“but if the cost was trivial and the accuracy were 100% it would be hard to argue against it”.

You can’t “detect false positives”, that’s what makes them false positives.

“Although there will undoutedly be functioning acoholics that try to game the system, this will help stop deluded people who think they “got this” from driving impaired.”

“In regards to false positives, the amount of the substances you’d have to consume to blow a false positive is usually far in excess of what any normal person would consume.”

Not ones that operate remotely like this. And the existing ones are both:

“Seatbelts can be defeated exceedingly easy. I genuinely hope you don’t need me to prove to you that they’re largely used properly and are effective at reducing harm.”

God forbid Kotaku do pieces in a format they’ve been doing for 10+ years.

I’d second all of this, as someone who play thousands of hours of D2:LoD ladders and so on.

“I’d argue this is standard Diablo.”

Pretty much exactly how I felt, class-wise. I really hope the Druid picks up later, because the effectiveness disparity between them and the Rogue/Sorcerer/Necro was much larger than I’d hoped.

You can’t trust his screenshot because that person is intentionally misleading, sadly, given they intentionally skipped the case Avellone lost due to SLAPP laws. Whoever wrote that certainly has an agenda.
