Shit, you’re right, I forgot all about that, it’d been so long since I’ve played it. Starting a new game with an existing character keeps your stats/inventory but resets the rest of the world.
I guess I’ll go ahead and buy that sword now.
I’m two evenings into a D1 (DevilutionX) single player story run though. Can confirm. Definitely much slower and more deliberate, and not just because they hadn’t invented running yet. Nothing respawns, the world is fixed from the start, so everything is a limited resource. Do I really need to buy this sword now or should I try to hold out for something to drop? Much more strategic gameplay… Slow forward exploration, hiding behind doors and corners letting monsters come to you one by one, stuff like that.
In the later games I’d just whirlwind through everything (spin2win, baby!) and hope for the best. If I need more gold or whatever I can always just save and exit and come back in and run through the area one more time. Definitely not doing that here. Every choice matters, so slow down and make it count.

What in the hell is going on with this article? Did the author get paid by the bold or something?
Ok, fine, Graphite iMac G3 is perfection of form over function. That better?
Never actually had one, always wanted one. I did use the hockey puck mouse at school, and agree that it was fucking terrible. Can’t really speak to the esd issues from the CRT, didn’t use it often/long enough for that to affect me, though I can certainly see how it could have been a problem. Most computers are some level of space heaters, as far as that goes, especially if you’ve got a decent GPU, so I’m not sure I’d really knock it too much for that unless it was just really super egregious.
Graphite iMac G3 is perfection.
Yeah, I saw that, but I was going off what got quoted in the articles that keep getting posted today. Maybe the article is only considering opening weekend? Don’t know that, but I do know $235 is funnier than $4404.
It’s only real if it comes from the Conveyor region in southern France. Everything else is just sparkling trains.
I’ve noticed that about a ton of SCOTUS-related headlines lately. They rejected a challenge to a lawsuit challenging the rejection of the appeal that failed to reject the rejection of their earlier rejected appeal. Takes ten minutes to decipher which side actually won.
Jr Modem Engineer: Hey Steve, what should we do if their Internet is out and they want an https cert that we are unable to find?
Sr Modem Engineer: Well, Frank, glad you asked! We’ll just quietly substitute it with this random janky self-signed certificate for the modem itself instead, I’m sure that’ll solve everything!
Jr: But won’t that just obscure the real problem and overwhelm the user with a bunch of unnecessary and incorrect error messages?
Sr: Sometimes my genius is almost frightening.
It keeps the hypochondriacs from wasting resources.
Are you sure? If I was a hypochondriac, the $60/mo “Medical doctor confirms you’re fine every Wednesday” plan sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
This is just a screenshot from the Seek app.
I was skeptical of ligatures at first, too, it took me awhile to warm up to it. But yeah, love me some Fira Code now.
If she weighs the same as a duck… She’s made of wood… And therefore…
Forget about your worries and your strife!
Hell, I’d permanently lose interest in working for a measly $55 billion.
I thought so too. If the point is to show the cool character transformations why are they using clipart?!

OOBE will be a page that is very specifically crafted to make it sound as absolutely necessary, useful, and important as possible, in gushing flowery language, with a big giant Yes button and a tiny little No button in the bottom corner backed by five levels of “are you sure?” prompts.
It always made me smile when someone posted an actual tree to r/trees. I’m glad this joke made it over to Lemmy, and I’m glad you’re still cool with the accidental oak or maple showing up here.
(Fuck them shrubs, though.)
