I can't stress this enough, when you get the opportunity to do the Mantis side quest, do it as soon as you are able. It starts with a note titled Secret Outpost!

I thought about it today and I am always a good guy in games that have morality. I think it’s time to switch it up and be a right prick. Also, kaizokuō ni ore wa naru!

Less than 24 hours now. We are in the endgame now boys!

I ordered a series X just for this game. I can't wait to see all the cool shit that we can do!

Bryce is getting local love down here in the Raleigh area. People near Charlotte say that he's brought some of the buzz back when Cam first started blowing up. Apparently, he's already giving presentations to the offensive line:
Wofford College, Spartanburg, one night early in Panthers’ training camp, offensive players and coaches in a meeting room, a vital two hours for a new coaching staff and an offense with potentially new players at every skill position. “Pizza and Protections,” it’s called, with a stack of hot pizzas on hand to make it a relaxed setting. How will this offensive line block regular and “exotic” fronts, and what terminology will be used to call it in the huddle? New coaches from different systems— head coach Frank Reich, line coach James Campen, QB coach Josh McCown, coordinator Thomas Brown—have to agree on the details and verbiage and adopt them. Important night.
Before the meeting, Campen and McCown approached Reich. “Coach,” McCown said, “do you mind if Bryce facilitates? He wants to do it.”
Bryce Young, the rookie quarterback, 22 years old, wanted to run the meeting with 35 players and nine coaches. Reich was stunned to hear this. But he figured, Why not? This guy is more advanced than any rookie I’ve coached.
“How’d he do?” I asked.
“Phenomenal. Flawless. Flawless. He knew everything,” Reich said. “It was a pretty amazing night.”

I am about to hit level 100 in Diablo 4, currently 99.25, and I’m excited to see what’s been going on this season. Fishing? New raid. Multiple lore bombs. Sounds wild I’ve heard.

It's the Steam Summer Sale! Hide your wallets!
What titles are you interested in this year?
-
Can you tech savvy folks suggest a gaming computer for me? I haven’t had one in years and I’m itching to get back to pc. I am looking to go between 4-5k.

From what I hear, the Diablo devs are working on making gems a currency so they won’t go in our bag at all. Downside is they aren’t expecting a fix until season 2.

Rend build worked a lot better for me until I got past 50 because rage is so much harder to get than in 3. But if you insist on WW, getting a +2 to WW on your gloves is a must have. Rubies in your armor, skulls in your jewelry and +life in your helm, chest, and boots will help the game feel a lot better.
Gambling has gotten me quite a few decent legendaries so don’t forget that when you are behind in a piece of gear.

I'm level 49 with my Barb and have switched to just picking up side quests, but actually working towards completing the game.
I'll say this - this is probably the best Diablo story they've ever told. At this point for where I'm at, which is right at the start of act 4, I'm impressed at how much ambiguity there is to what Lilith is actually up to. There are moments where she's in this Thanos type of space where, hey, you have a good idea, but you're just an asshole. Other times she's straight up villainous. And not to spoil anything, but...
Diablo, Baal, and Mephisto being on the side of not really liking Lilith just adds to the mystery of what Lilith is actually up to.
Not to mention that Inarius is a real dick and doesn't seem like he can be trusted.
Something else that stands out is that it really feels like they're totally ignoring or even retconning anything from Diablo 3, which is probably for the best I suppose.
I'm just looking forward to finishing this campaign and playing on Nightmare. At some point my friends and I are going to give Hardcore mode a go, but with the caveat that we're only doing it once.
I could already be in Torment but I'm not interested in rushing things. I'm interested in how you guys view the story after you've finished. I think that the entirety of Act 6 is going to have a huge, HUGE impact on the world of Sanctuary. Lilith at the end does make a very good point and I wonder how you all will view the epilogue.

I am far too addicted to Diablo 4. It's so freaking good. It took them long enough, but it seems like they figured out from their time of owning Bungie to looking at what Lost Ark and Path of Exile were doing for how to make a Diablo 4 live service game.
One thing I really like is that you're always vulnerable from the start to just about the end game. Potion management is a must. In Diablo 3 I could basically sleepwalk my way through the entire game. It was just way too easy. Now though, even on the second difficulty level, there are fights that are really tough and I'm relying on the dodge button a lot.
The one thing I don't like is that for whatever reason, it's the only PC game I own and play that makes my PC sound like a vacuum cleaner. Hopefully future patches optimize how it's using resources, but my god, the heat on my CPU and GPU ramp way up while playing it. It hasn't caused a hard shutdown or anything, but I wind up playing D4 with the door to my PC open just to get a ton of ventilation in there. I have one large fan in the back of the case, 2 on top, 2 in the front, and an aftermarket cooler on my CPU. It's really making me consider getting an all in one water cooling kit.
I struggled a bit with my enjoyment of D4 because I kept trying to play it like it was D3. Once I took a bit of time to think about my itemization and build with my barb plus a few lucky drops, it's gotten a lot more fun. I just hit 50 but I'm still in Act 5 so I'm going to try to blaze through the rest of story tonight The paragon system looks promising and I'm looking forward to it. Kinda wish I could have gotten to glyphs before they were nerfed so hard but such is being an adult.

Hey, if you're on the east coast of the US, the air quality absolutely sucks right now because of the Canadian wildfires. Like, even down here in South Carolina we're pushing an orange air quality alert. If you don't have to go out, don't. If you have to go out, get a good mask on.
Are we talking about wearing our covid masks or something more specific for smoke?

I saw this yesterday. Whatever your expectations are for this movie, raise them. This is one of the best movies I've seen, animated or otherwise. The only flaw I have is that the other half of this movie isn't out now.

I got a promotion at my job. So I was focused on that and less on Destiny. I just a couple days ago did the mission where Amanda died. I think it would probably hit you guys harder since I been playing since Forsaken and she never did much until now. You guys have a lot more history with her. Still sad though.
I am unclear when I got decent at Iron Banner but I went from having like a 0.7 k/d to a 1.7 this week. I must have been playing less skilled players. I am better but not that much better.

The debrief on this raid is brutal
Why?
-
The end of quest 5 can kiss the entirety of my ass.
-
I am doing the legendary campaign and I am also probably slower than you guys. I am at quest 4 when I get home. I managed to beat my first tormentor without dying by playing the world's longest game of hide and seek. At first I thought he was immune to special and heavy ammo but I was shooting at the wrong place.
Witherhord is god tier. Strand feels like it's in the way. Also not going to mention how many times I ran to escape mission 3 instead of driving.

I just got passed the part where you try strand for the first time last night. What do you guys think of the story and game play since you're farther along than I am?

They got me like that on Playstation when Witch Queen dropped. Had to reinstall the whole game on launch day. I hope it works for you Rippa.

I have tried to minimize how much news about Lightfall so I'd have some surprises. But I broke down and listened to Houndish's update.
H: Heavy grenade launchers are getting a buff...
Me: Sweet that'll give me a reason to break out Para-
H: All except Parasite.
Me: Fuck.
-
I took a break from Destiny for the past few weeks so I wouldn't be burnout on the game. I am happy launch day is in a couple of days but I am going to dodge spoilers all day until I get home. Basically don't go to reddit, Twitter, or YT and I should be fine. Or I could just be magically sick that day.

Gotta give a lot of love to KO for selling that ass beating. When KO got thrown into the stairs twice, that's the first move that's made me cringe in a long time. KO more than earned his paycheck.

I actually did miss the Exo the first time. You can still get the catalyst after you finish but the quest doesn't complete. Solar titan is much easier to solo compared to void which I did last week.
The hologram messages this season have been fire.
