  • Diablo 4: My Top 10 War Plan Tree Upgrades

    Note that this is strictly an opinion piece. This has nothing to do with optimizing your activities for what you need during your journey. Instead, having gone through several characters in Diablo 4’s season 13, I feel reasonably confident in distilling my experience into a top 10 list. It really is more about my play…

  • Diablo 4: My Preferred Method of Leveling

    Having leveled numerous characters, I have developed a certain preference for taking new characters from 1-70 (now at least). There’s really two methods, depending on if the character is an alt or for a fresh season start. Campaign leveling is different just because you only need to do it once per expansion. But I want…

  • Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred: Warlock Class Review

    So I started up a Warlock for the first time yesterday. I had been tempted to play one for sometime but there had been various critiques online on how the visuals were poor, the class felt clunky compared to the “smooth” barbarian or how people would get killed by the annoying sword that gets dropped…

  • Tech Stories: The Dead Cult

    Once upon a time, I managed to get a four month contract job for an information service company that had gone IPO. If you watched Jeopardy in the late 90s, early 2000s, you might’ve seen their advertisements as the company was called USSeearch.com. This company had an interesting history, which I will get to shortly.…

  • Twitch Streamer Swifty’s Temporary Permanent Ban

    I ran into a vlog from Swifty where he talks about how his Twitch channel had received a permanent ban. Although he managed to appeal it, I think it’s one of those interesting cases to analyze and figure out what happened. Swifty has been generally a well established figure in the Twitch community and a…

  • Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred: Responding to Reddit Post on 20 Hotfixes that Would Make It A 10/10 Game

    There’s a top post by someone writing an opinion comment over on reddit on the main “hotfixes” (not really hotfixes technically but I’m using their wording) that would turn Diablo 4 into a 10/10 game. I think the choices are interesting because of how some a good chunk are either being pushed by the community…

  • Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, did Blizzard Knock it out of the Park?

    I know that Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has been reasonably well received, despite various issues like notorious bugs, problematic visuals, a new really bad end game boss fight and their typical problem with being able to balance classes and builds. However, certain key pieces that had been added for Lord of Hatred probably exceed…

  • Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred Future Season Idea with War Plans

    An idea I’ve been mulling over with the introduction of War Plans is what I call the Season of Seasons. I think War Plans offers a great area that can be expanded as the game continues to grow and develop. Given that idea and how we’ve seen small hints of previous seasons returning as nodes…

  • Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred: The Good, the Bad and the Downright Atrocious

    What is a day of Diablo 4’ing without me putting more thoughts into the game? I figured that as I continue to play the game and experience the expansion, more of my notions are formulating into more organized ideas especially as I watch more streamers play this game, interact with people on various boards or…

  • Diablo 4: Continuing with Season 13 Thoughts

    I managed more progress on my Companion Druid in moving to T10. But I noticed a pattern where the grind no longer is fun and getting decent drops becomes painful. I know they added a loot filter but it doesn’t change the fact that most drops still are pretty mediocre overall and disappointing on average.…
