Diablo 4 Season 1 Campfire Chat: July 21st - Icy Veins
  • I was real mad about this patch (I hopped on to play about an hour after it hit and boy was it no longer fun) but I feel better after this chat thing. Fixes to the actual problems might take some time but they acknowledged the mistake and made concrete promises of specific things to address and that counts for a lot with me.

  • Today’s patch to Helltides makes them unplayably not fun

    I’m really not one to complain about how a game is unplayable, but this patch’s helltides updates legitimately mean I’m stopping interacting with this feature until they fix it. Which I’m actually really sad about, because I was just getting into it. Between class nerfs, chest price increases, and extra level to enemies I just spent 10 minutes of a helltide getting about 7 cinders from mostly normal mobs. (They didn’t say so in the patch but it seems like the cinders drop rate is lower now too). “Risk-reward” is one thing, but if there’s no actual reward then it’s not worth doing.

    Has anyone managed to recover from а serious burnout without taking a sabbatical? How?
  • Yeah, that’s been my experience - that the people who are the least empathetic are the people who are having the same problem and trying the “tough love” approach on themselves to attempt to overcome it. They’ve shut off their compassion sensors because they can’t afford to apply any to themselves, so it’s not there for others either.

  • [D4] Skeletons On Vacation bug?
  • Update: I kept a careful eye on them and figured out what they’re doing when they run off: they’re standing still very close facing each other. Which I assume means they’ve run into each other and glitched but perhaps they’re just having a hugging contest.

    Anyway, is it possible for a random user to submit a bug report or do I just have to wait for someone important to notice?

  • Skeletons On Vacation bug?

    Anybody else having this issue with necro where the skeletons get “lost” (not killed) as you’re running around and raising corpses again won’t bring them back or recreate them? If so have you found any fixes?

    It’s annoying trying to fight when you’re supposed to have like 10 skeletons but more than half of them have fucked off to get groceries or pick up their dry cleaning. Ducking or jumping over something will bring them back, and so will a boss fight, but those aren’t available everywhere.

    [D4] Diablo IV Pulls Rarest Item After Fans Find Easy Exploit
  • Tbh this seems like an entirely predictable consequence of not having enough good endgame equipment. Barbarians don’t really have other unique helms, you say? How weird! It was definitely like that the day before the patch, too. You know, when everyone was complaining about the lack of variety and interestingness in endgame loot.

  • My dad’s instant coffee… vitrified?
  • Super neat! That explanation makes sense. I don’t know how the one packet got unsealed (it didn’t look unsealed) but it must have been.

    The coffee shards were all shiny and they clinked when you tapped them together or against things. It was cool. Never seen anything like it.

  • High functioning autistic eight year-old daughter asking for your guys advice.
  • In many emotional regulation frameworks (DBT, mindfulness) they talk about the recognition and pause as the first two steps. Noticing you’re feeling a certain way, and then learning to take a quick pause from doing anything - “one, two, three”. That gives you a small space within which you can then learn how to respond differently than instinct. Probably she’s not old enough to have learned those two steps yet. (Many adults haven’t either!) So maybe start there. Just “recognize” first, then “pause” after she’s learned the first one. It may take awhile, and that’s ok. Once she’s learned them they will be very powerful for many different things.

  • What was the subreddit that represented to you the best example of downspiral of quality? To me it was /r/dataisbeautiful
  • Most of AITA was fanfic too - just a deeply improbable amount of twins, pregnancies, weddings, and twin pregnancies at weddings. Once I stumbled upon a megapost that was all the ones about food, though, and it was great, because nearly no one bothers to make up a drama about lasagna.

    The one silver lining was it brought us the glory that was the “everything in this sub is fake” punchline story, if anyone else remembers that one.

  • Best places to get human reviews/recommendations outside of reddit?
  • Alas! Yeah I saw a fair bit of that go by but mostly ignored it; my area is fairly diverse politically so there were people yelling into the void and also people who weren’t. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for just like, hanging out and chatting with people, but they’ve been pretty good at least where I am about recommendations. Maybe that does vary by how crappy your neighbors are, though.

  • I'm currently playing Divinity Original Sin 2
  • It was super good. Definitely the type of game where you can’t just spam attacks, you really need to be strategic and think about it, which I appreciated. And it’s a great couch coop, like others have said.

  • r/ModCoord has officially recommended migration off of Reddit.
  • What’s the best/least obnoxious way to suggest to communities who haven’t brought up migrating yet that they should consider it?

    There’s like 3 subs that if they migrated over, I’d happily just stay here forever and never go back.
