  • Cleaning up affixes and deleting a lot of them. Changing loot so less drops of higher quality. New tier of legendary affixes that can’t be imbued onto other gear. Legendary and uniques are tradable. All affixes go into codex. Codex affixes can be leveled up. Rework of the upgrading system to 12 tiers with new mats. Uber Andy. Level 200 Uber bosses. Lots of skill reworks they haven’t spoiled yet. Mid may release.


  • The meaninglessness is still there. What I suspect is the biggest difference is the headspace surrounding it. If there’s not inherent meaning to life, then that frees you to create your own with your own goals and desires and whatnot. If there’s no inherent meaning, then any meaning we as humans come up with for ourselves is the meaning. For some people, that’s religion. For some, it’s taking care of their loved ones. For a few of my friends, it’s to play as many video games as possible. For others, it’s to work as much as possible. The beauty of it is that they’re all right, the meaning of their life is what they make of it. You are what you repeatedly do.



  • For me, the biggest benefit is the mental load I no longer have. I used to have to think about maintenance, MOT schedule, road tax scheduling, insurance scheduling, renewing my parking certificate, how much I drink, where I’m going to park, did I run out of time on the parking meter, is there traffic on my route, where are the road works…

    The mental energy I’d waste just to deal with a car was massive. There’s still mental energy with public transit, like what is the schedule and which bus do I need to be on to make it in time, and what do I do if a stop isn’t near my destination, but it’s a lot less mental load than having a car.
