Who cares? Without trucks moving goods, we literally have nothing and society as we know it doesn’t exist.

That is true

Right and I get that, and I’m not saying that’s a bad idea, but again I just get a really bad taste in my mouth for policies that aim to save people from themselves. It just feels like the government being a parent instead of a service of the people. Secondly, it doesn’t really fix the root of the problem, which doesn’t always have to be the goal in policies obviously, but reluctantly making people make decisions with higher prices. Where should the government stop then in using higher taxes to get us to do what it wants?

Again, I’m torn on this because it may be the correct thing to do to cut down sugar consumption, but I hate the precedent it creates.

Maybe. A possibility for sure. I’m just not really into policies of trying to save people from themselves.

For me? I do what I can by just avoiding it as much as I can.

No, because just banning things rarely achieves the desired results.

And whether it’s cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup, too much sugar in general is the problem, much more so than the subtle differences between the two.

Yes, I even have a class A CDL. However, I don’t do it much so I’m not the greatest in a big truck and am competent in a regular vehicle

Yes, even as someone without anxiety this happens. This is especially true if I haven’t gotten enough sleep the last couple/few days. Also, it comes with a hangover besides the physical ailments. Lastly, if I’ve been stressed for a long while about certain things and those eventually get resolved, I’ll still feel anxiety/stress for awhile, it’s what I consider burnout as it applies to me.

Cut out Reddit completely if you haven’t already, that helps a lot.

Reddit is so much bigger, but if you remove that competition to cure the same “itch”… you’ll be here more.

Right? Like I say obviously that wouldn’t work today either. Imagine how PACKED those levels would be.

I do wish however you didn’t have to be online to play, puts you at the mercy of the servers.

That’s the point though. There is tons more content, but what little content was in Diablo 1 for comparison was very rich and deep. I agree, cliches mean nothing without context so I’ll gladly provide some.

An example of this is this: who’s Griswald?

I bet you instantly know who that is, some of his lines, and where he was and his story.

Now name one vendor in Diablo 4.

Now, I’m not saying Diablo 4 should be like Diablo 1, because that also wouldn’t work in 2023. But having tons of content seems to have been traded for depth. While I liked the story and feel in Diablo 4, besides about 4-5 characters in Diablo 4’s story at the beginning and at the end, most were forgettable.

It’s like Blizzard forgot why NPCs such as Deckard Cain and Griswald and places like Tristram are so iconic.

They forgot why grinding was fun in 1&2. Getting my ass kicked by the Butcher, Duriel, etc. early on… then going back and leveling a couple more times and getting some better gear to kick their ass was rewarding and fun. Made it all worth it.

Between that and stats you can’t feel in the game. Because everything scales with you, to me after you get your ultimate, you don’t feel your character get stronger.

To me, Diablo 4 is a good game worth playing but it’s not nearly as good as 1&2, and I won’t dump thousands of hours into it like I did with LOD. I can go back to LOD and it’s as fun as it was 20 years ago despite playing the same content over and over.

The Act Man on YouTube did a review of the game and hit all the same points you did.

He explained Diablo 4 as being as big as an ocean (content wise), but as deep as a puddle. I think that is spot on.

Loved the game for the first 15 or so hours, but it’s getting kind of boring and many things seem like chores instead of fun gameplay.

Don’t get me wrong, I still think it’s a decent game, but for me it’s nowhere near D2(played mostly single player and easily my fav) and is the polar opposite of D1.

It is however, much better than D3. I hated that game. I put 3-4 hours into that game and just couldn’t do it anymore.
