GOG launcher says I have clocked 34 hours in the game so far, I’d say that counts as a yes ;)

There are a few advantages

• you can use the latest and greatest upstream versions (even versions under active development)
• you can let the compiler optimize for your system (especially useful with PGO, but honestly only worth it for a few applications, e.g. video encoders)
• you have full flexibility over optional features

And it’s a good learning experience, sooner or later things won’t just work and you have to learn about compilers, linkers, various build systems and script languages etc.

But yeah, for most people it’s not worth the effort

I’m not really a “party rpg” player, and “tactics” is a foreign word to me, so I have just downgraded to the Explorer difficulty after wasting a couple of hours on the defend the grove quest.

I’m sure I’m missing a lot of things but the RNG does sometimes feel quite annoying. When I lucked out on enemies positioning themselves near explody barrels the pesky spiders crit-hit me to death, other times the suicide bombers just ran past the barrels or were to spread out to get them all.

Maybe I’ll turn it back up later, or in a second playthrough, but for now I’m having more fun with the easier option. And I would recommend that to everyone who feels frustrated. The game is definitely worth it, even if it’s not my usual cup of tea

Hehe, don’t thank me yet. The general consensus seem to be that it’s an abomination from the deepest circles of hell ;)

Well the orange juice is certainly the dominant flavor and the coffee adds some nice bitter notes to it. The ginger then brings a nice spicy kick if you like that sort of thing in your food/drinks (I do, obviously)

I’d never have thought of mixing coffee and orange on my own. Same with espresso tonic. But it turns out I like both Or maybe my brain just suffers (more) damage when the room temperature exceeds 27°C 🤷

lol, good luck, I can already see them grabbing their pitchforks. And if they do let you live, ask them if they have any crazy recipes of their own and share with us ;)

I swear it’s not a joke - I do actually drink this. And the two friends I got to try it at least haven’t sued me for poisoning them, so it can’t be that bad

Yeah, if they add even just somewhat decent story content they’ll get me to spend money on the seasons too. Don’t quite remember what put me off from trying D3, but D4 got a lot of praise for its story and atmosphere so I decided to give it a try, even if it was relativly pricy. And despite occasional server hiccups I haven’t regretted that decision

It doesn’t really make sense, but going to nightmare dungeons to grind so “numbers go up” doesn’t really motivate me as much as a little blue exclamation mark and a nice voice over telling me to go to place X and kill monsters Y

I can see why forced restarts put some people off, but for me I guess it’l be a good thing. I’d be tempted to continue my current char otherwise, but a fresh start will mix things up and force me to try a different play style, thus keep things interresting for longer
