I'm into ARPGs and had never heard of it either.

I have a Komandirskie that I love. I had no idea there were 24-hour versions. Thank you.

Ray tracing in this generation was a classical case of "biting more than you can chew". Huge distraction.

Are there many people still playing D3? I learned from your post that they were still doing seasons fom it, I assumed they would drop everything after D4 launched.

I'm so excited about PoE 2. And I think that they have the right idea about caring more about the new-player experience. Hillock alone probably turned away a hundred thousand players...

@beto Universities were so important enabling things back then. I used to have accounts in several labs for nearby universities (UFSC, UFPR, etc.) - all hacked, and so did many others. We'd leave our files hidden away in the filesystem, create accounts with plausible-looking names, etc.

I always wondered if the sysadmins knew anything about what we were doing. A decade later I met an ex-lab admin and asked that. He said "know about it? We even added your secret directories to our tape backup."
