Yup. The senses just cause me to shrug. Then I move about my day. Much different then the Miz sub-species I’m sure

My moose senses also tingled. What great senses we have eh?

“First, thank you for all the years of dedication to Reddit. You’re amazing.” - My favorite Mod post of the AMA

I live near Springfield MA, so not far from Hartford myself.

Your not wrong about prices going up. We are just lucky at the position we are in to make enough money to go out. but we kinda choose where we spend our money.

If we go out its usually to a small brewery or something like that. Where the money we do spend goes to a small, local buisness. We have a brewery not far from our house, and i was so scared they wouldnt make it through the pandemic. They opened in like 2018 or 2019 and were not super busy.

But they are doing better then ever and we make sure to visit often. They know our names, we know theirs, and i have no issue having a good time because i know who and what my money is going to. Ill spend $6 a beer and $10 for a Kielbasa dog there, rather then spend $12 for a meal at wendys anyday

The thing about it is its not like people were against paying. these apps are willing to pay. I mean, read the Apollo Devs post if you havnt. He has audio recordings and transcripts

They are just pricing out third-party apps because they dont want them around. The problem is noone is going to sign up for Reddit Gold. They will just use old.reddit.com with a pop up blocker on the desktop. They wont make ad income from them either.

Im honestly not sure about that yet. My highest character is like 42. I know all the dungeons and stuff are repeatable and resetable. and i like the more “open world” feel of it.

The level sync works great. lets you do everything at your own pace. one of my characters is in the 30s and hasnt started the 2nd act quests yet. my other one was almost at act 3 quests at 35. And your friends of any level can just hop in and they are at the same story quests, so no remaking characters just to play with friends.

The initial gear isnt bad looking at all. I get that some people dont like that its “Just Cosmetics” But in the end, it is. I think as long as we are not hiding power and stats behind a paywall its fine.

I mean they have a promotion with KFC to buy Chicken Sandwiches and get cosmetics. Its goofy and dumb, but thats like a paywall too. Not a huge deal in my opinion but everyone has their own.

I am loving D4 so far, and i dont plan on spending real $$ on any of the cosmetics personally. I do have the battle-pass version of the game, But i like battle passes as it gives me extra activities to do when im enjoying the game, for some more unlocks.
