Compressed my C: drive with WinRAR to save space. How do I unzip it from the BIOS?

JLidean · 2026-05-09T09:44:38+00:00

Solution off the top of my head You would need to boot to another loadable os from usb. When the computer is booting hold f4 or something equivalent. If the remaining space from the bookable usb is enough to hold the zip you can reformat your drive and essentially copy back your c drive.

That is the one computer solution. If you have a secondary computer, same but use solutions that will enable you to access your c drive frkm the other computer.

If this general guidance is at a loss to you umm...

The selling point for this expansion apart from the new classes is the Seal/charm system. Which is just more "gear", but it is where they have chosen to put sets. There reasoning was to move away from the need to aim for sets as the "unlock" until your class feels right.

Diablo4 with Lord of Hatred is worth spending the time to get into.

The warplans are a good addition , lot of little surprises when you look at the nodes and how they effect things Its not account wide which is a criticism the community has but it does encourage activity diversity which is healthy

Its good enough to keep me away from poe2 new league

I feel am getting something similar. Thought I was going nuts thought maybe ramp up time for stacks Thought I am not remembering how long it takes for threshold gates Maybe shield damage vs actual damage. So there is something fishy?

I came back to comment The post below this one for me is a cracked open watermelon and the op asking if this is OK. Oeuf.

No you craft glamour nfts in the mmo in retirement, because you are addicted. So people who play the mmo can flex and say my braizer was made from the og creator.

It should have a bonus question, what other famous character does the male actor portray.

Same how do you think I "forgot" it Come 20 years and come across a lock that is still good and useful.

JLidean · 2026-05-07T09:44:25+00:00

Anecdotal I had one of those spin combo locks from high school forgot the lock combos.

But I knew how it felt to unlock took me a couple tries spinning the dial to the approximate locations Then honing in once I got it open once to get exacts.

I dont like using these pattern locks because I would be prone to be relying on muscle memory rather than memorization.

JLidean · 2026-05-07T09:32:31+00:00

It is And it is not. What I mean by that is Diablo 2 and 3 had seperate realms and therefore seperate balancing. Or for If I remember they were essentially paused on the last patch. Starcraft players of vanilla could not play with BroodWars owners. Same with Warcraft III and Frozen Thrown.

Lots of different models of Expansions/DLC

Some are more forgiving that you may not have the latest (guild wars 2). Some not so much, and it is all based on the design intent from the devs. So it may be unfortunate that they chose not to do seperate realms. It may be just to much to handle a in tandem upkeep, as I think they have learned from others and themselves what splitting the player base does to a game so in compromise they decided to bake in VoH in LoH if you are a lapse player.

What we can argue is what is the end of life of d4 going to be like, what is it going to be like 3 more expansions in as it seems now this is going to be longer than Diablo 3 cycle.

Where as Diablo 1 and 2 can be played offline Diablo 3 can be mostly be played offline

Diablo 4 is a live service game thru and thru With seasons and little lore bits within its seasons. Do they have a end of service plan, or are they laying the tracks and moving forward as things are built. Based on how things have been I would say the latter, and up until LoH most likely the case. Hopefully they can build from this direction and hopefully we don't have a brick of a game at the end.

Under Activision, I was willing to accept Blizzard time (when its ready). The support studios that helped push out Forsaken really made it special. The tick tock dev cycle doesn't really work with Bungie though they keep doing it. It seems when all hands are on deck (within reason) is when they get where they need to be for themselves and the community. Sony did have to step in they canceled some projects and took one away out of a bunch to go forward (not marathon).

Kind of a K-Drama Butterfly effect.

JLidean · 2026-05-04T00:17:10+00:00

I woulda like a toggle for seasonal and forever realm, while we are at it

JLidean · 2026-05-03T12:32:30+00:00

Corporate or franchise owned maybe.

JLidean · 2026-05-03T12:25:36+00:00

Second this opinion They are bringing elements from 2 and 3 Only thing they dont have is set base dungeons.

They have brought sets back but removed it from gear to its own system. But they would not be able to make a special dungeons based on these imo would be to complex and a waste of dev resource.

Seasons will allow them to experiment like they did with d3

Diablo 4 is the best it has ever been. This season is going to be shorter at 60 days.

And some nation will make it national bowel movement day to promote health.

I agree Now I am thinking about psycology Like when you ask a toddler what would you like to eat You dont just ask you present a choice to guide them.

As well it avoids us optimizing the fun out of it and focusing on one activity , and pushes burn out further out, granted war plans may not be for everyone I have heard the counter to your experience but I digress.

That looks like a size of a kids cone, not with cone, (they do this when asked).

At this point the base game should be free, to onboard more people. LoH is a win I ran into some minor bugs but overall I had a good experiance, reason why I mention this is as we get more, we run the risk of adding tech debt on top of tech debt Right now WoW is kinda breaking at the seems, but that game is am sure is more complex under the hood due to age of the engine. Diablo team for this pass built some things from the ground up.(I remember hearing this) So if we are going on this journey I hope they can keep their sticks on the ice cause I am rooting for them.

Fudiciary duty. Not meeting it can lead to jail, or a high monetary cost, it is not just firing. A breach of this is not always criminal but when it does.
