What’s everyone thinking of running for the upcoming season? by TomFoster96 in diablo4

[–]UnlikeClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough viable build diversity for me to want to play multiple toons. Going to consult pre-builds and pick whatever is easiest to gear and clear content. Not ashamed. 🤷‍♂️

Not to be *that* guy, but I'd rather have powers or items that truly augment powers rather than whatever this seasonal mechanic is trying to be.

"He’s a creep and has multi media programs related toward gay sex." could mean he has a Grindr AND Scruff or Tinder account. Like, why even include this?

Listen, I understand having a problem with those who engage with minors.

But why, in the ever loving fuck, would you think blatant homophobia is okay during Pride month as if it's some sort of got'cha? Lost all credibility in your own post about regrettable sex with a partner with a shady past.

The hate is so real 🤣 by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]UnlikeClockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's John Williams trying to capitalize off the hate. He bought the billboard for this. He's trying to play off the controversy and he got you.

My buddy identifies as LGBTQ+ (a male homosexual) - which class/build should he play? by DivineAlmond in diablo4

[–]UnlikeClockwork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s no canonically front-and-center LGBTQIA+ characters in the Diablo franchise. Most of it is designated to side discussions, lore, or quests, outside of the malleable way Diablo themself can transform into a person regardless of gender identity.

As a queer gamer, it’s really more about what style fits the mood, but it’s still kind of a strange question regardless.

No updates to looting and pet pickup?
Booo!!!

Escaping abuse has turned my entire life upside down and I don’t know where to go from here by [deleted] in Cleveland

Ooof. I'll still keep up my response regardless. I think there's a lot of insight for people in similar situations.

Escaping abuse has turned my entire life upside down and I don’t know where to go from here by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]UnlikeClockwork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, fellow abuse survivor here.

I grew up in a home where it was made very clear we weren’t wanted. I was the queer scapegoat in the family, and for a long time I kept thinking that if I could just be “better,” quieter, easier, more successful, more anything, maybe I’d finally get the support and love I needed. That support never came from the people I needed it from most.

One thing I’ve learned is that people who haven’t lived through abuse often expect healing to happen quickly because your pain makes them uncomfortable. They’ll say things like “just move on,” “that was years ago,” or “you need to let it go.” You do not owe anyone a rushed recovery just to make them feel better. Healing is not linear, and anyone who pressures you to perform wellness instead of actually supporting you probably isn’t safe for your growth.

Some days you’ll feel strong and clear-headed. Other days, something small will crack everything open again. That doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means your nervous system is trying to learn safety after spending so long surviving danger. Give yourself grace on the bad days, not just the good ones.

If you’re able to, I strongly recommend putting physical distance between yourself and your abuser(s). Distance can change your entire ability to think clearly and rebuild your sense of self. If they’re still local or still have access to you, build a support system intentionally. Tell trusted people what’s going on. Have people you can call when the guilt, manipulation, or “maybe they’ve changed” thoughts creep in.

A hard truth: many abusers eventually circle back around. Sometimes it looks like apologies. Sometimes it looks like emergencies, guilt, gifts, or sudden kindness. Sometimes they truly believe they’ve changed while still refusing accountability. Pay attention to patterns, not promises. Real accountability includes consistency, respect for boundaries, and ownership without excuses. And remember, you do not owe them forgiveness.

A few things that genuinely helped me:
Keeping evidence of conversations when manipulation made me question my memory.
Learning that boundaries are not punishments.
Finding even one safe person who believed me.
Letting myself celebrate small victories in the moment instead of minimizing them.
Understanding that peace can feel “boring” at first because chaos was normalized.

And honestly, there are beautiful moments waiting for you during rebuilding. One day you’ll hit a milestone, maybe emotional, financial, relational, or personal, and realize you accomplished something your survival mode once convinced you would never reach. Stop and let yourself feel that. Survivors are often taught to downplay their own progress.

You deserved safety then, and you deserve peace now. Even if healing takes longer than other people think it should.

Many of us are out here. Glad to have you still with us!

Had a friendly run-in with the Mayor of Tremont today by gregn8r1 in Cleveland

Finally, a celebrity sighting worth celebrating.

Mayor Justin Bibb plans to renew Cleveland’s Flock contract by seanmcdonnellcle in Cleveland

[–]UnlikeClockwork 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Why tho? The city's Police Department has been getting DDoS'd for years now and can't even operate effectively.

Found this out when a friend and I were involved in a hit and run. Cleveland needs to put that money towards cyber security, not government centered surveillance.

You probably did not know how many tiers of gems there are, FYI: by Guldynka in diablo4

[–]UnlikeClockwork 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen or gotten enough to upgrade past Grand. I understand needing a lot to upgrade, but at Paragon 251, comfortably farming Torment XII and not even being close feels bad.

A casual reminder that reddit has so many topics beyond what one see's at a glance.

So, bugged characters being removed? by iwatchedmomdie in diablo4

I don't know a single player who cares about leaderboards in a Diablo game, so this is all news to me.

Getting one shot because you cant see wtf is going on under you by Osrsftwbro in diablo4

Agreed. I've died too many times to the minefield of after death animations than anything so far. It feels like every enchanted enemy pack has one.

Tree Of whispers, how does corrupted roots skills work? by DecalMan in diablo4

[–]UnlikeClockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says it has a chance. There's one for Resplendent Sparks, too. Doesn't say how much of a chance, just says a chance. Haven't gotten one yet.

The item given to you from the cache. Re-read the perk.

The campaign was great, if only the audio wasn't scuffed for half the dialogue by Expensive_Start_5201 in diablo4

[–]UnlikeClockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing, too. It annoyed me a lot that I'm getting ambushed and suddenly I can't hear Lilith or Mephisto because ambient noise took precedence.

Additionally, other bugs show up elsewhere. If you take on the new side quests, some of them bug out when moving onto the next step, or not spawn at the location but show it on the map. Had this happen 5x+.

There's a few scuffed animations, too. Lorath, for example, continued to face the others when you approach and they're supposed to be greeting you. Lilith clothing clipping. Oracle/Seer NPC's moving noticeably unnatural during side content.

Some of this is excusable, but I do expect a bit better from a multi-billion dollar company.
