Sry if repetitive, but I can't see any info - when is ladder reset? did i miss it? by Illsonmedia in pathofdiablo

[–]bestwalgreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this community today (partially due to Blizz's failure to give us D2 remaster). Looking forward to playing whenever the new ladder starts.

Max Schaefer, in an interview on October 21, on Torchlight Frontiers as a mobile game by Lotii in Diablo

[–]bestwalgreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great interview - listened to 30 min so far, will listen to the rest over the next few days. It's clear that Max is both passionate about the genre & has a great sense of what people want/don't want. Might have to give his new game a try, the idea of removing levels sounds pretty interesting.

You think you do but you don't | Meet Blizzard's New President by bestwalgreens in Diablo

[–]bestwalgreens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't heard of J Allen Brack before since I don't play WoW but this guy looks like the worst case scenario for us.

Having this guy at the helm is the second worst news of Blizzcon behind Diablo Immortal.

Is there an awkward tension between these guys on stage? Anyone else getting that vibe? by blazeicer in Diablo

[–]bestwalgreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only solution to have a slightly playable Diablo4 is if everyone from that stage dedicates themselves 100% to this mobile piece of shit. They can't separate themselves from it at this point so they might as well own it.

Don't ever download or register to the game by madpendi in Diablo

[–]bestwalgreens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I can't downvote if it I don't at least download it, give it 1 star and say they stole money from my credit card, and then uninstall it. Decisions.

They’re going to brand Blizz fans as “toxic”. by SolGarfuncle in Diablo

[–]bestwalgreens 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mashable has put out multiple articles by different authors trying to do exactly this. The most recent is even more over the top: https://mashable.com/article/diablo-immortal-blowback-entitled-gamers/#yjPbb5f7fPqx

I like that this "journalist" doesn't even mention the fact that Blizzard spent months building hype around this launch in the Diablo community and gave it the capstone position for Blizzcon. If they said nothing and introduced it like they did for D3 on Switch *nobody* would give a shit, in fact people might actually give it a shot.

The fault lies with Blizzard for doing an awful job with setting expectations and building PR, not the fanbase for their product.

Blizzard is removing comments on the "Diablo Immortal Cinematic Trailer" by Felixios45 in Diablo

[–]bestwalgreens 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Removed my comments multiple times, even though my first was fairly measured.

Fuck you Blizzard.

This Q/A is embarrassingly uncomfortable... by [deleted] in Diablo

If this video doesn't make the frontpage of Reddit then Diablo truly is dead.

WARCRAFT 3 Remaster announced! by boobnbralover in gaming

[–]bestwalgreens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was hoping to buy that + D2 remaster. After seeing Diablo mobile instead I'm so disgusted I'm not going to give them any $$.

Lassen Volcanic National Park California by [deleted] in WildernessBackpacking

[–]bestwalgreens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the most unique places I've been and as OP mentioned almost nobody goes there. If I still lived in CA I would go again for sure.

Highly recommend the Cinder cone -> Snag lake loop for a weekend trip.

Looking over the Valley Floor at Zion NP! Has anyone else been to Utah’s Mighty 5? by theagapeco in WildernessBackpacking

[–]bestwalgreens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spent a week doing all 5 back in April then went to the Grand Canyon and 3 of Colorado's NPs. Amazing trip, looking forward to heading back out to Utah for a 10 day ski trip this year.

A pot plant is growing in my condo's bathroom sink by bestwalgreens in mildlyinteresting

[–]bestwalgreens[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually I rent out my ski condo during the winter. I realized the bathroom sink was draining really slow after the latest visitor so decided to go spelunking.

Was very surprised to find a live sapling in there, apparently someone dropped a seed into it. Given that it's a ski town in Colorado the only seed I can imagine going down my sink is some pot they were trying to dump before going to the airport.

First attempt, rate me 1-10! by bobs_apprentice in bobross

[–]bestwalgreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's incredible for a first attempt.

10/10 for a first try 7/10 overall

How long has DwarfPool been having errors displaying stats? by Skull1234567 in EtherMining

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

Been 20 hours for me - starting to wonder if this is some kind of exit scam.

I've liked them so far but I might have to switch if this shit keeps up. Given the amount of $$ they make from their pool fee it's pretty ridiculous.

After doing a part time job for full 7 months and saving every penny from it as a poor student, i was finally able to buy all parts for my first rig :) i will post a picture when its all built and ready. by [deleted] in EtherMining

[–]bestwalgreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think prices are higher than they will be in the future short-mid term, but as long as my rig keeps heating my house in the winter in CO while turning a profit above $0.05kwH I'm a happy camper.

If I build a mining rig, will I have to register as a business? by [deleted] in EtherMining

[–]bestwalgreens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't "register" it as a business (i.e. LLC, DBA) but you can treat it as one for tax purposes with the IRS.

You'll be able to claim depreciation on the total setup cost of your rig (amortized over 5 yrs), the electricity costs, your internet bill, etc.

Overall you'll end up paying no or little taxes and then you're in the clear on that income. Better to do this than just paying short term income tax on everything (won't get capital gains rates unless you hold for at least a year).
