This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

This is a topic I enjoyed seeing over at the other place, so I thought I'd try to get it going here if people are interested.

I've been enjoying Diablo IV for the most part. There is just something about huge open world games that are slightly repetitive that relaxes me. Well, as much as you can be relaxed in a game about defeating demons lol.
I almost didn't buy D4 in the first place, but I figured if I spent anywhere as many hours in D4 as I did in D3, the money would be worth it. Plus I had the very pleasant surprise of finding out that one of my favorite voice actors, Anthony Howell, plays one of the antagonists, Elias.
The only real issue I have with it is the server lagging in the evening as more people hop on. It gets a bit frustrating trying to walk somewhere and then rubber banding back to your original spot three or four times, or being in the middle of combat and everything straight up freezing. I generally have pretty good patience when it comes to video games, but holy shit it gets me close to rage quitting.

In between Diablo runs, I've been replaying the Amnesia series. I absolutely love the first two games, The Dark Descent and A Machine for Pigs, but I haven't played enough of the third, Rebirth, to say if I really like it or not. I know they just came out with another installment called The Bunker, but I think I might wait until another sale comes around to nab it.
