You don't need to imagine what would happen. Path of Exile was designed by hardcore Diablo 2 fans. If you really don't like content past the main story it does still have a great regular first playthrough campaign. It even rep

I think the main difference between built in jacks on laptops and this expansion card is that this needs to have all the circuitry to be a USB ethernet adapter on top of the actual jack. I imagine it's a challenge to fit that in alongs

The regular modules fit in pretty snugly and don't add any extra bulk to the device. So you can put it in tight bags or sleeves without having to carry anything else around while still getting whatever ports you need. This ethernet mod

I suspect this would work in a lot of cases if you can find out who the key engineers/strategy people in the company are. But working that out is probably the hard part. If you have the money an acquihire guarantees you get everything.

Yeah, the addition of the constellation system on top of the dual skill trees was huge for me too. Brings the depth to a level where you can spend ages theorycrafting, while not being nearly as immediately daunting to new players as PoEs sk

Not surprised - most of the core hack and slash gameplay is generally done solo. The multiplayer comes in with talking to other players in towns, trading items, and competing with people/showing off over character progression while kno

Grim Dawn is also great, though you'll only be able to squeeze a few hundred hours of greatness compared to the thousands of hours of greatness you can get out of PoE.

I feel like Diablo is the wrong game to be asking this about, and OP is making some assumptions that don't really ring true to me. I'd be kinda surprised if multiplayer wasn't what the vast majority of the Diablo 2 playerba

A full ban would be much much easier to enforce. You see a fishing boat? It gets a military escort out of your national waters. You see the same boat again? It gets blown up. Compare with having to board a random sample of boats (and there&

Sure, until the naysayers come up with a list of bullshit concerns so long that nobody would have the resources to deal with all of them. At some point you have to acknowledge that certain people are acting in bad faith and just ignore them

It's because people focusing on birds being killed by wind turbines don't actually care about birds, they just don't like wind turbines. It's a convenient bullet point in a list of tedious to debunk FUD.

It's not in law, but some supermarkets in New Zealand age restrict energy drinks to 16+. On the one hand it strikes me as being kind of silly, because those same kids could buy a coffee/iced coffee with just as much sugar and ofte

Design better tests. If you can "cheat" on a test by just googling things/looking at notes then the test isn't testing anything but rote memorization anyway.

Other than Rust the only other "pragmatic" language I can think of that has as much of a robust type system is Typescript. As you say anything else you'd have a hard time convincing the rest of your team to use.

Surely this is a distinction without a difference though? Nobody is driving a disembodied engine with nothing attached to it around, what matters is whether or not ICE cars have more faults. Also, electrical systems are pretty intertwined
