I’m currently playing Diablo IV (and having a blast with it) but finding one small gripe which I only think is going to get worse and probably stop me playing it completely in the long run.

My girlfriend is currently pregnant. This means in 6 months time we’ll have a newborn. With this in mind I’m expecting to only be able to grab a few minutes at a time to game and even when I think I’ll have longer I may end up jumping off at short notice. This means I’ll almost certainly come to rely on games which I can pause. Unfortunately this isn’t possible with Diablo IV since it requires an always online connection even though I’m essentially playing it as a single player game.

What are other people’s thoughts?

    Oh yeah… It’s not even close.

    “You don’t understand tech” as they show you how the UI of a very particular website works… As if that’s an understanding of switching, routing, networking, sysadmin, virtualization, Operating systems, apache(nginx or alternatives…), php (or similar), html, databases… etc… The list is massive… but yes sweet child! I don’t understand technology! Meanwhile that list of technologies needed to make that specific UI “Technology” work is black boxes to them.

    It’s very odd… I might have shitty memory as a 30+year old now… but I really don’t recall being that obtuse about stuff when I was younger.
