the blog of a disabled mother who likes to game, and "get in the pit"
This randomly loaded on the computer this morning when I went to load it up and I’ve been introducing James to the newer version of this! I am absolutely excited to be able to introduce the game that I grew up with to my child who is now the same age as I was when I was getting into this! This is just phenomenal!
I found out that Diablo 2 is coming out… remastered, or whatever you want to call it.
Soon after I found out about that, I put down a pre-order on it since you can do that for the PC version.
I grew up on Diablo 2, and Bub spent the first few years of his life sitting on my lap playing it alongside me much to his extreme amusement. Enjoying it again can’t be all bad, especially if it will have improved graphics and other alterations to make the gameplay experience that much better… I just hope that Blizzard finally decides to scrap online-only play. I know that they did so for Diablo 3‘s Switch port, for which I am extremely thankful, but I do hope that this is done around the table for Diablo 2 as well. Sometimes we just want to play a game for the sake of enjoying it without online interference. That’s not too much to ask here.
And speaking of nostalgia, I remember the ill-fated auction house that Diablo 3 used to have.
Having made the decision to switch over to Skeld.net, I’ve since decided to switch back to the official servers.
For some reason, the other game modes (Jester, Troll) were not working for me as well as I had hoped they would. I’ve heard that there are other private servers out there, and I’ve been reading up on them in my spare time. I’d like to play on something that runs similarly to the server that Disguised Toast and his friends use. There also seemed to be the problem of the connection dropping more for me on that server than it ever really has on the official servers, but I can’t help but hold out hope that the official servers incorporate some of the roles that other people have come up with and coded into their own servers for play. One can hope…
I’ve also been getting rid of some things on this computer to save space because I have Bub’s Steam games on this computer. Regrettably, I chose to get rid of Ragnarok Online to ensure that he would continue to have optimal room to play them with me, and it’s not a decision that I regret… especially since my interest in Ragnarok Online literally waxes and wanes, and right now it is at a lull. Maybe if I can figure out how to save space on this computer, more space than I’m already saving, I can find some way to get it back on here and still have an amount of free space that is beneficial to us and that is something that I am comfortable with.
