  It has its ups and downs. I actually enjoyed the Miami vice season and the 2 after, though they’re admittedly weaker. Then there’s 3 … odd seasons. Once that concludes it basically goes back to normal and is worth watching. Not nearly as strong as before but it’s still pretty funny

  Yeah but D4 is designed to be an MMO and is open world, where last epoch is linear. It’s hard to try to bake in the exact same mechanics when the games are so different

  I’ll reiterate that if you try the skips as designed it’ll be close to what you want. But i agree that it needs improving

  I’m not entirely sure what you’re requesting then. The end game monoliths start at level 58, and the lowest level I’ve been able to complete them without dying repeatedly is level 30 or so. The campaign skips start at level 20, and give passive and idol slots. Are you asking for the game to just start your alternates at level 60? I’m not following.

  As it stands, you can skip 3/4 of the story if you use the current method. Now that you can skip dungeons and go straight to the dungeon boss, you are easily able to bypass a ton of story, and fairly quickly. I have 6 characters in this season, and i did the campaign skip on each one. You can get past the entire campaign in about 90 minutes with this method now, which doesn’t seem too bad you me. You also get passive points and idol slots for completing the skips. You can actually skip almost straight from the first major part of the ruined era (level 20) all the way to the level 50 era in a matter of minutes. If you’re geared up for this, go for it!

  When i said i was contesting it, i was conceding to you that i somewhat agree with the skip function needing improvements. That being said, I do think as they’re adding general game improvements, it is making the idea of having alternate characters much better and easier.

  There actually is a campaign skip. It’s baked into the campaign but you can skip two thirds of it on a second playthrough.

  I’ll contest that i think the skip function needs a little work but it does exist

  You may enjoy Last Epoch. It definitely scratches that itch for me, and is a bit more entertaining than TL imo

  Respectfully going to disagree with you. I’m sure there exist both men and also women who will do this, but by no means is this the norm.

  Aggressive lmao

  While i understand and agree with the premise, i think it’s lacking context. It is quite disturbing to have an obscure conversation (you know, we’ve never been to tahiti), and suddenly you’re getting banner ads or sponsored results about trips to tahiti.

  This is absolutely a thing that happens. It happens to my wife frequently (the amount of times i hear giggling, i was just talking about that! Now I’ve got an ad! What a coincidence!), but i disabled all my google permissions (outside of location for maps), so it doesn’t seem to happen to me at all.

  Not going to lie to you, this is exactly what i did :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How you dune?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s from God emperor of dune, i think it’s the fourth book in the series by publication, but not chronologically.

  I guess this might be a spoiler if they eventually make it a movie, but basically, the son of Paul merges himself with a sand worm and becomes effectively immortal. It’s both interesting and bizarre.
