We need to talk. Oh, Jesus. Good morning. I was thinking about making a series of videos like, let's talk about the vaults. Yeah. Let's talk about the pets. Let's talk about, you know, the Uber boss. And I was planning when anyone asked me to hit level 100 in the game and max out everything so I could feel like I have a real good, solid, informed opinion on everything.

Naturally. But as it stands, every time I log in... Jeez, just look at them, bro. Just look at them, like, that's a... That's bad. Yeah. Into Diablo 4 currently over the life. Wait, wait, wait, yo, look at the hoodie.

Bro! Oh my God! How the fuck! Oh no. It's in the Raxark? Yeah, I know. Jesus, it's my turn? get one of these hoodies. It's a max roll hoodie.

It's three days to live stream it. I feel like my content basically sucks. Yeah. Because I'm bored out of my mind. Right. And nothing is worse than watching a streamer who is bored out of his mind. Oh, it's so bad. Um, now... That's one of the worst places to be as a streamer.

It's like whenever you're playing a game that you fucking hate and nobody will watch you play anything else besides that game. Like, how many people, like, if you know, like somebody, it's like, like Tarkov, League, Wow, maybe Apex. Like, it's just, ooh, it's bad.

Wow is one of the worst ones. Normally in this type of situation, I would just push past this. Right. And that was my plan anyway, was to just get to level 100, regardless of whether or not I was enjoying the game. That was what I told myself about season two. Like I was like, I'm going to get 100 no matter what. Like I was saying, it's not like we're solving world hunger,

we're literally just reviewing video games so it's a video game, just play the video game so I think by the end of it. But I'll be honest, this is the most bored I've been with the game since the game's been out and instead of repeating the same points I've either already said or repeated a million times, I'm basically just going to say that

until a patch, hot fix, campfire chat, or season four itemization, literally anything where I feel like there's a reason to log in and do something except run with this. In my opinion, dead content. really, here's where I'm at, right? Here's why I didn't play season three.

There are two reasons why I didn't play season three. This is the first reason and this is the second reason. Oh, actually, no, there's three reasons. I'm saving it for Last Epoch. I want my ARPG degeneracy to be as raw and fresh and primal as possible whenever that game comes out and I want to be ready to go in. That's the real reason.

And so yeah, like, I just, there's like no burning desire for me to play Diablo 4 right now. Because, like, also, like, with POE, here's like another thing is that whenever I watch people play Diablo 4, it doesn't look cool in the same way that watching people play

POE looks cool. Like, I don't know. Like, whirlwind barbarian thing I thought was really cool and so I did it and then the ball sorcerer thing I thought was really cool so I did it but there's nothing else in the game that I think is cool whereas like in POE there's just like so much that you can do like I think next league I'm gonna play I'm gonna go back I'm gonna play minions again I think it's time to come back and I haven't for a long time probably since I don't I don't know like a ritual

no, no, the one after ritual week. Fucking ultimatum week. I haven't played it since then. And so, Minutbuff confirmed. Yeah, Chris Diemne about it. But like, I get excited for just that. Intent votes where you literally ignore everything in it and just go straight to the end.

Bro, you said you're going to play season three multiple times? I did. I said I was going to play it. And I didn't. Because I'm like, I would rather just play something. else. I did. Like, I'm sorry if I misled people, I am. But like, I just

whatever, right? I realize this day one and that just seems like dead content to me and the pet sucks. So, I just don't see a reason to log in. Yeah, like, what are you doing? However, yeah, exactly. What I do think makes for entertaining streams and entertaining content is when you do something you actually think is fun.

Yeah. So that's what I'm going to do today. I'm sure there are a million other people who are bored of this season currently. And if you're one of the people who are enjoying the season, I am happy for you. And that's another big thing is like if you are, you know, a dad with three wives, 12 kids and six jobs, and you love Diablo four, congratulations. You're playing a game that's fun for you. You're not, and this isn't like a. patronizing, oh yeah, like monkeys love bananas because they're too stupid to use computers.

Like you, idiot, stupid Diablo 4 player. That's not what I'm saying. I just think that really, if you like the game, you're having fun, good. But that's not me. That's really all there's to it. Fuck. Fair at all. Enjoy your season.

For me, I can't play this and I can't make content that. I feel like is good content to put out at the moment. So I'm simply not going to play it until there is a reason to play it, which is more than likely season four. I have seen a lot of people asking me my opinion on faith in the devs or what the devs could do. Yeah, I mean, I don't want to have to have faith in developers. I don't want to have to make this, this is not a religion. I don't want to have, this is not a cult.

I don't want to have faith in them. Like, is the game good? It's still bad. Okay, I'll be back. Like, okay. It's ready when it's ready. And sometimes maybe that's never. You know, it's like Diablo 3 started to get good around season 28.

Okay? So we're like one eighth of the way there. Or a bit more than that. Sorry. You know, okay, well, how about since the situation? to fix it. I don't care about Gassinian suggestions. I don't get paid to fix the game. I get paid to

cover it, review it, and give guides and tips on it. I could try the right 15 essays, and I've seen plenty of other people go out there and do that and send the feedback and then have that feedback drastically get ignored, and then the next season that comes out is... The crazy thing is that whenever everybody,

every single player is giving the same feedback, and Blizzard's like, if only we could... No. We just wish somebody would fucking tell us about this. So we found out that you guys don't like farming renown. Yeah, it took six months

to figure this out, but we know now we value your feedback. Yeah, well, they didn't say how much they value it. Like, for example, like I, there's a value that I would attach to like a dead, like a dead roach in my kitchen. Like, there's a value there.

That value is nothing. So I do value the dead roach, but I have value it at zero. Whether or less worse than, in my opinion, preseason, because at least preseason the game was new, and now we're doing the same thing. Season two, in my personal take... Oh, I had fun in season two. I did. I enjoyed my entire one week of playing the game, and I was looking forward to playing season

three. I just watched some people playing it. It seemed like... It just seemed limp. It seemed flaccid to me. I don't know. I don't even care to give feedback at this point. Yeah.

It's limp, man. Good luck fixing the game. I hope it becomes better. I am not interested in being part of prime. It's so sad that like he just, you know what's so sad. Like this is the worst thing a game can have. It's like, you know that a game still has hope and it still have passion whenever this video is 47 minutes long and it's him mad the whole time. But like him, it's like, I don't, I don't know.

Just fucking I got. I need to move. with my life. Yeah, this is like an actual breakup. Like, it's like, fuck. To fix the game and I'm not interested currently in playing this season. I will try it in the next season when it comes out. Yes, the app. Being said, I'm going to play a game today that I think will be fun, which is Power World. And I'm probably going to make a completely fresh start and try it hardcore solo. One death, brand new world. And that's just because that's what I feel like sounds fun today. My try.

Try and shroud it as well. That's a great game. I'm going to make content on things that I currently am actively enjoying. God bless you, people playing D4. I can't do it this season. I can't do it. Once I go back to ARPGs, there'll probably be POE and then last epoch in February, unless something changes going into the future about Diablo 4.

But that's about it. I'm not really going to drag this one out to eight minutes for the ad revenue or anything like that, because to be honest, I'm just bored and over the whole thing. Oh, yeah. And that's about it. So see you on the live streams. You might even see some live streams on YouTube and me playing other games as well, because at this point I'm just going to move on.

Later. Wow. How sad.
