Look, I'm old.

Learning how to play Pathfinder 2nd edition is relatively easy for people who play tabletop RPGs, especially Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

While Diablo 4 is the game we've all been waiting for since its announcement at BlizzCon 2019, it's fair to say that Diablo 2 is the game that truly put the Diablo franchise on the map.

I think it's fair to say that Diablo 2 defined the Action Role Playing Game genre  in a way no other game in that genre can claim.

I mean, not all ladybugs are great — the Mexican Bean Beetle, for example, is kind of a hazard to agriculture cause it’s herbivorous and eats all the crops — but in general, ladybugs/ladybirds/ladybird beetles are a friend to humanity and cute as a button on top of it.

I suppose I should admit that the part where they catch aphids and lay their eggs inside them is less awww, so adorable and more I have torn nature’s mask and found it woven of horrors, but I’m sure they’re probably grossed out by us too sometimes.

After the Diablo 4 early access and open beta weekends, I keep thinking about the way that the action RPG juggernaut has translated open world gameplay into its isometric oeuvre and I realized that the game has a very similar feeling to games like the original Fallout or its modern incarnations.

It's a big year for Dungeons & Dragons, with a total of five new D&D books scheduled for 2023 as well as the soon-to-be-released Honor Among Thieves movie.

I've been thinking more and more about the question -- "Is Diablo 4 an MMO?" -- since I currently play World of Warcraft, am pretty heavily invested in Diablo 3, was into Diablo Immortal for a couple of months there, and was just utterly charmed by the open beta for Diablo 4.

Well, I liked the Diablo 4 open beta, anyway.

It’s Thursday. Whoo boy, that was almost very embarrassing.

What? No, you almost forgot to write the Queue because for some reason you thought it was Wednesday.

Time to crank The Only Thing They Fear Is You and write this bad boy as fast as I can.
