Video Games
What makes you prefer single-player over multiplayer, or vice versa?
Right now, the two games battling for supremacy atop my personal heap of video games I'm trying to play are Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3, while I've sort of taken a break from World of Warcraft for a while (although that gets harder every passing day).
What do you wish your favorite games stole from each other?
I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 and Diablo 4 and, man, if you'd told me around 25 years ago that the two biggest games of 2023 would be a Baldur's Gate game and a Diablo game, I probably would have actually believe you -- which isn't something that could be said of most series.

How much work do you think it should be to reach max level in a game?
Honestly, my upward progress in Diablo 4 has hit a stretch I'd describe as “excruciating,” except that I feel that's not really strong enough.
Which features do you like to see on game remakes? Which games would you like to see remade?
Game remakes are a trend as of late, but just how much of a game gets changed in its new version seems to vary a lot from title to title.
How old do you think you’ll be when video games stop being something you can keep as a hobby?
