Man that just sorta reminds me of how when I was in middle school I listened to lots of electronic stuff.
Trance, D&B, Jungle, Industrial whatever you call stuff like Aphex Twin and Peaches and Lords of Acid.
But that was weird back then. People would make fun of that stuff.
Now electronic stuff is the most popular stuff.
It's always so weird how that works. The same stuff that was made fun of is now popular and listened to by those that made fun of it before.

In the 90s hip hop fans wouldn't even learn the names of electronic genres out of condescension and everyone resented white guy rock n roll for sucking the oxygen out of the room
Now hip hop is on the back foot and flagrantly drawing production techniques from electronic music and rock is effectively in baby boomer-esque retirement

Hooray, SMN are getting changes in 4.06 and likely more system-level ones in 4.1 (also MCH but who cares about them?)

Certainly not compared to set bonuses for d3, either
I'm not sure how you can credibly claim that it isn't a loot treadmill. It's a game of finite length that you play over and over, that is very click click click, and the goal it to level up and get algorithmically calibrated loot drops to fight more algorithmically leveled monsters.
The goal is finding the best mathematical formula to produce damage, which is only 1/5th loot.
Your gem combos and passive skill picks are more important than loot.

Old school rock, yeah. But I would say there are a lot of indie rock bands taking nods from two major veins at the moment: electronic/dance music and 50s R&B, Pop, and Soul.

Actually not so much.
There IS a loot grind aspect, but it's downplayed compared to D3 or WoW.
I'd argue just a flat no on that
Theres nothing like Ancient versions of uniques
Most builds maybe need one or two unique items as opposed to rares, and you're not beholden to perfect rolls on that item to continue progressing content - you need it because it mechanically changes something a la runes in d3
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

Well yeah, but you do need to find some of the things.
But yes, I'd say your time spent looking for upgrades to current gear is minimal.
The fact that the gem system has a mathematical language built into it is awesome and totally nerdy.

If the water isn't diamond filtered then what is even the point?
I only drink coffee that is made from the melted snows of machu pichu and coffee beans that have been delicately malted within the chest cavity of pharoah mummies. Also the coffee plantations are burned after harvest and the farmers blinded

If you're not drinking your coffee black are you really even drinking coffee? I'm no one true processman but black is the one true light.
It really truly depends.
Certain coffees are fantastic black, but frothed milk and tar-like coffee come together in beautiful ways.
Some greek coffees almost demand a little sugar due to the sludge-like quality (note the sludge is fantastic but you have to know what you are getting into).
I will doctor a cup of Maxwell House because that is some garbo coffee and at that point I am drinking it for the caffiene and not the pleasure of the coffee.

black french press coffee, good, true
also good, though! Cubanos and Vietnamese coffee and espresso and lattes and soy dirty chai on ice and rather than let our differences divide us, let's come together and tweak the fuck out on socially-acceptable functional and recreational stimulants

Yeah, and the Atlas is a mapping system of progressing levels with an actual end boss after Acts 1-10. You can play all the content of the game without repeating anything.
Like, there's endgame goals and people usually play up to that. Then the real endgame becomes building your own viable build that's different enough from others that exist, once you have the resources to experiment with it.

Well still you are going to be replaying the treadmill once you finish all that content. I dont think it's a bad thing its just the kind of game those loot based games are.

so do i just post pics of Phish lot now, or
I played it a few weeks ago
It seemed okay but kind of the same as d2 / marvel / grim dawn / etc
I know, Weird War 2 was a thing.
But Call of Duty going back to its roots with a WW2 game, and shoving that in the mix as a selling point broke me a little bit.

On the other hand sugary, creamy coffee is bad for you and so perhaps anti-dessert-coffee snobbery serves a useful social function

More specifically it is Diablo 2 loot treadmill with FFX web level thing but way larger and more intense.
Give me my brain dead Diablo 3 hack and slash any day.
Also Blizz let me use my controller on PC diablo 3. It works sooooooooooooooooooooo well.
-carnivals are, about as you'd expect, extremely fly-by-night operations and everyone is on the run from the law or child support or something
-carnies look out for one another; a guy he'd known for a week gave him a trailer when he left the carnival to continue on his cross-country roadtrip
-I'm never riding a carnival ride again
