Fat, purple-haired butch lesbian with insane vocal fry is playing Diablo 4 co-op alongside clueless younger colleague. Highlights include:
-
spamming basic attacks almost the whole time while resource bar is full
-
dying on the easiest difficulty level
-
talking about how both women are products of university game design mills
-
they are both dungeon designers (dungeons are possibly the worst designed aspect of the entire game)
It’s a complete dumpster fire of a video. Tons of people are taking it as total confirmation that diversity hiring practices are what ruined Diablo 4. There are a few detractors in the comments, but they are mostly getting roasted.
Huge mistake by Blizzard. The interviews with various diversity hire devs were bad enough, but there was some plausible deniability there. This is two clear diversity hires, with rubber-stamped credentials, struggling to competently play their own video game. They’re showing off the terrible dungeon design while boasting that their sole contribution to the game was dungeon design. It’s like every anti-woke turbo hitler’s dream come true.
Back in the day, Blizzard employees would go home from work to play Starcraft or WoW just because they were that much fun to play.
Can anyone say the same about nu-Blizzard's games?
Remember when people ended up getting fired because they played wow so much they skipped work? They haven’t had that problem in over a decade
Oh that's still an issue, but its due to raw addiction instead of fun addiction. Old days you'd skip work to run more dungeons with the boys and level more.
These days you skip work because the Rare Spawn with the 1% drop mount hasn't spawned yet for you to get your daily CD off it and you still have 17 more Rares to kill today on top of it because you hung out with the family and missed their last spawn time.
I still remember the sad sacks that took out vacation days for the launch of Diablo 3.
Hey, those of us who got past the Error screen made fucking bank. I made like 1500$ off the RMAH that first month, because fucking vendor trash yellows not worth picking up would still sell for like 20$ a pop to idiots and 3rd worlders.
I literally never paid for a Blizzard product again (because cashing out they took like 30-40% cut from battle.net money to real money) for just playing D3 a few weeks on launch before the meta shook out. And all of it just doing what I was going to do anyway and having a good time with the boys, before we beat Inferno and there was nothing to do.
I'm sure you didn't spend all of your vacation days staring at an "Error 37" screen like the Diablo fans did. Now that was some premium copium, back when Blizzard could do no wrong.
Back in my day, games were made by fucking rockstars hammering keyboards with their massive erections while flying down the highway in their Ferrari F40s as bimbos would cling to the side, all while promising to 'make us their bitch' in their marketing material.
Ah, back in the day when Stevie Chase did a Playboy shoot in the id corporate conference room. The 90s were awesome.
And that PCXL issue she was in. chef's kiss
I really miss those days.
