There’s often a section in the build guide for hardcore. For example, I’m following the shadow minion necro guide and it has a section for hardcore adjustments. There’s also a link in that section for a general hardcore guide.

Also, good luck! I think I would be on about my 15th character by now if I’d gone hardcore.

Honestly, the game might not be for you. I had a similar experience with it. I kept thinking it would change up a gear at some point but it never does.

Floating around in that ship and reading bits of text is basically all you do.

For me it’s always ‘bus-in-ess’

I played the trilogy a couple of years ago. I’m a big fan of the original games and was mostly happy with the reboot.

For me the second instalment was the best of the reboot (rise of the tomb raider). The stealth is improved making it actually viable to clear whole areas using just stealth. I also loved the environments of the second one.

Overall I really enjoyed the 3 games but the balance between combat and puzzle solving was too far towards combat to make them feel truly like tomb raider games. The puzzle solving should have been a bit harder as well to truly make them feel like tomb raider games.

There’s some great quotes in this article, my favourite was:

‘George Butlin, director at the UK Loose Leaf Tea Company, echoes that sentiment and professes a "profound aversion to this kind of innovation".’

I can just imagine him saying ‘profound aversion’ whilst holding a China tea cup with his pinky sticking out.

I’ve got a better idea, let’s just ban human beings!

Thank you for that information.

‘Recipe’ is the spelling you’re looking for.

Diablo 4. I’m gonna wait quite a while for this one I think. Firstly I’m not willing to pay the price it is right now but mostly because the game needs to get better. It took a long time for Diablo 3 to turn in to a decent game.

Starfield. I’ll definitely be giving this one at least a year, probably more. I’m expecting it to be riddled with bugs at release, possibly even borderline unplayable.

Sexy trump isn’t real, sexy trump can’t hurt me.

I’ve been using airvpn for 5 years or so and can confirm the port forwarding works for me.

I had trouble with their vpn client app (eddy or Eddie I think it’s called) so I just switched to the OpenVPN client and have had zero problems since then.
