just for the fs (while serving me a Holunderbeeren-Spuma) scrolled tru grannys blog until:

Diablo II borders on GOAT-status, too: addictive as crack in single-player, hardcore, PvP, LLD, player killing and coop modes.


granny obv never played this game.

I thought you were paraphrasing or joking, but that's real:

Diablo II borders on GOAT-status, too: addictive as crack in single-player, hardcore, PvP, LLD, player killing and coop modes.

Also:

But Diablo II is a great and deep game. It's arguably GOAT. Don't let the snooty role-players out there tell you any different.

The only weapon of note is Pale Justice. This holy avenger is only itemized if there is a Paladin in the party upon entry to the Artisan's District.

It itemized for my Paladin-less party.

Regardless of whether Lilura may or may not reconsider that opinion today, there's nothing controversial in saying that Diablo II is a deep game. It is likewise the best all around candidate for the GOAT Action RPG (I would nominate Path of Exile for this, myself, but it's much newer). It is the most enduring ARPG blueprint, and aspects of its design are still regularly imitated by new Action RPGs.

If you think it's funny, I would guess it's because you never actually spent significant time playing an Action RPG; the laughs are probably meant to conceal your ignorance of the matter.

Nah, since posting that overview I've posted 19 write-ups on Diablo 2 and my opinion hasn't changed.

Like many people, I can enjoy linear hack n slash (Diablo 2, Icewind Dale) all the way up to Jagged Alliance 2.

In addition, two receptacles flanking Ilmadia hold items drawn from random pools. We have a 20% chance of netting what is, at least power-wise, the preeminent ranged weapon on the Infinity Engine:



• Long Bow +4: Hammer. Bow, THAC0 +5, piercing dmg +4, sets ApR to 4 and stacks with other ApR sources. cf. ApR write-up.

And a 15% chance of netting the lordliest of IWD melee weapons:

Heh, I got both, and I never save scum for better loot.

I also charmed an Elemental (funny how they can't hurt each other) who held the bridge against five of the nine Fire Giants, while my two fighter guys used missile weapons on them.
I like when a battle plan is executed perfectly and I also got the best (although I didn't know it at the time) loot.

Most compliments I receive on the 'Dex are false flattery or backhands stemming from butthurt, so thanks guys!

I can't speak for the butthurt people, but the flattery is sincere.

So it went 1 to 2?

Actually, it's been about 200 per hour for the past week. You can joke and laugh about that all you like, but at the end of the day, you are a non-entity -- a Nothing -- in the sphere of commentary, being naught but a shitposter lost in the shuffle, and unread.

lilura vs. crpgaddict

source: leading SEO blogger on the planet

a few observations:

addict has been posting twice as long and has four times as many write-ups as lilura
addict enjoys mainstream support whereas lilura enjoys none at all
addict has 100s of followers whereas lilura disabled the feature (due to incompatibility with dynamic views)
addict has tens of thousands of comments whereas lilura disabled comments at 3k mark
lilura only recently added social media on the blog, and spurns social media presence
addict is formally listed in promotional directories whereas lilura is listed in none
addict has "crpg" in his name whereas "lilura" has no precedent in gaming
addict allies with other commentators whereas lilura is lone wolf and formally acknowledges the existence of no one else

despite that, lilura has 758 more organic keywords than addict. addicts keywords are dead EZ to get because there is no competition for old games. Many of lilura's keywords are "buyer" ones, yet lilura is unmonetized and bereft of donate begging

addict popularity rests more on outside support than lilura, which garners views the hardest way (Google authority rankings)

addict is loved everywhere whereas lilura is hated to the core on reddit, 'Dex and all relevant forums related to lilura commentary

despite that, lilura is almost as popular as addict

Really?
And are you sure it's not "Lilura is being edgy and confrontational on reddit, 'Dex and all relevant forums related to lilura commentary"?

The reasons for the hatred don't matter as it pertains to Google authority (the context at hand as per the above citation-comparison).

I'm friendly to those who are friendly to me. If someone's going to be snarky and unfair in their criticism of me or my blog, I'll bite back: an eye of an eye, all the way. Plus, I like debating anyway!

 

[octavius]

I don't think many hate you, but your style makes you wide open for nasty and sarcastic comments.
But as long as you know what you're talking about, at least people will respect you.

To be really hated you need to make political comments.

Heh, you should see my unpublished, archived blog-correspondence and some of the shit said about me here. It goes way beyond the rivalry of "combatfag vs. storyfag" and "elf vs. dwarf".

"I have detailed files."

But yes, I don't come here to talk about politics. And I don't come here to talk about people. I come here to talk about RPGs.

Hmm...I wonder how much hate mail CRPG Addict gets?

 

[Tweed]

Not enough.

 

[Lilura]

Hmm...I wonder how much hate mail CRPG Addict gets?

Probably none? But let's talk about RPG upheavals. When you've gamed through one, you're a completely different breed. From what I've read, the addict is not of Fallout stock.

RPG upheavals? you mean major shifts in RPGaming trends?
