Anyone remember this? http://www.gamersoasis.net/backup/index.php?topic=16666.0. Get to relive that soon

I still have Atma, as thats how I setup my stuff and it works for me.  The main reason I'd go for PlugY is the other 2 unique charms Hellfire Torch and Annihilus http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/ucharms.shtml

I heard about Path of Diablo but don't know details.  You do need to do the /players8 if you want it on, or in between settings

In terms of videos, MrLlama is pretty cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gov7HccMGdA  if you google things about Diablo2 start or Diablo2 noob or tricks you'll get things.  I'd try to find a type of video content maker that doesn't annoy you.

Then I'd get you to ask yourself, why are you coming back to this awesome game after all this time?  What fun things are you looking to do?  Get a character or a few up high? max damage, find cool items etc? and make sure you are doing that

While we got the pandemic Under control here, luck had more of a role than officials doing the right thing https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300188106/government-dumps-damning-health-report-on-last-day-of-the-year

Things have changed a bit, and next year may well be the year I get my next new machine.  I'm horribly out of date on things.  I remember that website logical increments being quite useful around tiers and setups.  However I feel I'm a bit blind to "why" they make some of their choices.  Whats the benefit of some stock parts, vs spend an extra $50 or $200 for next bits up.

If I'm doing this properly I should probably get a new everything.  My current screen on my old PC was a bit old when I got it. 

I'll have a look around local pricing as things change a bit.

AMD/Intel for CPUs (I've never actually overclocked anything)
Motherboards? Does it really matter? Ideally I'll look for something that doesn't limit me to small numbers of RAM slots.  I don't normally get too much expansion stuff ..
RAM, whats minimum vs decent for the future? speeds?
RGB? lol?
Graphics?
HDD options?
Get a screen with all the Hertz and all the curves?
PSU?

Ideally I want to do VR, that alone has a few options

What do you think I should start dreaming about?

So what does everyone think about the bullshit from the top down, a mixture of denying reality, the lawsuits hope, the just sowing doubt which some will hold onto for years, and then the blantant "planning for his 2nd term" as if he has won in a landslide.  i'm a mixture of tired, annoyed and a bit scared at the same time.

Im an atheist but tomorrow I’ll be praying for you guys

Tenet: Excellent movie. There were bits I'm sure I'll need a second viewing to pickup.  There were bits I went Aha! when I put a few things together.  It was also cool that the trailer showed things out of context, and not all the things, so doesn't give away key things, just a few bits of "ooh this should be good" but followed up with "woah, they didn't mention that would happen!
