I know enough to be dangerous (or come across as knowledgeable) in a lot of things, but I'm not an expert or master in anything since I often enjoy learning things right up until the point where "mastery" starts. Off the top of my head (and looking around my room) some of my interests include: water cooled computers and computers in general, pc gaming (been playing Destiny for a long time, Diablo and C&C were my first loves, currently loving Diablo 4), headphones, speakers and other audiophile type gear, records/vinyl (currently trying to piece together my King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard discography and eagerly awaiting the new stuff from them), pinball (I've owned dozens of machines over the years, currently in the last stages of restoring a Seawitch), movies (have a huge collection of physical media but recently have only really been picking up Arrow and Criterion releases...everything else is automated through my NAS running Sonarr/Radarr/Plex), straight razors and traditional wet shaving in general, dogs, photography, videography, dungeons and dragons (we play 5e but I've also enjoyed pathfinder), synthesizers and electronic music production in general (with a focus on Eurorack/modular synthesis).....and uhhhh, yeah, some other stuff.
Happy to be here and looking forward to some new engaging conversations!
Also on that D4 train. I agree on the lack of "community feel", but I think that will get better as more people are levelling and getting past the msq. I know personally I've just been jamming around various dungeons and stuff, taking my time and enjoying the ride, but I also have friends who mashed out the msq in a couple days. I just got my horse and I'm like "huh, I guess I'm into the main story now?" lol.
One gripe I have is that balance patches are going to be coming soon I think, which is a good thing but it also means some of the stuff i'm learning now will be almost meaningless. As a sorc it seems like dps goes from fire at the weakest to arc at the strongest, but the cc of frost makes it a bit more meaningful. Early game I had almost a full set of fire legendaries and going from that to a completely fresh arc build was like night and day. Would love to see some balance brought in to help right that ship, but it feels like I'm learning bad habits at the moment.
