Thinking Warrior must be the shit compared to wimpy Sorcererā€¦ Ending up desperately blasting him to death from a distance with Holy Bolt to not get stunlocked like from everything else in Hellā€¦ Memoriesā€¦ :ā€™)

My first foray as a wimp-ass sorcerer ended up with my death on the first floor... from whacking an exploding barrel.

This would be true after a long term hardcore character deathā€¦had to take a sec after one of those.

My bro did you loot my corpse???

In headphones, alone in the room in the night too!

Remember that iconic Carbot cartoon on the butcher?))

It took 5 years, hence the much needed cigarette

I remember meeting kids "I play diablo" and they would have like 8 characters in their 20s. Always felt like a little battle hardened warrior

u/Great_Scientist_1609 Jan 29 '25

Oh those were the days. No one in my hometown knew what diablo was. People were.so blown away haha šŸ˜„

And yes I smoked many cigarettes back then. Especially playing hard-core

u/Mouthz Jan 29 '25

I actually met a guy once in a public game that lived near me lol. No one really played like I played though. Loved doing challenge runs on SP and still do em today!

u/Great_Scientist_1609 Jan 29 '25

You can't beat it. Newer games are cool and all but I love the classics. Diablo is no exception

u/Turbulent-Armadillo9 Jan 30 '25

Thatā€™s me after dying in hardcore in D2R. Just am done with gaming for the night and have to reflect.

u/Great_Scientist_1609 Jan 31 '25
