Some quick thoughts on Diablo 4

After about 140 hours, some quick thoughts. Over 20,000 hours in PoE , about 140 hours or so in Diablo 4 .

A few months ago, I was able to get a new job after being unemployed. While this is great news, it means I can't play much anymore. I can only play for about 2-3 hours on weekdays, but I can play a bit more on
