Have fun... and if you find anything notable, let me know.

If you get to Diablo II some day, you'd be able to hunt for quite a few very very things. There are items so rare that I have never actually seen one drop in all the 13+ years I've played this game. They are so rare that some players even doubted if they existed at all. And this whole thing is a lot more randomized than, say, WoW, where bosses usually have a defined array of rare stuff they could drop.

Oh, they can't really build such an ambient game because there won't be enough space for all the drama, manly tears and other modern tropes that we see in gaming nowadays. I've heard there was some modern Thief game, by the way, but I've only heard bad things about it. I guess it was a little too modern...

I try to find a good balance of light and dark, cause when it's too dark, I have trouble finding some keys on the keyboard. After all these years I should probably be used to finding the keys without looking (and I usually, if I am focused enough), but I feel more comfortable when I can see them. One reason I could never master the standard Bulgarian keyboard is that the keys are in different colors, preventing me from seeing them properly (my eyes focus on the English letters - it's a force of habit), plus their positions seem pretty arbitrary. That's why I use the so-called phonetic Bulgarian, which is based on the English letters (e.g. "a" is still "a", "e" is "e", etc.) and thus uses the same familiar positioning. In the standard Bulgarian set, only the letter "E" coincides with its English counterpart... the others are, well, let's just say "F" is "O" and "D" is "A". Confusing, isn't it?

Sadly, most modern Doom-related projects have too many modern features for my taste. "Yeah, we're trying to make this vanilla-style map, but it absolutely requires a limit-removing source port. Oh yes, it may have a few 3D floors here and there. Ooops. You'd best play it with Brutal Doom anyway. Everybody does that, duh."

All these years. And you have yet to invite me to a romantic dinner. See, if it were Raadec, he would have done so already - he is a real gentleman :P

When it comes to collecting, I was fairly lucky throughout this year - found several things that I had pretty much accepted were unfindable. I'd been hunting some of them down for 10 years at least, based on old journal notes I found. Past Me would have been so happy, if he knew. You know, perhaps we should also try streaming again some day. You made such a great start in Diablo, it would be a shame to waste it... As I mentioned above, it is exactly the kind of game that has extremely rare things that drop only to "the Chosen Few".

Purity? Are you crazy, just install Brutal Doom :D
