Finally got the store to work :P Picked up Last Epoch, hopefully a good mindless grinding game.

Now I just gotta not get so obsessive I fry my brain
which is a thing I have done before >_>;
Getting further into the game, I'm finding the level of complexity very nice. High enough to be interesting but not so high that I'm worried about screwing myself over.
The plot continues to be very funny when looked at I'm the right light. The Time Artifact is basically a character in its own right, and it's kind of scatterbrained. Got all the way to a major plot boss and one of the other characters is like, "Use the Spear!" and I'm like what spear, this is the first I'm hearing of a spear and the Time Thingy goes, "Oops, hold on lol" and throws your ass back in time to go pick it up

It does kinda bug me that Diablo-likes only seem to have one kind of visual style. A little deviation from Grimdark Fantasy would be nice. #LastEpoch #Gaming

I think the Time Thingy has ADHD. It interrupted the Quest For The Spear to introduce the game's Infinite Endgame Dungeon. Dude, I sympathize but can we try finishing the active quest line first? #LastEpoch #Gaming

The thing about Diablo-likes is they reward high concentration and twitch reflexes
and while I am *capable* of those I also have a habit of long gameplay sessions
so after the first hour or so you can start to hear the gentle sizzling of my brain and watch my eyes shrivel up like raisins
cos i'm forgetting to blink
i gotta headache now

#LastEpoch 's plotline kind of dies a sudden death in the last half. You get thrown out of the timeline and into the Infinite Endgame Dungeon and the plot just kinda... Stops. You're traveling through alternate histories with VERY bare-bones stories interspersed with lots and lots of random dungeons
Which is annoying because I can see an obvious way to continue the mainline plot WHILE ALSO DOING THIS but they don't >_>

@CactuarJoe well that's frustrating

@xerozohar I'll cut 'em some slack because they're still updating the story, but it does kinda just... Straight up die >_>

The last couple alternate timelines are... Suspiciously better written than the other ones were. Interesting.
Switched to a full Exploding Corpses build, and let me tell you that is CRUNCHY. That feels good. You get enough stuff that triggers on minion death that exploding your own critters can heal, shield, and restore your MP all in one go. It's pretty wacky. #LastEpoch #Gaming

Okay well I can see the final boss from here, but it's behind more grinding. Which is kind of a crappy way to tell a story.
I get that a lot of the awkwardness of the plot is because the story was incomplete at launch and they expected to finish it with updates, but the result feels like a pretty good argument to *not do that.*

...Also I just noticed I've been flipping between "last" and "lost" epoch when talking about this game, which is embarrassing.
