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

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
also that cannot possibly have been two hours i haven't exercised yet today

#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.

Man, the bosses get *really* irritating at endgame in #LastEpoch. I'm too tired for this shit right now -_-; #Gaming

#LastEpoch: You can swap time periods during this fight to dodge attacks!
Me: Hey, that's kind of neat.
LE: So naturally every attack is a OHKO.

Went back and shuffled my Exploding Corpses build and I'm doing much better in corrupted dungeons now. Which is nice, I'd actually like to see the end of the plot so far.
That being said, actually getting there involves basically re-running all of the Alternate Histories twice, which is... A big ask >_> We'll see how long it takes me.
