    D2 listed as slop? SLOP!?!?!? Who created this horrible meme and where do they live? My baseball bat wants to have a few words with them.

      D2 listed as slop? SLOP!?!?!?

      D2 was the OG slop. Rogue-like before Rogue-like was cool. An endless, graduated grind with minimal story and hundreds of hours of “We’ve changed the color palette slightly so you know the thing you’re click-spamming is more difficult to kill” monotony.

      It’s the kind of game you play through once with glee, then get halfway through the second run at higher difficulty, gasping for air at 2am on a Wednesday night with exams the next day, and ask yourself “Holy shit, what have I done with my life?!”

      Then you jam the uninstall button, snap the CD, and bury yourself in your bedsheets dreading the hangover after your brief moment of lucidity fades.

        Yeah, uninstall and snap the CD definitely not buy a couple more copies so you so you multi bot farm with D2jsp for perfect uniques. Absolutely definitely not that never ever didn’t happen. Nope.

        To those of us who played thousands of hours of D2 this is a comical take
