Honestly I wouldn't mind a good ol' fashioned global group chat. I know there are moderation issues there, but I miss IRC and want more of that feeling elsewhere.

I should just go reinstall my IRC setup...

Actually, that's a good point - why is there no HN IRC?

There is a #hackernews on Libera.chat, and I believe I've seen a #ycombinator (or something similar) somewhere. No idea how official they are. But every HN-based community I've seen was a ghost town outside HN itself.

Does anyone see a book icon? Or are we meant to flip through a slideshow embedded in the website?

It is free for me from here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-45468-4

Instructions are misleading. If you click on the Issuu see full screen icon, you can read the whole book online.

This is interesting to me, because I always figured the Diablo series was prized for its moment-to-moment gameplay, rather than for its story or cinematics.

Blizzard cinematics have always set a high bar. The WoW expansion teasers are always phenomenal.

Their cinematics are pretty, but their plot is basically “spin the roulette wheel to find out which protagonist catches The Corruption.”

They were pretty but I mostly just wished to skip them..

Or just Warcraft III

What? The cinematics are absolutely incredible. Would definitely pay to watch a full Diablo movie.

what genres do you listen to, and have you ever been unable to find something you were looking for?
