Quote of the day:

"Awareness itself is the primary currency of the human condition, and as such it deserves to be spent carefully." 

~ Andrew Olendzki, “Busy Signal”

This weekend is the second weekend for the beta Diablo IV; the first one was last weekend for those of us who pre-purchased it.  I haven't dived in yet.  Like books that I have collected and not read, I have several games that I have bought, and some that I have downloaded, because I want to explore them, but have not taken the time and energy to do so.  Quite frankly, I find that my attention bandwidth is limited these days as I deal with my health, my family, and work.  Already firmly committed to a second life both in SL and Sovaria, plus actively playing through Diablo III's Season 28, there just isn't a lot of leftover bandwidth for a new game, especially one with a pretty steep learning curve.  

After all, there are priorities....
