How to Prepare for D͏i͏a͏b͏l͏o͏ 4͏͏͏ Release (Grown up Edition) | Asmongold Reacts

[@Stratocaster42]

Step 1: dump wife Step 2: abandon children Step 3: quit job Step 4: stop seeing friends (jk you dont have any)

[@Balloonbot]

Fuck, now I have i get a wife and kids or i can't even do the first two steps

[@makillafofilla101]

You right

[@itstime5138]

Step 5: Kill Diablo

[@viralspiral5052]

in asmonds case: step 1: get dumped by wife

[@Jaguar-s7f]

This is overly negative. Realistically, you buy the wife an expensive gift to keep her off your back, you buy your kids copies of the game so you can play with them, you take a couple of vacation days and don’t worry about friends because they are highly highly overrated.

how to prepare for Diablo 4: 1. Meditate for a clear mind 2. Ignore the release 3. Do something else 4. after a few months look again if anyone is still playing it and making content out of it. 5. if still popular, go buy it, if not then nothing of value was lost.

This video isn't just a video about preparing for Diablo 4 Gentlemen. This video is a guide to a happy life. If you never put your crap off, and you always do what you know is right and keep up with your chores/tasks. You'll have WAY MORE FUN while you're gaming. Because you won't have to live with the fact that you're a huge piece of shit. Get your stuff done, quit putting things off! What did you do when you were a kid? You SUFFERED all day in School, then FINALLY you got to come home and unload all the stress into the game. You don't have the stress anymore because you put everything off and idolize video games. If you only ever have fun, fun becomes the norm, if fun is the norm. THen everyday life is meaningless = depression. So go suffer, mow the yard for your family. Go do something you don't want to do. Suffer through it, get a sense of accomplishment, and then gaming will feel fun again, because you've earned it. God Bless Brothers.

[@phil9256]

One thing I have learned playing new releases is I will no longer be taking time off using my sick time for a game. I have always regretted wasting a sick day thinking I could have waited till I was out of work. Its just not that serious. It used to be but then I realized I just wasted a day for something that is going to be there.

Basically go above and beyond will make everyone happy and they can't be upset I'm locked away for a few days without being seen haha. I do plan on taking a break every now and then and go for a walk at least once a day to keep the mind fresh.. it's not all about camping at your computer you got to look after yourself or you won't get the most out of it.

Another franchise ? hum... any that is not a mmo would be a good start (from software, cd red projekt, i don't know, franchise that actually see customers as "gamer" instead of "self printing money product" ) what i meant to say is, any real adult with a little self control and a mind bigger than a pinuts would just wait a couple month before just throwing $ out the window, i'll take it too eventually, once i see the product with a clear trajectory has to what blizzard will do with it. Being hyped is a thing but being an adult is another, has far as i know every games that came out these past 15 years where all "the best games ever", the safe move would be to go play another franchise and by the time you finished with it diablo IV should be all fixed up from it's launch state, and be on rails with a real good idea of where it's going. Mind that i don't dislike the game, i have played the beta and it was fine, the animations where very good and i think that it could be a great game, but i just won't throw cash at it like i saw my lord and savior, that would be stupid knowing blizzards accomplishment the safer path with my money is always the best path.

Not a problem. Solved this long ago. I am early retired, I live alone, no kids, dont care about my family, except my mom (dad is dead). All my friends are online only, who play games aswell. I have nothing going on at all, that needs my attention at any time infact. At worst i need to shop more food in order to not die, or get ill so i cant play. And all my "chores" are always done instantly when needed. I dont wait around, i'll do it right away as fast i can, so i can play more. Plus im a neat freak so my house it always clean & orderly. Heck i barely sleep 5-6 hour a day, just in order to play more. i dont need more sleep, i aint moving much. I got enough energy to stay awake with only 5-6 hours sleep. This aint a joke, i play 12-14 hour+ a day (done it for decades) and rest of time while awake i watch tv series/ movies on streaming services. All i need, i love it. Im a introvert clearly. :)

For me and what i have experienced before, i don't like to rush games that i really like or waited along time for. yes diablo isn't a single player game and it has a end game content. i don't give a damn, i'll play at my own pace, i'm not a cc or a streamer who has to rush for enjoyment of others. i'm gonna play it like crazy the first weekend (no i won't pay 20$ more for early access bs) but i'm not gonna miss work or hide myself from my friends or family. in essence, i'm a 34 yo who doesn't want to abuse himself to play a game he was into since he was a teenager.

took 2 weeks off when New World released

[@jamesyoung7400]

As an Adult, I took off of work from Friday to Weds and if I felt like it I could have taken the month of June off and have time to spare. So, even if I get disconnected on Friday I don't care its not as bad as NOT being able to play the thing I want to play on release because I didn't bother to plan ahead.

Calling my boss on release day. No answer. Then I log in to the game; I see my boss’s login as a gamer tag on my server. 😂😂😂

Honestly, I'm done taking days of for releases. I'll wait a week, when it's still plenty popular, but people have mapped every system out and there's a general consensus of "They got us again," or "this is pretty good!"

In real life: - don't care about seasons - don't force yourself to play at launch (you won't need pre-order) - coordinate weekends with other working friends (at least a month beforehand) - organize quick dinner options for the given weekends - coordinate dinner timing with friends - don't plan housekeeping for the given weekends (don't be that guy: "Sorry, gotta do this and that at 6pm till 9pm") Enjoy at your own time and pace.

I can't take off. my boss and everyone on the office was told we can't take it off because we all are hyped for the game

I realized I was old and no longer a gamer maybe, when he said 12 hours a day is casual… damn.
