  • To be fair the way it worked in d2 was great. You had a closed battle.net which worked through official servers and an open battle.net where your local/twinked/hacked/whatever char could run rampant and play online with friends.

    The modded versions of diablo 2 by replacing actual gamefiles is also still possible if you play it off line/local lan.

    GaaS just sucks in that regard. A lot of great things came about by modding like in warcraft 3. Or even the superhero/Warcraft mods in counter strike 1.6

    Or the max Payne Kung Fu and whatnot mods. I had hours of fun on that. It wasn’t the way the developers intended it to be played. But who cares.


  • Driving 120km/h on the highway, upwind, uphill, airco usage all decrease your battery more than driving in ideal conditions.

    The WLTP is a scam number because ( the way I see it ) it’s how far your car can drive on a perfectly straight piece of road with a slight breeze from behind in the perfect temperature. Conditions which are never met in real life.

    In my old diesel car the usage between 120 and 90 km/h on a highway was neglectable. It’s the difference between 5.5/100km and 5.7l/100km.

    Driving 90km/h on a highway vs 120 will probably easily make 100km range difference in a Tesla…

    There’s a button on the Tesla where you fan see the estimated range based on your current power usage as well as what you’re losing power too ( acceleration/wind/uphill/… ).

    I’m not defending it. It’s just not as straightforward because it depends on more than your petrol car.

    Tesla model 3 long-range has a WLTP of ~600km. I think the furthest I’d give it is 450-500 in summer and ~ 400-450 in winter ( on a 100% charge). Normally you’d only charge it to 90% to increase battery lifetime unless you’re going on long trips.

    Not to mention the power your car loses just standing on your porch…
