Trying to figure out how to respec in Diablo 2? A quick initiation for those who aren’t RPG diehards – respec simply refers to the process of refunding and reallocating things like skill and attribute points that are common to the genre.

Handcop is a work in progress “fist person shooter” that’s just as neat as it is horrifying. This wacky prodecurally-animated cop hand has three legs and chest hair for goodness sake.

I spend roughly 90% of my free time watching what the YouTube algorithm offers me. I’ve not been radicalised yet, although I do now refer to any shopping I buy as a “haul” and end all my conversations by thanking Skillshare.

If there’s one thing I hate in this life, it’s having to lift my hand onto the Esc key so I can press it to skip logos. Ideally I only lift my arms to deliver food to my maw, or to express my lack of care. So it’s nice that someone has already identified which
