I have only played the open beta on a borrowed laptop.. my pc still needs an upgrade. But it is so awesome how much Diablo 4 means to you. And that in itself is worth following.
Hey there from Georgia! I just started getting into Diablo, and I love your channel! I also love what you and the devs are saying about diversity. As a person who has had epilepsy for 24 years, I feel most seen by characters who must face a chronic struggle that wears on them physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. In the case of Diablo, I connect with the sustained spiritual depletion these characters must cope with. This was the case recently when the Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred cinematic released. The way Neyrelle struggles to keep going but "must carry [her] burden alone" and "must get to Akarat's tomb" resonates so much with my experiences as an epileptic person. So much of an epileptic person's physical, mental, and emotional energy is spent chasing the seizure-free life, and there have been so many times when I have sounded just like Neyrelle. Epilepsy can be unpredictable, though. One second, you think you have control, saying "I control the stone." Then, life reminds you that you don't have control; like Mephisto says to Neyrelle, epileptics "hold the stone" but "control nothing." We can take steps to prevent and manage our seizures, but that's all we can do. This is especially true of people who have drug-resistant epilepsy. And just like Neyrelle's temporary loss of control over the soulstone, any lost of control during a seizure (if it's a convulsive one) has an impact on other people. 99% of my seizures are non-convulsive and not observable, which means the ones that are convulsive are all the more unexpected and terrifying for me and those around me. My condition can start to ooze out like Mephisto. If one thing happens that I didn't calculate for or anticipate, and I have one of these seizures, it burdens, even hurts, the people I care about. Until now, I didn't really have anyone that shared this passion for Diablo, or saw how important the game was from a diversity and inclusion standpoint. Thanks so much for what you do!
