On vacation, I get a notice saying Diablo II Resurrected is up for pre-order.

Tell me I didn’t go snag that with a quickness. It was going to be released about three hours later. (Yes, I was late to the party).
They’ve got a new class — assassin. Yes, please. Sign me up.
I’m running around, beating up monsters, trying not to die cuz I’m only at level four so I have crap for weapons or attacks.
Then it hits me. My Diablo buddy, for the last however many years, died a little over a month ago.
Guess I’m going at it alone.
Sucks, but assassin!
