The fact that they repolished D2 into a game absolutely worth playing today on modern hardware, gorgeously really shows how good he was. And tbf, how good the graphics team is. D2R is a wonderful game, and the fact that the same old (but great) engine is actually still running is kinda incredible.
I wish OW2 was a gem like that. A friend and I have over 1k hours each into OW1.
I've never known anyone who wasn't a programmer who even knew the difference between say, PST and PDT. Like, if they didn't schedule it through a computer with up to date timezone code, I would confirm verbally.
And every one of the puzzles on there is by definition a solved problem. If the company went under and all of their code and website was lost, I would cheer.
The only sort function I could write is probably bubble sort. Why? Because more efficient ones out there already exist and I could google them and paste 1000x faster than I could write them.
Lazy programmers are efficient. Puzzle solving masturbators waste a ton of time.
