I’m using the DevilutionX client to play, thumbsticks work great https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX

I played Diablo 1 for a few sessions many years ago and always assumed keyboard + mouse would be the only way I’d play the games when I finally got round to them, but after playing IV on my Steam Deck I’m having the same difficulty adapting, but I think it’s just because I spend the majority of my play time using a controller. I’m playing all four games simultaneously at the moment:

• Diablo + Helltide (with DevilutionX) - 90% Steam Deck, 10% KB + M
• Diablo II Resurrected - 100% Xbox
• Diablo III - 100% KB + M
• Diablo IV - 90% Steam Deck, 10% KB + M

Ironically, III feels like it might be suited to a controller more than I and II, but I have it on PC and can’t find a good way to use a controller with it.

Either way I’m having a blast finally catching up with this series, I’m not sure what took me so long!

It was the same for me on Mastodon, I started regularly using it just as it all kicked off re Twitter. I got really tired of the term ‘bird site’.

After a couple of weeks that all died down. As others have said, ride it out, it won’t take long for people to stop posting about Reddit.
