grinding to level 70 - diablo 4 addiction continues

After roughly nine hours grinding, he reaches level 67 in World Tier 4, but Tier 22–23 Nightmare Dungeons repeatedly destroy him. He experiments with Rend, Thorns, and Whirlwind, farms Helltides and Grim Favors for ancestral gear, and loses Cinders and Seeds after deaths. Diablo videos and streams yielded $170, roughly $100 after the $70 game cost; he favors them over personal topics and feels addicted.

The game shifts from enjoyable side income into his dominant, repetitive work and attention loop.
