I think what you’re talking about is mesh networking?

Agreed, it’s incredibly tedious. It also creates a really toxic “oh, we’re real programmers over here, JS devs suck” kinda vibe which can be incredibly unwelcoming especially to newer devs who might be seeking a community.

I’ve been getting started with Techtonica and continuing to play Diablo IV - looking forward to giving a new seasonal character a go in D4
