So before I file that as the cheapest moment I’ve had in videogames, is there anything I could’ve done in that moment to win that situation?

Bro-tip: When faced with death, open a rift gate.

Or is a busy parent just kidding himself that GD is a game that can accommodate him?

Maybe this’ll help. it’s outdated, and atrociously formatted because of the forum shift, but a lot of it is still relevant - A how-to on getting loot efficiently on solo play + advice on levelling

• Don’t be afraid to stockpile on consumables and use them until you farm the rep needed for resist augments.
• Before you continue any further with this character, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND using a starting character which is compatible with either the krieg’s set, or dark one’s. This will be of tremendous benefit to you as you transition towards the late game.
• I’m currently doing a levelling journal on a dark one’s ritualist, but am nowhere close to the desolate waste (I’m on my way to homestead now). But maybe it’ll be helpful. [1.1.4.2] Dark one's ritualist megaTANK - (Naked farmer, C+, Ongoing levelling journal included)
