Live like Linda!

When my family and I moved to Minnesota back in 2008 Linda and Kent were the first neighbors we met. They welcomed us like family. Linda quickly became a stand in grandmother for my young kids since all my family was 1,000 miles away! I had barely known her for 5 minutes yet found myself sitting at her kitchen island sharing a glass of wine and it felt like I knew her for a lifetime! We spent many a nights at that island 🍷

Linda had the ability to change the air in a room, she made everyone she met feel like the most special person in the world, she was always good for a laugh, a shoulder to cry on, and gave the best advice. The pain I feel since her passing is immeasurable....but Linda wouldn’t want any of us to be sad. In fact, she would hate i…

MMOexp Diablo 4: Bloodless Scream is a Unique Two-Handed Scythe that can be equipped by Necromancers in Diablo 4. As a unique item, it comes with powerful, fixed affixes designed to enable or enhance specific playstyles, particularly builds focused on Diablo 4 Gold cold damage and crowd control.

While affixes may vary slightly depending on item level or season updates, the core value of Bloodless Scream lies in its synergy with cold-based Necromancer skills. Typically, it boosts cold skill damage, adds chilling or freezing effects, and enhances resource regeneration, turning the wielder into a freezing force of death.

Equipping this scythe can fundamentally change how your build plays, enabling full control of the battlefield through chilling debuffs, and enhancing your minion effectiveness or corpse-related abilities.

How to Get Bloodless Scream in Diablo 4

Just like many high-tier Diablo 4 items, Bloodless Scream is not guaranteed to drop from any single source. Instead, Diablo 4 uses a randomized loot system, where item drops are determined by factors such as enemy type, location, difficulty level, and RNG (random number generation).

Here are the most efficient ways to obtain Bloodless Scream:

Random Drops in the World

Bloodless Scream can drop from:

    Elite enemies and bosses

    World events and Helltide chests

    Treasure chests scattered throughout dungeons

    Breakable containers like urns and corpses

Though it's possible to stumble upon this scythe by accident, the chances are slim. This is especially true on lower difficulty tiers, where the loot pool includes fewer uniques and rare drop rates.

Farm Echo of Varshan

If you want to actively target-farm Bloodless Scream, the most efficient method is by summoning and defeating Echo of Varshan. This endgame boss has a higher probability of dropping unique Necromancer gear, including the Bloodless Scream.

To summon Varshan, you'll need to collect Malignant Hearts and specific summoning materials obtained by completing seasonal or whisper tree content. Once summoned, defeating Varshan at higher world tiers greatly increases your odds of securing this powerful weapon.

This method requires preparation and coordination, but it offers the best shot at getting the scythe without relying entirely on random open-world drops.

Play on Higher Torment Tiers

The Bloodless Scream can drop at any difficulty tier, but the drop chance scales with world tier. That means:

    World Tier 3 (Nightmare) introduces Sacred versions of items.

    World Tier 4 (Torment) offers the highest chance for Ancestral Unique items like Bloodless Scream.

If you're farming efficiently on Torment, not only do you increase your chance at scoring this scythe, but you'll also benefit from better XP gains, more loot overall, and a higher drop rate for other cheap Diablo 4 Items.

Thanks for the memories…….

Doug and I met Linda when she and Kent began dating. We loved her right away and the two of us girls clicked as friends. Getting together with Kent and Linda was always some kind of fun adventure that included….boating in Marion, Il (where our husbands stranded us on the beach for a couple hours) or attending our husband’s class reunions, or skiing in sub zero weather, or biking in WI (for all of a few miles), or swimming with our kids in the frigid lake waters of MN, or driving from Miami to Key West. Wherever we were our time together was filled with laughter and fond memories were made.

I will remember Linda as the perfect hostess with the mostest. She made you feel welcome….like family! She was a great cook and I always came away with a recipe. I loved her laugh, her smile, her funny storie…

MMOexp COD BO7: Black Ops 7 continues the series' tradition of exploring psychological warfare, espionage, and secret military operations. According to early leaks and developer interviews, the story picks up in BO7 Bot Lobbies the early 1990s, following the aftermath of the Cold War. Expect global tensions, shifting alliances, and morally ambiguous missions that test the player's decision-making.

The single-player campaign is being described as more grounded, with an emphasis on tactical realism and player-driven choices. Branching paths and moral dilemmas will return, giving players multiple endings based on their decisions, similar to Black Ops 2, but more refined. Whether you're infiltrating bunkers in Eastern Europe or navigating political conspiracies in Washington D.C., the narrative aims to blend historical authenticity with speculative intrigue.

Multiplayer Reinvented

Multiplayer remains the beating heart of Call of Duty, and Black Ops 7 is looking to reimagine it without losing the series' signature intensity. Here are some key changes and features players can expect:

Tactical Combat Evolves

The devs are reportedly introducing a new movement system that balances speed and realism. Sliding, tactical sprinting, and vaulting are getting tuned for a smoother experience, with less reliance on overly arcade-style mechanics and more emphasis on strategic positioning.

Operator Customization

While recent titles like Modern Warfare have leaned into operator systems, Black Ops 7 enhances this with deeper customization, allowing players to equip operators with distinct passive traits, unique gadgets, and backstory-specific unlocks.

Classic Maps Return, With a Twist

Treyarch is reviving fan-favorite maps from Black Ops 2 and 3 but redesigned for the new engine and gameplay flow. Rumored returning locations include Raid, Standoff, and Firing Range, each updated with dynamic weather effects and destructible elements to change the pace of engagements.

Weapon System Overhaul

Black Ops 7 introduces a modular Gunsmith 3.0 system, allowing deeper control over attachments, recoil patterns, and even bullet types. Expect a more meaningful weapon progression system with cheap Bot Lobby BO7 in-game challenges that unlock performance-based variants.

Special Memories

Beautiful lady! When Blair and I would come to Minnesota for a visit, wedding or just to get out of the Florida hot sun, we would try to get together with the Phalen's and Byers. We had such a fun time together, laughing, a few cocktails and just spending time together. We were just in Minnesota end of October and realized Linda was in the hospital. Our hearts were broken and all we could do is pray that her pain would go away. Everyday I think of her and tears are in my eyes. So young and full of life but she was also a very tough women to fight and fight. She will be deeply missed but our memories will live in our hearts forever.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing…

Sending Much Love

It is with great sorrow that we learned of the passing of Linda. It surely is a tragedy that such a beautiful and courageous lady was taken from us at such a young age. Linda did so much for her patients, friends and family and I'm sure the empty feeling you have in your hearts will last forever.

She will suffer no longer; may she rest in peace.


Sisters Mary Vinard and Margaret Rogiers send along their deepest condolences.

Kent, when my parents packed me off every summer to the farm to pester your family I will always consider you the brother I never had. I share your sense of grief and sorrow with Linda's passing.

God Bless Kent!


God Bless Robert, Shannon and Candace and their beautiful families. God Bless and keep the wonderful grandbabies. God Bless Linda's treasured friends.

Special Memories


Linda...What a special person and Best Friend of both Karen and I.

Kent, We will always cherish the memories we have with you and Linda. All of great Purina Trips that we spent fun times together, sometimes doing crazy things. We are so glad you came to visit us at our new home in Las Vegas April, 2019 (some of the pictures below, when we went to the Bellagio) . We had lots of conversations and a little wine. So happy we came to stay with you and Linda this summer at your condo, just before you moved to your new home. Then the time we spent together at the Reunion. Karen and I were truly saddened when Linda left us, but she will always be in our hearts. She was truly a special person. Kent, please come and stay with us, whenever it works for you.…

Sioux City Memories

Linda was such a fun person to be around, as she always radiated light and positive energy. I have many fond memories of all of us kids playing together on Alpine Ave. and Walden in Sioux City. Kent and Linda always made me feel welcome. Some of my favorite times at the Phalen house were dancing to Boy George in the living room (mostly spinning in circles until we got dizzy and fell down), playing with their dog Daisy, watching Poltergeist for the first time (still the scariest movie I've ever seen), Linda helping me make a Valentine's Day box for the school party because my mom was not artistically inclined, and who could forget Linda making Robert's amazing vulture costume for our 2nd grade Bird Show at Nodland with the giant, red paper mache head! It was so nice to reconnect with Linda and Kent in the Twin C…

Best ‘Bonus Mom’ examples…

I met Linda when i was 6. She was my BFF’s, Shannon’s, mom. i don’t know when I officially started referring to her as my ‘bonus mom‘ but I know it felt like she just always was. Every summer Linda would drive hours back and forth to pick me up/drop me off so that I could visit Shannon in Wausau. It would always just be me and her (Shannon was working at Wendy’s or at Karate or someplace each time 🤔). We’d listen to the oldies station and she’d do her goofy dance moves. We‘d chat and she’d listen.❤️ Linda was the first one to know something wasn’t okay with me (right before being diagnosed with type one). i remember being in her kitchen and getting the ”look” “now Megan McPhalen, you’ve look like you‘ve lost 10 pounds in a week.” She was worried and thought I was trying to lose…

Halloween

I would have sent this to you, mom, as it completely sums up my childhood with you-I'd get so mad at you- specifically thinking of Jasmine when you "ruined" the sexyness by making me wear a sweatsuit underneath 🙄😂
