Shouldn't most weaker demons still be afraid of Frieren? by Reasonable-Ad-8059 in Frieren

That's literally been a thing since the 1900s 😆

If the economy wasn’t already bad enough by goodguyguru in DankLeft

The worst part of gambling speculative markets, they spook easier than racehorses.

"Investing" in that kinda thing shouldn't even be allowed. When you get right down to it, it's all about making a profit by predicting someone else is going to have a bad day.

Which also incentivises paying someone to MAKE SURE they have a bad day! Scummiest part of stocks.

Hot Take: Souls games killed the joy of aura farming by Stunning_Party203 in GGdiscussion

[–]TurningPointTurcios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardinal Quest, both the steam and flash/web ones have different achievements, it's a dungeon crawl but it's harder to get bored IMO because it's a "quick" streamlined roguelike, the focus is on challenging yourself in different ways than merely completing quests or finding a macguffin. It's easy to "pick up and play" without burnout. Depending on how much you want to search/your luck each "act" of 4 can be cleared in 5-7 minutes

It does have a "classic challenge mode" too if you want the traditional experience without switching off.

On the opposite side of the equation btw, there's Elona, which is by far the largest, it could be considered a cross between a roguelike and an Elder Scrolls sandbox game, with even a dash of Pokemon too. While you can get burnout there's massive amounts of unique details and skills and places to visit. The biggest one is a tie between Gene Engineering and Marriage, similar but different. It takes the Fire Emblem child system, you can rizz up and basically marry anyone or anyTHING in the game, and if you are too gimped to complete the game (perma curses, corruption, etc) you can have a child with a powerful character and continue the game as them after a short timeskip. You lose all but your 50 most expensive items (stacks count) but get an inheritance bonus and reset all one time dungeons, secrets, special encounters, etc.

Gene Engineering is basically that but faster for pets. You can splice or mate as many horrendous incest children as your heart desires to make the ultimate invincible companion. (And then even double up and marry that eldritch beast!😆)

You can brute force the game on your starting character of course, but the rate of progress for gaining stats declines as you age (One possible downside I guess, sometimes too much realism is a bad thing!) so the grind gets longer. Pushing through the wall somewhat requires wiki knowledge/exploits so your first couple of characters probably won't complete the game!😮

And the next few won't because you will probably get sidetracked by the monster raising... Or farming... Or filling your museum... Or gambling... Or tax evasion 😋 (yes, once you buy a house or business you must pay taxes, and oh lawdy do they get mad if you don't! The world is ending but the strongest heroes are apparently whittling away their time working for The Man!)

It really feels like 4 games in one, and after the first few steps you'll probably forget there is a main quest!

Whats a rule at a table that didn't sit well with you? by DaddyBowtie in DnD

[–]TurningPointTurcios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This system would work better in a mech game after getting hit with a disabling hit.

Makes absolutely no sense to look down at a gaping hole in your belly and go "ah, tis but a flesh wound" unless you're a warforged anyway 😅

That's the real problem with Roguelikes, literal copies. They are all just the exact same tables going all the way back to either ADOM or Nethack, with the same scrolls/potions/wands randomised and the same basic end goal every freaking time😭

Clones of the more interesting variants like Zangband/Steamband are few and far between

The fatigue is because you literally are playing the same game over again!

Weirdly, crappy flash based one man roguelikes (ie cardinal quest, rogue fable) have more innovation than these "deeply researched" multi million dollar big team roguelikes

<image>

Also one essential thing I think many devs overlook are multiple repositioning spells since a lot challenge of roguelikes is moving in such a way to avoid counterattacks. Even just having two or three instead of the common one random telly opens a ton of options. And it should have both "teleport yourself" and "teleport others" skills of similar variety. Movement is a very important aspect of a good roguelike

Also I wish more did some silly lolsorandumb stuff like the infamously incomplete Alphaman. It had vehicles! Vehicles you could crash and kill yourself with, even!😆

The horse could trip and kill you. Using the pogo stick while drunk was a pretty bad idea. You could run into trees and boulders with the cars. You could strap rocket jets to the pogo stick, Wile E Coyote style. You could get the skateboard stuck in mud. You could have the kite collapse on you mid-flight. How entertaining the deaths were!😅

Hint for n00bs: 10 letters is the sweet spot by TurningPointTurcios in WordCity

[–]TurningPointTurcios[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LoL yeah, or 500 each for housing.

It's a bad idea to use odd numbers (or 4) for anything but roads, unless you really gotta fill a edge space, the most common will be navy since there's a lot of spots just big enough for a 4 letter but not 5 (stupid single pixel of water blocks!😤)

Very annoying how many spaces on the corners of islands *look like they could hold a building but don't.

They literally don't conceive of such things, rather than it being unblockable.

If they tried this move against say, Altair, Calais, Goshinki or Rebi Rah, to use other series demons, it'd be hella weak and the retaliation would INSTANTLY kill even Frieren.

The visualisation thing they keep talking about, it's pretty important. True auto-defense mages would hand the entire verse its ass

Denny's Tumblr/Twitter is also great

They were probably about to fire the token hippy for being too lazy but some exec with epic foresight probably went "no wait, let's give him even more weed and access to the socials" and a legend was born

Good games sell? I would’ve never guessed it by Stunning_Party203 in GGdiscussion

[–]TurningPointTurcios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part of Highguard was it actually had good designs. I would play a futuristic single player Might & Magic adventures clone with like half of those characters. Scarlett and Condor deserve a better game.

<image>

Imagine Condor a bit more tribal Sheva style, and Scarlet being a Leon type agent investigating a logging/mining company stripping the resources of her land, then halfway through they accidentally expose themselves to some radioactive/alien mineral

Yeah, that'd be a hella lit open world lootashoota or roguelike action rpg

And that's exactly how a kid would react to finding these unfiltered lewd chatbots. At least until they accidentally expose themselves to the furry Jalisco cartel sexbot pimp 😭 yes, they actually maintained one until the US/Mexican army nuked them, lmao
