I've played a couple more runs of Noita, but I keep dying to dumb mistakes (mostly hitting myself with my own weapons). I also keep trying to figure out how to kill the guardian that shows up if you damage the Holy Mountain area, but I've only managed to do it once by making a little tunnel it...

I mean, yeah, you are just spoiled :P. It does cost money to port these games and the mobile version is often cheaper than the PC version, so it's more like getting a standalone DLC that allows you to play on your phone. As far as I know most games that require you to pay up front don't sell...

I took Jaheira with me for a bit while trying to find an old acquaintance of her. It made me wonder how the game would be with 4 druids. Circle of Spores Druids can get 7 summons at level 9, plus an extra familiar each if they get access to them with a feat.

Compared to a lot of other games, $5 for 4 hours of gameplay isn't much.

That might work if you only play on Steam, but the more games you play the worse it'll be to find any specific one based on vague memories.

Keeping records in such a way that they're useful years into the future can be hard, because you don't know what you'll still remember. My kid asked me to find a game recently but she really only remembered going over lava and fighting a brain. I managed to figure out she was talking about...

I think this forum can only get away with being so relaxed because of its small user base (which generally behaves itself pretty well). It wouldn't work if there were more (unruly) users, it would be far too chaotic.

I'm not a big fan of roguelites that make you earn higher difficulties. The beginning is too easy and the hardest difficulties are too hard, but that means I never get a satisfying end to the game. I just stop playing when I get too frustrated to keep going.

Wyll got targeted by a Hold Person spell and was prompted to use his Counterspell., but I figured he'd probably make the save and if not, I'd definitely be able to break the concentration of the caster. This is how I found out you can't use revivify scrolls if someone dies on stairs, which was...

I believe the phrase is typically "If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing". Which is dumb, because piracy has never been stealing and there are plenty of things you pay for that don't result in you owning anything. Lifetime access with a one-time payment exists for other stuff as well.

Yes, that is one of the main mechanics that makes a game a roguelike. In some of them you don't even get to upgrade anything after you die, you just have to start from the very beginning with nothing to show for it but the skills and knowledge you've gained as a player. The ones where you do get...

The article has a mistake in it. It says The initiative only needs to meet the minimum thresholds for 7 EU nations. It currently meets it for 24 of them. It's also good to know that the 1 million minimum signatures requirement is for verified signatures. If after verification there are less...
