Fallout Shelter just got updated with a bunch of new crap like new locations, a new combat system and the ability to actually go outside your vault on quests to explore and get loot.

Wow, so... It's more like a game now? I don't even mean that as sarcastically as it sounds, I'm excited, if it's actually fun.

So for mystic castle has someone fogured out best worker optimization for money? Is it smelting gold or setting up mats to sell that high end cloth stuff?

Selling is never worth it from what I've seen (mats are 1/3 of their buy value, and equipment even less I think). If you want money then smelting gold is best. If you want mats then it's cheaper to make everything yourself. I didn't take time into consideration, only workers per amount made.

DotEmu just put most of its games on sale, which is nice because they've ported quite a few excellent classic titles from other platforms such as The Last Express, Another World, Little Big Adventure, Sanitarium and I Have No Mouth

That's right, mrkillboy, I went there. You think you're the only one who can sperg about Android game releases and sales? The nerve!

Also, the entire world is on fire about Pokemon Go and you lot are ignoring it entirely. What the dick?

No Muscles For The Majority

One of the finest adventure games ever made. The atmosphere is perfect, the characters are expressive, and the climax is incredible. Great voice acting, too; I could listen to Cath and Herr Schmidt banter all day.

If anyone is a fan of interactive novels, I highly recommend Delight Games. I've been playing it all day. First as a wizard, then as a teenager at zombie high school, and now as a drunk detective.

There's a new Adventure Time Card Wars game out called Card Wars Kingdom to coincide with the new Card Wars episode from last week. Alas, along with straight up going F2P it looks like they've also redesigned the game to resemble Hearthstone much more than the incarnation in the last game or on the show, which is a shame.

If you are on the fence listen to the three moves ahead podcast episode on it. Its not just a pretty or well written game, its legitimately a masterpiece of game design.

Nimblebit, I appreciate that you're trying real hard to make the Tiny Tower VIP package more enticing. But 40 bucks is 40 bucks. If there were options for No-ads or auto-elevators separately I might eventually break down and buy them for a few bucks. I had the VIP packs from TTV and old TT, but weren't those like 15 or 20? I mean, I guess if you're actually getting purchases you've probably determined it's the best price to keep food on your tables, so that's cool, but I just can't look at it without balking at the idea.

Anyone playing Hearthstone installed via the Amazon store been able to update to the new version from the last few days? When I launch it says I need to update but then takes me to the Amazon store page with no update and just an Open button that repeats the cycle.

Genuinely curious, not judging or anything but what would be the reason to get this game from the Amazon store instead of through the Play store? Or vice-versa, I guess.

If installed via Amazon, you can use Amazon coins for purchases. Coins often go on sale or have rebates (like get back 20% of what you spend), which can mean much better deals.

Exactly what Enigma said. I actually switched the install from Play to Amazon to spends some coins on it a while back. I had like 20,000 coins from all the free coins stuff that was posted on the forums here a couple years ago. Still have about 1500+ coins I think.

Unless they changed when they changed their app store, Amazon apps are always at least 1 version behind, and frequently 2 or more.

I've been playing this very sporadically, but I'm at the point where I need to make Dark Steel to upgrade my last two troops and on the stage where there's a hut you can go out to that sells it for 150 coins a pop and so I've decided to try going full-force into coin production since it seems like that's a better deal than trying to make the iron to make the steel to make the dark steel. The only issue is you have to have the physical bagspace to carry them, and each item needs around 80 dark steel a piece.

The 150 coins is the same price it costs to buy 10 steel from the market (15 coins each) which might be a better use of resources since you don't have to leave the village for it.

I think that after you finish the level you are on you can just buy it for the same price from the market without having to leave town or juggle inventory.

You're not missing much, that Pokemon GO thread is repetitive as gently caress right now and I have to skim past most of the posts. Even then I still end up like 300 more posts behind every time I look at my bookmarks

Yeah this game is like, kinda pricey. I've already spent $20 mostly on egg incubators alone. It's also the first time I've actually considered going fuckit and buying the $100 coin pack because if I'm heading there anyway, why not get the bonus coins?

I can even justify it by that I'm using it instead of getting a gym membership for a while :v:

That would be my justification as well, truth be told. But it's better to just strap down your wallet from buying anything, unless you live in an extremely rural town that has minimal pokemon/pokestop sources...

I can buy dark steel for 150 coins in the market for. I'm pretty sure it was there as soon as I could make it. e: or was it the next level?

I did the calculations and 11 coins cost 10 bread, while steel costs 8 bread so buying dark steel costs 140 bread while making it costs 80. Dark steel takes more workers to make (every three workers could have been making another bread), but it's still cheaper. It's the same for every other resource that I've gotten to (I'm at level 5)

I wonder how long until someone reverse engineers the API and makes an AR game on top of the AR game Pokemon Go so you can basically play Pokemon Go while doing something with a more detailed battle system or some crap, and Niantec gets really mad about it :v:

Your brokebrain sin is absolved...go and shitpost no more!

Redungeon is pretty fun. Think Crossy Road, but in a dungeon where you avoid things like spikes, pits, and stereotypical RPG monsters. The graphics and sound are pretty good, and it runs very smoothly with responsive controls. You can collect coins in the dungeons and use them to unlock new characters and character upgrades. So far I've unlocked two characters and the first upgrade for each of them; they play somewhat differently and I'm semi-interested to see how varied the rest of the characters and upgrades are.

The downside I've found so far is that it throws a REALLY LOUD AD at you every couple of runs. I turned off the in-game music but left the sound effects on, and the ads seem WAY louder than the sound effects. This really turns me off from wanting to spend money on the game, just because it feels disrespectful.
