So I really enjoyed Pythagorea and Euclidea (same dev). Any other math/logic/etc puzzle game recommendations? Preferably with a similarly simple aesthetic, but good puzzles are most important.

Oh fallen london :allears: I just finished a quest line with Vincent adultman. My mysterious benefactor just turned out to be a few urchins in a trench coat. And in the end they just wanted me to write their entry letters for college. Now I don't understand how these urchins had so many diamonds to pay me, but I'm not complaining.

I need so more buddies to have brunch with in game. My username is still "shwqa"

Don't worry about it, it's just a temporary setback, the only thing you loose is time/actions (and some of your dream progress in case of nightmares >7.). I've lost count of all the times I've been exiled/imprisoned/dead or insane...

But yeah, if the game warns you about something being a bad idea, then it usually is a bad idea :shobon:

I stumbled on to some storylet about searching for Mr Eatens Name. It was... quite emphatic that I shouldn't do this. So of course I started it...

Do we have a guild for Animation Throwdown? It's kind of a simple game but I'm having fun with it, especially finding all the references you get from combining stuff. Would have liked to see *some* voice acting though.

If you make a guild I'll join :shobon:

It took me an hour or three but I'm finally enjoying Fallen London. I started out as a pulp writer of penny dreadfuls, then began seducing rich women and doing lots of drugs with bohemians, and now I'm using my connections from those adventures to claw my way into high society.

How is the guild in Legendary doing? The guild I joined at the start of the game has lost a few members, and I might be looking to jump ship myself, although we did place top 200 in the last event. I can't even remember the name of the goon guild?!

It tapered off for a lot of people. I lost interest when the events became poopsock events, rather than limited access.

Can anyone recommend me a game that meets the following criteria:

1) Non-freemium/no IAP beyond a single unlock or the cost of purchasing the app. Or actually free of course, but I'm willing to pay literally anything for a game that meets the other criteria. No ads either, though I'm happy to pay a fee to turn off ads.

2) Turn-based or similar, not something real-time that I can just pause. I want to do an action, have that action affect the game, then have the game wait for my next action.

Ideally, it'd be something like that, where I can put it down at the drop of a hat and pick it back up whenever, but with at least some thought being necessary for each individual action.

3) A non-childish art style. This one is obviously subjective, but no matter how great you think "Strawberry Shortcake's Fantastic Bakery of Amazingness" is, if I'd get funny looks if someone saw me playing it in public, it's not what I'm looking for.

4) Replayability, or at least a whole bunch of content to chew through. I'm cool with paying for content packs, so long as they're each meaty enough to justify the cost.

Ideally, I'd like a game that is fun in short bursts, but can also be played longer if time allows. Right now, my go-to game for all this is solitaire, before that, it was Desert Golfing. Game type or the details of mechanics doesn't really matter.

I've previously enjoyed Lyne, Flow Free, Guild of Dungeoneering, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Earthcore: Shattered Elements, and Star Realms.

The only game that might meet the above criteria that I have tried and didn't like is Battlefleet Gothic: Leviathan. It did exactly what it was trying to do, but somewhere in the massive pile of rules, it lost the "fun" factor completely.

Anyone have thoughts?

I have not, though I have gone through 4 and 6, which I have fond memories of playing as a kid. It's been on my radar but I hadn't considered it because I assumed it was a story-heavy single playthrough with intermittent saving, like 6 and 7 were. I'm guessing, however, that I may be off-base on this.

I'm confused by Fallen London. Just started the Last Constable but somehow got Family and Law so it won't let me progress. Also is seduction the only option for getting a house? I am confused, and also now called Bertrand Whiffletrout.

Go to the baazar tab and go down to the land agency. You can buy houses there with random poo poo like lumps of amber. And you need to do opportunity cards to progress that story.

The game is designed to be confusing as poo poo, you have to just gently caress around and figure it out. That's most of the fun.

So, after about 2 years or so on iOS, I'm back on Android with a s7. I need some games up in this thing.

Pretty much looking for 3 main types of games to occupy my time:

1. Roguelike - I already love the hell out of Pixel Dungeon, but I'm wondering if there's been anything new and awesome on the scene.

2. Card Game - Not nessecarily a TCG (though, not saying I'm not down for one), but something fun involving some sort of card system.

3. Old School RPG - Something to scratch my itch for some old-rear end, long-rear end RPGs of yore.

And if there's anything cool that's popped up, I'm more than willing to give it a shot.
