Haha, true, I meant the first part, not the "Cures Addictions" part. Then again, I've always been able to quit cigarettes any time I want and I've taken LSD so maybe myth busted?!?

"I've always been able to quit cigarettes any time I want" seems to imply you keep going back to cigarettes

I doubt he would take LSD or even has the means to find it. He probably read the Wikipedia page while drunk and started babbling about it online

I smoked non filtered cigs for 20 years, give or take, then quit cold turkey with no withdrawal symptoms. I started smoking again after a couple years because my wife smokes and I knew I wouldn't get addicted. I smoked like 10 a day for a while then quit again because of tooth surgery, again no withdrawal.

I've had friends try to quit and basically go insane because of how the withdrawal felt, so I feel pretty confident when I say I have never felt "nicotine withdrawal".

You should definitely keep smoking. If anything you should smoke even more since you don't have to worry about getting addicted and that's the only bad thing about smoking.

Plok is amazing simply for the fact that you go back home at some point and eventually you daydream about your granpappy and it cuts to the first world again except it's black and white and you're playing as Plok's granpappy and the levels are somewhat harder. It's just asset reuse but it's stupid and dumb and I love it.

I want to do one of those periodic Diablo 2 Eastern Sun goon private servers that happen occasionally. And I have basically everything set up, but I can't, for the life of me, figure out how the previous people running these did the web-based respec. If I spent the 2-3 evenings to code my own, would anyone here be interested in playing?

Nope! It's a tower defense game - one of the best ones on Steam, just behind Immortal Defense. You set up traps and try to funnel heroes into your whirling sawblades of death.

The closest you get to managing monsters is that you can set a trap that summons demons that will fight for you, and they'll respawn if they get killed.

The tower defense I've played most is the Kingdom Rush series on iPad which I thought were very fun if not as free form as the old ones I played as SC and WC3 custom maps. Is this one comparable in the sense that there is a progression and different maps or challenges?

I've only played a little of Kingdom Rush on steam, but I just booted up Dungeon Warfare for some screencaps, so!

Here's the main map screen. Each icon is a map, and they have varying layouts and paths and so on. The ones on the right get very, very difficult and you can see where I'm still figuring out how to solve the later maps.



Every map has these difficulty modifier runes. You can toggle on as many or as few as you'd like, and one of them is Endless mode - or easy mode.



Setting up a level is like this:



You pick from your available traps, plonk them down around the level, and killing heroes gets you more resources which you use to build more traps. So it's kind of resource management - buy more dart traps, or upgrade them, or save up for the sawblades or thunderbolt traps. You can earn XP through the levels to power-up traps too, and it gets fairly complex.

I like it a lot!

Depends on what you mean and for what systems. Are you looking for something more structured or something more freeform?

Any! Just looking for general call-outs for just the building or crafting systems. It doesn't even have to be a good game overall.
