About fuckin' time  To be fair, this is one of the wackier and luckier Qud runs I've had. I went to the Stilt and Brocephus Bookhuffer or whoever that holy dude in the kraken is ended up in a fight with some bears and those metal smurfs. It was pandefuckingmoneum, robot scrap was flying everywhere, lasers, psychopowers, the floor was quite literally turning to lava, and multiple illuminated books went up in flames. I just sorta hung out around the edges picking up the loot that splashed in my direction. The priest won, but surrounded himself in a permanent psychic barrier while also being on fire. So I sat around and waited, 1hp at a time, until he burned to death. He dropped some really powerful gear, crysteel platemail and a chrome poncho which tripled my survivability. I snuck out the side door just in case the Wardens at the front would aggro upon noticing that some heathen was swag-strutting out of their holiest dead sea animal wearing the incalculably pimp threads of their grand poobah. I made it through Golgotha with chute crabs all over me like fleas on a dog, mainly because I have treads for feet and can't be beat. I also fired an HE rocket directly up Slog's asspipe, which is also ok because I didn't have enough Butchery skill points to wear said asspipe as a bracer so why not just gib the sonofabitch? I was rewarded with that great Ursine lead-spewer, Bear Kylls, and decided to try and put the screws to my long time nemesis before attempting Bethesda Susa. The river journey to Mamontowm was the quality vietnam style river/jungle murder orgy you expect. 116 hp, got dropped to 5 when I got feared, beaten, and ran screaming through fire of my own creation. I stabbed an ubernostrum into my eye and figured I would die like a champion, axe in each hand, but somehow I pulled out of that one. That river is dammed with goat corpses and I am the death beaver who made it so. Oh and there was a psycho cultist along the way with a wacky bag of items including no less than five Sphinx Salt pricklyboons, which was amazing. Actual Mamon spawned with WINGS, loving wings which was really distressing at first but turned out to be a benefit as it prevented him from being a ruthless melee mack truck, he just sort of flapped around menacingly and tried to life-drain me once when he got close. I emptied about 48 rounds from Bear Kylls into him and he folded like a cheap tent. A bit of an anti-climax, but given how many of Qud player deaths are anti-climactic as well, I'll take it. Also my house in Joppa has three trees and three chairs

Now that you've killed Mamon, you've unlocked the option to gain some real power: Pour a vial of neutron flux over yourself. C'mon. Do it.

victrix posted:Anyone played Slay the Spire? I have! The best way I can describe it is “Dominion style card game as a rogue-lite” I personally find it a lot of fun, but the current difficulty curve goes something like this: die for 30 runs in a row until you learn the good deck builds, then win about 25% of time. It’s one of those early access games where its main flaw is janky incompleteness, but the basic formula is solid and fun.

Just in case y'all aren't aware of it, Monster Slayers is a game with the same idea, that's IMO reasonably polished. Still not necessarily deep, but it's a fun light thing to relax with. http://store.steampowered.com/app/496620/Monster_Slayers/

Monster Slayers is weird because the character variety is there, but not the monster variety, so all your encounters feel very samey. Also there are a lot of encounters, which can all be nullified because the last boss is resistant to the element that you built towards.

I had fun with Monster Slayers but the metaprogression was kind of annoying -- for some reason I didn't mind it as much in Dream Quest but in Monster Slayers it felt like there was a dozen upgrades I had to sink before I could start playing for real.

Characters can spawn with reputation modifiers that make them hate each other. I've had the Warden in the Stilt go ham and take down a hell of a lot of people.

Yeah she really doesn't gently caress around. She's pretty diesel to begin with, and when she calls in the time clones things get bloody in a real hurry. All of the Wardens are tough as poo poo, really. They make superb companions if you've got enough faction reputation to recruit one.

Steam Award nominations are up, elect your favorite goonspawn roguelike (suggestions: Dungeonmans, Cogmind, Tangledeep, Caves of Qud) to one of the categories! Certainly we can get more votes than the likes of dota 2 or pubg. http://store.steampowered.com/SteamAwardNominations/

Played it a little. Game is hideous yet good looking, which I can't explain. Seems pretty simplistic so far, but combat is satisfying, have to see if there's more going on than just that.

Haque looks as good as the timing of dropping a release on the Steam sale is living on the edge---though I think Square Enix just did the same drat thing, so we'll see where this bold and baffling era takes us. MidBoss has finally managed the big v1.2 update that has been toiled at for months now for what will likely be the final capstone unless crazy things happen. http://store.steampowered.com/app/561740/MidBoss/ Hopefully the combo of this + Steam sale will garner it some new and renewed attention! quote:The big patch you've all been waiting for is finally here! There's too much to cover in depth so here's a quick list of things you'll be interested in: In other possession based Roguelike news, Possession will most likely slip into a 2018 release vs the older aim of squeaking out come the end of this month or Dec.

Beat Haque. Cute game, don't think I'll be returning to it though. Would be curious to see if the dev works on something else, there's some smart stuff in there.

Also "beat" slay the spire (I didn't) Cool game, definitely not fully finished yet, but has a lot of potential and the design is smart and fun to play.

Since the Nethack thread got archived - I've been poking at 3.6.0 and hating it, but I am amused at what they did to the old "get rid of punished by burying the ball" trick.

Haque is pretty fun but also there's no XP or leveling, you get quirks/mini-upgrades after going through the portal on each floor, and enemies don't drop items super often so for the most part there isn't much of a reason to fight anything as far as I can tell seems better to just avoid enemies unless they have visible equipment (and even then there's no guarantee that they'll drop anything even with a visible weapon/shield) and try to find the smithing rooms or treasure chests in order to get gear upgrades

Cryptark update: Unlocked a door to destroy a door system, the second one re-locked it behind me, trapping me with no means of escape. On the next ship I hit a mine that shot me between the door system cover and deck leaving me unable to move. The first time I notice bugs and they happen right after each other draining all my cash and ending my campaign.

genericnick posted:Cryptark update: The physics are a little glitchy; I've gotten permanently stuck in walls before. Also had a ship where the only way to reach the shield module that was protecting the core was to go through a really narrow gap between the walls, and it turned out that while it was possible to get in, no matter what I did I couldn't get back out.
