Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?

I will add that they are planning on also having a PC version, a VR version, and of course iOS, if you don't think your phone will be powerful enough for this.

A flagship phone will likely be fine running it.

What about last year's flagships? Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL were both on the list, but the old Pixel XL wasn't.. Its still a drat good phone. :(

Can't wait to have my battery's phone evaporate into mist on the commute to work oh boy.

I would say it's possible to do if they optimize it well enough but lol this is Bethesda. It's going to feel like I'm holding molten steel while this thing runs.

It'll probably be able to run it. I mean if your Android phone can do Daydream VR it can probably run Elder Scrolls Blades well.

WTF?
Another couple of Tap Wizard questions.

1) I've noticed lately that it'll change my loadout from 1 to 4 sometimes. I think it's usually/always when I come back to the game after it's been in the background or the phone's been off. What the hell is that about, and is there anything I can do to make it stop?

2) How do I access the dungeon loadouts outside of a dungeon? I'm always surprised that I have like two icicle spells or whatever.

1) Are you swiping left? There's a setting that lets you change loadouts on the fly by swiping. You can turn it into off if you like. "Fast Swapping" on the 4th page of settings.

2) The Dungeon loadouts are just extra loadout slots so you don't screw up your normal four, you can't access them outside of a dungeon. They don't give you any extra spells than you normally have so if you want 2 icicles in a normal loadout just put them there.

Saying that the original Pixels can run Daydream is kind of generous. They overheat and crash with any intensive VR after about 15mins.

Nah, I've got fast swapping off. I guess I misunderstood about dungeons. I thought you couldn't change your spells once you started, but that seems to not be the case.

Things could be going better

The command and conquer game is actually...not bad? There is a decent amount of movement and countering that goes on in the maps. The greatest sin I'm seeing right now is making hard counter units a random drop out of crates.

I believe how many dinosaurs you lose plays a part. I seem to get more epic ones when I go 3-0, but it's not 100% and I have only ever had 1 12hr one.

I've been testing this theory, and I just had a streak where I went 3-0 twice, then 3-1, then 3-2 twice, and only got normal incubators until the last 3-2, where I got an epic. I think it's either a simple RNG, or there's a cycle to them.

I don't know if it was the first game to do it but the chaining mechanic felt really unique at the time, and the way those chunky pixelated icons fell away when you matched a whole lot of them was very, very satisfying.

Our glorious political masters have, in their wisdom, decided to form an alliance with a rag-tag bunch of freedom fighters right when the Federation has us at a tactical disadvantage. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in the Feds firing on our vessels...

For me, in addition to that, it was the way everything came together. Classes, Skills/Spells, Gear, Stats, Races, the ability to mix & match things… It all just combined into one awesome game.

Sadly, it no longer works on my new phone. Troll Patrol is the closest thing I've found to it. It's still in Unreleased status, and it makes me think that it's what a Beta version of Dungeon Raid might have been like.

My friend, wait until you need to level up your Mammoth tank to be competitive but you didn't get enough cards to drop and you don't have enough gold to level up any other unit so you just have to wait 4 hours for the crate to unlock. Clash Royale late game plus EA monetization? No thanks hombre, I'm giving C&C a wide berth.

It requires some getting used to, but if you can handle the terrible 2000s interface on PC you should fine on a mobile with a sufficiently large screen. I played on a Galaxy S7 Edge.

I stumbled on this MMA game called MMA Manager by Prey Studios. I'm only two days in but it seems pretty fun. Create your own fighters, gym, trainers, and use sliders to plan your attack strategy for when you fight. The game is still in Beta but it's still fun.

No idea, with the new content for King's Raid, I've only played it for about an hour this morning. You start off with with SR chars and get an SSR as a reward or something. Judging by all the other players rocking to same hero as their friend character I'm guessing it's the same reward.
