We're a couple, when our bodies double.
I've been getting surveys, are you going places with location turned on? I usually get one a day for two weeks after heading to the local mall.

I've been getting at least one survey a day for a while now.

I have a pixel 2 xl and still get surveys regularly but it seems to trigger more if I go somewhere new. I think it gets used to your normal places and stops triggering them after a while. When i travel I always get a couple and if I go to lunch on the other side of town or something I seem to also.

Moto G6 and I just got a survey from going to the hardware store. Location based ones are pretty much the most common ones for me, but occasionally I get a "Do you like this incredibly super niche interest for rich people?????" survey.

If you lie on some of the surveys, it automatically opts you out and your surveys come way less frequently, if at all. :(

Hey, that Harry Potter meets Pokemon Go game released for me today.. I guess I pre-registered at some point? I think the official release is tomorrow but maybe people who pre-registered get it early? At any rate, have a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.hpwu.prod&hl=en_US

I've found that the survey bucks ebb and flow. Sometimes I won't get one for a month, sometimes I'll get several a day for weeks.

Never lie, though. Recipe for disaster.

the closest I come to lying is when they ask if I was at a place that was next door (same parking lot) to were I was and I say yes.

Oh I also always say I bought things with cash or don't have the receipt.

If you lie, lie in a way that Google doesn't catch. Somehow. Or accept that you'll be getting $.10/"No, grandmother Google, I haven't found any children for my household." forever.

I trash receipts almost immediately, but you still get bux if you just say you weren't at a place. One of the lights I get stuck at is in between a trifecta of Target, Home Depot, and Discount Tire, so it used to be able to get 3 surveys in a row - Were you at place 1? Were you at place 2? Were you at place 3? Now I get notifications but no survey, which makes me sad. :(

I think google are trying to work out what the gently caress I am. They keep asking me what industry I work in, if I'm a student, what my household income is and if i'm a homeowner.

The best i've been able to get across to them is 'other (entertainment),' no, less than 25k, yes.* They keep asking, and I feel like it's some confused part of the algorithm going 'no this can't be right, ask him again.'

It's so damn...literal.
Every day when I get home from work, Google asks me if I bought anything at work. Then it gives me money. I figured eventually it would figure out that I work there, but eight months later it's still wondering what I'm up to at the grocery store every day.

I routinely confuse Google, too--I'm an Imaging Director at a cluster of radio stations, and I'm always searching for the widest range of random poo poo--mostly audio--but I've gotten the occupation survey at least 12 times in the last 6 months. I keep entering Broadcasting but the write-ins don't seem to appease it. The good thing is that I've made quite a bit of app cash because of it.

I also get a ton of WHY DON'T YOU LIKE THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO? questions, but there's never a place to enter, "Just because I like to watch one person do something doesn't mean I want to see EVERY person who does that thing do it as well."

Oh hey survey chat instead of games chat!

My favorite is getting surveys because my wife goes somewhere. Yes Google I was there, I can bi-locate.

So there's a couple more "run a shop" games out. Shop Titans is an extremely direct Shop Heroes clone. Like minor mechanical differences aside it's the same game. Still giving it a shot because it's my jam. Annoying that it has a $10/mo subscription that gets you free loot on each quest. They dangle it in front of you all the time uuugh.

Guildmasters just hit Early Access and it's from the guys that made Merchant. It's kinda the same but lots of mechanical differences. Not sure I like it as much it's not as hands on as Merchant.

The surveys give me confidence that Google don't know what the gently caress is going on. Do you have children? Do you have a job? Did you shop here? I forgot, did you have Children again?

Speaking of Shop Heroes, I go into their forums like every few months to see if they've added anything (since I was hooked on it for awhile), and the answer is "nope, not really". Though people still play it, I guess.

To add relevance to the discussion of actual games, has anybody checked out that Pirates! Slay The Spire ripoff game? It's kind of fun, but definitely geared toward IAP nonsense. It's grindy as hell. Still kind of a fun time-waster...

I think asking if you have kids or a job or something often is a clunky way of asking if your life has changed in some drastic way so they don't upset you down the road. Also, it could catch you in a lie or just skipping through questions.

I enjoyed the free decks from Night of the Full Moon. Should I pay for any of the others, or does the game play stay as repetitive? Any recs. on this theme?

My gf works downtown, I work at the edge of the city. I'm lucky to get a survey or two a month, she get's three or four every week.

Dawn of Isles is fun, and really well made, but there's almost too much to do in it. Between the daily quest board, your supply pier, the errands for the tribe, various timed events, not to mention the sidequests, I never actually get around to moving forward in the main quest.

Rewards chat again (sorry) - Google must have seen my support email but didn't respond because overnight I got back-paid for like $1.57 worth of surveys I've taken over the past few weeks, plus I've gotten bombarded with new ones apparently tied to my toddler watching YouTube on an old tablet. Neat.

The best 40k game isn't a 40k game. Called Templar Battleforce, really great turn based tactical rpg in a shameless copy of the 40k universe. You play as Space Marines. There is a free demo to try out.

Sort of, similar concept. Lot's of character progression though, big skill trees, gear upgrading, customization, etc. Any actual licensed Warhammer games tend to be dogshit. Spacewolf is alright, but Templar Battleforce is better.
