Sistergodiva posted:Could anyone recommend a good roguelike or roguelike game? Something like binding of Isaac or enter the gungeon. Or just a good regular roguelike. Pathos: Nethack Codex It's heavily inspired by Nethack, but not really a Nethack port. The UI and controls are well-suited for touch controls.

Stardew Valley on Android: yes or no? I was eyeing it on Steam, then I realised Play Store has a similar sale for me. Disclosure: Never played a Harvest Moon-type game before, so am honestly not sure if I'll enjoy it. Looking for a "chill experience" where I hopefully get to make pretty farm and have good vibes! I know it's a different type of game, but think Animal Crossing.

Holy poo poo is Black Desert Online a convoluted mess of quests and currencies. I can't tell if I'm actually playing the game, or if I'm in the tutorial still, and I'm like level 15. There's a million little collection quests, missions, and stuff. This game is so unnecessarily confusing and loaded with nonsense. I want to like it, but they loving bombard you with so much poo poo so fast, it becomes extremely overwhelming very fast. Are there any mmos out there that are simple? Something similar to the WoW, Rift, Warhammer, ffxi era? I don't want to chase 15 currencies, 6 cash shops, and another hyperbolic number of "side quests". This FOMO poo poo in videogames is really annoying and making a genre I used to love terrible.

There hasn't really been a fun asynchronous turn based MP game eh? I tried playing Words with Friends 2 with my partner over the xmas break but it failed to capture the magic of the first one and the ad-density drove us insane. Any genre really. Also if you guys still play Polytopia (I know I've gotten my money's worth many times over and keep going back), the premium tribes are on sale for a 1.50$/ea until the end of the month.

Would love something like this too, I loved played Frozen Synapse, but I'm hesitant to buy FS2 because I'm on Mac. Both are kind of dead from what I hear anyway.

Through the Ages and Twilight Struggle are both very good and have async multiplayer. The turns are very thinky though, which might not appeal if you're looking for a light phone game.

been playing dragon champions a lot recently and it seems to be one of the more honest gacha games if you're interested devs are active and have reverted changes based on feedback before, IAP isnt super offensive and the upgrading/collection is pretty well refined link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playquantum.battler

There appears to be a GoonSquad guild but it's full of inactives - would love to join if some got kicked! I'm in as WayfaringStrangr.

What are my options for chill building/simulation-type games? My girlfriend is looking for something like farmville (ugh) only not trash. I know stardew valley exists but I'm not sure if I can convince her it's worth 9 bucks. I already told her to check out kairosoft maybe, but she didn't like the artstyle.

Stardew Valley is great but it's not really comparable to the timer-clicker games like farmville. It needs a bit more introduction. That said, my gf has 400 hours in the game now, she also went to it from playing farmville and not anything more complicated.

I'm not close enough on any fairies to consider rolling for them right now. I know I should, but realistically, I just need my resources to be 6-digits again before I'm comfortable again. The ones I use are 3 star, and only have one 4-star (Rescue).

I just survived a boss refight meant for folks 5 levels higher than I am and got a special hammer! ...which needs to be level-ground by fighting specific enemies. Damnit Another Eden, does everything interesting have to be turned into a massive gind? I'll just put that in a pile next to the fishing and town restoration.

Thundercracker posted:Me: This Another Eden is pretty great. Let me extoll this to the goons. In fairness, this is cribbing from D&D like a lot of RPGs do; Forgotten Realms has used "subrace of elves and all their descendants are cursed with dark skin for unforgivable sins" as their explanation for Drow since the late 80's (the first Drizz't book was released in 1990). I would posit it's also cribbing from period anime to show "dark skin" as "brown skin", e.g. Pirotess from Record of Lodoss War (which cribbed from D&D among other games). (and D&D cribbed from Tolkein (Moriquendi as "dark elves" in this case), who cribbed from the Prose Edda (Dökkálfar)) I'm slowly bouncing off Epic 7 due to slow release of content and staring into an endless grind of despair, so I've started on Another Eden today. Still in the tutorial area, but I'm digging the style so far.

I finally cleared Chapter 13 in Another Eden*, and now Joker and Mona are Guest Characters. Getting closer to making them permanent characters! And Mona's healing is supposed to be superior to even that one 5★ healer? If so, that'll be a nice boon! *Thanks to the tip to grin the Another Dungeons for levels and materials to make gear Morpheus posted:For sure but I'd say most of the underdark races have dark skin.

One for 500hp, another for 1000hp and that's boosted to 1500 by mona's unique weapon which is found in the sidequest. I don't think it's difficult to find if you're checking corners for chests, but don't worry about missing it, there's a door at the end of time to access areas like that which disappear due to plot progression. Also the reqpon requires level 60 so no rush.

Don't forget that some forms of Christianity (especially Mormonism) believe black people are descendants of Cain and were cursed with black skin as a result of his murder of his brother.

No, the Drow are black because they're evil. They were normal elves that got cursed by a God to be black to indicate they were evil and then driven underground by the regular white elves. They did not evolve underground, they're literally normal elves that the other elves make live underground because they are black. And they're black because they are inherently evil.
