Garlic is great for the early half of a round, especially when you're new to the game. Bible evolves when fully maxed + at least 1 level of the Spellbinder passive item, which is great for keeping enemies at bay in the second half of a route.

If you unlock a new character, make sure to buy them before Powering Up, I forget to do this at least half the time.

it's easy to unlock a new character, want to play it next run but absentmindedly spend all your money on powerups first.

Vampire Survivors is only $5? Alright then I guess I'll give it a try.

My wife walked into the room while I was like level 75 and was like what the gently caress is even going on here

I kept seeing all the positive posting about Vampire Survivors so I downloaded it and gave it a shot.

At first I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it, it just felt so strange to not touch anything but the d-pad or stick but once it clicked I spent like 3 hours high as gently caress playing and trying to get my levels up.

I think my best so far is maybe lvl 50 on the library? The 3rd stage is so far kicking my rear end.

How do you unlock Dairy Factory? I think I've got a bug that keeps it locked.

# ? Nov 13, 2022 20:12

American McGay: Feb 28, 2010; by sebmojo

I think most of the stage unlocks are tied to �get to level xx on the previous stage�. I think Milk Factory is like 60 in the Library or something similar.

Mierenneuker: Apr 28, 2010; We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

The Vampire Survivors is decent for a Fandom wiki, so for every unlock you can typically look up how to get it there:
"Dairy Plant is the third stage in Vampire Survivors. This stage can be unlocked by reaching level 40 in the Inlaid Library. "

It can be a bit of an unlock chain at times. It's several steps for a game-changer like the Limit Break function for example.

4. Shadowrun trilogy (not released this year but landed on game pass this year)

Another win for game pass. Outside of RMI, I would have decided these games were not for me judging by their screenshots.

If you need to find something bad about Vampire survivors, it's way too addicting.
I just lost 3 hours and would have gone longer if I hadn't another pressing matter I had to do.

that's because:

quote:

Luca Galante, the game’s developer, has revealed that the game’s addictive nature is no accident.

Mr Galante previously worked as a software developer in the gambling industry, and used the same techniques to create a more traditional game. He said the sensory barrage of colours and sounds was intended to be reminiscent of a casino.

“Slot games are very simple – all the player has to do is press one button, and the game designers have to find a way to push the player to press that button,” he told tech websiteThe Verge last week.

I installed VS and played it for a few minutes and found pretty much nothing appealing. I guess if you need someone to tag along at the casino and tell you to quit while you're up, I'm your guy.

Elden Ring is okay. The only real good thing about it is the double jump horse, everything else is more of the same.

Which isn�t inherently a bad thing, I just prefer the curated AAA path of H:FW more.

Good thing there's over a hundred games on game pass and new stuff comes out every week. Not sure why everyone lost their poo poo over a 5 dollar phone game but it's cool that lots of people didn't even have to pay that to try it.
