I didn't know ITB was on mobile so I downloaded it and... Into The Breach, brought to you by Netflix? I thought I opened the wrong app at the start. What a bizarre buyout.

Netflix has a whole suite of games on Android. Part of their move to expand into game streaming. Search for Netflix as the publisher and you'll find a bunch.

Wish I could buy ITB separately though. Had cancelled Netflix but ended up needing it again anyway.

I guess, it's just a weird decision for Netflix to make. I know every streaming service wants to be the movie service with TV shows and games and social media and porn and food delivery but branching out like that seems like a weird play.

I think what they're doing is trying to add gaming to your TV. So with a Netflix sub and a controller, you can now play games with your sub in your living room.

I couldn't play Into the Breach because my eyes suck and that text is loving tiny.

More games need to build font size options into their settings menus.

Not to kink-shame, but I didn't know Netflix was branching that far out from their wheelhouse!

anyone have a suggestion for games that specifically work well with a controller? I picked up one of those backbone things since I got a really good deal on one at work and I figure between streaming games from my pc and vampire survivors i'd get enough use out of it, but any suggestions would be welcomed (particularly ones that I'm unlikely to just want to play on my PC proper)

definitely will look into emulation but i'm trying to shy away from that more towards games that I wouldn't have already played. stuff like that mobile-only Trials game with the awful monetization that i finally tried to get back to only to find out that the servers were dead and it never had controller support to begin with

SOTN has a native Android port, actually.

The ports of Dark Alliance and Titan Quest are pretty good.

Honestly when I got my Kishi I am now realizing I almost exclusively used it to play ports or games available on other platforms. In no particular order:

Stardew Valley
Vampire Survivors
SOTN
Brotato
Titan Quest
Dysmantle
20 Minutes till Dawn
Dungreed
Dead Cells

Grimvalor is probably worth checking out and I think that's only on android/mobile. It never super clicked with me but it seemed cool if you're into that sort of thing.

I managed to get him down with just a regular long sword (no element). I can't get the one Leg blue wing needed for the ice weapon, despite 5 epic parts.

My favourite little monsters
Its really word having an event for this monster that shares almost no weaknesses with other monsters, having two weaknesses that each correspond to a single monster's weapons, just a month after its broad release. Like, ive been playing the game since it's soft launch in Canada so I have a level 6 lightning sword but people who haven't been grinding are just going to feel shafted, especially when every monster around you is just a Diablos.

If I fall, you don't get the head, right? If you lose the head, you're fucked!

MHN chat:

How are you guys getting different weapons? Is it just a level thing? I still haven't figured out how to lock onto a part, let alone focus one.

I've just been building every piece of every set I can when I can, then I read somewhere that that's pretty useless and I should be focusing specific gear pieces. :saddowns:

I think I'm only 13 or so, should I just reroll?

I will say, this game is prime MH in the way it explains basically nothing.

My favourite little monsters
Focus on one weapon for each element. A fairly broad range that will serve you well against almost every monster is a fire, water, and electric weapon. The actual weapon types are up to your preference.

As for armor, at the beginning you can try a couple things out but keep an eye on the skills and focus on the armor that has skills you want. You can keep a couple on rotation if you want to, for example, have the fire resistant armor to use with your water weapon when fighting anjanath or whatever.

The problem with doing multiple sets is that a lot of equipment shares common harvestable materials - like I have three pieces of armor right now that require 11 carpenterbugs each and it's a pain trying to level them all up. Having a different set that may also require carpenterbugs would be a pain.

It's kind of a problem with the game - they want to extend its lifespan of course, but it really punishes experimentation with equipment combinations.

vriska (vriska)
Elemental weapons are the way to go, but beware, you only get the elemental damage on monsters weak to that element. On anything else, you only get the raw damage. Status weapons are okay, paralysis rocks in groups if you're able to play with local friends, but are way outdamaged by elemental. A Grade 7 5/5 raw weapon will do about as much damage as a Grade 5 5/5 weapon hitting weakness.

On Armour: Elemental attack up skills scale very hard and very well, much better than raw attack, so prioritise a set for each of those. Fill in gaps with things like Evade Extend, Divine Blessing, Critical Eye, Weakness Exploit and Peak Performance. Make sure you have Lock On somewhere if you can (Kulu head or Rathian hands). The more DPS you can poo poo out, the more defensive you can afford to play without the timer getting you. If you have a really hard time dodging certain attacks (Legiana's 180 degree sweep is the bane of my existence) just save your special to i-frame through those.

Ice is only really relevant for Diablos right now so don't sweat that too much.

As a note the upgraded kulu helm also gives Crit eye at rank 4. The lock on stuff is great for forcing a position too (like behind for tail smash or anjanath legs for tipple)

This only lets me pre register for when it releases, doesn't let me install or play it. Maybe region locked?

Also on the tower defence side there is Bloons TD 6.

Solitarica is another solid favourite.

There's also a considerable number of board games that can be played offline and against the machine.

Added! I am very susceptible to one-more-turn-itis, and the liminal space of a long haul flight might be dangerous.

Just got a new phone, and it is peak gamer nonsense. It's fast as hell, and I'm having trouble making it go full tilt in a game. Anyone have a suggestion for games that can be cranked to punishingly good levels of graphics?

So far I've been playing games through dolphin at stupid resolutions and genshin impact absolutely maxed, and it still hasn't dropped any frames.
