So Rhythm Doctor is really good. What the game did with the second boss fight just blew my mind a bit, never seen a game do that before!

I loved Rhythm Heaven so much and this is a really great game in the same style.

I'm installing Final Fantasy X/X-2 to play for the first time. Is this a good idea thread? Any tips for the first time?

Wow I'm sort of surprised with how FF X starts, somehow I didn't realise how "modern" the world was in it. Only played a bit less than an hour but I'm into this intro so far

I've played an hour or so more of FF X and the dialogue almost feels really stilted and strange but I'm somehow into it. Definitely intrigued to see where this goes!

And I can understand wanting to make FF X so linear actually since maybe they wanted a more cinematic experience since they could with the more powerful PS2 compared to the PS1

Tidus just laughed on a boat and it was good. I am unsure if that's the laughing scene though

The combat in FF X feels really good. I think my main problem with jrpgs has been feeling the combat is slow but maybe I just haven't played a modern one with faster combat. Also helps I can grind a bit with the 4x speed option

Anyone who is feeling down, you are not alone. Please also count me in as someone who is willing to listen and talk if you want to.
I've been through some dark times before and really do want to help if anyone is feeling similarly.

This community is honestly generally pretty great

Holy poo poo Siralim is the game I've always wanted. Being able to summon your enemies after defeating them in a battle is a dream game idea since my childhood!!

I've played 7 hours of Siralim Ultimate today and this game is very good. I'm excited to see how overpowered I can make some of these classes when I unlock them!

Also I wanna talk about Siralim Ultimate a little bit and how it's miles better than Siralim 3 in terms of gameplay flow. I'm not as far in as S3 but I'm already having way more fun because of the class system. In S3, classes were kind of weird because they provided mostly negligible bonuses, like "+1% attack per level" but here they're much more structured, and my team is hilarious.

My class is Sorceror, which means all of my spells go off twice. The starter monster is an Octopus Mage, who casts Magic Missile any time someone casts a spell. Yes, that also goes off twice. So, if it casts Magic Missile once, it hits, procs two additional hits, goes off again, procs the two hits again. He is nuts.

But he's not strong enough. So I have a second monster, called the Salamander, who has a 50% chance to cause all spells to go off twice. This doesn't potentially double the casts of Magic Missile to 12, because remember, each of the original hits procs two more casts. Four main hits, with four bounces each, so it's TWENTY total hits if you get really lucky.

Not enough damage, because that's only one monster, and you've got room for six. So just to make sure I survive, I have one tank monster who I have fused to have two skills - one makes him heal 10% max HP every time anyone takes a turn, and the other inflicts Weakness on all enemies when he gets attacked. His job is to cast provoke every turn and inflict Weakness.

Salamander has two spells. One inflicts Bleeding on all enemies, and the second inflicts a random debuff on all enemies. The second one is the most useful of the two, because remember, we cast all spells twice, so it actually inflicts two debuffs. But, the funny thing about Salamander is that he also has a second ability, which casts Corpse Explosion every time an enemy does with a status ailment, and it casts once per ailment they're inflicted with. If they were inflicted with, say, three ailments, once from the double-cast debuff and once from my tank getting hit, that's six casts of Corpse Explosion, per enemy! Two enemies die, that's twelve hits! And, it has a 50% chance of getting cast twice!

Basically the game's nuts. That's just one example strategy I've found, because I also am eyeing another strategy where you cast a spell on an ally that kills it and distributes its stats to enemies, and then another monster uses two passives that increases its stats by 20%, and then also replicates all stat gains and passes them to allies. You combine that with a Unicorn who revives one ally every time it attacks and just continually blow up your ally for massive stat buffs. Game rules.

I've got a really similar team to yours! I picked the Evoker too and the amount of magic missiles I've got going off after every spell cast is honestly a bit absurd and then I added the salamander to the mix. This is great

Great movie

Chat thread!

I am, once again, asking for your posts.

Someone in... I think it was the Steam thread but I can't find the post once shared a screenshot of their Steam categories and they were separated by "Energy levels", having Low/Mid/High/Weird energy categories, which I think it's a brilliant way of deciding what to play depending on where your head's at.

So, thread, tell me about your "low energy" games.

I've been playing Siralim Ultimate fairly often when I have the time recently since it's easy to just pass the time grinding while I'm watching something in the background. Easy to turn off my mind.

Also agree with the Everyday Genius Squarelogic and any Picross game recommendations!

Does this mean you're my friend Rarity?

Probably helped that I won the game. If I had lost it would probably be a different story.

Definitely not going to get addicted like I used to be though. Too many other good games to play!!!
