Addictive, fresh and | empowering. Almost like experiencing the first peak of the | Dunning-Kruger effect with each new game I find, until that curve | drops and the game inevitably destroys me (damn you Caves of | Qud).. Well, most of the time. | | Anyway, if anyone is looking for any recommendations I really | enjoyed Cataclysm-DDA (super cool) and Caves of Qud for the old | school ASCII feel. Then there's Dead Cells, Noita and Hades for a | more modern take. | hypertele-Xii wrote: | That high when playing a new, difficult roguelike for the first | time, not knowing what works and what doesn't, is survival | horror porn. It's the brief few days I truly feel like a child | again. | govg wrote: | If you liked those, might want to give One Step From Eden a | try. It's a mix of deck building combat + real time action, | quite fast paced and is technically well done. | jankins wrote: | There's a dead comment with a negative take about the YouTube | comments being turned off, and I just wanted to point out - the | conf is hosted in a really cool custom real-time conference mud, | built by em lazer-walker. It's a fun thing that is worth checking | out | spir wrote: | I attended this conference in person in 2019. It's an excellent | conference! There may be no more serious group of practitioners | of applied procedural generation in the world. | csours wrote: | Wow I was just talking about uMoria to a workmate yesterday. | swayvil wrote: | I used to play that. Good game. | | Preferred background music : Pink Floyd : Atom Heart Mother | throwuxiytayq wrote: | YouTube comments turned off? If you don't care what I think, then | I don't care about your thing. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-10-16 23:00 UTC)
