TOOT BOOT posted:I bought Dredmor and then put off playing it until they fixed all the crash bugs and save corruption. Wasn't Dredmor's entire development history pretty wildly spotty? I don't know the whole story, but I swear I've seen a couple posts or discussions about it, probably in a previous iteration of this thread. Either way, I fire up that game once every couple of months and then get bored by the time I get to the fifth floor or so. And I forget that crafting is garbage. And everything else. Dredmor.

TokyoHeadphones posted:Well alright, I suppose nothing's sacred on the internet anymore. The secrecy around the dragonslayer/berserk armour is just really silly and doesn't add anything to the game. It feels like an old MUD where the advanced classes/super strong items are hidden behind quests with goofy syntax hunts where everyone winds up telling everyone else the answers at some point anyway. I figured having nothing in your hands was probably part of the secret given the circumstances in the comic, but I don't remember anything from Berserk about him picking up that sword for the first time in the buff. If he keeps changing it to be secret, well, that's his business I guess? Plenty more anime to equip in this game.

I used to be all about ADOM but tried playing it again recently and just couldn't be hosed getting anything significant off the ground. Finding an altar, raising piety, carting a boatload of stuff to said altar to see if it's cursed, and the general lack of ID scrolls are things I guess I don't want to waste time dealing with anymore. It's from a different era and I loved it, but I don't think I have the time to go for an ultra ending in this day and age.

Angry Diplomat posted:Cataclysm is extremely guilty of this. It's a fun game, and the crafting system, for all its faults, is pretty great if only because there's so much poo poo you can make and it enables a ton of different playstyles. But if you want to craft anything relatively complex, you're going to need to make or acquire a lot of tools, many of which need batteries/thread/duct tape/charcoal/etc, and you're going to need a ridiculous crapton of raw materials and intermediate components. it was definitely a pain in the rear end until i built a vehicle with basically a 9x9 square of containers and recharging tools inside of it, since the game is merciful and checks for stuff within 1 tile's reach of you when crafting. and by the time you're done setting that up you'll have gained a ridiculous amount of mechanic skill as well!

PleasingFungus posted:it's kinda funny that everyone's calling demon 'pokemon', when it draws much more directly and explicitly from a different, older series. it even uses the same demons (slime!) and negotiation dialogue, word for word! i posit that it's because they're loving noobs, fursonally.

Steak Eater posted:So, aside from the two of them listed on the wiki, are there any good resources for up-to-date build guides for ToME? Because as a new player, most of them seem to be from before the advent of things like Ogres being a race. The official forums has a little wisdom on it but mileage varies from class to class

Dungeonmans question: did the masters program involving bouncing lines and all that ever get a buff? I haven't played in what feels like most of the year but I distinctly remembering it feeling like the spells in it weren't properly applying the game's equivalent of spellpower or whatever.

FTL seems incredibly dependent on RNG given the obstacles the final boss presents, and I'm interested in why it isn't. Educate me, thread.TooMuchAbstraction posted:I find it hilarious how none of the other threads I'm following are doing anything today, but the roguelikes thread has like 30+ updates in it. Godspeed, awful goons. Roguelike players are insane but they're also a perfect gamechoice when you have to host crowds/cook mountains on the holidays, since you can put them down and mull over the perfect move while you're doing other poo poo.

Overwined posted:So I've been playing a lot of DCSS lately, but otherwise I'm a total newcomer. I really love the "sneak up on someone and gut them with a sharp pointy thing" mechanic and Spriggans seem to excel at this. However, they are way too fragile when the poo poo inevitably hits the fan and you've already cashed in your stealth advantage. Any recommendations for a race for such a build? spriggan is the best race for it, though i think kobolds can also do stealth pretty well. my first stabber was a SpEn of Dithmenos and i 3-runed it handily, just make sure you have a bag of tricks for when things wake up on you. when in doubt, loving run away and dont hesitate to go nuclear with evocables.

METATERREN posted:The end. You should give it another go and ask for a little advice before giving up. The Master is a frustrating dickhead due to his disables, summons, and firepower but with a little knowledge you can beat his rear end into the ground and the rest of the game is just about clear sailing from that point on. Antimagic Berserkers are super easy to play and turn him into vampire mulch.

UberJew posted:I tried ADOM for a while and then realized how completely at odds permadeath is with that sort of intense grind so I picked up Elona+ instead and got real deep into that for a month or so. Was fun, would recommend anybody give a go at breaking Elona over your knee at some point when you don't have another game to play i need a huge anime infusion after going ham on XCOM2 for a week, can you hook a brother up with the big-rear end checklist of poo poo to do early on in Elona to set yourself up for grand adventures? otherwise i'm just gonna play pianos, die, and sleep in the king's bed without a clear, game-winning plan!!

So far I'm just doing runs to decipher as many messages as I can and dying to the first tiny mistake I make, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to get accustomed to the game. get accustomed to uninstalling that fuckin pile, because that's like winning it with 15 runes

as a general map-making thing, i think the home base could be compressed quite a bit so it isn't such a long journey to the unlock hall? also lmao at this eccentric collection of classes, i'm tempted to just pick 4 random things and see what kind of unworkable mess i'm left with. watch the gently caress out y'all, here comes Medusa, a Magical Girl, an Air Bender and a Mummy.

I've worked on some fairly big game soundtracks over the years but I actually put more time, effort and love into Dungeonmans than anything and wrote a ton of stuff because I enjoy that style so much. The fun you had making the soundtrack really shines through! you both have immaculate taste. ToxicFrog posted:How did I not realize before that zirconmusic is the Zircon same!!!
