03:53:41 Devastator: not great, but okay.
03:54:00 MidJag: Mmm, sorry to hear that.
03:54:09 Devastator: I"ll get through it.

04:31:39 MidJag: Not bad. Trying out on of the games in that big bundle from a while back
04:32:12 MidJag: And no, I'm nowhere near drunk enough for NITW
04:33:46 MidJag: Midboss is a...intresting rougelike
04:33:51 Devastator: As drunk as that guy I linked?
04:34:05 MidJag: Probably. Just delete everything I know. ~
04:34:15 syv: It actually looks pretty cool. Would you recommend it?
04:34:52 MidJag: So essentially the base answer is yes
04:35:39 MidJag: I really just have a couple of quibles that are more just because I like Stone Soups/brouges/ Shattered pixel dungeons design philosphy more than this ones.
04:36:16 syv: Considering it's free due to that bundle, that's enough.
04:36:32 syv: You know, I've gotten a lot of value out of it, and probably will get a ton more.
04:36:45 syv: I don't understand why it's so hard to get people to accept a gift of it.
04:37:02 Devastator: I have an intense loathing of bundles.
04:37:04 syv: I think I've offered to gift copies like four times now, and always get a response of "meh, later".
04:37:58 syv: Hell, half of those offers weren't even offers of the bundle, they were offers of "yeah, this specific game is awesome, I have a free copy I could give you. Oh, and it comes with a thousand other good games, incidentally."
04:38:34 MidJag: But uh, like this game is intresting, because the core mechanic is super fun, but it can be kinda confusing of if your actually making the right decision sometimes, and like I dislike that the game encourages you to break all of the furniture in a room for loot, and then sell it to the shopkeep. Granted there is a mouse based fast travel, but it's still kinda weird sometimes.
04:38:50 MidJag: It's also super customizable.
04:46:31 MidJag: Yeah, like bunch of options, how long the game is, permadeath, weirder stuff like do you need to identify items, that kinda thing.
04:47:10 syv: I'm the type who *loves* to customize games.
04:47:27 MidJag: Ah yes, lemme die on this run and then sure.
04:48:03 MidJag: Oh and you can also pick if you get items and stuff, so theres a pretty neat amount of variation you can do.
04:48:29 MidJag: All in all I like it, with most of my critisicms being from me playing an unhealthy amount of other rougelikes.
04:59:26 Devastator: I know you've won stone soup.
05:01:30 MidJag: I've won brouge, and Shattered pixel dungeon. Which is a mod of a game based off a brouge that is better than it has any right to be and is honestlly better than hte game it's a mod of.
05:02:09 Devastator: played brogue some again.
05:02:13 Devastator: I've forgotten how to beat it.
05:02:54 MidJag: I dunno, it's been a long while since I played brouge, I'm not sure I rember myself
05:05:27 MidJag: shattered pixel dungeon is really fun though
05:10:11 Devastator: no, brogue was annoying, because not only have I beaten it, I'd figured out how to make it basically a science. As in 'won two games in a row'
05:10:56 MidJag: Ah. I never got that good at brouge.
05:13:15 Devastator: but it's all gone. I remember there being like two, three tricks to it.
05:13:22 Devastator: and then it's just easy, but ugh.
07:13:59 MidJag: But uhh, I accidentlly stumbled upon an extremlly strong combo
07:16:08 MidJag: Yeah, so essentially I've turnned my imp into an impish cusinart.
07:16:19 MidJag: It can intsa shred things in meele.
07:16:50 MidJag: And regenerate health, which is really rare since normally you heal through posseision
07:27:33 MidJag: I even get a long range attack that's close to a one hit KO for most enemies I'm fighting right now

08:51:02 syv: Hmm, there's an idea for a game.
08:51:42 syv: In SotC, all the colossi are fragments of some evil spirit thingy, Dormin, which gradually possesses Wander as he kills them.
08:52:17 syv: Some of the collossi seem to be designed as a utility more than just a giant monster, like they were tools used by some long-dead civilization.
08:52:44 syv: They're also just seals on Dormin, presumably to keep him imprisoned.
08:53:34 syv: It'd be neat to have some kind of game where the players are in control of the civilization, and using fragments of the captured evil demon soul to make useful constructs, both for war and domestic purposes.
08:54:15 syv: Ideally, they don't know that the magical power source they're using is actually an imprisoned demon, that comes out later. Preferably after they've hit dome difficulty in war, and really *need* to continue using it.
09:02:00 Devastator: had some ideas like that for k-com.
09:02:07 Devastator: but figured there was enough complicated stuff already.
09:02:16 Devastator: no need for more than the fairly normal plot I have going.
09:06:43 syv: Mmm, experiments with interdimensional energy or w/e leading to the kaiju invasion?
09:06:55 syv: Would at least give us a reason *why* stuff is happening.

09:19:38 Devastator: but I settled on a different explanation, a bit of a simpler one.

09:34:21 Devastator: ugh, I shouldn't have signed up for that metagame.
09:34:25 Devastator: 11 character sheets is insane. ;-p
09:35:58 Devastator: what a shame, though. So tempted to play that game wrong.
09:36:27 ER: just commit, it's not like it'll take more than a week to die~
09:36:29 Devastator: the ones where the GM suggests that you can do anything are the best to do that in. ;-p
09:36:34 Devastator: Yeah, seems likely.
09:53:56 Devastator: I'll leave it for the next day.
09:54:13 ER: just working on my OP right now
09:54:36 Devastator: I'll leave mine for tomorrow sometime.. probably later, just before I start on k-com.
09:54:42 Devastator: have lots of stuff to do tomorrow.
19:30:35 ER: glass seems to want you in their discord :p
19:32:27 Devastator: Any particular reason to join?
19:32:48 ER: having people to talk to? *shrug*
19:34:25 Devastator: I have to head out fairly soon.
19:37:22 Devastator: and not gonna join anything until after I've got the collective charsheet up.
19:38:05 Devastator: much rather have that be the first impression, so to speak.
19:43:28 Devastator: think I have most of the angle on how to play it wrongly.
19:43:36 Devastator: I might talk with supernerd, but not the others. ;-p
19:44:12 ER: nah, you gotta talk to me, so that I can normalize your wrongness and ruin it
19:46:55 Devastator: nah, basically take nothing but maluses in character creation. a minus for not being able to share informaion, and a minus for not being able to share abilities.
