  • One complaint I’ve heard about Rogue Legacy is how the cost of stat progression increases. To the point that, for some, they find it difficult to make enough during a run to get upgrades.

    The problem is that they tried to rely on increasing their stats to get better. Instead they should have tried the more difficult challenges and just gotten better.

    I realized after starting a new game just how much better I was than the first time I played.



  • Nier Automata isn’t my favorite story. I’m still confused about some parts of it. But it’s one of the most intriguing stories I’ve ever played.

    The gameplay and understated humor are some of my favorite though. The combat is the absolute perfect mix of complexity to stay interesting and yet simple enough to not be overwhelming. And the chip upgrade system is one of my favorite upgrade systems.


  • I thought Final Fantasy XVI was really great with pacing. There’s a bunch of side missions. But just use a guide when doing monster searches (like I did because I respect my time too much), it doesn’t string you along too much (for an RPG).

    I mentioned elsewhere, Rogue Legacy. The first one paces really well and is very straightforward. It’s pretty brutal, which is great for quick make or break runs instead of letting you grind easy mobs like a lot of Rogues.



  • I’ve found a lot of Roguelikes that I’ve played force you to rebuild your arsenal every game and repeatedly progress through to the same boss that can annihilate you if you didn’t get lucky on your finds or get your timing off.

    One of my favorite Rogue-lites is Rogue Legacy since it doesn’t do that. People complain that it’s brutal. But I find it so much more frustrating to mop up hordes for an hour and get wrecked by one tough opponent to restart from square one.






  • They have repeatedly deemed that states can overrule the federal government when it’s the federal government’s jurisdiction. They have repeatedly deemed the constitution is not enforceable. They have deemed that if they can argue vagueness in wording, it is either all encompassing or entirely non-binding based on the political leanings of issue. They have taken null cases with hypothetical damages in order to make rulings. The 3 Trump appointees deemed Roe v Wade settled law before overturning it.
