Archmage was indeed very nice!

Huh that’s interesting, thanks for letting me know. I’ll check it out.
- Comment on Is there something similar to the old Might and Magics? 3 days ago:
Thanks, I’ll give it a go then.

Thank you Barony seems quite interesting, and I’ll keep it in mind. For the current moment, though, I would like to scratch an itch of something with a proper campaign instead of a roguelike. But seems up my alley for later.

This sounds great, I will look for it and give it a try! Thank tou.

Legend of grimrock cannot be paused, can it?
I had seen it getting played, but somehow I think this turns me off. Optional pausing for issuing commands would be perfect, but real time only would be too stressing I believe.
But I’m willing to try if recommended enough.

Eh, it is not a genre by itself, I was referring to roguelike as more of an archetype of short, repeating game loops that have progression by unlocking things and increasing difficulty.
As for the genre itself, you can have many different types of games. As I said, slay the spire is probably the best deck building game, monster train is similar in some ways but is more tower-defense like and more combo-y, slice and dice is tactical dice-based, Brotato is more arcade-y rpg-like combat. Hades is tactical arcade combat, but needs two hands. Balatro is poker-card-based combo-y puzzle. Dungeons of dredmor is a bit older but very fun actual Rogue-like game. Caves of Qud is similar but very complex and deep and harder. Inscription is another fun card-based game, but is more of an one-off mysterious experience rather than repeatable a lot.
You can certainly find something that interests you.

Is tales good? I have got it some years ago, never got to starting it yet. But seemed interesting.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 1 week ago:
Congratulations!
Anectodally from other fathers in my cycle, roguelikes are the genre for dads now. Especially things like Slay the Spire, Monster Train and the like.
You are generally a bit sleep deprived, because you have to sacrifice sleep for entertainment, therefore you tend to prefer one-off games then end in about an hour or so, instead of story rich games like bg3, because you don’t have the energy or mental capacity to remember what’s going on every time you begin a gaming session.
After a while, about a year in, things settle a bit and you start more complex one-off games, like dota, path of exile and so.
Second child and on, maintain same pattern because you already know how to handle things with the kids. It’s a lot easier.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 1 week ago:
A little bit of Brotato and Slice and Dice because I need to be one-armed when holding the baby and is sleeping on my shoulder.
Otherwise, a bit of Dota2 lately. I have to finish up on Tainted Grail on the backburner.
- Comment on your mom falls significantly faster than g 2 months ago:
If the earth would be accelerating towards you, then g would be less than 9.81.
Think of free falling, where your experienced g would be 0.

Could have started with lead directly. Why go the extra mile.

Aren’t all sprites prerendered? What is the alternative, hand drawn ones? That would go waaay back…
- Comment on I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. 3 months ago:
I am not sure prerendered describes ja2 and fallout (some of the best games tbh). Aren’t those just sprites?
The rest I have not played.

Yes but what kind of frogs? Ice frogs?

You’d have died either way most likely. Git gud.

Slice and dice is similarly fun.

Sorry, the greatest Rpg remains planescape Torment.

Well, OP could always play BG1 and BG2 which are still two of the greatest games ever.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 5 months ago:
Path of exile is superior.
- Comment on Why do I need to update my graphics drivers? 5 months ago:
Does this on my work computer by waking from sleep occasionally. I want to hit it with a brick. Can’t change any settings due to policy configurations or shit.

Well, not harder. Impossible. That’s my gripe.

Your argument sounds OK, but is probably stuck a bunch of years in the past. I observe the opposite lately.
Like I want to do something trivial on windows, like move the fucking taskbar on the left side of the screen, I have spent time searching and it still does not work. At lest on Linux if something does not work you have a leg to work on and a community to help. Have you seen the windows forums when encountering an issue? It’s tragic.
