Yeah linen and tannin I had to google to figure out. I really enjoy it though, it's a good casual sit back and see the hours go by kind of game

Especially when you forget to speed up the game. I usually have it at 2x but something happens and game speed drops to normal and I start to wonder WTF things are taking so long to get done.

Maybe a little too easy though. Even hardcore mode food is ridiculously easy to get, you just get attacked more

Just got into the auto battle genre this past week. Really enjoying both Underlords and Teamfight Tactics. Think I lean towards TFT but UL has a mobile version so it’s great for airports and other killing time places with the iPad. Anyone else play either?

I downloaded Underlords on my phone the other day and find it to be a bit confusing so far, the tutorial really doesn't do a great job explaining... what exactly I'm supposed to be doing. I mean I understand the basic gist of it, but I don't get at all what the strategies are or how to execute them.

It’s a lot of trail and error to find the right synergies. I’m sure by now somebody has a good site for builds. I’m still trying to find something I enjoy trying to put together in UL, but TFT I really like the noble-ranger-knight combo. Can be tough to get to as it takes some losing before it becomes online. Have to balance losing-money game to make it work.

I recently picked up one of the new versions of the 8bitdo SN30 Pro controllers, and it's the best controller I've ever used for retro games. Hooked up instantly to my Nvidia Shield, works great for all the systems I have on there (NES, SNES, Genesis, Neo-Geo, N64, PS1), and no input lag difference between it and the wired iBuffalo controllers I was using previously. Now I see there's the Pro+ version that should be coming sometime in the next few months, and it looks like an SNES controller and PS4 controller had sex



Compatible with Windows, Android, Switch, and Retropie. Hopefully it doesn't get delayed again, original release date was last Christmas

Playing GTAV mods has evolved into me trying to make my own cars and whatnot for it. Having way to much fun getting the creative juices flowing and sharing them with people, haven't done stuff like this in years.

Just wait until Christmas time and they are almost all put on 50% sale.

I've been playing Dota Auto Chess, and I want to like it, but I also kind of hate it. It feels like it's pretty repetitive and low skill-cap but also really opaque at the same time. Compared to, say, the current build-your-team-as-you-go brawl in Hearthstone, I have way less understanding of why I'm winning or losing.

I finally got the Spider-man expansions. God damn I love this game. Despite the numerous issues it is just so incredibly fun to play.

Also how amazing is it Insomniac released two new suits from the movie a full 10 months after the game was released? What a nice treat for fans.

For me its the amount of rounds it takes to finish a full game. Its too much.

Me And The Boys have been playing a lot of Teamfight Tactics lately.

I hate isometric MOBAs (only really play Smite) but TT is pretty fun with a full Discord of 8 unruly jerks ragging on each others builds and praying for each others death so they can get one more Shen.

Good, casual time when you don't feel like being super attentive to a game but still want to bull#### with the bros.

You would absolutely hate Assassins Creed Odessey. I’ve probably put in 50+ hours and I imagine another 50 may not be enough to finish every quest. GOD was kind of linear in comparison.

I've done everything except for the Atlantis DLC which I decided to wait until all the episodes were released before playing. I put in 162 hours.

You sir are a trooper. I started out trying to do a lot of the side quests but then realized I would probably never finish the game so I have been doing more of the main quests and odd side quest if it's convenient. Which character did you use? I went with Kassandra and am so glad I did as Alexios seems like a neanderthal in comparison. She's one of the best characters in recent years in any game.
