    Yeah, I had 50 stam on ADK team and wanted to go to bed, so went in with a 30% light resist just to see - walk in the park, even got 2 mlks and a dragon out of it lol. Weirdly I'm sure I used to have a light ripper on that account, I must have sold it by accident.

    In a show where one of the characters is a clone of Hitler that's married to a holographic anime character, you find the most unrealistic thing to be that a rich person is working for a spy agency ? ;p I dunno about the CIA, but MI6 has had quite a lot of rich people working there. For the...

    Dropbox has almost no functional overlap with calibre. Calibre is like the xbmc of books, it's main attraction is the full metadata lookup including series, combined with tagging and enormous flexibility in search/custom lists etc. There's a variety of useful plugins too, particularly quality check.

    StarDrive - Now with fucking Space Bears

    It's not impossible in theory, just as it's not impossible that a major MMO is launched with zero server stability problems - it's just very, very hard to do. Bugs that take 20 hours to reproduce are typically pretty hard for programmers to track down. 4x games generally get exponentially more...

    StarDrive - Now with fucking Space Bears

    Not good news on that front I'm afraid - with max size/races/difficulty, it ran normally for an hour or so, after an hour it became noticeably lagged at 4X speed ( although still normal at 1X speed ), after 3 hours it crashed.

    Vampire lord is for mono dark teams - as with all mono teams you want orb changers, so you aren't stuck holding your dick with a board full of every color but your one. Vamp is dual duty, as he covers leader and heal->dark. You want to get a mystic dark knight as a high priority ( light-> dark...

    I don't think the AI actually designs ships, it just uses pre-made templates - these seem to be portable though, and it will use ones that you make too. Some potential there for user made ship packs.

    StarDrive - Now with fucking Space Bears

    I haven't seen anything like that, although I get occasional pauses when a lot of stuff is happening at once. I'll try a max size/races game and let it run by itself for a while and see if it bites it. No, the only limitation is build time and maintenance cost.

    Odin/Healer won't work I think - the high end technicals are all gimmick dungeons, like can only take green in, or no leader skills work and shit like that.

    You should try unlocking skeletons and making a skeleton archer. Crazy strong at lower levels, especially against adventurer parties - love splattering them all over the landscape with a scatter shot from behind cover ;p

    StarDrive - Now with fucking Space Bears

    Update on this one after 8 hours or so: The game is quite fun, but it's well hidden under a pretty terrible UI. So many little things could make it flow, but aren't there - leaving it as kind of a confusing mess. One of the big problems is scale - everything is at semi realistic proportions...

    Horus is the top dps leader, bastet is a high tier leader that's easier to use than horus. Ra is almost impossible to use effectively unless you have amazing skills, fuma is an fantastic mono light team member. Fafnir is very useful in horus team due to dual colors, undine and ice golem are...

    In PAD Odin doesn't count as a norse god - he's a special god that only shows up during godfest, regardless of what type of godfest it is.

    Actually, if memory serves, gvalk healer team + viper friend is favored as one of the better teams for a zero stone clear of Hera. Mostly because going autoheal + resolve leads to awful damage which makes the early trash rounds deadly dangerous, but valk lets you keep decent dps, utility and...

    With the buff to starter dragons in 5.0 they are viable substitute for norse gods, which makes all the 4X teams farmable - some easier than others, given valk dungeon is stupid hard for example. Also farmable - 6.25X ADK team, dragon team, 9X zeus team, 6.25X valk team.

    Yeah ToME is my pick for best of the current roguelikes. There is a huge number of classes and they are all very unique - the default talent trees put most AAA games to shame, plus the various ones unlockable via ingame events for further customisation. About the only downside is the world is...

    Just a quick heads up for the people playing multiple accounts. After the update upgrades your first account, you will need to copy the two files from the lib directory of that account to the other account folders before you use them. ( otherwise the game won't start )

    I can't see how it wouldn't - you don't really have a save, just an authentication token for your account, all the data is actually server side. You can regenerate all the other files if you still have data048.bin

    Totally different type of game, despite the similar setting. Endless space is kind of civ in space style, with the focus on deep research trees and developing worlds etc. The combat is pretty sketchy and almost completely non interactive. Stardrive is all about the combat, from designing...

    I checked it out before - it has some nice improvements that PAD should really steal off them*, but I didn't really like the art style, and found the near total lack of useful information offputting. Update and event wise it seemed to be pretty much 100% PAD clone - e.g. weekly event for +chance...

    Yeah, if you want to do dps speedruns on expert you'll want to watch that one - pure luck it didn't end in tears for me ( my dps team is usually <10k but had 10600 due to a high level thor helper, heh )

    Lakshmi is an good starter ( and is getting buffed too ! ) and works well with the blue dragon. Long term you want to get a blue mystic knight, a blue champion ( siegfried ), a siren and neptune/viper. Unfortunately the blue knight is pretty rare, and you can only get blue champion from the rare...

    Different section - it's under preferences, import/export, metadata plugboards I have one I copied from the examples more or less - it says for format epub, for device (my device), rename the title to "{series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] - }{title}" which takes something like "A Memory of...

    Take a look at the plugboard options in calibre - one of the example plugboards is one that renames your books to 'series number - title' or whatever you want when you send it to your device.

    I reckon it could do with some bodies and blood, but that's the kind of thing that could reasonably be skipped for an alpha.

    2 parvati leaders, 2 ADKs and 2 Chu-Chulain. It's pretty flexible though, just sub in whatever greens are about if you don't have those, odin, graviton dragon, wind mech, ceres, fafnir, green golem etc.

    I don't think that's right - the final evolution of the starters gives them 2xatk and 2xrcv skill no ? Some of the misc changes I saw for monster skills were blue odin, minerva and hino kag's active skill increasing to 50x attack. Newbie toy dragons now start with the orb change skill so you...
