As someone who grew up playing games like World of Warcraft and other AAA titles, I’ve seen how the gaming industry has evolved over the years—and not always for the better. One of the most disturbing trends is the rise of gacha games, which are, at their core, thinly veiled gambling systems targeting younger players. And I...
Don’t know if there are gacha mechanics but Roblox has been widely criticized for basically using child labor. The majority of content is user created. Don’t know how exactly it’s monetized but i can’t imagine it’s good.
I’ve never played a soulslike games because they are a bit intimidating to me. Amy recommendations for soulslikes games to start on or for beginners to the genre?
I played when it first came out, then again around 2018. Felt like a huge waste of potential to me. Unless there’s some legal reason, I absolutely cannot comprehend why a normal pokemon battling system wasn’t included.
Unless doing something besides just reskinning their other game (Ingress?) was too much work.
My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...

I played LoR a good amount over the years and always enjoyed it. I switched to it after many years on Hearthstone but eventually got really tired of the shamelessness of their P2W monetization.
LoR was always so generous to F2P players with cards and game modes. Within the past year or so, my main game mode has been path of champions so I’m not entirely disappointed to see their focus shift to that as the primary game experience.
But the honesty in this FAQs will probably make me go drop a little money in the shop after this.

Dnd (and tabletop gaming in general) is really fun, but I can foresee problems when you try to replace the electronic gambling skinner box of Roblox with a game where the core features are math and imagination.
My partner and I occasionally play games together, but they pretty much only play word puzzle games on their own. I’m not very good at word games though, and they don’t have very good spatial skills, so we frequently find ourselves mismatched. We have a switch and a single decent gaming pc, and a pretty old laptop....

I have not. Especially with the desktop client, which automatically will switch to another server if you get dropped. As far as speeds, I’ve also never noticed a problem but my bottleneck is my ISP so it’s hard to know.
In my opinion, It helps to know the rock bottom basics (like why is this d20 being rolled all the time and what the stats are) but it’s certainly not a necessity.
