Gog is running a dungeon crawler promo sale and I must say some of them look fantastic. I should probably resist since I have no time for games...
And this has stopped who, ever?

Send me other fun games on Android. Preferably free. I'm bored and my vast stash of fanfic only goes so far.![]()
The complete Arvil Bren's Journal is usually a two day read. Hint, hint.
So what ? I've now fully accepted that I'll probably not touch most of my GOG purchases until I'm retired. I see this as a long-term investment.Gog is running a dungeon crawler promo sale and I must say some of them look fantastic. I should probably resist since I have no time for games...

The link in my sig is a good shortcut if your reader can pick it up.![]()
I can recommend Quantum, Universe and Seedship.
Sadly sig doesn't appear on mobile.
Imterestongly though i actually once got calibres server function to cooperate with my port forwarding so i could access my library from anywhere in the world with internet connection. Passworded of course. But it was kind of pointless at the time so i never bothered again.
I have put maybe an hour into Darkest Dungeon. I get the feeling this game is going to make me hate it. I almost freaking died just getting to the city in the first 10 minutes with unlucky crits and misses.

You very likely will. I really love Darkest Dungeon's aesthetic. It has fantastic atmosphere. But the game is designed to be artificially punishing. You can do everything right and still lose all of your painstaking progress in a single dungeon simply because that's the way the RNG crumbles. You can play optimally and still get screwed.
The only way I could redeem that game was by cheating. I cheat in most games, but with rogue-likes I am intrigued by the idea of progressing to the point where the game is no longer challenging. You've figured out the enemies, the best tactics, etc, and now you can get to the end game. I don't cheat in Binding of Isaac, for example. But Darkest Dungeon... no. Just no.

But the worst thing is that there are no interchanges to connect two highways. You can have one go under another one perpendicularly, but there's no easy, good way to connect them at that junction. You have to do all that with stand-alone on-ramps and side streets.
The highways in SimCity are interesting but they're a half-assed implementation. You can only build on-ramps at street-highway crossing and then only if you have the correct number of tiles. You also can't create those intersection on a diagonal, which is another headache. But the worst thing is that there are no interchanges to connect two highways.

One nice use I have found for them is that they make a nice barrier. I can use them to build a ring around empty land like a big O shape. I build the city all around the outside of the O and then put light industrial stuff and a surface-water barrier (moat) around that on the inside of the O. This provides jobs and a way to get to the jobs without too much pollution affecting the city. It's not ideal (industrial zones should be at the edges and corners of maps to minimize pollution) but it works on maps with limited land availability like the islands map I'm currently playing on.
