I know that mumble can be installed from flathub, so mumble should be usable. But you use mumble pusth to talk feature while playing games?

Quoting: mZSq7Fq3qsDied maybe 8 times today but it was always my own fault.

Caves of Qud does still occasionally have a problem, where you just end up dying and you didn't really have any reasonable way to avoid it. Stumbling into ruins as a low-level character and being ambushed by a chitinous puma that you can neither run away from or kill or running into a surprise rifle turret around a corner and being instantly killed sucks. On this aspect I think Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup does better, because it feels like 95% of deaths are due to hubris or panicking whereas CoQ deaths are sometimes super unavoidable unless you grind very hard early on and maintain a paranoid playstyle.

But the Roleplay mode helps immensely and if you want a character to last I recommend it highly. Qud has a ton of content already and permadeath eats a lot of low-level characters, so it's fairly hard to get to the meat and potatoes part of the game with it enabled.

Thanks for the tip. Never tried stone soup.

I feel that permadeath is big part of roguelikes but probably will give roleplay mode at some time.

Big part also why COQ feels so good right now is that it has a quite unique theme (atleast for me ).

I've played nethack a lot lately and it feels fun to be in a sci-fi setup.

I've said it before, but I believe that permadeath in CoQ is an artifact left over from early in development, when the game was a more traditional roguelike. The game itself has strayed considerably from those roots and become a much different experience. Outside of challenge runs like the dailies, it's now more focused on the story and worldbuilding, which is very hard to appreciate when you're constantly being sent back to the beginning thanks to bad luck.

Ok, I undestand wha you mean. Is there any penalty for dying? Other than youll go back to the starting location?

Quoting: SamsaiIt is a fun game where you can slice off your own face with an axe and then wear your face on your face, or psionically take over a goat and then have your character be digested by a gelatinous wedge and be doomed to live the rest of your life as a goat. So, basically it's a great experience.

Your comment made me buy this game. Loving it.

awesome! Also not awesome. There is no way that i am gonna touch that game.

A while ago I started playing it on hard, because I am no pussy that's why. Big mistake. :grin:

It is actually a really good game. One complaint I have is about the alien behavior. Without spoiling anything, sometimes it felt like in some older shooter games, when the enemy is behind a wall and does not see you, but still points their gun at you when you move around. Like it's not aware of you, but also is aware of you at the same time. Breaks the immersion a bit.

Anyway, don't play on hard.

there a lots of awesome videos about alien AI in that game. Maybe on hard it is cheating a little, but there is controller that guides that alien, alien should not know where you are, but that controller does.

I truly did enjoy all the lying and misspromotion of HELLO GAMES and all that sweet drama. But after all these years it might finally be time to buy this game.

Hades is probably the first game that I return to with the deck. I think that it is perfect game to take along.
