Other Games / Re: Star Trek Fleet Command
Last post by Xev - September 13, 2023, 09:19:54 PMFinally had to give this game up.
I became disgusted with the whole playing model and decided that I didn't want to support it anymore due to it is wrong. Dunno what took me so long to get to this point. Think it was because I didn't expect that from a Star Trek game. I've always been pretty happy with Trek games.
STFC preys on people who are willing to spend completely unreasonable amounts of cash to 'win'. We are talking hundreds or even thousands of dollars... in an average week or maybe even in a day. On a regular basis. You have no chance whatsoever to be in the top 5% of this game without spending more than what most people spend on house payments. This game just isn't that good.. No game is..
It was the tedious progression with tedious tasks that just kept piling up with their short timers that originally turned me off and then I was like, what am I doing all this for anyway? I have no chance to be competitive in this game anyway. And I don't want to support it by being a part of it because what they are doing is wrong. The increasing requirements of time to do tedious tasks on short timers as one progresses is wrong and selling wins is wrong - selling them for SO much is very very wrong.

Other Games / Re: Marvel SNAP!
Last post by Xev - August 30, 2023, 06:21:27 AMRight??!?
I just now completed 3 dailies..... by Losing a hand. I don't even have to win!! Just have to....play.
Well, not usually... Occasionally winning is required to complete a task but unless its like a BattlePass quest from a BP that's about to end there's no rush to complete the task and even if I don't finish a BP it's no tragedy.
A BP quest from day 1 can be completed on the last day. Dailies (2 of these trickle in every 8 hours up to a max of 8 ) can be done in any order and with rare exception an uncompleted Daily will always eventually complete itself without any effort on my part other than.. playing for fun. Weeklies can be completed without finishing all Dailies and not finishing a Weekly is no tragedy.
There are some very minor and very temporary changes in play that will help/are required to complete a small amount of BP quests and Dailies but for the most part just playing for fun completes tasks and the quests just serve to make play more interesting and provide a reason to receive lewt.
There's no mindless, repetitive, grinds. There's clocks but they are very forgiving and if I don't keep to them it's no tragedy and progression can still be steady without feeling like I had any tragic loss in the effort to keep up with the Joneses.
~~~~
Kinda totally unrelated, but, the Art on most of the cards is really good!
They can be upgraded too to add a lil more flair with each upgrade and upgrading the card's appearance gives points for lewt. It's a major part of the game. Card art upgrade points come directly from winning any hand. I think sometimes the best loot in the game (if the RNG gods are merciful) comes from upgrading a card's appearance with enough points. So I get uber loot from guilty pleasure (cosmetic upgrades).

One of my favorite things about this game up to this point is it's not a job.

Ya know?
I'm completely fed up with games that get me on a clock. It becomes a Daily Chore and the more I progress the more clocks I get. Oh and when I'm on the clock every single day I'm not playing for fun - I'm doing mindless, repetitive, tasks to fulfill daily and battle pass quests. When I'm done with that I can play for fun but I generally have to log off when/before the tasks are done. If I don't keep up with the daily clocks I feel like I'm falling behind competitively with other players.
Marvel SNAP, I log in, whenever (generally 30 mins to 2 hours a day and I could skip days if I wanted). Play for fun. Some time before it feels like time to log off my dailies and the battle pass complete themselves. I very mostly only play people near my skill/deck (gear) level which is gradually improving so I feel like I'm progressing. I have no fear whatsoever of falling behind. I play on my schedule and how I want to and the quests complete themselves. There are options, not requirements at all, to progress further, on my schedule, if I have more time to spend in the game (which I never do but I will this winter). If I don't put in the extra time, I still do perfectly well in my bracket. That's.... how ya do it......... I'm still kinda new to the game so I hope it's always like this.

Other Games / Re: Marvel SNAP!
Last post by Xev - August 22, 2023, 08:50:20 PMThe big official launch for the PC version of Marvel SNAP starts...... today. Should be able to link my phone/tablet/PC to share the same gmail account. I'm guessing there's gonna be a giveaway or two this week.
I'm about to give it a try. Lil' theatrical trailer to mark the start of the event:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hmPpS4dpqo
-------------------
Downloaded and tried! Yipeee!
Man, games are just better on big screens than tiny tablets and phones. Luv the PC layout! The sound is so much better too. Forgot how much I like the SNAP music.
Can't drag the PC to the stationary bike or.... bio relief station. Tablet will rule there. Otherwise it's PC all the way.

Last post by Xev - August 19, 2023, 05:46:46 AMYeah this is a great game.
I'm not playing since a year or so ago but did sneak on not toooo long ago during a Klingon recruit event and snagged a coupon for a free T6. Have at least 1 free experimental slot waiting in inventory and I dunno what else.
Sometimes I wish I'd have never left. Went to try something new I'd really been wanting to try and the next thing I knew a year or two passed and I was un-immersed. I'm really good at that..
Grats on re-immersion.
