I can’t help but respect spy mains because they play by far the weakest merc in the game. If your team has a somewhat competent pyro on spy duty they don’t get to do anything.

Am I weird for thinking both of these options look great?

Simon’s Quest doesn’t deserve to be called a bad game. The music and graphics are quite good for the NES and the open structure of the game was quite novel and many elements like the leveling system became staples of the series from SotN onward. The thing that really holds it back is the terrible english translation which makes the puzzles way harder than they need to be.

Sure there aren’t that many cards but those cards are so well balanced. Every single card has its uses so you’re constantly presented with interesting decisions. It feels like almost every other roguelike has dead time where you’re just going through the motions whereas in slay the spire you’re making decisions from floor 1.

This is the first I hear about tri-Ace games. Thanks!

I’ve played Persona 4 and 5 and am really looking forward to P3 Reloaded but it’s not quite the same enjoyment I found in those games as in the mainline SMT games. Party composition is not as much of a thing in Persona. I’ve seen Etrian Odyssey mentioned a few times before in the Megaten fandom so it seems like something I’d be into. The mainline games I’ve played are Nocturne, SMTIV and SMTV. I’m definitely playing Strange Journey next and then maybe Digital Devil Saga.

Would you like them to test on you instead?

I understand limiting saves to avoid savescumming. Not allowing you to save and quit whenever you want in Funger makes no sense though. I quickly installed a mod for Termina to suspend and resume the game because it’s ridiculous to have to play 3+ hours straight before being allowed to close the game.

I really like the current arc in the manga actually. It is a struggle though… So many characters to keep track of, I forget most of them. It could be so much better if someone else took over drawing it but the actual plot is good: Phantom troupe, Hisoka and Kurapika all being near each other is exciting and Tseriednich is shaping up to be a great villain.
