    No judging! I always save scum in StS too, but I only started doing it recently with StS2. I should give DD another shot with that in mind now that you mention it.

    Darkest Dungeon is really fun but the fact that you lose your characters when you die really turns me off.

    I have put maybe 30 hours in it and it's the only mechanic I don't like. I understand it's the core mechanic of the game and it's thematically logical but it doesn't make me want to play it again.

    I don't feel bad about losing in StS and resetting; in Darkest Dungeon, I had to take days/weeks breaks between each failed run.

    Wow!

    I appreciate the thought-out post so much, thank you for taking the time to write it out. I've tried two options that were mentionned in the thread already, but I feel like I should have mentionned deckbuilding in my criteria because it is important for me. Those two games didn't fit the bill.

    I see that all your suggestions have some kind of deckbuilding in it so I'll definitely check those out.

    Do you have a personnal favorite? One you think could stand the test of time as StS does?

    As for your comment on Monster Train, I feel like the 2nd game was more difficult than the first. But you're right, you can get crazy OP stuff in MT that kinda break the run and I kinda dislike being OP.

    Ah, I should have added MT. I did play it! In fact, it's the only games that scratched the itch. MT2 is awesome.

    So, for about 3 years now, the only game I pretty much play has been Slay the Spire. I have about 650 hours on the first game and almost 400 hours on the 2nd one (which came out in march of this year...). I recently beat (again) A20 with all 4 characters and A10 on all 5 characters in STS2.

    I have tried playing other roguelikes, but I always come back to StS because it's the only one that is 1) a difficult enough challenge 2) fun 3) turn based combat 4) intellectually challenging 5) playable with a controller

    I tried Balatro, Dicey Dungeons, Slice and Dice, Darkest Dungeon, Vampire Crawlers, Brotato, TFT, Binding of Isaac, Hades, Gungeon...

    I liked them all, but none of them provide all my 5 criteria, really.

    You guys have any recommendations?

    Good choices! I liked Monster too but I would not recommend it because it really is slow. Also, yeah, SteinsGate 0 is just bad.

    I was actually thinking about this question yesterday.

    My favourite anime is by far Sangatsu No Lion, but it's because I relate so much to the themes that it's able to go beyond a "very good anime" to the best. The journey Rei goes through is much similar to mine and he's really one of the few protagonists I can deeply relate to.

    Frieren is also up there but I'm careful of recency bias.

    As for shounens, HxH for sure. The Nen system is simply awesome and the story is great.

    As a lifelong soccer fan and player, it's not that easy to score even against a team with a man down.

    France (arguably the strongest team in the world atm) only defeated Paraguay 1-0 and it was with a penalty. It's super hard to score when all the other team does is keep its men tightly defending. Dribbling past 1 guy is already hard, put two together and it's almost impossible, which is why so many teams just try crosses until something happens.

    Switzerland defended well and it's why it took so long for Argentine to score, even though they still had a few good chances that got saved by the goalie.

    But yeah, I've drawn games playing with 9 men and won playing with 10, it's the nature of the game, goals are rare.

    I must go with Golden Sun, 1 and 2. I absolutely loved them as a child and I replayed GS1 last year and had a ton of fun. It is kinda easy at times, the hard part is just knowing where to go, but the story and combat are really fun.

    Honestly, well deserved for Kimi. That qualifying session really proved that he deserved the #1 spot. He threw that car around corners beautifully.

    It's a shame that Max couldn't get a proper car on Sunday... I stopped caring for the first quarter of the race because it was just so boring without Max. Also because Kimi got something like a 5 seconds gap within 2 laps, it was gg after that.

    I feel like the penalties and the stop made it somewhat entertaining, but it was still a boring Monaco race-day. There's no way in hell Hadjar keeps his 3rd place on basically any other circuit, but eh, that's Monaco for you.

    Gutting for Russel too. That pass through penalty after a restart just killed his placing in one shot. I feel like him driving slow at the restart was just a "fuck you" to the stewards.

    Maybe beating a certain dungeon or winning a particular game, or something deeply emotionnal for you.

    What is yours?

    I have two and they are both in WoW because I played for 10 years.

    1. Amber Shaper Un'sok. I decided to join a hardcore guild before MoP because I had ambition and wanted to know what it felt like to raid with capable people. It was an awesome 4 years journey that I will never forget.

    When you raid in WoW, it's very rare that the kill relies mostly on 1-2 people, it's always a group effort. That boss was different because there was a mechanic that allowed one random person every ~1min to get transformed and you had specific duties to do and dealt A LOT more damage.

    We kept wiping and wiping because people kept fucking up when they got transformed and I kept thinking "if only it could get back to me, I know what to do, just transform me!" Lo and behold, we got an attempt where I got transformed first and last (before the phase switch).

    We killed that boss on that attempt. It felt so good to "carry" the group!

    1. Last one is with my brother, doing a duo run of MC back in WotLK. It was super easy to do as a raid, but doing it with 1-2 people was definitely still hard.

    See, I almost never played with my brother, ever. But WoW was the first game we played together for real. It was an awesome time.

    Anyways, we had decided to start a guild together, just to have the guild bank lol so one day we decided to run MC to try to get some old stuff that maybe we could sell. We had an absolute blast that night, wiping, having fun, just playing together.

    ...it was 15 years ago and I still haven't had a moment with my brother like that. He ended up quitting WoW a couple months after and I just kept playing. We grew apart and that was that. I still think about that MC run with him from time to time.
