  • Pathos NetHack (The OG Roguelike’s very newbie friendly fork and UI)

    Rogue Saga (A simple, bare bones Roguelike, nice for a casual run)

    Orna (If old school Final Fantasy were Pokemon Go, and didn’t have predatory monetization schemes) Heroes of Aethric is its non-GPS sibling.

    Most of my free android games came from when Amazon did its Amazon Underground thing years ago, so you’re kinda SoL on that, sorry.





  • Technically, random race/class/etc upon a new life is really more common with Roguelites. (You kinda acknowledge that, but roll with me. Trying to be facetious with the Roguelike snobbery thing, not sure if I pulled it off lol)

    Traditional Roguelikes usually let you pick what kind of fresh Hell you’re setting yourself up for.

    …So maybe this is Roguelike rules.

    You fuckin chose your species, religion, and class.
    Just not how much food you get to eat, what books you get the chance to read (without tremendous effort on your part) and when you will die.

    Oh, sweet heavens, this is so much worse! We did this to ourselves




  • I choose to try not to pirate, and thus this kinda thing absolutely pisses me off because this is so disingenuous, because I dig into the nitty gritty of how to do all this stuff legit.

    Randomizers alone make Nintendo games in particular so much more alive, and all but require the use of ripping software and quite often emulators.
    These emulators can make even current titles look even more beautiful and play more smoothly than their native platform, too.

    Yeah, people are going to pirate using this stuff, but its wrong to treating the tools themselves as being inherently bad. They are quite often used by people who care very much about these games, and do give fair financial support to Nintendo.


  • I mean, I know you’re looking for piracy sources, but the 3D printing sphere is pretty much full of tech hippies.

    This may go against the spirit of this server and all, but if you’re just looking to print for personal use, there’s a very real possibility that you can just ask.

    I’ve hit up a few people before, stating that I wanted to print their STLs for my own personal use and sometimes they said no, but more than half the time, they just let me have it.

    Usually something like:

    “Hey, your project looks really great! I’ve been on a bit of a tight budget lately, but I do have my old printer and some filament lying around- would it be possible to get a copy of your STL files pro bono?
    I would love to get my hands on it, and will definitely post a make to your page!”
    (It definitely helps if you have some quality finished product images, so you’re kinda free advertising for them)

    I don’t make the personal choice to pirate, (and I’m not here to judge) but I figured my kinda approach still may suit your needs.
