tbh cookie clicker is an icon, I still play her occasionally
a well-made clicker game is legit more entertaining than dota.

Also if someone could point me in the right direction in regards to PC building that would be nice
Budget is $1000 but will probably go lower

Thanks guys. That thread helps a lot.
i dont remember this
yup
RX 470 good value if you can't get a 1060.
BX200 is a piece of shit though, seriously, do not buy it.

Do you mean the RX480? AIB versions of the 1060 are already slated to be out before the AIB versions of the 1060. What's wrong with the BX200? I hadn't heard anything bad about it.
He's buying in AUS I thought so whatever he can get at not stupid prices is good. Meant 470 to fit that.
BX200 = Slow, dies at any load, piece of shi, crucial should be ashamed

That is correct although buying PC parts at not stupid prices is impossible here.

Yea I tried to get a decent setup on that site but just an i5-6500 and motherboard came out to half the budget. Are there alternative retailers for Aus? It's looking more like an i3 might be a better bet given that i5's are like $300AU.

Man, r/truedota is really fun to read. I wish it was more densely populated but overall, it consists entirely of topics that are interesting to me.
- No cosmetics
- No drama
- No pro player tweet discussion garbage
- Few memes
- No Twitch chat emotes
All gameplay and balance. Clearly, one better take their advice with a grain of salt because the MMR of the people is not disclosed but a worthy read usually nevertheless. I have truly learned a few things.

Please. Gabe didn't give a shit until Valve was also getting slammed since they were enabler of this shit for years since TF2 got hats.
It is all just to not get sued themselves.
Basically.
Alhtough I ask out of ignorance, but was there ever a gambling problem in TF2 before all the CSGO stuff happened?

no afaik
it was all about rushing and playing lottery with keys trying to get Numbered Hats for profit.
I remember those days, I used to play TF2 back then til about 2011 (when I got into the Dota beta).

The gambling didn't actually come until Dota 2 came out since TF2 didn't have an actually popular competitive scene. However, all the trading, scamming, key selling and stuff was done through Valve's own API.
Not sure if sarcasm...it did at one point.
Thought you were just referencing TF2's and forgot about Dota's, a lot of people forgot about Dota's.

I made about £30 selling cosmetics the other day, just had a lina set sitting in my inventory that was worth £8 as well as a dozen or so other £2 - £4 sets.
Bought Necropolis with the money and I'm glad I didn't pay for it with actual money, it's just a roguelike without any of the stuff that makes a roguelike fun.
Nice art style but not worth the money.

GabeN always get's paid
Also it's way too hard to figure out what is good game anymore. Too much of the indie press/twitch are paid or ex-games press.
i'm so disappointed with necropolis ):
i haven't actually played it yet btu i was really looking forward to it before it came out and people were all super down on it
hopefully it'll get updated and made better - it is a roguelikelike after all, and that's common
plus they made the shadowrun returns games, and those have gotten progressively better!

Can't forget the old TF2 Golden Wrench.
It's main problem is it's complete lack of content, you see the same stuff over and over again, you unlock more content for the random generator as you play the game, but by that point, you've already beaten the final boss and there's nothing that makes you feel like you want to play through it again because the content you unlock isn't particularly meaningful, it's just new rooms and a few new enemies and enemy variations.
The only things to unlock that are persistent are character colours and books which don't tell you what they do and what they usually do is a very minor stat change, meaning you've spent all this time grinding tokens for nothing really.
There's a lot of weapons in the game but aside from enemy resistances they are all pretty much the same with nothing really interesting, it's either a short sword moveset, sword moveset, greatsword moveset, axe moveset or a hammer moveset, with a few elemental variations that just add a elemental aoe onto your special attacks.
The spells in the game aren't really that interesting, and design wise they serve a very similar role to potions and what always disappointed me is when you defeat a mage enemy and they drop some kind of staff, but you just use it as a hammer and there's no spells to go with it.
There's no satisfying sense of character progression in the main game loop, you can upgrade your health, you can pick up armour sets that increase your health and you can pick up different weapons, that's it, you can't spend your money to upgrade your stamina instead of your health or your speed or defense or anything, so every run feels exactly the same character wise.
There are different player classes in the game, but they're unfinished and unplayable (as in, you can't select them via normal means, not that they're broken or something), but apparently the only difference between them is a few stat changes and, for one of the classes, a different attack with the shield.
I played through it with a friend and the most fun we had was watching the credits and trying to wrap our heads around just how many people it took to make this.
I fucking love the art style of the game, but as someone with a bit of an interest in game design, I think the game is shoddy at best honestly, massively disappointed in it and it's not worth £20.
I will say that I enjoyed it at the start at least, but that's because I thought it showed a lot of promise, maybe it's better to have that bit of enjoyment when you start and then have it crushed than to not have that enjoyment at all?
I mean it's still better than any of the shit I've ever made at the end of the day, and if you have a friend to play through it with you'll probably have some fun with it.
