Thracia 776 has level up RNG, every attack and staff has at best a 99% hit rate, and my god is there movement RNG, for you and the enemy. yet somehow. it remains peak

Xcom disagrees with this being a bad take. The original and the new.

And make them all dlc. Finally got that rng save? Gotta fork over $1.98.

you have not seen the glory of rng based saving

Having your save file corrupted after 30 hours of a game is one of the greatest joys of gaming.

Is that actually your 6th piece of advice or was that number picked by RNG?

RNG movement can work if done right and fits the game's mechanics, I feel like. Would be interesting to see a game actually attempt that lmao

Do it - @crendor.bsky.social would play it.

Rng movement would be fine if its like a core mechanic and the game is designed for it. Could be fun

The game constantly makes a one in one thousand roll and if it ever lands on "666" the game jumps cares the player. And if it lands on "3" you get shown pictures of cat.

TLDR: heart attack RNG

Just make it luck based that the game will load 😂
