^ I do feel you there; I...definitely can't take on any more than the two I'm already playing right now, and that's considering the fact that I only really do the login bonuses sometimes and call it a day.

If you are interested in FEH though, it's not a bad time to jump in! The Three Houses CYL is on the 18th and, beyond being popular characters that you might like, these units look like they're going to be preeetty overpowered. Plus, you get to pick one for free, which only happens once a year from the top 4 voted characters!

Ngl, sometimes I'll download a game during a promotion/event like this, link my account to Google Play/Facebook/whatever they use, and then just delete it and come back to it when I actually want to play it >__>

I think I've played all of those games for a time, Shan LOL.

I can't remember; are the last two completely different, or did they share some obvious similarities/were probably by the same company?

^ That makes sense! I remember them both having pretty nice art though!

With the new FEH units, It took me an hour and 1000+ orbs, but I managed to finally +10 my Brave Dimitri. B') The brave units in general are pretty powerful, so it's nice you get to choose a free one.

And in other news, Genshin Impact is now for pre-registration on the App Store and Google Play! I've been loosely following this game for a while, so I'm definitely curious about how it's going to run.

Majority of my game apps on my phone are either text based adventure games and find an object games. :lol:

I highly recommend the text based adventure games though, more specifically from Choice of Games (CoG) and Hosted Games (HG). Both uses CScript on creating their text based adventure games but those under the CoG titles are hired by CoG themselves and received advances but must follow CoG guidelines while HG are for those independent writers less guidelines needed. Majority of the titles here are quite inclusive in terms of characters genders and preferences, your choices depends on the author's style and capabilities. There are some stories that are quite linear but the cast of characters and made up for it but some authors are quite good in making your choices matter. You have to keep in mind that majority of these authors are individuals and work separately from each other. Of course, this are entirely text based so no visuals. Another thing that is they are one time payment too and no premium payment like Choices. Also they are all available on Steam, their website, iOS and Playstore.

Here are some of my favorites with their demo if you're interested and I have copied the summary found in their title cover for your easy browsing:

Choice of Games
1. Heart of the House by Nissa Campbell - "What will you sacrifice when trapped in a haunted manor? Will you destroy this evil or claim its power? And can love bloom in a haunted house?"

Demo: https://www.choiceofgames.com/heart-of- ... e=ourgames

2. 180 Files: The Aegis Project by Karelia Hall - "Uncover a web of evil as an elite superspy! Solve problems with guns, gadgets, and devastating quips. Break rules, break hearts–don’t break cover."

Demo: https://www.choiceofgames.com/aegis-project-180-files/

3. Tally Ho by Kreg Segall - "Being the perfect gentleman’s gentleman or lady’s lady doesn’t make you an angel. Can you untangle the knotty problems with elegance and unruffled grace?"

Demo: https://www.choiceofgames.com/tally-ho/ ... e=ourgames

4. Mecha Ace: Heroes of the Vedrian War by Paul Wang - "Step into the cockpit of a giant “mecha” robot, dueling with plasma sabers in an interstellar civil war!"

Demo: https://www.choiceofgames.com/mecha-ace ... e=ourgames

5. The Superlatives: Aetherfall by Alice Ripley - "Lead a superpowered team of “Superlatives” to defend 19th-century Victorian London! Battle a Martian warship, clockwork monsters, and nefarious inventors."

Demo: https://www.choiceofgames.com/superlati ... e=ourgames

There's a lot more here: https://www.choiceofgames.com/category/our-games/

As for my favorite Hosted Games:

1. Wayhaven Chronicles series by Mishka Jenkins - "Your first case as a detective is forcing you to open your eyes to a world bigger than you thought." More character driven and emphasizes on relationships. Seven parts and Book 2 was the latest release. The author is currently working on Book 3.

Demo - Book 1: https://www.choiceofgames.com/user-cont ... e=ourgames

2. Samurai of Hyuga series by Devon Connell - "Prepare to enter the land of silk and steel, a harsh world with tough choices at every turn. Good thing you’re the toughest ronin around!"

Disclaimer: Book 3 and onwards get into darker territory. It's Shonen feel during Book 1 to 2 and then turn into Seinen during Book 3 onwards. I only recommend this for anime lovers and like gritty stuff like GoT level gritty or Basilisk level and it has trigger warning on each book so read them carefully. I really love the realistic aspects of the story and characters all around the Ronin (the MC) even though it's linear. A six title series. Book 4 is the latest one and Book 5 is currently worked on by the author.

Demo - Book 1: https://www.choiceofgames.com/user-cont ... e=ourgames

3. Evertree In series by Thom Baylay - "Check-in to this magical tale of murder and mystery! Can you uncover the secrets of Evertree Inn and become the hero, or will it all end in blood?" Fantasy and Mystery? Sign me right up! The author haven't disclosed how many they write yet but so far Book Two (Sordwin) was the latest release and Book three (Lux) is currently on beta.

Demo - Book 1: https://www.choiceofgames.com/user-cont ... e=ourgames

4. Fallen Heroes series by Malin Rydén - "They called you a hero; you call them fools. Use your telepathy to romance old friends and fight new enemies as you become the greatest villain ever known!" A four part series. The author is currently working on the second one.

Demo - Book 1:https://www.choiceofgames.com/user-cont ... e=ourgames

Other Hosted Games: https://www.choiceofgames.com/category/user-made-games/

I don't like stat heavy titles but there are ones like that for those who like min-maximizing like The Lost Heir(HG) and Choice of Rebels (CoG).

Gosh darnit.

I'm trying to collect all the dragons in Fire Emblem Heroes, and I'm only missing a handful. Whenever they come back into focus rotation, I get drained of my orbs and get NOTHING BUT GARBAGE. I am DROWNING in feathers. The game is determined to never give me the last 7 dragons I don't have and instead give me 5 stars I don't want, ever.

Example: Trying to pull IduunXFae duo unit, gives me no reds, pulls colorless because Faye is an OK alternative;

Gives me Spring!Bruno.

^ Sometimes I'm fully convinced that the game somehow knows what I want and purposefully just avoids giving it to me for this very reason

:( I'm sorry to hear that though, ugh! It's always super frustrating.
