Thank you for contributing to what will become "best practices" for any new instance when the surge of new users from Reddit (as well as spambots) subsides and the situation becomes less chaotic. I hope other instances which blocked yours over the spambots reconsider their decision.

The competitive 100OJ scene is a strange thing given how random this game is and how much your results are dependent on dice rolls, warp panel destinations and other random effects. You get many hilarious situations like rolling four zeroes or getting seagull'd in your face, but if you play it for wins, this can be pretty frustrating.

On the other side, this game is pretty chill and fun, has large userbase and doesn't require much clicks or reaction! So it's perfect for relaxing with friends in a voice chat on a hard day's night.

she is also very expressive for a mute person who can only say HI LEA BYE through a makeshift synthesizer

Well, this answer is basically what I was looking for. So piracy is frowned upon in general public and shouldn't be discussed outside people "in the loop", but some mild elements like account sharing are acceptable. Thanks.

 

I've moved from Russia, where torrents are pretty popular and only recently were mitigated by Steam, to a Nordic country. I don't intend on breaking the law, because my residence is temporary and I have funds to buy games, but I wonder if any of these things found in Russia or other Eastern European countries are accepted by people in the Nordics:

  • Local torrent trackers and torrenting in general
  • "Unofficial" streaming services
  • Fan translations
  • Renting and exchanging games
  • Account sharing
  • Selling and installing hardware hacks (e.g. Nintendo Switch homebrew chips)

...so I don't meet confused glances when I mention these Russian "customs" when chatting with locals. Mentioning specific services is not required, of course, I'm just trying to read the atmosphere.

If you prefer some story-heavy games, you can try Eastward. It has gorgeous art style and controls and UI are a great fit for handheld devices such as Deck and Switch. It takes ~15% battery a hour and can be completed in 10 to 15 hours.

If you're fine with longer games which will take 45-70 hours total, try some 2D JRPGs like Trails in the Sky FC (which also has nice touch input in menus!), Trails from Zero and Chained Echoes. All tree aren't battery-heavy at all.
