But if you weren’t necessarily a fan of the books, it might not have made a lot of sense why there was a winged gargoyle creature jumping at the screen</span></li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">DQ of the Stars</span></li> <li style="list-style: none; display: inline"> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Mobile gacha</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Plays like a normal RPG in some ways, very much like an automated gacha in others</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It has the same kind of upgrade system as stuff like FF Brave Exvius and FF Record Keeper</span></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Support the Podcast</span> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">patreon.com/geektogeekcast</span></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Network Talk!</span></li> <li style="list-style: none;
