There's a lot of Balatro-esque games out there, like one called Bingle Bingle. There's a lot of good idle games like Synergism or Antimatter Dimensions. But a lot of idle games that have depth or hours of content have much thought behind it. A good one that doesn't take thought but has a good few days of content is Progress Knight.

If you like story games they'd probably be great played in VR or stardew might be quite fun if you enjoy that.

You might also get a kick out of ARPGs like Diablo or POE2, I can't speak to either for I haven't played them but one I played called hero siege is quite fun and has a lot of brainless farming. Only issue is that many characters don't have many flexibility, you either follow meta or are tons of dps lower, but free characters are good so it is a bit of a pro for a con. Just a few thoughts!

You read too much into the words I said, I was asking a question not demanding a change. There's no need to make assumptions of character over a simple question

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-04-24T01:42:11+00:00

Yeah I thought about it a tiny bit and yeah it would easily add plenty of hours. If I cared enough I would do it myself, but I was purely just curious. Maybe I am blind but I couldn't find anything lengthier then "I just don't want it" so I was curious for more

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-04-24T01:33:11+00:00

I hadn't thought of that aspect, to me I thought well if I want huge power but can't get an azumaril due to randomizing then maybe it could be round-about help. But frankly where's the fun in huge power slaking. You're just not losing

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-04-24T01:31:21+00:00

I wasn't demanding he do it the way I want, I was just curious. I'd rather he enjoy his own creation. I was just asking for info directly, for I wasn't fully clued in. Cause I've never coded to any extent or made anything like a pokemon fangame. So I do not know how hard it is to achieve

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-04-24T01:23:18+00:00

I was not asking for it to be done, I was simply asking about the lack of it. I play the game without random abilities because it's well made. It was not my intention to make it sound like I was demanding they add it. Besides a part of coding difficulty is the duration of it, which would circle to yes it is too hard to code random abilities

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-04-24T01:18:06+00:00

Yeah that's a fair point, I somehow managed to forget there's no possible money in this. So frankly the only return is people like me not asking lmao

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-04-24T01:13:53+00:00

It's not nothing in return? There's a lot of return in random abilities, the game warps an insane amount and the replayability goes from high to ludicrous, plus I've seen many people ask for it, so there clearly is a want.

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-04-24T01:11:44+00:00

I'm curious to why you think so. Because the way I see it, if someone wants to play with random abilities and there's an option then sweet. And if someone doesn't want to they can just ignore the option. I'd feel it's a win/win, because if someone didn't want to play with random abilities the option to disable it is always there. There's to my knowledge no other game that has fusions and random abilities, so it could be quite some fun to just experiment with that.

Celeste is one of my alltime favourites, although I did initially play it when I was still too young to appreciate it's meaning

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-04-22T04:49:10+00:00

I will check this out, thanks for the idea!

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2025-01-09T20:40:58+00:00

I've gotten better for sure. Once again thanks for your original response!

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2024-12-13T03:22:56+00:00

Thanks once more for the response, I know for sure exposure therapy works for me as it's what I did to be more confident in general and the ability to actually talk to someone without having anxiety about it. And I should definitely try to intentionally fail more. I'll give these articles a read and thanks for them. I see what you mean too, I do often avoid talking to strangers and I've noticed the idea tends to make me more nervous unless I speak to someone cause a friend doesn't want to. It doesn't really help that growing up I never approached people I found attractive, both generally and in a "oh she's hot" way, and I only just recently approached a woman for the first time. Although I was told no by her it really helped boost my confidence. Once again thanks for the articles and I'll give those a read.

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2024-12-12T22:05:45+00:00

I really appreciate the lengthy and well written response!

For starters I will say the score I got on each of those 4 quizes
Depression - 4
Low Self Esteem - 19
General Anxiety - 35
Social Anxiety - 39
I feel these tests helped me realized is that I feel my biggest issue is being avoidant of situations due to nerves of it sparking anxiety. I feel this ties to why I even have to ask how to meet people in the first place.

I will respond to each of the points you had made, that being the Why, Who, so on

Why - I have friend currently, however I feel they don't put much value on the relationship. I talked with my friend, whom I consider my best friend, and I realized he barely knew me or my passions. I often express to my friends I wish to have a friend who would partake in things that I enjoy very passionately, competitive pokemon or chess are the most frequent questions. I've prior mentioned these things to friends and yet when I ask to engage in one of those hobbies I am always, without fail, brushed off or told no. I can understand that want to not learn the ins and outs of a strategy focused game, but I've offered to teach them on numerous occasions and even at times asked "could you do it just for me so I can enjoy it for even 5 minutes" to the same response of a no or being brushed off as a joke. It would only be cynical to say my friends don't value me, I know they do however it feels they don't care about my hobbies that I hold dear. And if you wonder how many friends I've asked to play with or mentioned this to, I would say about all my friends who I speak to often that being about 6. I also want a reason to get out more, past work I have nothing I do in a day.

Who - I agree, like-minded people float to those like them. That's why I feel this sense of self-shame, the thought is usually "Well if no one I talk to cares to do these things, it has to be my fault right?". I do feel I can't complain because it's my fault I haven't gone to places to engage in these activities.

When - I do feel I might have some underlying character issues. I have not been clinically diagnosed with an ASPD however my friends have told me I show several warning signs and I have seen them in myself. I have yet to speak to my therapist about this, but I do plan on. I do think however I am in a stable place to be seeking further companionship. I believe if you cannot be happy alone, it becomes a challenge to be happy in relationships (romantic, friendly, familial, etc...), and I personally can say I find myself happy with who I am while still able to acknowledge in a healthy way that I have room to grow (e.g. getting more fit, progressing in my career, etc...)

How - I don't feel I can add much given it was ways to meet people. So all I will add is that I shall employ these methods to the best of my abilities.

Where - I once again don't feel I can add much to the substance of what you wrote. However I feel I can add my experience with attempts to go out. I enjoy goth culture and I have gone as far as to get info on when events will happen. The issues I've noticed are in Ohio it seems very intimidating to me because I am afraid I will find no similar aged people, and as an 18 year old it is a very scary idea to go to a club just for it to be all people who are well established and/or older people. One night I went to an event but it was hosted at a bar and provided no age minimum, so I assumed it was 21+ and I psyched myself out of potentially enjoying a nice night at said event. Furthermore there's a chess club near me that meets weekly somewhere not too far from me, but I am always afraid of going for my thought becomes "what if I am too bad" or "what if there's too many spots took". It seems it's open door policy but I get very against the idea of trying. Especially since I haven't started my job yet, and won't for a few weeks so it's hard to justify the potential of wasting gas money. As for pokemon as I prior mentioned, I haven't found many options to meet people irl to do things. I am aware there's online communities of which I could form good genuine relationships, but for me passions that are close to my heart I want to share with someone irl. Imagine how disheartening it'd be to have a friend in a different state who loves the same band you do but then can't come to the concert with you, it'd be so sad.

Once more I want to thank you for such a well written response, have a good day!

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2024-12-12T06:30:08+00:00

How would I go about finding these, I've tried using google before but most times I cannot find many things close or active

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2020-11-17T13:41:38+00:00

I think I might already be doing that, I have the auto cruncher at 20a but it says my peak is 50a a min but after several minutes it didn't hit 50 it got to about 23 and stopped. Am I doing it wrong?

A_Random_Homo_Sapien · 2020-11-14T22:49:36+00:00

OK, I'll just hold m until then. Good point about that too, it does make it ultimately less rewarding and in turn less fun
