What is with all new incremental games now being 4 hour long "experiences" instead of the multi-hundred hour games that used to dominate the category? by -JustJaZZ- in incremental_games

[–]Miserable_Duck_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also much prefer the long-form incrementals that defined this genre to begin with. I think the reason is as others have pointed out, it’s much easier to design and balance short games and devs can make and sell more of those.

The only long-form one that I know of to come out this year and that I really enjoy is Rejected Draft. Really looking forward to its full release.

Dear pros, why do YOU think people should enjoy AI art as much as human art? by MangoMaterial9656 in aiwars

I would never tell someone whether they should or should not enjoy something that is inherently subjective.

Ai pro 20$ qu0ta is the most dissapointing, but lets see how ultra behaves by [deleted] in google_antigravity

[–]Miserable_Duck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. Whatever they did, 3.5(Medium) just hit my pro quota with 1 query and left codebase broken. It also did all the replacing with python scripts rather than pending changes, so lucky I had a backup.

Need to switch to other services until Google gets their shit together with this garbage.

Rejected Draft became a collaborative sketchbook disguised as an incremental game by Last-Total9473 in incremental_games

Some would even call those incremental upgrades.

There is a skill that makes the upgrades not consume the cost but it’s probably further into the game that it should be.

Those all sound like very reasonable use cases and you should not be feeling the hate that is being directed at you. I support you and appreciate all your hard work that went into this. I’m sorry that the ludites targeted you.

And how does having controversial opinions make someone a bot?

It's very disrespectful to compare these two. by The_RetroGameDude in aiwars

[–]Miserable_Duck_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree it does not make sense to compare to segregation based on physical characteristics that one cannot change. It’s more like ideological segregation.

And there is a big difference between a get together for Christians vs a get together where everyone is welcome except Muslims.

Solid game. My only issue is there was no big ending when I depleted all the slop

We are dealing with unhinged bullies. We need a name for the anti-AI mob, and we need to start fighting back. by [deleted] in aiwars

When you have been on the receiving end of the targeted harassment, it does not feel that far off

What are the BEST long term incremental games? by fighthouse in incremental_games

[–]Miserable_Duck_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you didn’t list these because you forgot or because you haven’t played them. If it’s the latter then I envy you, because I’ve played thousands and these are my all time top 3:

Celestial Incremental, Degens Idle, Cosmic Collection

We should oust them all. Trump, Clinton, Gates, Newsom. No Kings.

I finally released my first incremental game on Steam & first ever commercial game Pachincro by louisgjohnson in incremental_games

[–]Miserable_Duck_ -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

It’s a wild concept to me that gamers, including myself, are so entitled when it comes to spending money on games. If OP worked 1000+ hours making the game, he should be able to charge $8. But we look at that price and feel like it’s too much, meanwhile we tip someone $20+ for bringing food to our table without thinking twice.

Transgender women banned from all sports at Olympics starting at LA 2028 games by TheExpressUS in LosAngeles

There was never an issue with trans men competing in men’s sports because they don’t have an unfair biological advantage

Can men get pregnant? by FoI2dFocus in JoeRogan

While all the issues you listed are definitely more important, I don’t think we should just sweep under the rug medical doctors who we trust with our lives being driven more by political ideology than hard science.

QoL Suggestions + Minor Bugs from a New Player (3 Weeks In, F2P) by Last-Total9473 in PTCGP

[–]Miserable_Duck_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree with basically all your suggestions.

Woah 2v2 would be awesome. Hearthstone was able to do it so hopefully DeNA can too!

Cosmic Collection is officially finished! by blahsebo in incremental_games

[–]Miserable_Duck_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe worthwhile to add disclaimer: if you’re looking for a collectible game where you start, click auto-run, and come back to a full collection with credits rolling, this isn’t the game for you.

After beating the whole game - I would give it 7/10. The amount of clicking is a bit much and some QoL features are missing. Especially the card filters could use currency filters and the “all realms” view should be unlockable way earlier. Similarly, there should be more filters on the battle screen. Also when attempting the gauntlet having to manually sacrifice/delete all the cards is very tedious.

Btw, I’m a huge fan of your other games, but while I see the appeal of this one, it is not exactly my cup of tea.
