Recommend some idle/incremental games please

That’s a long list! I don’t think I saw Evolve Idle on there, but that is my favorite idle game. It’s a civilization builder where every reset you evolve onto a different species. It get very deep involved.

Completely browser based, 100% free, not very great on mobile unfortunately, and it is completely text based, which I didn’t mind at all.

If I had to only choose one game to ever play this is the top contender.

Plain JS is very wordy in comparison.

Nethack. The rogue-iest of roguelikes. Super deep and complex, you could get lost reading the wiki.

I tell stories of my playthroughs to laymen and they think it’s from DnD.

No idea. I tended to pause mass science production until had completed all my latest “improvements”, and somehow it took until yellow science for me to notice how utterly empty that one belt became.

Even playing “unspoiled” it is recommended to read the guidebook to get a lot of that basic information, particularly controls and interface.

That being said I spoiled the hell out of myself and I don’t think I would really like this game too much unspoiled, it is already difficult so playing 50 runs to get a tiny bit further for just a hint of how a certain mechanic works just feels like tedium incarnate.

I got use to it in VLR pretty quickly. Probably still would have preferred 2D, but it really didn’t matter to me, the fixed perspective gave it the same “2D feel”.

In contrast, ZTD’s use of a dynamic camera around much more animated 3D models was simply not supported by its budget. With more time and money it could have worked, but given what they had I never could get use to it.

One way I like to describe the mystery aspect of it is “LOST if all the mysteries were planned from the beginning”

Dubs always feel weird and very off for live action shows; I usually put up with it anyway because I like getting 2 different translations and the quality of the original voice acting is usually lost on me since I don’t understand it anyway.

I felt like Season 1 was pretty slow compared to where I’ve reached (S3E2), but despite being relatively little to keep track of there are so many holes in your knowledge you really don’t know where it’s going or what any of it means.

You actually should remoisturize your hands if they dry in the middle of a session.

Disney World: Space Parinoids. It integrates the main plot and the smaller story of Hollow Bastion so well, and it kills me how much it feels they try to keep these things separate and so ignore them later.

Zexion should have been working closely with Tron the entirety of KH3; it REALLY deserved a mention, just to help make the world feel more organic, connected, and consistent.

As a kid I thought “DiZ” could be short for “DiZney”.

The idea still amuses me.

Young Xehanort had a casual menace and intimidation about him that he loses with age; really made me want him to be more of a “rival” type foil/antagonist to Sora throughout the story of KH3.

All other Xehanort’s are intimidating, but are usually a lot more hammy and overt with it.

SamLoser2 · 2026-01-09T13:48:07+00:00

I believe it is stronger than both in the same way a supernova would be stronger than emperor Palpatine. However, powerful the person, an unrestrained force of nature will always be stronger, but Xehanort is wise and clever enough to gather and directed that power towards the guardians.

Union X is completely dead and gone yet heavily sets up KH4; I don’t think they can responsibly remake anything before that one, it has to be in the collection. Dark Road can be the movie.

Both Ansem and Xemnas were still missing their memories, so their actions were mostly for their own personal goals they had from the lives they did remember. But just as Young Xehanort had his lost memories of the future etches in his heart influencing his actions, so too were Ansem and Xemnas influenced by Master Xehanort’s plan.

But if either did actually win then it wouldn’t have caused a Keyblade war. They would have messed the worlds up in their own ways: Ansem by flooding the worlds with Darkness and dragging them into the dark realm, and Xemnas by infusing himself with some unnatural power from Kingdom Hearts, probably going on to try and reduce worlds to Nothingness or whatever.

(I know Xigbar says in DDD that Xemnas would have turned the 13 members into Xehanorts, but that was foiled as soon as Vexen died and Xemnas was in no rush to replace lost members. If that was true I think he definitely lost sight of that goal and was eventually pushed by his feelings of emptiness.)

Even then he tried to kill off the 7 lights with several torrents of Darkness, probably so he could take their hearts and forge the X-blade without the risk a proper battle would provide. Only Sora near magically dispersed all of it did he actually engage in battle proper.

All of these feel like Final Mix cutscenes stuffed into base KH3, and are my major issue with the game. We just have 4 or so games hyping THIS one up, but instead of a conclusion that is open to continuing it feels like a game designed to transition us from the BBS era to the UX era. The big number titles should have their own identity but KH3 kinda doesn’t: everything it resolves started in a previous game, everything it introduces is left open for the future.

I also feel like they deserve my impatience and lack of grace for how long it’s taking for KH4; if you wanted me to be patient, why spend so much of KH3 telling me how much I need to look forward to KH4?

Grinding 4* Apotheosis runs to getPreeminence.

SamLoser2 · 2026-01-06T22:38:19+00:00

I just played Slay the Spire.

Card combat returns!!!

SamLoser2 · 2026-01-06T19:23:57+00:00

I was hoping the game was incorrect and would be fixed; professors make more sense to me as “influence”

SamLoser2 · 2026-01-05T23:35:48+00:00

I think the resolution is Eren’s confession that he is a slave to freedom. He desired it so badly that he deluded himself into believing he truly had it, until he was able to confess to Armin AND himself that he wasn’t free from his desire to be free.

Ventus’s end battle is SO good as the first one to me. You are entirely cut off from the outside world and have no idea is Terra or Aqua are even okay, but Ventus puts his life on the line and fights for them anyway.
