Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

To give an example of what I'm thinking of...Kingdom of Loathing, Lioden, Flight Rising.

What are some others? I'm sure there's entire genres of browser-based games I've missed.

Universal Paperclips: https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/

It's a semi-idle clicker game, ala Cookie Clicker, but a bit more interactive and very cool. There is a definitive end to it which is nice for this type of game.

Looks like someone else already got to this before I did, but +1 to trying it out.

I second this suggestion, one of those games where the less you know about it the better

Universal Paperclips, epic game highly recommended but expect to lose hours of your time.

I sometimes think back to this game. I like that the theme it is going for is not always consistently the same. I don't think any other idle clicker has actually given me things to think about like this one did.

Was a surprisingly fun way to tank my productivity on Monday.

Honestly, the fact that you mentioned it having a definite end was a huge factor in making me click on that link.

Oh yes. I've played quite a few idler-like games, and I hate ones that just go on forever, or for an excessively long time. A good idler, to me, has more mechanics than just spam clicking and incrementing numbers (even though it should incorporate these as core mechanics) and has something that sets it apart from the others, whether that be novel mechanics or some sort of story.
