I've had a nice week as far as incrementals are concerned. I've enjoyed two new games released recently, which is a lot.

Emoji Recycling Center is a game I very much enjoy. The game is a bit slow, though there is a charm to the slowness. You can freely ignore its release date I've also played this very short game with poop. This one has a story. I've also unfortunately lost my progress in Pedro Pascal's Triangle of Prestige, and so I am starting the game from the beginning.
I've dropped Synergism, deleting my save as well as the many exported savefiles I've made over the course of my playthrough. It had become a daily chore for me, and I'm relieved I no longer feel compelled to check up on it every day. To new players, I'd recommend considering your first Singularity as the end of the game.

Regarding non-gaming stuff, I've started taking antidepressants to help with my anger issues. They seem to be working.

Duly noted.

Update: Started Digital Logic Design (The Game) because a single based somebody recommended it. I am now trying to figure out how to do whatever Digital Logic Design is instead of incrementing things. Fun! (I am legitimately having fun.)

I've mainly been playing Synergism this week. I've mainly been using the extra time during ~~Holy Week~~ school break to progress through the active parts of Singularities. I've gotten through 2 of them this week. Pretty fast, I'd say.

I'm also playing Download RAM Idle since people on galaxy.click seem to like it.

Other than those two, uhh... nothing! I'm not sure where the time went. Usually I'd say it went to incremental games, but as you can see I haven't been playing many of them lately.

835th playthrough?! You've managed to keep count of the amount of times you've played TPT?

I did my 3rd singularity in Synergism yesterday. Ascension stage at this point feels so much faster with all the cube bonuses I got.
I've checked back in on the Lich Baby demo, which is a game in the style of Idle Loops. The game was meant to be played on mobile and it shows. There are paid versions on both iOS and Android but I'm broke. I also unlocked the Cryo Lab in Gooboo. Now I am going to wait for a few weeks before touching this game in any meaningful way again. Not actually playing this currently, but I'm thinking of revisiting the Orb of Creation demo Again, there is a paid version on Steam but I am broke.

Now I'm wondering what to do for Holy Week.

Edit: Not that it has any effect on anything at all, but I had initially reversed the positions of [] and () when posting the link for Orb of Creation. Oopsie!

There are two games I've tried between Monday and today. The first is Progress Knight Quest, which I dropped recently and don't recommend that much. I'm currently replaying Array Game. I have yet to make a judgment on it. I'm also still playing the games I listed this Monday, with the exception of Cavernous 2 (if waiting and letting the game make progress on its own counts as playing). I'll return to that game somewhere soon.

On the non-incremental side of things, a lot of my time has been taken by schoolwork and studying since quarterly examinations are less than a week away for me. In my spare time, I've taken to reading through "The Rust Programming Language". I've made it to Chapter 5. I've also installed SWI-Prolog on my computer out of a recommendation by the current developer of Idle Loops, though I haven't done anything with it yet.

And I've taken to trying to write posts and comments here. I'm still not able to articulate my thoughts in an organized manner, but at least I've started.

Worse. Definitely worse. I was a late adopter.

Oh, we're responding to the reddit reposts now? Anyways, here are the games I'm playing:

Cavernous 2: . It's a game where you're stuck in a cave and in a time loop and you have to manage multiple clones of yourself at the same time. I'd say it appeals more to the pure puzzle (whatever that means) audience than to the incremental audience, but it does have idle elements and I like it so I'm posting it here. I'll probably post my full thoughts on the game in its own thread.

Synergism: . Abstract incremental, I'm at the stage (early Singularity) where the pacing is to check on it for a few minutes once or twice a day. I'm just playing this because of inertia.

Gooboo: . I'm not even sure if I'm playing this. The game allows you to idle for weeks on end without you getting FOMO, so that's what I've been doing. I've heard a lot of people play this more actively (read: daily checkups) though.

Pedro Pascal's Triangle of Prestige: . For many this is merely a silly game made for April Fools Day. But for a select few it is more than a game - rather, it is a way of life.

Okay, I've gotten to a point where the game feels repetitive. I think I'll drop it. It was good while it lasted, though.

My bad, was wondering why it was called "recon"... HACK GROW HACK WEAKEN? What on earth is this madness? Did... did you... did you do this on purpose?

Anyways, I think I'm going to write the essay despite no one asking.

The code is for an incremental RPG programming game called Bitburner, which uses a version of JavaScript that has some additional game-specific APIs and restrictions (the game originally ran in a web browser)

This code in particular is a (flawed) solution to the first problem the game throws at you, which is finding a way to hack as much in-game money as possible from in-game servers. (The problem is more complicated than it appears at first glance, and I'll try to elaborate if you ask.)

Urghh, now I must post before I leave...
