'Semi-Idle' Games (lemmygrad.ml)

Extremely specific game request thread. I love what I've come to call 'Semi-Idle' games. I work from home and am determined to act my wage so I like to have fun while on the clock. I'm not going to disregard work entirely but I want to play video games. So I leave a game running on my third monitor.

Enter my need for a game that doesn't demand all of my attention, but is a little more hands-on than a screen saver with increasing numbers. A game where you are rewarded for letting things run, but it's not the entire point of the game.

Some examples of what I consider 'Semi-Idle' with justifications:

-Project Zomboid: Game incentivizes basically sitting around and passing the time. I like to loot in spurts and then leave my character eating/working out/reading while I work.

-Super WorldBox Godsim sandbox. I can spend time setting up a world which I then let play out on its own, occasionally jumping in to disturb the peace.

-Fallout 76 Fallout 76 lets you set up a player-made camp where others can visit and buy from your stores. I find it enjoyable to leave it running and see who comes through.

-Sonic Adventure 1/2 I'll play a level or two and then idle in the chao garden, just taking in the vibes and watching my chao do what they do.

Clicker games and other idle-genre giants aren't really my thing, but if you know of a clicker/idle game that might fit the description, feel free to recommend those, too.

imagine being a liberal and having to accept that your personal voldemort cares more about Palestine than any leader you can choose from like even just being able to say that is more than so many western leaders

I don't think corporations have as much of an interest in asserting Yasuke was a samurai as these people seem to believe.

Any and all gaming projects, be they full game releases or some dudes personal mod, will be hounded by JAQing off about how communism is actually bad. There's a real smugness to it, too. Like, "whao guys I know you're having fun over here but we're all on the same page that stalin murdered my grandparents with a giant spoon, right??"

ouch boys, you forced police into solidarity with the workers

don't you know the police were your defense against the workers??

Look at us tough boys. We're standing with a symbol of feminine intimacy, invasively snatched from the ruins of her previous home. Heh, she probably shared many intimate and loving moments in this home, in her life, which we stole.

Fuck, we're so bad ass.

To be honest, the intense buttrage over black samurai character feels like a perfect low hanging stereotype from 2016. It's at once highly amusing and extremely depressing that it's a real point of discourse over here in 2024.

ahh yes, the regular posting snipers against a group way of crowd control and damage mitigation

as we all know, the line between 'protest' and 'more than protest' is extremely clearly defined. you would be silly to be concerned over the sights trained on you. just don't do anything more than protest, silly!

Haha, when did 'not shooting dogs' fall into the woke spectrum of things

I read that whole post giving him the benefit of the doubt before realizing the subreddit name

that is absolutely hilarious. why would you want to make cheating on your partner a part of your identity, enough that you must seek out other adulterers on reddit to discuss?

i hope he was married and his wife is due half of his shit

at least cons recognize they're operating off some sort of ideology, if not just because they can see their beliefs at odds with wider society

libs have this end of history thing going on where they could never be afflicted by ideology or propaganda. they're the 'normal' ones and obviously the solution to all of our problems exist within normalcy.

W-what? Why? Seriously, what sort of message is this supposed to impart? The 'Seriously, we missed you' sign makes it seem like a corps genuinely trying to welcome everyone back in and rebuild an 'office culture'

But the other two are genuinely mean spirited? 'hey are you glad we get to tell you how to dress again?' and 'you enjoyed working with your pets i bet, fucking loser'

I would actually be boiling with rage. I'm never going back to the fuckin office, especially not now that it seems it's a possibility they're going to demean me lol
