Both great idle clicker style games. Nodebuster is a bit more novel and played through in about 3 hours. Here you don’t click but the cursor pulses at a set interval and you break stuff within its range. Tech tree is satisfying and the power up felt consistent - no time spent grinding anything.
Lazy Galaxy 2 has a city builder mechanic which is quite nice, as well as some idle space battles. It’s pretty decent though it’s gotten quite repetitive after the third or fourth ascension. Still worth some time.
I did break out my New 3DS and got back into Fantasy Life a little bit after a decade or so of it sitting idle. That’s been a nice throwback and it’s pretty low-key low stakes gaming.
I’ve really wanted to get into something more “real” but my mind and mood just have needed something I could check out watching flashing lights and numbers go.
Spacesector got a new update and Helldivers 2 has been calling me back. I just can’t right now.

I felt like I got to the end of the tech for the nuclear update (I think?) but I don’t remember anymore. It’s been a while so there have probably been updates.

But over the years I found the service to be sluggish and terrible and they split their product into a bunch of different smaller ones it got confusing.
I switched to TeamViewer for quite a while but then I found AnyDesk and that’s what I use from now on.
I noticed AnyDesk didn’t show up in any recs here so it’s making me a little suspicious.
I played with Parsec as well but it seemed to be a bit unreliable.

I’ve also never once bought anything from the store, but I am on that grandfathered bundle but I’m not sure if there are any benefits to it anymore. And mostly they are shovelling trash at us.

I just expect there’s no appetite for them and they are just shovelling them in to fill space.
The bundles aren’t really that great overall lately though, but I’m also in the position where I’m curious about Pacific Drive. I’ll have to check what my regional pricing is for that, might not even be cheaper :)

I don’t mind if it’s wave based or area based. The last standout for me that’s held up is crimsonland. Another that I have fond memories of is an iOS from very very early days (maybe first or second year App Store) called Isotope.

I’m always still shocked it’s not released fully even after this long but I understand it’s expected. I should probably give it a shot.

I think this speaks a lot to what we can expect in general from the community, and that there is little chance this game is going to continue as the developers envisioned since it’s being held hostage constantly.
Edit: it’s also worth mentioning this is the second review bomb this game suffered.

Stranger Things season 1. They got the exact right time for 80s nostalgia. The quality fell off over the seasons and still waiting for the final one but it really should have stopped at season 1. Or been an anthology with new stories every season.
