    If you’re looking for managing idle games I can recommend a few.

    My top one that turns it into a character management sim that still has interesting individual mechanics is Legends of Idelon. Available on steam, ios, Android and web browser. I picked it back up a few months ago and came back to each character having about 270 days of time to claim lmao. An unbelievable amount of content and the dev is very active still. Boss fights, secrets, large enemy variations, currently 5 worlds, many free in game events where you can get paid items (time skips, gems, usually a really good amount). Crafting, item gathering, 4 classes with many more advanced upgrades, interesting skills, etc.

    If you’re looking for a straight up idle game then I would recommend:

    1. Antimatter dimensions, steam and website are up to date, Android and ios are catching up still. Around 180-360 days to beat probably. Not a “click to go faster” but instead just keeping up with things that will generate your income.
    2. CIFI, devs are active, community is active and welcoming, at least 180 days of content at this time (been playing for 3 months myself, really fun). Second prestige is coming out really soon. Current afk limit is 24 hours, I believe.
    3. Idle Research, smaller game, but some interesting concepts and ideas, still fun but not very long atm.








  • Do not let confirmation bias and nationalism control your view. I could say “America hasn’t done anything bad, it’s all Russian propaganda, I currently live here and I’m doing just fine.” We both know that people suffer everywhere.

    The general statement I made was not about what you experienced, it was about the attroticities that were committed by the government and leading parties. You could even consider Stalin alone and outweigh everything good it ever did. His lowball kill count through deliberate pillaging of his own populace (farmers), selective starvation to kill off groups he did not favor, and planned genocides (yes, plural) against the USSR’s own populace beats Hitler himself. And it’s not even close.

    But let’s look at more recent occurrences, those you likely heard about yourself. Let’s also ignore the cold war, a national dick measuring contest and dumb all around. Between multiple proxy wars in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Vietnam, they put all their eggs in one basket as they literally always have: war. The USSR entirely sacrificed their domestic production, research, and innovation for their people to put it towards killing others. Their entire economy stagnated and collapsed because they couldn’t support their population. And, as always, the people rebelled and won.

    And, just on time, look what we are back to.



  • I can say that not using the thumb cluster is totally fine. At this point I have the innermost button on the left side set to space. My thumb also normally rests there. Can’t even say I use the right side one at all.

    Hotswap and their switch options are fairly nice; I’ve had no issue while doing it.

    Works straight out of the box, but you will want to mess with the layout to find what works for you.

    Their rebinding software is also super easy to use. Massive plus there.





  • Honestly, it’s mostly a mindset change. I very recently picked up fortnite with some friends. Running quads is more of a “let’s see if we can bully people with weird strats” instead of “I need to win or I’m not having fun.” Its more about dicking around with friends and having fun than winning everything. Chances are you are not making money by playing, so why be concerned about it?





  • If I am being honest, maybe but probably not. Lemmy, being federated, means that anyone else on another instance would also have access to that instance. You definitely can force an application to be able to sign up there, but I am unsure about stopping other users from posting and accessing the information. I’ve not set up a server myself as a note.

    My main concerns come from a few places.

    1. The information you would be providing on lemmy is likely considered to be owned by the school you work for as they are technically paying you for it. I would ask someone about the legality based on where you are.
    2. Personal information could be, even accidentally, posted and available to many users.
    3. There are likely a lot of school approved options, though likely not free. They should, however, have the correct level of security, reliability, etc.

    Overall, it’s something that may need a more in depth risk vs reward assessment, especially for potentially containing PII.


  • It absolutely is something they would normally run into. I work on maintaining a massive application; think 60+ teams of 6, each extremely specialized and minimal overlap. Almost 75% of my job is predicting issues and avoiding them. Peer testing draws on this a ton as well. They just continue to plainly show that they don’t care. Time and time again, year after year, they continue to have the exact same issues and do fuck all about it.
