some stuff i cut for the beta release, just to get it tested properly with more people without it breaking completely. I have some new changes, but haven't had the time/resolve to put it out yet. Thank you so much for being interested in it, though! I didn't think anyone would be playing it still until i finished it up!

the perf patches have helped alot; i use to quit out around 1870... so we're getting there. I've played 100+ hours of vic3 and never made it past 1905

i have a brand new 9800x3d lol. maybe my definition of 'slow' is different.

The economy is the point, but the only thing you can do is make buildings. I also think the lack of stockpiling makes everything feel so ephemeral; never really feel the difference between -75 and +75% pricing, plus all the mapi stuff; its just too much detail for so little difference in outcome. Once you go beyond like 10 states to take care of, I just build wherever there are jobseekers and don't worry about pricing. The game UI makes its so difficult to manage effectively. Too tedious!

its almost a good game. you really only get to interact with the sim through the building system and occasionally a war. Not much else to do. Also, by 1890, the game slows to a complete crawl and becomes unplayable.

I very distinctly remember the last time i listened to NPR in 2016 was when they did a segment on health care plan differences between hillary and bernie; lied through their teeth about how bernies plan was bad etc etc. Haven't listened to NPR since.

Register using some Auto-KMS script, something like https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts might work, haven't checked in in a while.

You really don't have to do scorched earth and install linux. Just do a proper install of win 11 enterprise, with Rufus, and a few minutes disabling anything else you don't like. Also, use explorerpatcher https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher to fix various things like start menu, task bar, etc.

No ads, no Copilot AI, no search using bing, no telemetry, etc. etc. You can safely ignore all the doom and gloom about how windows is getting worse because if you remove all the crap its actually getting better.

Hi everyone! In my spare time, I've been developing an incremental/idle browser game, working title: 'Do Idlers Dream of Electric Numbers', or colloquially: D.I.D.O.E.N. From the title, you can guess it is a cyberpunk themed game. It is strongly inspired by other similar games like 'A Usual Idle Life' and 'Progress Knight'

Its currently just an Alpha version, meaning the core mechanics are pretty much complete, I just need to flesh out all of the content, the story, add an end game, and fix any remaining bugs after that.

Its currently in a playable state, but mostly just the early game things. Currently developed for desktop browser, but mostly works in Mobile as well, minus some UI issues. The general gist of the game, if you haven't played anything similar, is that you slowly level up your jobs and skills over a lifetime, then when you die you start over, having gained permanent boosts to XP and various other things. And so you slowly improve every cycle until you reach the end game. Its mostly something you leave a tab open on in the background of your browser while you work or do other things and come back to check on and make changes and such.

Please let me know what you think, and if you find anything that looks like a bug. The game is entirely written in C# Blazor, compiled to wasm, so no javascript going on for game logic. I eventually plan to open source the game after a while, though, if you wanted to look at it.

I'm very welcome to any suggestions as well, especially regarding gameplay, the title (I'd welcome a better pun), or anything else.

Thanks!

Edit: Just FYI, i've changed the url to https://xenkogames.gitlab.io/DIDOEN/. I've also made a save-incompatible change unfortunately, so you will have to restart the next time you play. Going forward, there shouldn't be any more breaking changes to saves.

All presidents are bad, and all advance the cruelty of the previous president. Are we still ignoring covid? are we still imprisoning people at the border?
