  Dork. How is that a game? I ran it for a couple days. There wasn’t a whole lot going on.
  But I have a similar pursuit. I have 396 (56%) achievements in Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms.
  Most of it is offline time, of course, but it says I’ve played 6,323 hours.

    To me, it’s a game. I get some people might not think so because the game is all menus and numbers, with minimal other graphics (not counting achievement backgrounds). But for me, it’s fun. A lot of people like these number go up games where the mechanics are about increasing the numbers fast without much other intermittent gameplay. !incremental_games@incremental.social. It’s a whole genre.

    Also, there’s more, but it does take time to unfold.

      I’ve played one other idler. It was more like Antimatter, put some time into, and it annoyed me enough to remove it from my Steam history. I bought one called 64 that I barely started. The only one that I’ve actually enjoyed is Idle Champions, but boy do I have a lot of time into that one.
