Is there like a real top of the line Idle RPG? I like being able to play for a few minutes, then stop for awhile, come back and see a bunch of numbers go up and get new gear or monsters or whatever.

I played Almost A Hero for a good while but that was way too much clicking. I played SimCity Buildit for a bit but it got too complicated the further you went. Idle Apocalypse was fun for awhile too.

I remember really liking Godville.

It's so damn...literal.
They're not RPGs, but the only idle games that have stayed on my phone are Kittens Game and Spaceplan. Although the latter has a definite ending, it's so good.

If you really want a Idle game, Progress Quest is where it is at. No frills, heck no graphics, but progress bars and numbers with funny titles and names. I am trying it out and will see if it works with the phone sleeping or not. It has a widget to keep background play going.

The android version is pretty bare bones, but you can sort of have an online clan of characters on the PC version.

Clickpocalypse 2 kept me busy at work for a few weeks, p sure the Android version is just the website in a container, worked pretty well last time I checked. https://minmaxia.com/c2/

Are you aware that they have admitted to including a cryptominer in the emulator in the past?

quote:

This is Thomas Lee, creator of this subreddit and employee of MEmu.

Recently i get noticed by MEmu users that some one posted a rumor info about MEmu, he claimed that MEmu has make use of MEmu App Player to cryptomining, which is absolutely nonsense, MEmu has never applied cryptomining on software. Don't worry about it, MEmu always pay attention to user privacy and security. I have no idea how he get the moderator, contact to reddit admin group for this already.

The guy "MEmuplayMod" has nothing to do with MEmu official team.

I know this could be just to cover they asses but the fact that the only info about that comes from a single post in reddit by an account with just that post that was removed makes it difficult to believe. I never noticed any increase in the use of resources while using Memu unlike with Nox that if you scan it's network connections with something like Wireshark sometimes connects to China.

Has anyone played Kingdom: Two Crowns on their phone? I installed it and it ran once but I wasn't ready to play, then the next times I tried it wouldn't load. I ended up getting a refund, but after playing on PC I'd really love to have it on my phone..

been playing Epic Seven for the past couple weeks, and gotta say this game's actually really good. haven't felt the need to spend a penny and i've apparently been lucky enough to get a small amount of really good heroes. took me over 2 weeks to eat through all the bonus energy you get gifted for leveling up and the ~1000 bonus energy the devs mailed everyone this past month.

EDIT: also the game runs smooth as butter and the cutscenes are fantastic quality. tbh i wasn't expecting to see a lovingly rendered cutscene of children exploding into fountains of blood but there you have it.

The good news is that this game has a built-in reroll. Once you finish the first chapter of the story (basically the tutorial), it'll give you 30 shots at your free 10x pull. You can't store your best pull, though, so you need to make a decision whether to stick with your current one, or lose it forever. Nat 5s I'd stop for are: Sez, Iseria, Aramintha, Baal & Sezan, Destina, Sigret. Also, keep an eye out for some of the better nat 4s: Cidd, Angelica, Achates, Armin.

You can find a tier list here to help you evaluate everything you pull in each roll. And here is a decent guide to get you started.

i didn't follow any guides early on, just did whatever i felt like doing and chose the heroes i thought looked the coolest/cutest, which netted me Leo and Clarissa (neither are particular fantastic, but they're still really decent). i got super lucky with some random pulls and have a few really good artifacts and heroes from that though.

there's also a goon discord (https://discord.gg/fcT54fx) which is fairly active and you should totally hit up at the very least for guild invites, and also it's a good place to get advice.

Epic 7 is alright but if you've already played King's Raid then there's nothing new here. They're pretty much identical games except I think Epic 7 looks a little flashier in the battles. The gameplay loop is pretty samey though.

Ours also provides monthly health tips which almost always boil down to "you being sick costs us money"

September's was great because it talked about how mental health is important and you need to care about that too. Except our health insurance doesn't cover any of it until you meet your 5k deductible

My company actually stepped up this year and sent people home that were sick.

Last year the stomach flu tore through the grunts right after thanksgiving. They then implemented mandatory overtime for like a month over xmas and a bunch of people quit. We ended up 2 weeks behind and ate like a million bucks in late processing fees.

What is sick time?

I work at a place with a "no fault" system. You get ten attendance points before you get fired. Missing a day is one and clocking in/out between a minute and 4 hours is .5.

So if you're going to be late and get there at 8:01 other than lost pay you get penalized the same for turning around and going home and coming back at noon.

At 6 or 7 points they give you a two day unpaid suspension in the middle of the week so you can think about what you've done.

The points stick around for a year.

I worked in a place with the points system a while ago. It's loving bullshit. They talk about how fair it is because it treats everything the same, but it all breaks down once you put any real thought into it. Especially once you learn that the first-level supervisors and up get a 'regular' system for PTO/Sick/etc.

You're only allowed 300 minutes of PvE a day in Ragnarok online, after which you gain reduced XP. Wild.

Then again, if I play this game for that long in one day, I've got bigger things to worry about. I'll keep it around for now because of the nostalgia factor, I was a huge RO player as a teenager.
