yeah. i like games that make you engage with the mechanics and find "satisfying combos" like that. i wish more incremental games did that - rather than a single "number go up", you have a meaningful choice of stats to increase.

one idea i've had in the vein of autobattlers: what if future runs made you play against your strongest previous builds?
so if you find an overpowered combo, you'll have to be able to find its weakness as well.

i'm not sure what you mean about an incremental autobattler needing to be deterministic; plenty of incremental games have heavy amounts of RNG in them.

oh wow! congrats on prestiging the incremental gaming community!

i'm a big fan of Free/Libre/Open Source games and that includes a lot of incremental games (Trimps, Structure, AD, Fundamental, etc).
i don't have any accounts on corporate social media (like Reddit/Discord) so a more open incremental game community is a welcome change.
hopefully developers will add a "join Matrix room" button instead of asking you to sign up for Discord.

i started making a little incremental TIC-80 game a while back and maybe i'll actually finish it now that there's a community i can share it with.

Without Microsoft, TypeScript would not exist.

I'm not sure you are aware, but TypeScript is not the first language to compile to JavaScript.

Without TypeScript, people would have adopted a different JS transpiler, one that isn't controlled by a monopolistic corporation with a history of extinguishing open source projects.

It's a meme. This image shows a lemmy user asking a highly technical question and a caption saying that that is the least technical user, implying that all other lemmy users are even more technical.

Yup. From the article:

Payments of the bonds to the descendants of creditors was only finalised in 2015 when the British Government decided to modernise the gilt portfolio by redeeming all remaining undated gilts.

Since 2018, numerous Freedom of Information Act requests have been sent to the British government and Bank of England for the names of those who were paid with the bonds, of which all were denied.

foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they're both good wayland software, though
