Been playing Farmer Against Potatoes Idle (on Steam, Android, and iOS). I can't give a review of the game right now, though the fact that I haven't uninstalled the game is probably a plus. My primary issue with it is that it heats up my phone.
Being someone who heard of it frequently but never actually bothered to play it (the gameplay just isn't for me), it's kind of surprising to me that it got a Steam release.
What's next, Synergism? I know its developers are planning for a Steam release as well.
So far... nothing!
Though that's mostly because I play games outside galaxy. I always click the "open original" button out of personal preference.
There are probably a lot of games I've left just as I was about to complete them, but I've forgotten them. I like it that way - I don't want to be reminded of all the games I've failed to complete, and for incrementals completing for completion's sake does not seem like a very fulfilling reason to keep playing. If ever I feel the urge to complete one of them, the memory will come to me.
I think it's because I'm busy now compared to when I started playing it. I've heard multiple people express that Trimps is best played as a little thing to check in on every once in a while during work. Perhaps the reason why you're never incentivized to completely overhaul your automation configuration is because the game was never intended to be played any other way. You may think differently (as I've come to expect from you), but most players loathe sudden pacing shifts.
Trimps got a new update recently, and so I started playing it again. Surprisingly, I'm finding it fun again despite the update changing practically nothing at the point of the game I'm at. I think it's a shift of mindset.
Ah, a classic. I wouldn't call it a "clicker" though.

This past week I've been playing "Spark" (by Deuski Games, since it's such a generic name), "Make More!", and "Antimatter Dimensions" on web. However, as of now only Spark remains. I burned out on the other two and deleted my saves on those games. Spark doesn't have much going on, but it only eats up around 10 minutes of my day while not being overly slow so I'm keeping it.
I'm looking forward to the submissions for this year's New Years Incremental Game Jam.
I uninstalled Antimatter Dimensions on mobile not because I didn't like it, but because it was too addictive.
I replaced it with a game called "Make More!". It's a very simple game; there is clearly a slant towards in-app purchases but the games that keep getting recommended to me by the Play Store algorithm have such egregious monetization practices that this seems tame in comparison.
I'm considering reinstalling Spark and Orcs X. I have fond memories of both and they're simple compared to what I play today, though the latter is significantly more complex than the former.
I forgot about Super Turtle Idle. I'm starting a new save. I don't think I noticed the humorous remarks in the pop-ups, but I really like the style of humor there. I'm surprised you chose USI, aren't there older games similar to it in the sense of having many interconnected systems (like NGU, though I don't think that's the oldest)?
My interpretation of this after some thought is that "gameplay" here refers to any part of a game that sacrifices part of its message and/or "creator's mark" (vague, I know) to make it more appealing to a more general (gaming) audience. In this case, even a small community dedicated to a really niche genre counts as "more general".
I don't know if there is a proper term for it. I'm guessing "gameplay" is used because it's what people expect to find when playing a game. So "killing gameplay" could mean making players abandon the expectations they acquired from prior experience with games. (Like games being fun, as a particularly cynical example.)
I am so confused by the "kill gameplay" thing, and looking at this person's profile just adds to the confusion.
Numbers are gameplay. (Interactive) Web sites have gameplay. What even is gameplay? Is the very act of attempting to understand this person's ideas an example of it?
(Edit: I suddenly started wondering if this person uses a Gemini or Gopher client)
(Edit 2: Sorry, I think I was being a tad hostile. Worldview-flipping ideas and all...)
So you don't have to click the link: the game in question is Rusty's Retirement.
Reading the title was kind of jarring at first because I don't know if the "My" in the title was referring to Agent_Karyo or the author of the linked article. (It was the latter.)
I don't know whether this comment will show up, federation issues have been abound here for a while now.
Had a bit of a hard time finding the spider for this one.
Also, the author just had to take the (admittedly really short) time to draw that character's behind.
Instructions unclear, pirated Photoshop
(For both ethical and legal reasons I did not actually do this. Instead, I downloaded some webgames hosted on Github like any normal lunatic wou- wait, you're telling me that doesn't count as installing? Fine, I guess I'll install around 5 media players, see which one I like the most, and for some ungodly reason not remove the rest...)

I can see your image.

I'm not sure how correct I am with this.

EDIT: It federated! It federated! Hip hip hooray!

This game is painful and for some reason I am enjoying it. I haven't even reached sandwiches yet.
Not interested in the game itself, but the way the person at the start of the video moves is addictingly uncanny. I wish that segment was longer.
