    This week, I’ve started up my old Egg, Inc. save, and I’m trying to finally unlock all the eggs. Probably gonna be a month before I get to that point though. Lol

    This week I kept playing Trimps which is nice to get a sense for a long game. It doesn’t ask very much of me although i can keep optimizations in mind and go steady with it. Also tried more Shark incremental while feeling warm to some idea of a theme as good enough to not mind replaying the beginning. Think I really have to be careful to not start feeling the game too abstractly though as that was important to my reason in this case…

    This week I played some more of Vepro’s games. In particular, Yet Another Merge Game and Universe Shrinker. Both games have big enough numbers to warrant large number libraries. However, I noticed that in Universe Shrinker the shrinking of universes was represented on an exponential scale but could be easily translated to a linear scale. I guess I could find more examples of this in the “really big numbers” group of incremental games, but that one felt glaringly obvious to me.

    I was browsing itch.io for new incremental games this week, and found Centrist Simulator. It seems to be good although it’s short and the appeal looks different from most other incremental games. Haven’t played it yet.

    edit: haha I messed up the link format again
