I’ve mostly thought about playing Balatro, but haven’t gotten around to it as I’ve only watched numbers go big in Untitled Space Idle (idler/clicker/absolute-timewaster).
It’s been a slow gaming week for me. :D
edit: maybe I should actually elaborate a bit on the idle-game.
Essentially: you have space ship, space ship must fight other space ships, which get tougher and tougher the further you go. As you go, you research, build, etc. more things to your ship to make it sturdier, deadlier, and faster, then reset and do it again, but BETTER. Rince and repeat, the usual idle-game loop.
There’s so many different ways to make the ship better - but you’re gonna need them all anyway, having multiple systems you can/need to level up, but usually can’t do so in one go is just a time sink.
It’s a simple game but if you identify as “scandisk/defrag watcher”, it’s for you.

I am who you describe, and this made me realise that a progression/idle game based around a disk defragging mechanic would be amazing, and would scratch a deep itch for many people.
