My phone became overstimulated and hot :o It is actually addictive even when I know it's totally stupid. Good to know I am not resistant to these "games". Nice experiment, thanks for sharing!

Antimatter Dimensions is another conerstone in the genre. http://ivark.github.io/

Don't click it, that's most of a year I'll never get back.

No kidding - it really did take about a year for me to finish it. That was _with_ a guide.

For those of you loving this, a classic: https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

Cookie Clicker has received updates almost continuously for the last decade. I don’t have the commitment to ascend but I understand there’s quite a bit of content to be unlocked there even after you’ve maxed out your first “run.”

It still peters out eventually

Wow, that was amazing. This is honestly a better piece of contemporary art (in terms of making you think about modern life and what is happening to our environment, the impact on ourselves, our kids, etc.) than most of what you might see at a fancy art gallery or a contemporary art museum in NYC.

You'll never see games at fancy art galleries or contemporary art museums in NYC because games are too accessible

The Museum of the Moving Image has had video games in its collection since the 1980s. https://movingimage.org/collection/collection-spotlight_vide...

Hauser & Wirth have had essays on video games in their magazine: https://www.hauserwirth.com/ursula/too-late-for-earth-too-so...

The Smithsonian has a traveling exhibition specifically about Art in Video Games: https://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/games Maybe actually go to an art gallery/museum sometime instead of assuming you know what one is

It's "The Art of Video Games"

Reminds me of a story I heard as a kid. Short version, guy can't sleep. Someone tells him get a dog. Dog barks, still can't sleep. Well you'll also need a blah... repeat until the man has a small farm of loud animals going. Then finally "get rid of them" and suddenly it's all so quiet again. It's pretty fascinating how much more calm everything seems when you finish/stop this game

There is a different version where a person takes drug A to solve problem X. But that has a side effect so they take drug B to solve that problem. And so on and so on and so on. Eventually, they decide to stop taking all the medicines and are finally "cured".
