I released version 0.8.0 of The Idle Class today! I haven't talked about it a whole lot on here, so if you're not familiar, it's a free browser-based idle game I put out years ago, well before The Salt Keep.

It's all about clicking buttons, earning achievements, and experiencing the grotesque horrors of capitalism. It's the kind of game you can play aggressively or check in on now and then, and it'll last you months if you want it to.

This update has:

55 new Upgrades

105 new Achievements

A new Business Goals feature, which lets you set an earnings goal for your next business (plus some optional caveats), and offers a significant bonus to your Next Bankruptcy Multiplier if you meet it, or a small penalty if you don't.

A new Business Cartels feature, which allows you to unlock an overall earnings bonus derived from the total listed at the Small Gray Games Patreon. It's positively communal!

A new Bankruptcy Obstacles feature, which allows you to choose from various Obstacles to burden you in your next business in exchange for a bonus to your Training Seminars. This one has the potential to balloon into all kinds of side features.

This update has been a long time coming. I'll be back to some other narrative projects now, which I can hopefully announce before too long. I'll probably post here a lot more once I do.

You may not like it, but this is what peak capitalism looks like

#A healthy Business has the amount of people in marketing as normal workers #peak economies #having 100 middle managers in fact the best way to run things #the idle class

feel like we don't talk enough about the fact that shen qingqiu was fully prepared to die in the invasion of cang qiong to save his disciples, and not just in terms of without-a-cure. when he challenged sha hualing to a palm strike, he expected to die, his exact thoughts were "with this one strike, he'd ensure there were no winners", and he went in expecting his body to self destruct before liu qingge showed up.

it's such an important piece of characterization because shen yuan is often ranting in his head about "surviving at any cost" and "cheating his way out of it", but when he's actually faced with any kind of danger, his very first reaction is to protect the people around him with his life, without hesitation.

#i love shen yuan<3 #shen yuan be like 'im so selfish i pick my own life over any other'#also shen yuan: oh youre in danger? i will be your human shield #jumps in front of binghe. jumps in front of his disciples. self detonates. puts himself in the water prison #had horrible sex to save the world #my dude i WISH you put yourself first for once #his worst crime is that he could be considered 'idle'#which is literally just him reading books on his peak and sleeping in between classes #its not that he skips classes because he DOES teach his disciples!! hes doing all of his work #but also reading and sleeping #which is like...... just a millennial Doing His Job #just AH again!! ppl considered shen yuan's worst traits to be that he slept read and ate treats #THATS IT #(in the extra the peak lords said that sqq seemed ''more idle'')#hes such a good guy sobsobsob #svsss #shen yuan #shen qingqiu #scum villain

You know, when Fifteenth says in Space Babies “I don't have a purpose or a cause or a mission, but I have freedom”? Yeah, rule number one. The Doctor actually hates having nothing to do but drift across all of time and space. They need something to drive them. They need a goal, a clear direction to follow. They need a mystery to unravel. That's why they adore people like Amy, Clara, Ruby or now Belinda. People with mysteries, enigmas to unravel. Something to do. It's not about having someone to travel with because they can't stand the loneliness. It's about having someone interesting to study and decipher while travelling.

#doctor who #rapha talks #rapha is being a whovian #the doctor #fifteenth doctor #belinda chandra #dw meta #was listening to a margarita life edit with one ear when i was suddenly hit with this realisation and had to share with the class #in a way the doctor actually hates being free and untethered because it means being idle and bored #and it's not so much the loneliness as it is rather the boredom that they can't deal with

im gonna be sick over the fact that riz is established to never sleep because he's constantly up worrying over the next case to be solved, but also takes naps in the bad kids' backpacks, because with them he doesn't have to worry all the time, and he can just relax.

#riz 'the ball' gukgak bouncing around in my brain like the dvd idle menu #im literally nauseous over this thought like what what what #bro misses classes because he accidentally naps through the school bell and his friends forget hes in there #d20 #dimension 20 #riz gukgak #fantasy high #fantasy high sophomore year #fhsy #intrepid heroes #the bad kids

i think the itoshi bros could settle their differences with some good ol’ frottage

#i say this like i know what the beef is (i do not)#the moral of the story is this: every problem can be solved thru sex #u can quote me on that #class dismissed #— idle chatter #cw incest
