roxy,

What on earth is an AFK game

roxy,

Final Fantasy XII is an AFK game once you get your gambits aligned

roxy,

"Necrohol of Nabudeez nuts LMAO gottem" I scream as a million guys 30 levels higher than me beat me up

relee,

@roxy It's a game that plays itself, usually either in the background so you can watch without touching, or while you're not looking, and you check in on its progress.

You can also do it where you set up some sort of strategy or pattern to follow so there's actual input from the player, sometimes, as a treat.

@roxy There's Melvor Idle which is just RuneScape but Idle Game and I consider it one of those

@roxy is it an official term?

for me thats like a colony/city builder type thing that i can just have running on my PC all day at 1x speed, and it mostly takes care of itself and i can just do other stuff and only occasionally come back to it when something happens.

roxy,

@Leviamicky yea I keep seeing it for like mobile games but I wonder if that's what it really is

@roxy oh, in that context id be inclined to think its some of those "watch numbers grow bigger" type idle things <_<

@roxy
Mobiles don't have keyboards anymore, so all games?
@Leviamicky

ElsaStarTrewyn,

@roxy Maybe the old SimCity games when you turned off the disasters and let it run for a while while you got something to eat and you hoped nothing went wrong and the city coffers were filled up when you got back?

roxy,

@ElsaStarTrewyn me playing roller coaster tycoon as an idle game and just hoping that the coaster I titled "Death Coaster" doesn't blow up

rainy,

@roxy they’re games that have the uncanny ability to play themselves but unzips wallet it’s gonna cost ya

NinTheFolf,

@roxy Every boring idle game on mobile where you play it for 5 minutes then wait a week?

Ikkir,

@roxy idle games? Unless I guess an AFK game is one you have to never be at the keyboard for.

roxy,

@Ikkir I guess??
