@OddPomegranate i think those are the most egregious, but nearly every roguelike has a bit of that "just one more run" element that can turn it into a loop

[🦇 Holly 🦇 Bsky: @teridax.dev @TeridaxDev]

they're making fun of this in the quotes but like she's Right though

games like balatro, vampire survivors, nubby's number factory, etc are designed to be addictive. i like these games in moderation, but becoming addicted to something can feel bad sometimes!!!

[brie @brie_facemelter]

roguelikes and such never really clicked with me because i can tell when a shitty game is trying to molest my dopamine receptors with its "gameplay loop" or whatever

[Luke Muscat @pgmuscat]

My 2nd solo dev game is coming soon. It is a very normal golf game.

[🦇 Holly 🦇 Bsky: @teridax.dev @TeridaxDev]

I got addicted to TBoI:AB+ in college and 100%ed the game (at the time) and it so thoroughly burned my dopamine receptors that i cannot play that game anymore, like that's what these games Do

i try to stick to shorter experiences that do things i enjoy now, like metroidvanias

[🦇 Holly 🦇 Bsky: @teridax.dev @TeridaxDev]

its all the same tricks they use in gacha games to make you spend hundreds on Pokécoins, just without the predatory monetary hooks

when vampire survivors came out i remember people comparing the chest opening animation to casino machines like this isnt lost knowledge
