is it bad to play clicker games?

like clicker heroes???

[O5]

No. But it's very bad to enjoy playing them.

I did try that one. Turns out you have to play the game over and over again, gaining skills,etc each lifetime. You will ruin your hands, your mouse, your multiple keyboards at the same time, etc. Its really not worth your time or the carpal tunnel syndrome. Also that game plays even when you're not logged into steam and thats darn creepy to me.

They're literal skinner boxes, so yes.

Does clicker heroes really do that?

If they have content and increasingly discover new things to keep you playing the game then its fine i guess? i played cookie clicker untill i discovered it actually wear down the computer mouse.

Thats why people use scripts that create the clicks instead of wrecking the mouse with actual clicks

Why would it be?

If you're amused by constantly clicking on things, then enjoy it as much as you can.

You may want to use a cheap mouse for clicker games. Micro switches don't last forever.

If you really enjoy it and it's not taking up too much of your time then it's fine but personally, when I've reached the near end point of clicker games whether legitly or by cheating, I felt kinda bored and unaccomplished. The appeal of getting to a certain goal was way more siginificant than actually achieving it. Clicker and grindfest games have made me question whether I'm really enjoying the game or just the appeal of the items/rewards in the game. I've subsequently decided to try to only focus on games where I really enjoy the gameplay regardless of things like powerful digital rewards that don't really affect gameplay. Additionally, I've come to question whether I'm really just enjoying a game because I'm playing it with friends when I would have more enjoyment spending time with these friends in the real world doing something else. It can be hard sometimes to determine what I'm really enjoying the game for and to help myself do this, I think about how much fun I would be having with the game if those items/rewards didn't exist and if I would still enjoy the game if I was playing alone.

YESS ITS AWFUL, THEY ARE THE WORST GAMES I HATE THEM.
