Why real-time idle adventure games have “radical potential”
“At some point,” says Joel Jordan, “Animal Crossing poses the question to you with alarming force: how do you want to spend your time?”
Allow me to open with the scoundrel’s refuge that is a seemingly weighty dichotomy: I reckon there’s two really special types of indie games. Those that work wonderfully despite their smaller scope, and those that work wonderfully because of it. It’s that second kind – the particular and peculiar voyages into the miniature and mundane – that really spin wonders. Games like Unpacking, PowerWash Simulator, and Dinkum. Games humble enough in scope, and curious enough in outlook, to be uniquely capable of framing everyday experiences so that their inner oddness and strange magic – unfairly dulled by familiarity – shines.
So, when Jordon – solo dev on the upcoming Time Bandit – brings up the question: how do you want to spend your time? I’m left pondering it for far longer than I think I otherwise would, thinking about it in context. The obvious answer here is: playing an videogame, please. But Time Bandit’s free demo doesn’t take long to make me almost uncomfortably aware that there’s more than one way to play something. I don’t even need to be anywhere near the PC. I might actually be playing it more when I’m not [X-Files music, but also I’m going somewhere with this].

Telegram Gains Real-Time Chat Translation, New Group Admin Controls, and More
Telegram channels have become very popular with groups of various nationalities and languages, and with the arrival of Telegram v9.4.2, if you’re a Premium user, it’s now possible to translate entire chats in real time as you scroll them or receive new messages.
If you administrate your own groups, this update means you can now control whether group members can send nine different types, like Photos, Voice, and Video Messages. It’s also now possible to quickly create group and profile pictures from animated emoji and stickers with a new Set Emoji option.
Elsewhere, there’s a new Network Usage section in Settings that allows you to check how much of your data was spent on Telegram, and it’s now possible to adjust which media should be automatically saved to your Camera Roll from chats, based on size, type, and source.
As for what’s new in the world of emoji: There are new emoji and sticker filters like “love” and “celebration” to help you quickly find the ones you want, and premium users can check out trending emoji packs in the emoji panel and zoom in on individual emoji.
Telegram version 9.4.2 is available now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, with a new 40% saving for users who pre-pay for a year of Telegram Premium ($39.99).
