Fantastic encapsulation and commentary on the modern web and attentionspace. There's certainly better ways to do this, but here's one way to automate 1000 clicks from the console: for (let i = 0; i Automating this art piece probably also says ... something.

> Fantastic encapsulation and commentary on the modern web and attentionspace. This is why I quit Hearthstone even though I never spent a dime on it. I realized I had been habituated into playing it every day. I started feeling like a lab rat trained to push a button for a reward.

Cookie Clicker taught me this about Destiny and Destiny 2 as well.

I got a lot of enjoyment out of those games - and they were partly the backdrop to socialising online with IRL friends who didn't live close to me - but at some point the absurdity of them became too obvious and we stopped.

"moved on" - to Call of Duty.

I really don't know if I could survive nowadays internet without uBlock. The picker functionality just changes the internet for me. I can make most of the noise disappear.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you're already using setTimeout, why not just use it directly? function clickLoop() { document.querySelector('.main-btn').click(); setTimeout(clickLoop, 50) }

That's an infinite loop.

Breakable by `clickLoop = null`.

If you want to speed run it

  let max = 1000000;
  let btn = $('.main-btn');
  function cl() {
    btn.click();
    max--;
    if (max > 0) {
       setTimeout(cl, 1)
    }
  }
  cl()

It feels like this quote from "Ready Player One" (2018 film)

"Once we can roll back some of Halliday's ad restrictions, we estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures"

I needed the ocean at the end. It's a very good game. The variable reward and quick repeatability captured me... It showcases what we are exposed to in a condensed manner.
