- Integrity for using jQuery? Lol

Actually, the chrome dev tools allow you to use $(selector) even if the site doesn't have jQuery enabled. [0] [0] https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/co...

Didn't know that. Nice point!

You just keep clicking on whatever links show up? I'm not catching the spark. But it reminds me of A Dark Room, which was excellent. http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/

It has potential, but I had a hard time relating to my character. I need a lover as a teenager? And 2 broken hearts to stop being a teenager? And the only way to get experience is by losing friends.

Play automatically: setInterval(function(){ $("a").click() }, 100) (Edit: Yes, this leads you through a very fast, very bad life. Play manually and have a better life.)

Seriously? window.setInterval(function(){ Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('a'),function(i) {i.dispatchEvent(event)})},1000);

Hilariously, this gets stuck buying "Stuff" over and over and doesn't seem to ever complete the game

For me it ended in my death, with no hope left. It might be a slight timing problem (e.g. play around with the interval and see what happens)

I died with hope!!

Also, I noticed that something compounded to solve if you had more of them, notably stress. When you only had 1, it was instantaneous to solve. If you had more than one, the percent counter took time

Wow. This really struck me - what an incredible piece of art. Thank you notch, for helping me to spend some time this morning reflecting on how I want to live my life.

Seriously it was a joke

After about 5 minutes, this just reminded me too much of real life and I couldn't take it anymore. As in no matter what you do, it doesn't work out... very profound.
