A mouse on an Android phone? Does your phone not have a touch screen?
Why not? An external keyboard & mouse with the android phone as a display should be allowed
This website is inane, juvenile and has no real use. And for all those reasons I love it. Kudos to HN for being a place where I can find things that just bring some silly fun to my life. I remember in the early days of the Interwebs, there was so many sites just like this one. You didn't have to go to FB, IG or some other content mill to find them. Plus, when you did find one, it had the same feeling of excitement as…
Hypnotizing.

Most people don't have time/resources to test every possible interface for a free website.
Does not work well using a mouse on an Android phone. Choose your UI events wisely, guys!
Well that answers that question. I had someone with a broken touchscreen recently and I told them Android might accept a mouse shoved into the USB-C as it worked fine when I shoved an external USB mic in there. Guess I was right. Taking your point though, I'm going to add this to my testing script for my web sites now.

All theses pop-culture computer games SFX, but no 'oof' sound from roblox?

There are more sites like this one today, by at least an order of magnitude, than existed in the early lift-off days of the Web (~1993-1997). You'd struggle to build a mediocre version of this site in the early days of the Web. And it'd try to eat your browser alive as you used it if someone managed to use early Flash or an applet to shoehorn it onto the Web back then. HN itself is, in part, a link content mill. No d…
Given your follow-up that points out "that's just the way it is", old toys don't work for the old, I'm curious as to how you think about the resurgence of Dungeons and Dragons? Something that was played, for people of my generation, 30+ years ago. Many of us have re-found that joy, and if anything it's better than it was before. Playing with our kids, playing with other adults, of all ages. Want to re-imagine with yo…
I really like 4e, our big serious campaign is 4e with increasing amounts of customisation because of course Wizards never really polish the high level game, there's no money in it. But it's a very different game from 2nd edition.
My Wizard was written out (the other PCs basically killed him, hint taken) but you couldn't write a character like that in 2nd, limitless power just comes naturally to Magic Users in the old game, in 4e Magical Trevor had to make some really difficult compromises to be able to have his flexibility and he still wasn't the star of the show.
(The other characters think giving Orcus a god-killing weapon was a bad idea, and they blamed Trevor even though it might work, apparently Orcus is "bad" and it's better that the universe is destroyed than he gets a god-killing weapon. Trevor did not agree)
