Wow, that was amazing. This is honestly a better piece of contemporary art (in terms of making you think about modern life and what is happening to our environment, the impact on ourselves, our kids, etc.) than most of what you might see at a fancy art gallery or a contemporary art museum in NYC.

You'll never see games at fancy art galleries or contemporary art museums in NYC because games are too accessible

I've seen and played games at the Cooper Hewitt Museum in NYC. Maybe I got lucky but it's one of like three museum visits I've ever done as a tourist in the city.

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.

To everyone who is doing this:

The only person you are cheating is yourself!!!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> 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.

> I realized I had been habituated into playing it every day So like a hobby? Did you have fun playing it?

A hobby is something you’re supposed to do for fun, not out of habit.

Ran into a bug where a double tap zoomed the page and it broke the game as I could not zoom out again. Unfortunately it does not save the progress in a cookie.

When that happened to me, a simple ⌘0 reset the size.

i went into this expecting a quick, shallow, PoC game to make a fast point. i was rewarded as the game continued to add incredible depth, showing real care and thought. if there's one thing i can recommend, it's to read all the emails. they are hilarious and gave me the most joy. i burst out laughing while reading some which took me over my stimulation threshold and allowed me to fully embrace the absurdity of the entire thing (which i was initially playing somewhat competitively).
