#262Fantastic 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.
Just go into developer mode and just break on a line like so:
r.sps && r.purchased && this.addStimulation(r.sps \* n, r.id)
this.addStimulation(10000000000,r.id)

#264I finished the game without cheating. I felt like a frog being slowly boiled (and it really does feel like you're boiling at the end). It's quite the journey... I love how everything here isn't even farfetched. It's just standard YouTube and TikTok content. The red notification bubbles were also a nice touch, I felt myself really drawn to those, and if I think back, I guess that's the earliest example I can recall of…
As far as clickers go, finishing this game without cheating is very easy. Only takes like 20-30 min. But nonetheless, it was enjoyable. Really regretted clicking the subway surfer wormhole button. Luckily that was right at the end.
I had to restart because I unwittingly clicked the mukbang guy too early: can't handle him unless he is drowned out by everything else. By contrast I enjoyed the wormhole button. Kind of the whole point of the experience, liked it way better than certain noises :)

#265This is a fun clicker game whose point seems cynical and self-defeating on multiple levels. Despite the HN comments complaining about it being overwhelming and a dark reflection of how awful and distracting the internet is, clearly enough people enjoyed it to get to the front page. The stimulation torture wasn't really torture, but another level to the game. All the content creators whose inclusion at first seems lik…

Is this like a massive HN wooosh -- how can this be the top-voted comment?

It's less about whether we "enjoy" the stimulation, more about what kind of people we become when we lose ourselves in this bizarre sea of superstimuli. We're like reinforcement agents creating adversarial examples for each other, drawing ourselves further out of any sort of meaningful life, into a fever dream where the most desirable job for the next generation is to be famous for being famous [1] rather than do anything for any kind of deeper purpose.

#266I’m blown away. Literally laughed out loud when the lo-fi beat kicked in. Neal has outdone himself here.

This game is an excellent simulation of what ADHD feels like, especially if you're putting off multiple critical tasks.

I like your description. I sometimes wonder if the final equilibrium state will be most people working on addictive products and the rest working on addiction treatment.

what does Transcendence Tier 27 do for you? there is nothing else after 25 right?
You seem to have done a lot better than me with less clicks.
