Well, you're half right -- it was a book.
You're downvoted, but I agree. I found it basically a hodgepodge of 80s references over a basic story with one-dimensional characters (the heroes are Very Good and the bad guy is Very Bad). I would have assumed that it's aimed at young children, if the references weren't forty years before their time.
It's not just that, but also the main protagonist is written terribly and never given any real faults or challenges to overcome. During the entire book there is never a challenge that is not resolved by the next paragraph.
The Japanese friends that he makes are grossly stereotyped and are kept one dimensional during the entire book as well.
The main character also strikes me as incredibly creepy, and to a level where he could be classified as an para-social stalker. Just comes off as being a terrible person overall.
Spielberg's movie however is fantastic and one of those rare instances where the movie truly does outrank the book.

#384Fantastic 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.
I did the same exact thing and then wanted to post it into the groupchat then see this.
1000 iterations too!
Why are we like this XD

Not available on mobile (except by installing an app). :(
For a clicker, it's pretty slow. You have to do some pretty significant grinding.
Spoilers!
There's a whole combat and map system that's hidden away initially. A lot of the progression really wants you to do that but it's hidden away at first so it's not obvious.

#387I know this is a take on the internet but it's a bit on the nose to also have it request to send your data to over a hundred different companies.

#388I enjoyed the humor and the ending, it reminds me of some DOS games I grew up with. Nice work Neal :)
Clicker games can be considered banal, but when there is an interesting unexpected story or comedy behind the progressions, they are fun little pieces of art.
Two games I have played in the past of this ilk are Spaceplan [0] and Nodebuster [1], both of which only take around an hour or so to progress through. Fun and interesting like Neal's game.
