Opened in Android Google Chrome, normal and incognito, also requested desktop site from menu, no luck only duck, just a grey page :(
Could this be one of those very rare occasions when us FireFox user actually have the most optimized experience?
Also seems to work great in Safari!

#43I love the "busywork" aspect of this game. You work like a drone, doing simple tasks with no intelligence whatsoever. This must be what most people working on a desk must feel like (not sure people on HN can relate to this).
It's also a reflection on modern gaming in general. If only some games had busywork as part of their gameplay, they'd feel less tiring and more fun.

Like grinding in an MMORPG? I'm not so sure.

Top job is Chief Technical Officer, but there's a (guessing bounds error) bug that causes it to stop valuing your work when you're supposed to be promoted from Computational Administrator to Screen Technician.

#46Wow, this is extremely annoying. Guess the point is to portray a constant stream of interruptions, so job well done :-)

#47That was stressful.

I determined that the most efficient way to play this game is to ignore every task that isn't typing for character count, including never actually saving once you get to the minimum character count for the current task. As you go up in levels, the number of work units you accomplish per character goes up, and you continue accruing work units even if you do "extra credit" on one of your tasks by exceeding the minimum. So it pays to just keep returning focus to whatever window you were typing in and never stopping. I think it also might stop giving you new tasks once you have a certain number stacked up, which lets you have uninterrupted keyboard-mashing time to get those promotions. :D
Using this strategy, I managed to hit the Computation Administrator progress cap almost immediately after my first "well-deserved break".
