> 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.

I managed to cheat this by buying a bunch of DVDs and making my window as small as possible, meaning they hit the edges much more often and gained me infinity stimulation.

You can get a massive amount of money with the stock market plugin once you get the cryptocurrency and leverage upgrades.

what device has both zoom tapping and apple's ctrl button?
