I'm surprised it does actually work very well. The whole earn coins to purchase faster ways to earn coins is objectively stupid, I'm not going to do anything with them but I still feel like I need to earn more and feel good when I unlocked new stuff. Is that Pavlov conditioning ? Used to buy new stuff and always make more money.

probably you got lucky with having correct browser or smth...

I find it frustrating that after purchasing an item, the email notifications are endless. They include every minor update, like the delivery person stopping for a bagel. It feels like my phone is constantly bombarded with unnecessary information these days.

I 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.

I actually thought it very subtle, considering it's usually thousands

I accidentally got addicted to crypto trading and made 34 million stimulation before I realized there was a "win game" button. I guess this game is more representative than we'd like to think.

What is the win game button? I also got up to a pretty high stimulation and never saw any such button.

It's the icon of water waves.

I'd say with the current state of things it's more like two singularities in which either: - A landian-stephensian accelerationist timeline occurs where the majority of the urban population becomes some flavor of AGI-tuned VR junkie - An extreme naturalistic counterculture movement occurs that causes majority of the civilized world to willingly roll themselves back 1 or 2 centuries technologically in order to feel so…

Been reading their latest on interoperability. Interesting stuff, and a possible avenue for tech sanity in the upcoming years.

Speed-ran the game using this (well, I injected jquery first to select the element using $() because I'm an absolute Baboon) in about 45 seconds, spam clicking all the upgrades, and clicks stopped going up after hitting "342,044,125,797,992,850,000,000,000,000 stimulation" with 10k clicks per second. What a ride. Love the implied commentary on our over-stimulated lives!

I envy your rig - mine glitched a lot to get it in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-J0ppP-H9s

Ah, a new yardstick for browser performance :-P

Oh man that is wild. As soon as I added subway surfer, it became so much easier to keep clicking the simulation button. I was watching that random video and don’t even notice I keep clicking.

Holy moly that was an incredible experience. Well done!

The increasingly-dark Duolingo bird has to be my favorite part. Maybe I didn't get all the easter eggs there, but I almost wish the whole game just turned into an elaborate plot for vengeance for the owls.
