The sad but funny part of this is: If I sent this to my computer science class of 12-13 year olds, 50% would not even get the joke and just go and play it like their usual brainrot cookie clicker.

#483Found a weird bug... I've got a 3 monitor setup and the background animations (rain + pinwheel) only appears on 2 of the monitors... If the window straddles two of the monitors the animations only play on one half of the window!

When that happened to me, a simple ⌘0 reset the size.
what device has both zoom tapping and apple's ctrl button?
Literally every Mac with a trackpad, which includes every laptop.
It’s not “Apple ctrl button”, it’s the “command” key. Macs have a “control” key too.

It's not self-defeating, it's a commentary. I've built up a reflex to leave any sort of overstimulatory atmosphere. I don't watch short form videos and leave any page that causes high levels of stimulation (Temu's spinner stops me from shopping there, for example). I quit this game after about 10 minutes when it hit a comical level of stimulation and still upvoted this. I loved the commentary because the game seemed…
You lasted 10 minutes? I lasted about 30 seconds. Life is too short.
There’s some pretty funny commentary in there mixed into the absurd overstimulation

#487My favorite part was my iPhone struggling to run this thing once it got busy, and me desperate to not lose the game. Took me back to the old days!

#488The real hidden gem here is the hilarious 40 minute mermaid-themed true crime podcast parody that you'll only hear a portion of if you progress quickly. As far as I can tell, it's fully custom-made for this game? Can't find any references to the characters online. https://stimulation-clicker.neal.fun/ sounds/true-crime.mp3 - it's hosted on Cloudflare, but even so I don't want to cost OP significant bandwidth, so join…
It's weird, it seems like it's the only custom made thing on the game, why only that one?

#489The crypto prices were so unrealistic. I was able to just keep buying Bitcoin with 2x leverage when it was low and make millions when it subsequently went up after. I barely paid attention to any other ways to make stimulation. Please implement liquidation mechanisms and more volatility.
Re: Stimulation Clicker
#490This 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…
Having a "aha" moment while playing a game is enjoyable. That does not mean it can't be critical at the same time.
One of most popular misconceptions in art is that art that deals with serious topics has to be hard to consume and no fun is allowed to make it good art. Your reflection alone is a testament to what thoughts the game produced by making you do a thing. Of course the stimulation has to be somewhat enjoyable, wouldn't be realistic otherwise – in reality this is how they get you.
