Is shrinking the window down to make the DVD logos hit the edge more often considered cheating?

I think this is considered smart thinking (from my point of view).

Spam DVD logo upgrades as fast as you can. Open your browser as big as it will go. When the DVD logo gets close to the top, start shrinking the browser slowly. I think the DVD positioning is calculated from the bottom of the page, there's a bug where the logo(s) will get stuck near the top as you shrink the page and will constantly re-register a bounce multiple times per second. Eventually all the logos you buy will get clumped at the top, and you can get 1MM Stimulation per "bounce".

Reminds me of a story I heard as a kid. Short version, guy can't sleep. Someone tells him get a dog. Dog barks, still can't sleep. Well you'll also need a blah... repeat until the man has a small farm of loud animals going. Then finally "get rid of them" and suddenly it's all so quiet again. It's pretty fascinating how much more calm everything seems when you finish/stop this game

I felt an immediate, physical relief when I hit the credits screen.

for people that don't want to click a lot, paste in "setInterval(() => document.querySelector('.main-btn').click(), 20)" into the browser console, clicks 50x per second for you :)

If you shrink the window down as small as possible the DVD logos collide super fast and earn a ton of stimulation.

ah ! clever

Loads of other stuff is custom made... All those emails for example. Maybe someone made the podcast for some other reason and never released it?

Reaction streamer seems custom made as well

If I'm not mistaken, that's Ludwig! A friend of mine is a big fan; I was surprised to see him in this game("").

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.

This. Just send me one email with a receipt and a link to the tracker. I'll open it if I want to know.

Wow, that was amazing. This is honestly a better piece of contemporary art (in terms of making you think about modern life and what is happening to our environment, the impact on ourselves, our kids, etc.) than most of what you might see at a fancy art gallery or a contemporary art museum in NYC.

My most efficient hack without JS: get the hydraulic press, start it, and click once to collect 1,000 stimulation. Then spam the space bar repeatedly to get another 1,000 for every key press

I say this as someone who's tried all the state-of-the-art voice generation systems: so far, nobody has trained an AI to "chew the scenery" nearly as effectively and effusively as these voice actors having the time of their lives playing southern belles and bean company owners who are blisteringly envious that a dead mermaid is stealing their spotlight by dying from a megalodon attack.

Haha, the problem is: we still haven't gotten AI to generate voices! "State of the art" just uses regular TTS engines and then adds extra inflection as "special sauce" or stretches it out, etc. At least, that is how it works for these AI generators that need to do it "at scale." When you can spend more on classic speech models, you can go well beyond that (see Siri, Google, Alexa, etc).

Hahaha I thought my mobile browser finally crashed after I clicked that

Yeah, mobile devices struggle with this game, mine crashed as well after clicking on this button. normally you would be shown a video of calming waves and the credits of the game, with all the other noise and distractions disappearing.

Luckily the first time I finished it on PC and got the ending right. My phone also crashed the browser upon ending button.
