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 to follow the natural "evolution" of the web, straight to the point where every app has attached mini games and multiple in-game currencies. Listening to the man popping his beer can and pouring it at the same time as a live police scanner was truly dystopian but also feels like a daily occurrence in modern society.
- aszantu 2y agoI think I quit after the DVD sounds
- rdiddly 2y agoI quit (the first time) after the first three totally unlabeled icons appeared. Not having hovered on them, I had no idea there was anything more. Lesson for designers of scroll bars and other commonly-hidden but important UI elements.
- indrora 2y agoThe mobile version places an explicit "upgrades" button to indicate that they're clickable. perhaps it's another commentary...
- allemagne 2y agoI think it's great that you didn't really have a stomach for the absurd level of noise and flashing lights, but I just don't think it's a moral victory that people should necessarily strive for.
- wiseowise 2y agoI do. Less people tolerate crap like this (not the submission, but patterns it emulates), the less we will see it implemented.
- nineteen999 2y agoYou lasted 10 minutes? I lasted about 30 seconds. Life is too short.
- ENGNR 2y agoThere’s some pretty funny commentary in there mixed into the absurd overstimulation
- nineteen999 2y agoMaybe, but my life feels better by going for run for 30 minutes or to the gym, or spending time with my kid and/or partner rather than clicking one button on a web page for 30 minutes straight.
