The 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/ 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 the two strings above for the direct link.
"Aww, he was all cat 'n tonic when he first saw her." An absolute classic. I would do anything to know more about how this came to exist.

- btown 2y agoI 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.
- withinboredom 2y agoHaha, 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).

- ccvannorman 2y agoSpeed-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!
- anais9 2y agoI envy your rig - mine glitched a lot to get it in <3min. Might not be doing myself a service by actually answering the Duolingo questions via LLM... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-J0ppP-H9s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-J0ppP-H9s

- jml7c5 2y agoReminds me a bit of The Onion's "A Very Fatal Murder" podcast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Very_Fatal_Murder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Very_Fatal_Murder
- ehsankia 2y agoWas the mukbang also custom?
- syncsynchalt 2y agoYes, the actor has a credit at the end.
- anon7000 2y agoI noticed the podcast at one point mentions neal.fun, so definitely custom made!
- duskwuff 2y agoThe podcast makes a couple of winking references to other bits of the game, including a mention of "that time that poor boy was pushed into that hydraulic press".
- silisili 2y agoAbsolutely. Reminded me of all the effort GTA spent on radio, to much fanfare. The entire production value is fantastic. Glad to see Neal expanding. This is only a half step away from something less jokey, and more marketable. If that's the path he chooses, of course. But judging by his smiling face in the center of it all wearing a poor fitting crown, I think he's just in it for the lulz. And I may respect that even more.
- synctext 2y agoLess jokey? This great packaging has a critical social media tone for me. Absolutely amazing fun and addictive showing almost dark patterns. For a deep dive: "Ethics of the attention economy: The problem of social media addiction", [1] [1] https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/1CC67609A12E9A912BB8A291FDFFE799/S1052150X20000329a.pdf https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/c...
- joseda-hg 2y agoIt's weird, it seems like it's the only custom made thing on the game, why only that one?
- londons_explore 2y agoLoads of other stuff is custom made... All those emails for example. Maybe someone made the podcast for some other reason and never released it?

- eleveriven 2y agoI started listening to the podcast at first, but then it just became impossible. Really awesome!
- clgeoio 2y agoThis is an amazing podcast - I'm glad I took the time to listen
- kregasaurusrex 2y agoThanks for the direct link- this makes understimulated listening much easier & it was easy to miss within the cacophony of everything else.
