@special-boy@cassidyclown Not true. Put a slice in a toaster oven for 5 minutes at 250 degrees, and you'll curse Big Microwave for deceiving you all these years.
(You could also do it in a regular oven but that's overkill and takes longer.)
@crunklord420 That's good news, I was hyped for this game before all that bullshit hit.
Can't believe they stalled this for 6 years because of trivial bullshit.
@crunklord420@RustyCrab It's slightly edited, I think what he said immediately afterwards was "are you high?" before declaring the whole thing embarrassing.
@mint@RustyCrab It's a design gimmick to simplify interfaces. Mobile screens have limited input options (tap, long press, swipe) compared to desktop, and traditionally less hardware power; so less functionality is presented to the user. But if you put two tiny buttons and leave the rest of the screen blank, it feels like your app is empty (and they're harder to reliably tap). So they make fewer options look bigger.
This design is reinforced by studies showing that mobile users tend to get frustrated the more they have to interact with apps. Just like web devs have those studies that show 60% of people stop using a site once they're required to login, and 90% stop when setting up an account requires an email.
You could jam 50 options on a screen, but then a user has to scroll, squint, scroll, squint, maybe tap a sub-menu, scroll more, then finally hit a button that may be smaller than their fingers so they hit the one next to it. But users would hate it, the usage numbers would go down, and your dipshit manager who only knows how to read a Google Analytics Dashboard would freak out.
@crunklord420 Then consider yourself lucky. My stopping point was flipping a lever, then a tape recorder started playing a quote by Albert Einstein for 5 minutes.
@crunklord420 I gave up like 2 hours into it. Is this one of those cases where the game just loops around back to the beginning where "the real key to leaving was here all along" kind of thing?
@RustyCrab@mint@binkle I like it, you get random things from Minds, Mastodon, people posting travel pics or landscapes, autistic sperging about some obscure FOSS tech, etc. It's like a totally uncurated Twitter, the good and the bad.
But you do have to spend the first day muting instances and bots, otherwise it looks mostly like porn and anime.
