I was a tester for this game! Testing it with a small group was hilarious; I was super motivated to try to win (although I rarely won) since I knew everyone else playing and the notifications came all the time because Justin was doing lots of testing. It absolutely ruined me (which is the point!)

This is a gold mine, too:

Love it! Now needed more than ever.

Only shows a link for iOS and it also says "concluded" so it sounds like even if I had an Apple device, it has been shut down?

If so, I'm very tempted to make a variant that uses email since I'll run an email server with cronjobs forever anyway (for my other million projects). Will shoot the author a (you guessed it) email to check if they're okay with that when due credits are given!

ChatGPT Youtube Player is also hilarious: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chatgpt-youtube-pla...

It plays a youtube video while you wait for chatGPT to finish responding to your prompt lmao!

As much as this is the complete opposite of what I consider to be a healthy way to use computers, this is really neat.

I unintentionally made something that had a similar effect once.

I wrote an application (back when android phones still had notification leds) that allowed us employees to notify each other whether our boss was in the building or not. A state change could be triggered by anyone from their phone (there was some "debouncing" server side), which then popped up a silent notification on everyone's phone telling them who updated the status, as well as switched the color of the notification LED (green meant the boss had left the office, red meant that he was in).

It got pretty funny watching everyone scramble for their phones as soon as our boss closed the door, each time he had to leave. And of course, they competed to see whose name would show up in the notification.

as if my life isn't gameified for entertainment already lol
