Where is the “Watch the ad to get 1 gem” button?

[–] satanmat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

1 gem???

Only 1?

Easy there Satan…

[–] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 83 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

No way, those gem costs are way off, they have to be just larger than one of the packs. Minutes would cost 550 so that you either need to buy 2 500s or a 1250 pack.

120 missed calls from EA

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

Then add a second currency for just 3 hour blocks that can only be bought in groups 5

[–] ThoGot@feddit.org 11 points 2 weeks ago

Or the packs are 450 and 950 gems

At first this wouldn’t load and was just the spinning thing but a bit longer than normal, probably because of some network issue on my part, but I thought for a bit that you had really expertly trolled me.

I mean the meme is good too, iap and subscriptions dumb (it would also absolutely have obtrusive ads) but man that would’ve been great

[–] mack@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yep same for me and was tempted to delete it, I think my Lemmy instance is a bit slow than the others

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

lemmy.sdf.org seems to be extremely buggy lately, I'm considering moving off to somewhere else :/

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 points 2 weeks ago

I had this problem too! I was confused if it was the spinny thing the meme or it didn't load at all so i just copied the link and put it in my browser. It took ages to fully load in the browser too so i think the problem may be his instance

I thought it was a gif playing off using the pre-broadband download times as a clock

Once the image loads thats another minute complete

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 32 points 2 weeks ago

This clock is bullshit. No skins? No emotes? Bro where's the Minecraft parlour in the background? This is ass.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I unironically had an alarm clock app during uni that didn't work on Wednesdays. For a few semesters I had only late lectures on Wednesdays so it worked for me

[–] dbx12@programming.dev 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol, which phone doesn't come with an alarm functionality? Even the good old Nokia 3310 had one.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I used the inbuilt alarm on Wednesdays. I have a deep sleep so I need more aggressive alarms to wake up early. I think it made you solve a puzzle to turn it off.

[–] dbx12@programming.dev 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ah I see, the damned slumber button.

[–] mang0@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago

People will unironicallt say "You don't have to pay money if you don't want to. What's the problem?"

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

Congratulations, you made me angry.

you forgot "time remaining for hours 1-9: 5:03 [refresh gems]"

[–] WestVaginia@ani.social 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

lmao it’s always “free clock app” until it wants your location, contacts, blood type and the deed to your house. somehow the numbers still don’t even show up on time.

[–] daw@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not accurate. In this case u don't need the faces for the clock to work fine. In the apps that isn't the case.

[–] ComradePenguin@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Where are the loot boxes and slot machines?

[–] ol_capt_joe@piefed.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Don't give them any ideas!
