1 gem???
Only 1?
Easy there Satan…
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
Then add a second currency for just 3 hour blocks that can only be bought in groups 5
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
yep same for me and was tempted to delete it, I think my Lemmy instance is a bit slow than the others
lemmy.sdf.org seems to be extremely buggy lately, I'm considering moving off to somewhere else :/
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
This clock is bullshit. No skins? No emotes? Bro where's the Minecraft parlour in the background? This is ass.
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
Lol, which phone doesn't come with an alarm functionality? Even the good old Nokia 3310 had one.
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.
Ah I see, the damned slumber button.
People will unironicallt say "You don't have to pay money if you don't want to. What's the problem?"
Congratulations, you made me angry.
you forgot "time remaining for hours 1-9: 5:03 [refresh gems]"
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.
Don't give them any ideas!
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.
Where are the loot boxes and slot machines?
