    This game is so realistic that it makes me irrationally angry. A lot of those dark patterns are shit that makes you think “it’s not a bug, it’s an anti-feature”:

    • exploiting the natural (albeit undesired) fact that some elements move, as the page loads up
    • spamming pop-up “messages”, and doing so in a way that obstruct other elements, and it “just” happens to be the element you want to click (but the interface designer doesn’t want you to)
    • weaponising user confirmation to make what should be the “default” option (no tip) take more effort than the others
    • etc.

    I bet most of those are banned here in Brazil (that basically follows whatever the EU is doing), but it still fills me with rage.

      This is really bad ui, I need a interface contract when anything is drawn it won’t move without user interaction first, like scrolling.
