Since I was little I've wasted time clicking and clicking on these games; I admit it's more of an addiction shared with a few than anything else. I spent hours and hours on cookie clicker and others of that kind...

It's certainly not a style for everyone, but the thrill lies in seeing the numbers grow and things happen. Some are more idle, so it's more about starting and reaching the point where clicking is no longer a requirement for progression, while others made me click until my finger starts to hurt.

But still, they all had some unique quality that made me keep going.

I decided to try and make my own clicker game, but I'm still not sure how to make it interesting. So far I've only designed some t-shirts and karate belts. If this style of game interests you, I need your feedback to figure out how to make it appealing, some ideas to implement.

What do you think about clicker games?

What are you working on this week?

thinking about how to increase my income with the little free time I have available each day after work.

My First PC Build!

Wow, what an amazing machine! 😲 These specs are on another level. The Bitcoin coin adds a touch of charm to the setup. Really cool!

I wasn't sure what to post here or how to contribute to the community, but when I got home, I realized I had something to share.

I started working in 2023, and now, after almost 3 years, I finally began building my own PC. Of course, I’ve had other achievements along the way, but this one took time and planning — and it’s still not finished.

I decided to save a bit of money each month, and once I figured out the system I really wanted, I started buying the parts.

**PC Specs:**
**CPU:** Ryzen 7 9700X
**CPU Cooler:** Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo White
**RAM:** 32GB DDR5 XPG Lancer
**Motherboard:** MSI B650M Gaming Plus Wi-Fi
**PC Case:** Aigo Arc1 Mini
**Power Supply:** MSI MAG A850GL
**SSD:** 1TB Kingston NV3

>I also bought a separate kit with 3 Cooler Master fans, but I'm still not sure how to install them properly. The USB 3.0 cable and the PSU cables are getting in the way — they hit the fans when I try to mount them on the right side.

Still missing a few parts, but it’s coming together!
I'm still deciding which GPU to buy — I've been considering between an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, RX 9600 XT 16GB, or an RTX 5070. And so far, I’ve spent R$6,479 (Brazilian reais).

**How did you find out about SN?**
- I found it on Google while researching the Lightning Network.

**How difficult was it to get started? Any feedback?**
- I had no experience with the Bitcoin Lightning Network. I ended up signing in with Phoenix Wallet, but my withdrawal address is set to Wallet of Satoshi. (I haven’t had time to learn how to set up a node yet)

**How much experience do you have with lightning?**
- Zero experience.

**Have you read the FAQ already?**
- I’ve read some parts of it, but not the entire thing.

**Have you realized that you need to attach a wallet to receive sats?**
- Yes, that was one of the things I read in the FAQ.

**Do you understand the difference between cowboy credits (CCs) and sats?**
- I believe so, but in the end, I’ll probably just recycle them into the rewards pool.

**How were your first weeks on SN?**
- I’ve only used it for one day so far. Work got a bit hectic, and I haven’t been able to log in again since.

Has Brazil Invented the Future of Money? - Paul Krugman

I completely agree with your take on Pix — as a Brazilian, I feel genuinely proud of this system. Transactions are incredibly fast, and easy to use.

What makes it so successful is that all Brazilian banks were required to adopt and integrate it. It works kind of like a simplified and centralized version of the Lightning Network. Everyone has at least one Pix key — often two or more — which can be linked to things like a document number, phone number, or even a randomly generated code. You can also change which bank is associated with each key at any time.

I believe the US isn’t too fond of Pix because it poses a threat to credit and debit card systems, which in Brazil are mostly dominated by American companies like Visa and Mastercard.

Kids should learn cursive

In Brazil, we're taught cursive from a young age — it's the standard way we learn to write in school. 😶‍🌫️
