Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games.
The story goes that in ye olde comic books, where everything was written in capital letters and kerning was a myth, they used to avoid the words"flick" and"flicker" because a capital L next to a capital I could easily smear together and be misread. It's the same reason there's only one major superhero named"Clint", and it's also the reason Clickolding stylizes its title in all-caps.
This man sits in his armchair and demands that you click. There's a wad of cash in it for you if you click 10,000 times. He just wants to watch. And occasionally demand you stand in a different part of the room, or interact with something specific inside the room, and your clicker won't increment until you do what he wants. He doesn't move much, but occasionally his hands flex.
The endless cycle of videogame discourse includes among its talking points"I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" and"videogames don't have to be fun." In the Venn diagram overlap of those two concepts is Clickolding, a game a patient and determined clicker could wrap up in forty minutes that exists to make you feel unsettled.
