I'm a little interested in knowing how it would react if you reset the size of the mouse cursor to something larger than the spider... would it still try to capture it?

@benroyce I like reading at the screen, some kind of environmental storytelling

It longs to taste the cursor, legends say no spider has been able to devour this forbidden treat.

You sit in front of a box wherein you move differences in electrical charge from one place to another. After a week, you are paid with other electrical charges being moved around within another box owned by your bank.

And it's all real.

@benroyce I appreciate we can see the message behind the jumping spider talking about the jumping spider. it's very satisfying

@benroyce If I had video skills, I'd have it actually pull the cursor from out the screen at the end and start wrapping it in silk.

@VikingChieftain with doomscrolling at least you know you're getting doom. This poor spood isn't getting anything but frustration
