…why the fuck does a program running a benchmark on my PC need a “free slot” to function?

When there are free slots, users will have to complete a 3D captcha minigame where the goal is to shoot down 13 ships. The minigame isn’t particularly difficult on the surface, but it can get very tedious as there are very few opportunities for users to actually shoot down any ships. We attempted to complete the captcha ourselves but gave up after a few minutes

My guess is uploading slots

It’s crazy I had to scroll down this far to see a comment from someone that actually read the article.

You guys read the articles? I just read the comments. Scrolling to here I’ve learned that:
- The founder of userbenchmark apparently started the site to allegedly manipulate stocks. Specifically Intel and AMD stocks.
- There’s other sites than my goto sites from passmark.
- Some lemmings actually read the articles abd
- The website isn’t really getting paywalled.

The ship minigame actually isn't too hard. You do have to realize that the side panels are radars. However, it requires at least 15 minutes of time at first sight, just for a benchmark?

Once we reach the second threshold, to confirm you’re not a bot and submit a benchmark you need to beat Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.
Once we reach the third threshold, to confirm you are a sadistic gamer and submit a benchmark, you need to play through all 326 paths of Shadow The Hedgehog on an online GameCube emulator in this window.
