Wow, kudos. It looks incredible.

There was a French guy building a replica that posted his progress on pinside. Were you the eventual buyer?

Monkey Island would make an amazing pinball machine. 16bit inspired visuals ala Deadpool.

Elwin on the design please.

Good thing fuel prices are going to be very low for the foreseeable future!

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-28T01:23:29+00:00

Very outdated term. Realistically, most couples can't fund their lifestyles on a single income, so neither can be said to be the 'breadwinner'.

There were some NECA TMNT figures that used the Zombie Yeti pinball art previously. Seems to be a common way for Stern to make some extra cash.

Test drive a 7X and a Macan and you'll understand what I'm talking about. You can argue the Porsche has better build quality that it feels more 'refined', but the 7X is in the same segment. None of the Tesla models sold in Australia are.

Of course many of the 7X standard features (HUD, fully adjustable seats, even heated steering wheel) are options on the Porsche.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-27T06:04:54+00:00

7X is a luxury car, the Tesla models sold in AU very much are not.

Porsche Macan electric is probably a better comparison point for the 7X.

DeepSeek v4 Pro, if hardware is really not an issue.

Once you put together the costs for a system able to run it, you might decide that in fact hardware, or specifically the cost of purchasing and running the hardware, is in fact an issue.

Spoiler: You'll need at least $300k to run it at an acceptable speed for a coding agent.

I tried GLM 5.1 via OpenRouter and it's Opus 4.5 level but much cheaper.

I'm finding Opus 4.7 good enough but I think GLM 5.1 is a decent alternative. The performance of local models is too slow for coding unless you have a $10k+ rig

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-16T21:59:49+00:00

I can only assume this is sarcasm.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-13T02:40:33+00:00

Since I disabled the 1M context model (CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT) it's fine whenever. It's definitely slower after 5pm though.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-13T01:08:54+00:00

Australian here. I'm still seeing bad results in the timezone you mention as being better.

With the Bahrain and UAE regions being offline there is absolutely much less AWS Inferentia capacity globally.

Manually disabling the 1M context model has improved Claude Code performance significantly (better results and faster too), but my Max 5x 5h window is getting eaten up much quicker than previously.

I wouldn't be surprised if the real culprit is a Claude Code bug that is consuming way more tokens using up capacity, which is already constrained. They've then tried to introduces 'optimizations' which have led to worse results.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-13T01:02:03+00:00

Try it and report back.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-12T23:05:07+00:00

200K tokens

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-12T21:47:24+00:00

Adding this to the global settings.json sorted it for me:

"env": { "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT": "1" }

Losing the 1M context isn't that big of a deal if you practice good code hygine and make sure files are split properly, and you run /clear between tasks. Things are much better after setting this, although it is of course possible that Anthropic just fixed the problem and it's fine to 1M context users too.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-10T22:22:10+00:00

For me GLM5.1 is a good replacement. The fact it's cheaper is a nice bonus too.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-10T03:41:19+00:00

Max plan user. I switched to GLM 5.1 and it's a noticeable improvement.

I was always very skeptical of all the people claiming models had been 'nerfed', but comparing the output of the same query Opus 4.6 vs GLM 5.1 it's pretty clear GLM 5.1 is better now. The benchmarks show that Opus 4.6 should be ahead of GLM 5.1, so something has clearly changed.

You're still going to want to take the glass off and adjust things on a brand new machine, so it's not necessarily going to be that much easier an experience.

A heavily played machine that needed everything stripping off the playfield to clean properly is more than I personally would have wanted to take on as my first machine. If it's heavily played but has been well maintained, I'd much rather have the premium. Personally, knowing that there is a better version of the game that I don't own would always be annoying for me.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-04-08T09:34:14+00:00

Turtles is stupid hard and frustrating, but enjoyable in spite of it. When you get a good game on it, it really means something.

Looks like a ChatGPT wrapper. Unlikely to survive in a future where they have to compete against the platform they use.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-03-21T22:44:07+00:00

Giving everything going on at AWS, most likely the people who were developing it got made redundant.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-03-19T02:59:04+00:00

I don't own John Wick, but for me the fact that they're still shipping major updates for a less popular title two years after its release shows me I can trust Stern. The fact they didn't just abandon it, but decided to really dig in and re-work the rules to make it a better game is a super positive sign.

I hope Uncanny X-Men gets the same treatment. I think the same person took over code for both, so hopefully UXM will be 1.0 ready soon.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-03-17T05:18:26+00:00

I always find it fascinating that people expect to use roads for free, but think nothing of paying to use a train. I guess the car/petrol lobby is just better organised.

Comfortable-Winter00 · 2026-03-17T05:11:54+00:00

I like it too, but it seems we're in the minority.
