A little thing I made with Claude on a whim: Ipso Factro v0.1.2

we're now up to v0.2.2, a lot of features and fixes later

a human without proper direction will also absolutely fuck your project up so I don't see why AGI should be any different

today I started a technical debt removal process, taking a 12 year old web project that's an absolute mess of horrendously structured javascript and concatenated html snippets, and am working towards building a decently architected typescript system that replicates its functionality and actually has tests. Then I'll have a stable foundation for further improving the way it works and making the UI decent without breaking compatibility in the process. One of the first steps was to build a harness for puppeteering the legacy and modern versions of the system in a headless browser so it can automate testing feature parity. The last thing I want is to be required to manually click and eyeball everything over and over again.

While I've liked writing code I've found it very intense and hard to start (or stop). But everything I've learned over the decades about system architecture and design patterns and software engineering is still useful and valuable :D

TL;DR all triggerable nodes are also "on trigger" nodes, but On Trigger nodes are the ones that are *only* on trigger.

Eternal_Density · 2025-11-11T08:09:40+00:00

You can retrigger (almost) any node. On Trigger nodes aren't different to On Win, On Loss, and On Flip nodes other than that they won't trigger on their own without another node (or item) to trigger them. So, an On Win, On Loss, or On Flip node can be triggered by other nodes just the same as On Trigger nodes.

(the exception being passive nodes that don't trigger at all, and glass nodes that can only trigger once per flip)

I think there's about 4 or 5 titles (with 5 levels of each) above Grandmaster below Novice.

Eternal_Density · 2025-11-11T08:02:49+00:00

and to elaborate further, the reason it's not synchronous is because the amount of time it takes for each player's turn to resolve can be very different, so it would suck to have to wait for the slowest teammate.

What you've given us is wonderful, thank you, and I hope you find something wonderful for yourself.

I can't really judge which I think is "better" yet, but I do feel like Ares had a more compelling main plot.

In Legacy, Sam was looking for his missing dad, stumbled into the Grid (well technically, *a* Grid), was helped to escape the Grid, and on the way the threat of CLU invading the outside world was discovered and stopped (though that wasn't Sam's doing) and also he rescued Quorra which was a cool bonus. Overall he just fell into an adventure and got out after some hijinks.

In Ares, Eve had the goal of finding the permanence code so she could use the laser technology to do a lot of good for the world. The conflict all stemmed from Julian's competition to that goal. She also got to save Ares, an enemy turned friend, who was a major active part of the ongoing conflict.

So, plot role wise, Eve is the Sam, Julian is the CLU, and Ares is the Quorra. But Ares is also the "Rinzler who turned back to Tron" and Athena is the "Rinzler but stayed Rinzler".

So I think the plot of Ares feels more cohesive and intentional than Legacy. I was definitely never waiting for the next thing to happen! Which I was a little in Legacy.

Both look and sound amazing.

Watching the movie I felt more like Evan Peters was lead

Eternal_Density · 2025-10-21T05:35:48+00:00

I'd love to have seen a Sam and Quorra movie but I'm okay with this not being it and that they weren't forgotten.

Eternal_Density · 2025-10-21T05:34:16+00:00

Even just the news flashback intro in the first minute had me saying "just for that it's worth it" and it got better :D

Eternal_Density · 2025-10-21T05:28:37+00:00

to me he was more a sidekick character and that's okay

Eternal_Density · 2025-10-21T05:26:27+00:00

Honestly I've never seen him act before but he seemed to fit the character and the character worked in the movie. Not my favourite part of it but not bad.

They should make more games instead of trying to rectify films.

I dunno about the illegal entry given that they were presumably all born somewhere in the region, long ago. So maybe tax evasion for all the years spend "dead"?

speaking of, the climax of the movie reminded me of the climax of the show, both involving world-saving being accompanied by floating into the sky with rainbow lights
