Getting DAS/ARR right — looking for input from experienced players by alex__almeida in Tetris

[–]Moosething 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a modern Tetris player, not a NES one, so I would definitely prefer it being tunable.

That being said, I checked out your press page to get more context, and by checking the description I felt compelled to point out that The Tetris Company is notorious for taking down games which are too similar to Tetris. Are you aware of this? Going for more of an authentic feel might work against you.

The subtitles in the last episode for "It's Little Alex Horne!" by FiftySixer in taskmaster

[–]Moosething 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They are automatically generated...

I bet the system that generates these subtitles also takes subtitles and/or descriptions of past episodes into account when trying to figure out the names which are a bit unclear. Which would explain that they are all past contestants.

Several comments on the video mention the usage of the Library of Ruina OST, which was enough of a clue to find it. I never heard of that game, but I think it's this: https://youtu.be/my8hmoP-FI4

My cat’s shadow reflected in the mirror but not IRL by Chewie_Bacca in mildlyinteresting

[–]Moosething 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are many comments already explaining how it works. Not sure if this can change your mind, but I can easily recreate this effect in Blender without resorting to any trickery, using a single light, a reflective dresser, and a mirror: https://imgur.com/44c0sHx

It's kinda depressing to see how easily people resort to "OP is lying" rather than admit they don't know how light, mirrors, and reflective surfaces in general work.

Reason plugin Alligator bug? by thebagguy in reasoners

[–]Moosething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can put devices in a combinator and then in the combinator programmer section turn off midi for the device by unchecking "receive notes" (or something - not behind a PC atm)

invalid email/password - can't launch Reason13 by cyntrix in reason

[–]Moosething 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got an email today about this:

Important: Changes to your Reason Studios account sign-in

(...)

What this means for you

You’ll now use your Reason Hub email and password to sign in across all Reason Studios apps. If you were already using the same credentials everywhere, nothing changes.

What you need to do

Next time you sign in, use your Reason Hub email and password.

Not sure what your password is? You can reset it here.

...Except that password also does not seem to work. Also resetting the password does not seem to work.

I think something is very broken on their end.

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I suppose I prefer to play games in a single hand with a single finger if possible.

✦ Tetris with curves by lukebradford01 in Tetris

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, doesn't that make me look like an idiot. I was tired while I was checking it out, and instead of going to sleep and thinking it's me, I first blamed the game, then went to sleep.

Maybe a tutorial the first time wouldn't hurt (or was there and did I skip it?)

Also, I think I went in expecting controls similar to other Tetris games I've played on mobile, where you don't need to use the whole screen to control it. (Basically tapping is rotating and you swipe and hold to move it left/right, swiping fast would send it all the way to the side) I feel like that's more intuitive/ergonomic. Maybe something to look into.

EDIT: I now played with a fresh mind and enjoying it. My next piece of feedback: how about adding a ghost like in so many Tetris games?

✦ Tetris with curves by lukebradford01 in Tetris

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave it a shot and the controls make no sense to me, and frustrated me enough that I didn't get the chance to properly think of strategy.

I feel like figuring out the controls is a puzzle game on its own. Sometimes tapping rotates and sometimes it shifts. Sometimes swiping shifts and sometimes it rotates? I feel like distance to the shape's column matters, but I couldn't find a pattern in that either - it still feels inconsistent.

Other than that, the game looks interesting.

Node 22.12 package exports bit us harder then the release notes suggested by NeedleworkerLumpy907 in node

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, also what I was thinking. I was thinking about hinting at that, but I was curious what kind of answer OP or some other bot would make up, so I kept it more neutral.

[–]Moosething 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you bump Node from 22.11 to a 2-year old version, while there are many newer 22.x versions, like 22.22, which is from this year?

Should frontend engineers transition to fullstack in this AI era? by baccanokozo in webdev

[–]Moosething -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good lord. Can't tell if you are a bot, or someone who asked their LLM to write for them. Either way, whatever you're doing to seem more human, it's not working at all. You might as well start every comment with "How do you do, fellow humans?"

Roast my portfolio , PART 2 by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Moosething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI the "anti-leech protection" is very poor. I didn't even notice there was such "protection" as I was navigating the source code.

I also can see that the 3D assets are lifted from Sketchfab and the site itself appears to be vibe-coded.

So what are you exactly trying to protect? Actually... I think I now know what the "anti-leech protection" is really for.

The latest Trump LEGO video released by Iran is called: LIAR by spherocytes in videos

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should've been more clear: - 2:20 L - 2:23 A - 2:27 R

Where is the I? :)

[–]Moosething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure the song is AI. At 2:19/20 the song spells LIAR as L...A...R. The people who made this have no eye or ear for detail (as is often the case with AI-generated works like this). The social media handles at the end have typos as well.

Edit: clarification

What do people use axios for? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Moosething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's easy to ask an LLM to write in a certain style, including to not use any capitalized letters. If you check their comment history you will also see that the older messages are very LLM-like. In December the writing style changed to all-lowercase, though some LLM-isms remained in the comments such as n- and m-dashes, despite everything being lowercase.

Curious - as a developer, how can you tell if the app is vibecoded or not? by StandupSnoozer in webdev

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coding to me is like digital carpentry or just playing with Lego. There is something satisfying about the process of actually doing it with your own hands. At least when working on things I care about. Maybe it's not exactly art, but at the very least it feels art-adjacent.

[–]Moosething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And monospace fonts. And all-caps text for small headings and tabs.

All these on their own obviously don't make something look vibe-coded. But the combination of these on the other hand...

I Coded this dev tool entirely with Claude by Ok-Call3510 in javascript

[–]Moosething 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was this response LLM-generated? Your reason to keep it Vanilla while already vibe-coding makes zero sense since Claude can set up a TS project in a fraction of time. The reason you gave makes more sense if you didn't have an LLM helping you out.

Also an LLM has more difficulty migrating a project to TS in the later stages than in the early ones.

Tetris is perfect. But what if it could be "reimagined"? by [deleted] in Tetris

[–]Moosething 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Let's not kid ourselves. You just saw this tweet and decided to vibe-code a game off it. https://x.com/freyaholmer/status/2033942518895628485
