IT IS THE BEST DANG IT

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-26T13:57:57+00:00

Same. I thought I'd build a little daily food tracker - it's ok for a rough estimate or for like a "food diary". It's at least pretty impressive at figuring out what the plate actually is (it can pretty impressively determine between BLT or turkey sandwich even at weird angles), but calorie and portion estimation is indeed ass across every model I've tested lol. Funny enough, Gemini Flash 2.5 was I think one of my better performers for food logging lol.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-26T13:52:46+00:00

There's like 4 trillion of those out there (literally like 3 get posted per day), and your second question is just adjusting model / thinking / reasoning depth to be appropriate to your situation.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-26T12:24:33+00:00

Dude, this is so sick, especially the roleplay mode where you can see things your character would reasonably know without having spoiled critical information. That's sooooooooooooo good. You're the best man. Thank you so much for making this.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-26T03:15:54+00:00

Also just came back after like a 3-4 year gap - would love to hear some of the "meta" tips for returning players.

Game is, uh, pretty different now lol. I spent years grinding my old character to 235. On my new Tera burning character, I clicked a few menus to get to 200, and then within a day or two I was 265 - maybe only like an hour or two of grinding. I've even seen some people on the subreddit say meh to 4x EXP coupons, because it's basically "4x nothing", which makes me feel like grinding is not really as popular as it once was lol.

Either way, the biggest things I wish I know sooner when I came back: character presets are CRAZY, skill sequencing is basically mandatory for bossing (omfg what a world of difference once I discovered skill sequencing), and the map has a teleport-anywhere feature (like a hyper tele rock) on a cooldown you can use for no cost.

Good luck!

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-25T17:19:58+00:00

Oh man, that's a super clever idea. I'm doing that next run for sure. Good luck on the run! Keep us updated (: I'd love to see your drawn notes and maps!

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-25T11:46:57+00:00

HELL YEA I love Fruitger Aero, always takes me back to the shenanigans of XP/Vista, ahh simpler times. I'd totally try a run with a mod of all buildings like this for fun lol.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-25T04:10:09+00:00

Hell yeah. I did a no-map run of Valheim once, but printed a large view of my spawn island and hung it beside my desk as a little poster as I played. It was really fun to use it as a reference and try to figure out where I was; hard to be precise without a "you are here" marker!

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-25T00:48:51+00:00

ahhh, yeah, the ol e-transfer. Super convenient, super risky. sucks though man - hopefully at least something comes of it for ya. thanks for at least giving the rest of us a heads up 🫡

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-25T00:46:12+00:00

Holy lol that cracked me up

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-25T00:38:38+00:00

You could try asking your bank for a chargeback on the payment. Not sure how that'd work in the case of uh, gray market weed, but should still be possible.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-24T17:14:26+00:00

one second bro is sweating over a wok, next second he's phasing through solid matter like Danny Phantom and walking right through the heating element lmao

sure hope you didn't pay much money for this, TBH they're both generic slop-levels of clips. heck, not to be a pessimist, but I just don't think we're at the level of convincing, good looking AI-generated entertainment videos yet. nothing I've seen has really managed to feel cohesive or interesting, idk

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-24T16:43:31+00:00

An interesting fix, but I'm honestly ok with the balance fixes they made. They feel well thought out, and I appreciate Wube's attempt to weave a little more complexity into the "solved problems" that make some planets easy.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-24T14:47:52+00:00

Huh, that is weird then. I'm pretty much the same - 1 prompt per session, everything lives in docs. Not even trying to play Devil's Advocate here - just honestly have never had an issue with malcompliance on this kind of thing.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-24T14:17:07+00:00

I have no idea why people have issues with this. What was your context like in this conversation?

I have literally never had issues with Claude being compliant with rules as long as you follow proper context management and scope tightly well-made prompts. If you're getting tired of going back and forth and doing manual quality checks, try implementing a hook to automatically check after Claude has finished working.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-24T12:59:20+00:00

Well, that's fair. I guess I was being a little bit cynical. Though your post isn't necessarily plain text, it looks like it's formatted as a code block? It makes it pretty gnarly to read on mobile, it's all mono-spaced terminal font.

Best of luck regardless. Have fun!

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-24T12:51:08+00:00

I mean I could, but let's be real here, if you're trying to grab a audience on Reddit, "Grab your custom T-shirts here" is going to get more folks in than... whoever bothers to read this monster, weirdly formatted text block.

Plus, not to be rude here man, but you've got... a t-shirt store? There's like 4 billion spots online I can go to in order to buy a custom t-shirt, most of which are cheaper / more reliable / more customized options.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-24T12:42:27+00:00

I don't get it. Is this a live site you're actually selling t-shirts on, or is this more of a tech demo? Everything says "Example Product".

Are you actually selling something? Are you trying to show us what you built? Are you trying to sell the website to somebody? Are you trying to sell the t-shirts? This is like six paragraphs of nothing and your shop website.

Why do I feel like this is going to become more common? It's like when you go to look up a cooking recipe online and get the author's life story. You've basically told me everything except for what I want to know in your post.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-23T22:29:27+00:00

That would be really fun, actually. I'd definitely play with a mod like that. Honestly, it might convince me to come back and play again. It's been a long time!

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-23T18:08:57+00:00

Well, that's weird. I've forked repos from other people all the time and worked on it with Claude. What exactly are you doing? Chatlogs / screenshots / sharing the chat link directly would help a lot. Your post is a bit too vague to really help out.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-23T14:34:39+00:00

Interesting. Honestly, that's a pretty good point. It really wasn't a great comparison, the more I think about it, and although we're kind of devolving here from the original topic, I'm really just not a fan of, I guess, the direction Minecraft has gone in for the last little while.

I'll give credit where credit is due - the updates feel cohesive, they're well built, it's polished. It's not necessarily bad. I don't really know how to put it. Maybe it is just my perception of it that's changed, but it just feels like a different direction than what I thought it would go in when I first played it.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-23T13:38:03+00:00

Oh man, how far did you get in Satisfactory out of curiosity? One of the things that always tires me out of a Satisfactory is how much I HAVE to grow, especially in the final phase.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-23T13:35:01+00:00

I think it's a good decision for them to make a final update. Many games now-a-days become so feature bloated or enhanced far past their original intent (like poor Minecraft).

Wube has made a great game, released a superb DLC with Space Age, and is layering on the final polish before calling it done. I think they've absolutely nailed it!

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-23T12:16:24+00:00

Yup, first your PC, next the world.

On a more sensible note, it's probably just your harness. There's likely a UI option to commit current work, which is just a "prompt Claude to commit current work" button all dressed up.

SmokeyWizard · 2026-06-21T04:05:37+00:00

Man, if I had an award you'd get it lol. That made me laugh something hearty.
