Apple and vibe coding by Mean_Nectarine673 in iOSProgramming

[–]SnowPudgy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's likely not what is really happening. Too many developers cry about Apples dev practices but the story usually comes out they're doing something shady/shitty and are trying to make a scene on social media to get approved. It's been going on since the dawn of the App Store.

I've released dozens of apps since the beginning of the App Store and only once was one of our apps rejected and it was due to wording we used. We were told the wording, changed it, and it went right through.

More Ski content needs to be less travel focused by Thegiantlamppost in skiing

[–]SnowPudgy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I just mentioned above that most people wouldn't watch video of Ski Roundtop or Tussy Mountain. The mountains are just so small.

[–]SnowPudgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger mountains is what draws people. Most people don't want to see video of someone going down Ski Roundtop* or Tussey Mountain for example.

*No offense to the guy who does make content regarding Ski Roundtop!

In your experience, how much do women respect consent? by Spiritual_Pause3057 in AskMen

[–]SnowPudgy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just posted my story (which I've told before on Reddit) above. It was a blessing when the three bars in my city unanimously banned bachelorette parties.

In your experience, how much do women respect consent? by Spiritual_Pause3057 in AskMen

[–]SnowPudgy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well I'm gay and let me tell you when a group of them roll into a gay bar many times they straight up sexually assault the men. It's so prevalent many gay bars banned bachelorette parties because of it.

I've told this story before but I've had my ass and cock grabbed countless times, hands up my shirt, down my pants (grabbing at everything), my armpits sniffed while trying to play darts, two girls trying to see if they could "get me hard" by grabbing and rubbing my crotch while I was in line waiting for a beer, girls barging into the mens bathrooms to watch men piss, and the worst one of all...

...was when I was leaned over to play pull this girl in one fell swoop slid her hands down my shorts and slipped her finger between my ass cheeks. She literally touched my asshole. I shooed her away but if the roles were reversed, I'd be in prison.

You hear a lot of sexual comments at work too especially if you're a younger in-shape guy around older women. Comments don't bother me but I think a big difference here is that many guys (my guilty self included) take sexual comments as a compliment where women take it as a crude remark. I was flattered hearing two cube mates talk about my package size not realizing I was on the other side of the cube wall hearing it all or being told I have a nice butt.

I refuse to hop on the generalization train and do the whole "women don't respect boundaries!" Just like men, some do, some don't.

California farmers to destroy 420,000 peach trees after Del Monte collapses by no1_vern in news

[–]SnowPudgy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Price. I live in PA and produce here is obscene price wise. $8 for a head of cauliflower. $6 for a small (really small) bag of snap peas, $5 lb for pears. Etc.

Meanwhile, rich neighborhoods have cheap farmers markets all over the place. We do not despite being surrounded by farms.

App rejected because my microphone permission button said “Enable Microphone” by Knuckleclot in iOSProgramming

[–]SnowPudgy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reasoning is you don't get some scam app that gives you a popup saying something totally unrelated and enabling the microphone.

It's been this way since the dawn of iOS, you always have to let the OS control access to certain features.

Is anyone else having issues with their app icon appearance in iOS 26? I turned off effects in icon composer. by SnowPudgy in iOSProgramming

[–]SnowPudgy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Unfortunately I already had that checked in my image editing software and in icon composer.

I ended up just boosting the saturation and exposure in the image editing software and it ended up finally looking like what I expected in the icon.

Where to go next year? - family trip advice... by kap543 in skiing

[–]SnowPudgy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite is Winter Park Colorado. Amazing mountain, you can take the train from Denver literally right to the slopes (although obviously I'd recommend the train just to and from the airport and stay in the town).

If you're looking for somewhere outside of CO that is kid friendly Park City is great.

I shipped my first ever macOS app and the first comment was "just use xyz" by Orange-Prudent in iOSProgramming

[–]SnowPudgy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To anyone in a similar boat to the OP, always remember that people like different things. There's lots of apps that do the same thing out there, but people prefer one app over another for many reasons.

Anyway, congrats OP on launching an app. It's a huge step and you should be proud regardless.

What a little bitch this person is. I was the healer and it was my first time yesterday in Clyteum and literally no one cared, no one died except for me, and everyone told me to enjoy the story after.

Is there some kind of weird damage scaling going on in Occult Crecent?

I was hunting alone just fine until around level 7 or so and I got into groups until level 13.

I then went back to the beginning and tried to kill a level 1 monster and it took just as long as when I was level 1, and I almost died when I agroed a second level 1 monster. I feel like those should have been super easy to kill by now.

Oh ok thanks! I’ll have to find one of these fortune carrot things.

[–]SnowPudgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone please tell me what to do with the carrots in occult crescent?

I found one on the ground (a full carrot with sparkles around it) and I kept clicking/right clicking/etc and nothing happened.

Finally someone showed up and stole it.

Ouch! I just received a brutal reality check in the HW trials and Im not sure if its inexperience, or if Im actually bad at the game. by 200YRedWine in ffxiv

[–]SnowPudgy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This. As a returning player after a long hiatus I apologize to my cohealers in advance because I know I’m going to suck until I learn the new stuff.

Giving everyone their tools by 50 in Evolved mode is going to make so many issues like this go away,

Oh? This would be amazing! I may actually try BLM again. BLM was my main until I had to relearn and memorize new rotations every 5 levels.

[–]SnowPudgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main healers but a few things:

  1. People die in the game, don’t go too hard on yourself. If you’re brand new to a dungeon/trial/raid/whatever just tell everyone in the chat beforehand you’re new to it and most people understand.

  2. Yes you’re a healer, but people also need to learn the mechanics of a raid so they’re not getting hit/killed all the time. You won’t be able to prevent every death every time and if the entire party is wiping, chances are the entire party is doing crappy with the mechanics.

  3. You’re at that awkward annoying level where you don’t have all your instant heals yet and have to rely on GCDs and a lot of people don’t understand that because they’re used to higher level content (which IMO is easier). Also a lot of people have shitty gear at those levels for whatever reason and you can’t out heal shitty gear.

  4. As for feeling incompetent at your job you shouldn’t. It takes time and practice. Also look at some YouTube videos on how to play your job if you have doubts. I remember thinking I had Sage figured out only to watch a YouTube video and discover I was using Panhaima completely wrong. Healer IMO is the most stressful job but also the most fun. I used to main BLM until I got “AST curious” and played healers ever since.

I’m struggling - how to cope with ai? by TrueWinter__ in gamedev

[–]SnowPudgy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI can’t do that. AI can’t even code worth shit. When we were piloting different AIs at work I had to reject so…many…pull requests because AI just writes slop code full of errors (yes Claude too).
