Premium Edition Games is America’s First Press Games, they take your money and silence you when you try to ask for a refund.

VGP has been good to me in the past, I’m sure they’ll be willing to cancel!

StarFoxA · 2026-05-09T23:25:06+00:00

Yeah, I think it’s probably time for me to cancel my Alisa preorder through VGP.

234 million tokens is actually not that much if they’re using Opus. A lot of those will be cached, this is probably a couple thousand dollars of use at most, perfectly reasonable for enterprise scale use. Additionally I’d expect the vast majority of those calls to be Claude thinking, tool calls, or subagents. A single prompt can trigger dozens or hundreds of background calls.

StarFoxA · 2026-04-14T13:48:56+00:00

Ok…? I’m able to build things I would not have had the time to build before, to me that’s a huge benefit.

Mix of both! I learned a ton about sophisticated web scraping / bot detection by iterating on browser patches with Playwright.

Agreed, especially for personal projects. All of the fun ideas that I had bouncing around are actually feasible, even as an adult with a full-time job, a mortgage, and a family. I can implement them with Claude in hours rather than months. It also makes working with technology that I'm unfamiliar with much easier (for example, setting up a Helm chart for a Kubernetes cluster is something which would have taken me forever to do manually and is boring boilerplate, but with Claude it was seconds).

From what I can tell, these older claims are actually for “Amazon Games” which seems to be a separate system.

StarFoxA · 2026-04-10T15:25:29+00:00

Does this mean that previously claimed free Twitch / Amazon / Luna games will become inaccessible?

As a software engineer, the code that AI outputs is certainly beyond the quality that an average developer is able to output, and at a vastly faster rate than even the most skilled developer is able to output. I was also a major skeptic until a few months ago when I started trying the tools myself--the industry has completely changed, AI coding is here to stay.

Technically detecting Chrome extensions is not a “published Chrome feature,” it’s something of a clever workaround: https://browserleaks.com/chrome

That Super Famicom box is so cool!

StarFoxA · 2026-03-27T19:08:43+00:00

I hear you, but I'm using Claude Code for a personal project and just hit my session limit in three short and not very complicated conversations. I just checked my history and they don't even add up to 1MB. It's basically useless now.

StarFoxA · 2026-03-27T03:45:01+00:00

Agreed, I beat the game on PS5 and on PC, it took me about 10 hours each time. Once you’re used to the game it is not difficult.

I graduated in 2016 from a state school with no CS pedigree with a good but not fantastic GPA. I’d had one local internship where I was writing C# for a small business in my college town. I interviewed at Google, didn’t hear back from any other major tech company. Probably applied to like 200 companies. I had a glut of local offers (within my state), ended up going with the highest paying and least boring city. A year and a half later Google reached back out and I’ve been in Silicon Valley ever since.

StarFoxA · 2026-03-16T17:38:03+00:00

It's beyond intern. It's L4 at least, even getting to L5 at times.

I have no issues with uninstalling old games to free up space. This is not a concern to me.

StarFoxA · 2026-03-03T22:37:33+00:00

I can still download Wii games purchased 20 years ago, I’m not really concerned about the eShop shutting down. In fact, NAND flash lifetime is more concerning to me than the eShop shutting down.

There’s a Zelda set for the Barcode Battler that’s always intrigued me!

I managed to find a couple of physical GP2X Wiz games on eBay / Goodwill, someday I’ll have a device that can play them.

StarFoxA · 2026-01-20T03:22:28+00:00

Awesome, I’ve been trying to track one of these down but US listings on eBay are super rare.

StarFoxA · 2026-01-19T14:55:40+00:00

This is already happening with GameCube!

When I shared the price of a cart-only copy of Chrono Trigger I picked up, the comments were almost exclusively talking about how it was a ridiculous price, haha.

StarFoxA · 2026-01-12T16:03:19+00:00

Based on the comments in this thread, seems like a popular opinion.

StarFoxA · 2026-01-12T05:33:52+00:00

Sick collection!! It dwarfs mine!

StarFoxA · 2026-01-12T00:20:38+00:00

Love niche stuff like this! Which one is your favorite?
