This is a HN meme paired with a comedic reddit meme. We should be aware that it is this kind of content (+1 funny) that degraded /. and defines reddit. HN has not been and, I believe, should not be the place for this.

Get over yourself and get a sense of humor.

12440, is that good?

AFAICT, the "derp" dog means you won, aka reached 2048. With a score that high, you probably had a derp, although you may not have. My personal best is over 53000 on the conventional game, well past 4096. I highly recommend not letting yourself get sucked in any deeper, though. With a score of 12440 you probably have a solid strategy, so it's probably more luck that lets me get as high as I did.

In the standard game, 20000+ is roughly when you've won (got a 2048).

A little bit of humour is good. The problem is that if a little bit of humour is tolerated, it becomes more acceptable to submit and upvote, so a little bit of humour turns into a lot of humour. This could start to significantly displace "real" content. I would expect PG to step in well before this becomes a problem, so I have no qualms upvoting things like this on rare occasions.

I got a derp on this game at 9000. So derp (the top of the table), must mean "1024". In which case I take back my comment. It's possible to reach 1024 with a strategy only slightly little better than random shuffling.

Has anybody combined two derps to see what happens when the list & images run out?

I think it's too late. Ideally I would take your comment seriously and reply intelligently but all I can do now is laugh at the cute doge. we're all doomed. Also I think the psychedelic colors are ruining my brain.

Is it easier than the regular 2048? Seems that just pressing the directional arrows in a simple pattern[0] will keep the game going for a long while. At least that was my experience.
