#22Anyone able to beat my 10K on casualism?
I can do it in optimism :)
Re: Snakisms
#23It was interesting until it auto-opened a mail window somehow without me pressing on anything obviously, and the email had a subject of "I love your work!" to the developer. Man, do I not like that sort of site behavior.
This is the "narcissism" snake. That is expected behavior.

#24On iOS this suddenly wanted to open a page in Mail. You have been warned.
Wait, are you Eurasiantiger from reddit?

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
If an application developer expects people NOT to react defensively to automatically launched external applications, they are deluded. That link does not open from a user-initiated event, even if it technically does.
That's fair, but if you don't think it's meant as a joke, what do you think the intention is?
It's a double-joke because the narcissist truly does not care about this category of criticism.

Re: Snakisms
#29Took me way too long to realize that you can't die in stoicist snake.
You can instead enjoy the horror of creating a situation in which despite not losing, there is no valid direction of motion, so your immortal snake is forever trapped in a prison of its own making.
The true winning state is to understand that it's up to you to decide whether to feel neither horror nor comfort in that realization.
