Overswarm

@amrhsn @RealAstropulse Hey that's what I did! It worked very well.

@RealAstropulse Vibe code a utility to extract the dominant color within the grid cells and convert it to %100 Pixel graph.

Okay lets go over this in detail since some people still don't quite see it. GPT Image 2.0 can make *pixel art looking* images, but not pixel art. Zoomed out its fine, but when you try to put a grid over it, it breaks down fast. This is the closest grid match I could get:

@FictionIRL Every time I see a grounded Luigi at mid% not getting spammed with retreating side-b from marth I die a little inside. My dream is to start seeing people camp the top platform vs. Luigi and go full degen gameplay because he can't fall fast enough to protect himself after jumping

I wanna talk about how to beat Luigi but I also feel similar to the rise of DK where its funnier if everyone gets bodied if they can't figure it out LOL

@barosaros Just remake it with Claude, took me about 30 minutes to set it up on vercel and now I have a cardsort board whenever I want for freeeeee

trello is actually useful guys who would've thought, though I feel like when the free premium whatever runs out I'll be locked out of it or limiting it in some way making it useless

@DanAdvantage How was this done?

i procedurally generated the entire pokemon fire red world map with every single player-traversable location rendered with correct tilesets, transitions/warps, and sprites on a single 10mb, 13184 x 22272 png. it took me 4 prompts and a few minutes.

@brynnakalop Technically this would be a DQ for stalling anyway since it continued well past 300%

Wobbling was never banned

@FreyaHolmer Also I tried to do a tetrisphere thing where there were bombs and I tried doing a tetris thing where you made lines out of the same colors... but I didn't know what to do past that. I had a boundary on all sides that if you touched you died, but I could never make it feel fun

@FreyaHolmer I made something similar a long time ago! My hope was it could be a puzzle game. I tried "make this shape" where it was a 3D puzzle I tried "get more points" for bigger rectangles/squares I tried "you are building a platformer stage, beat it" None worked for me. Good luck!

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

@cleeshlow It was. I started *pre-youtube*. A single pro match was gold, so much so that Ken and Isai trolled the community by saying "Kirby counters sheik because of his d-tilt" and releasing a video of Ken's kirby beating Isai

wonder if it was more fun to compete in early years of melee much before the playerbase being hyperaware of optimization and concepts like "execution tests". like back then some chud would just say he KNEW you were gonna mess up cuz MIND GAMES and you would just have to hold that

@Malkasaur People want to be able to attack the opponent without being interrupted (why people hate fighting Luigi's that can nair out) and be aggressive (why people hate fighting Jiggs). People also want to interrupt opponent combos and punish their approach. Incompatible goals, imo.

i think what i've realized after listening to people talk about r2 and p+ balance is that the ideal platfighter for most people is melee with everyone better than dk banned

@ZainNaghmi Falcon Punch Only completion of the main game on hardest setting B moves only sandbag, in order of relative difficulty: Ganondorf - 500+ feet Game & Watch - 230 feet Marth - 180 feet Dr. Mario - 110 feet Bowser - 150 feet Ice Climbers - 50 feet Falco - 100 feet Fox - 50 feet

DOING A NEW SEGMENT ON STREAM MELEE ACHIEVEMENT HUNTING NEED 5 MELEE SPECIFIC CHALLENGES THAT I MUST COMPLETE BY THE END OF THIS WEEK COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM BEATING ADVENTURE MODE ON VERY HARD TO WINNING 10 MATCHES IN A ROW WITH BOWSER GIVE ME YOUR BEST IDEAS

@RealAstropulse Explain how o_o

Got bored, made a couple hundred tiny monsters with Retro Diffusion. Maybe I'll stick them in a game sometime.

@Grandero_Pixels You interested in working on any new projects?

Hello! A bit late, but here's my #PortfolioDay ✨ I do #pixelart for games!

@emollick Do you have any good resources for building skills?

I guarantee that any industry expert, with a little time and effort, can make a better (or at least more focused) skill than the default Anthropic ones. This is not an insult to Anthropic, it just is a reminder that specialist experts know more about their jobs than AI labs do.

@FictionIRL @Metal_Militia_ Fiction gets it. I beat people by cheesing constantly and it was their fault for getting in that situation to begin with. If captain falcon doesn't wanna be off stage he shouldn't play near the ledge.

@Metal_Militia_ You gotta reframe it that the majority of important skill in the game is working around those moves. If you get really good at working around them and avoiding them you just beat most people

Melee players when do you stop getting 'Everyone is a lame cheeser I am the only honest character' syndrome because I'm 4 months in and every Fox shine spike, Peach down smash, Puff up throw Rest and Marth down tilt at ledge still makes me want to put my face through my monitor

@emollick I've spent the past year talking to faculty and staff about the "human in the loop". Now most situations the human is the weak link AND a bottleneck. It is a weird, weird world now.

I don't think "judgement" is going to prove to be the bright line between human and AI work that people seem to expect it to be.

@Blukulele This looks like a fun game. I do have to say I am a bit concerned with how often indie games are resorting to "flash in the pan" type gameplay. There are more and more of these gambling-style "get lucky" games that just move fast to keep dopamine hits coming in...

Stop everything you're doing and go buy Slots & Daggers right now! A highly polished and insanely fun game for the price of a good sandwich! What are you still doing reading this??

@emollick The question I struggle with: if the average AI hits a general intelligence level for most tasks above a certain % of people, what do we do with those people? What if AI ends up being 50th percentile or greater? Not even superintelligence, just "oh, it can do that".

Talking about the ethics of AI companies or personalities, or discussing the potential of financial bubbles, can be valuable, but it isn't really what I mean AI capabilities are real, they are here to stay, & we need to move the discussion to thinking more about what this means

I hope as we move past the first wave of AI criticism ("it doesn't work, all hype") we get a new wave of AI criticism rooted in the fact that these systems are very powerful & quite useful and focusing a deep exploration of when AI uses are uplifting and when they are detrimental

@emollick Is it a security thing? Back when they were doing their red teaming contest I got past a few of the barriers solely by polluting a full context window. Claude would spout some nonsense and "fill in the gaps", so you could get around its walls. If I caused this I apologize

Claude's unwillingness to continue conversations after the context window is full is very frustrating. I am okay losing early context if I am working interactively on a project & making progress, I am not okay with suddenly being cut off and being forced to start a new chat.

@junkyard_dave The fact that "Don't blame me. Blame yourself or God." is removed is rough

Thanks for hanging out. :) Super conflicted - never streamed a RPG before, but this one is my favourite of all-time. Lots of QoL improvements and the voice acting is pretty S tier, but I wish they didn't use the War of the Lions script.

@Twitch @TwitchSupport You guys banned me for "fake engagment" I'm in the middle of my subathon I have been stream on twitch for 10+ years and partner for 6+ I follow all the rules this is a huge mistake can you please fix this!
