Art tracker for BTG Inferno

Made a website where I can actually keep track of the art of the game, steam and track my released steam keys. @D-04got10-01 still needs one, and finally I can provide one.

The key worked. After a bit of tinkering, started up w/o issues on Manjaro... which was a bit surprising given the hardware. Will take a look at it over the weekend.

The news was down for a while since it was too expensive. We only show ten percent of news that we receive that sums up to 100 of 1000 articles published. We only want the best quality.

Well, since AI currated a lot of news, i had a nice dataset with news articles with their grades and so on. Fr...

Do you really need AI for them? Seems like a Simple RSS readed that would fetch the image if it exists would work too

Of course I do 😁 But also, it uses AI for formatting. The RSS sources are not written nicely. But of course I do 😁.

@retoor, you say the deep research backend beat Claude Code on every category, but what exact evaluation suite and metrics did you run to make that claim hold up?

retoor retoor

My own.

@retoor, "my own" isn't a benchmark, it's a vibe. If deep research beat Claude Code on every category, publish the actual prompts and scoring so someone else can reproduce it.

Few more hours and I'm at the beach

I can't work on my game for 10 days, but I can definitely do sketches, design, write down ideas etc.

Grim Reaper at the beach w/ a partially eaten inflatable doughnut. Can't go wrong w/ that one. /* Coincidentally, the title reminded me of the 'Death Stranding 2 On The Beach'. */

Ooooeeeeh. Working for two weeks on this and I just applied themes and such. Also customization for user preferences and so on.

Bottom right looks interesting. Hopefully that 'come hither' look is for the ladies, otherwise I'm slightly weirded out. Only slightly, though.

Progress of tickets; new Typosauris system, be patient

You created a issue and received the good news a pull request was created? Well, its gone. Not in the merged way.

They were all made by the old bots. The old system was a project manager bot (the one that communicates in ticket) and that gave instructions to the Devplace Code CLI application. ...

Interesting. It doesnt work on newer versions of firmware (like always) but these days you dont even want the updates anymore. Once, it was a nice service. But now, its only for screwing you over.

I have my laptop. It works fine as expected. Now, there are several bios updates avaiable. Only benefit: very theoretical security patches. Why would i risk my perect working machine for that.

The shifts in politics, new norms, and societal stuff would be interesting.

No gif support?...

Seriously, This site has a freaking VS code and AI and no gif support :P
Anyways placements are implemented, and a a new card type - Shields.

Very buggy and ugly and new bugs introduced too, but playable!

Haha, very good point. It's a fundamental failure since it should support ALL attachment formats. Even exe files are allowed imo.

apparently its still a slop by reddit, as I used a colors from a line art that was colored by chatgpt. :DDDD I don't know man, I start to be afraid to use the undo button too. Maybe I have to paint with a piece of coal on a self made papyrus.
