Snakisms
- eliasffyksen 4y agoNice to see I'm not the only one obsessed with Snake. This goes directly in my bookmarks :P
- lobstrosity420 4y agoI have no idea if the people ITT complaining about the mailto link are in on the joke or not but I lol'd.
- __MatrixMan__ 4y agoNarcissism is my favorite. I lol'd.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoOn iOS this suddenly wanted to open a page in Mail. You have been warned.

- cwillu 4y agoJoke explainer: Narcissism mode attempts to send an email to the author when you score a point: “https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?fs=1&tf=cm&source=mailto&su=I+love+your+work!&to=pippin.barr@gmail.com&body=I+wanted+to+take+a+couple+of+minutes+to+write+you+an+email+about+how+much+I+respect+and+appreciate+your+work...” https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?fs=1&tf=cm&source=mailto&s... Subject: I+love+your+work to: pippin.barr@gmail.com body: I+wanted+to+take+a+couple+of+minutes+to+write+you+an+email+about+how+much+I+respect+and+appreciate+your+work...
- eurasiantiger 4y agoRight. Joke.
- bgun 4y agoIf you think iOS opening mailto: links in the Mail app represents some kind of security breach then I have bad news for you.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoIf 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.
- Cederfjard 4y agoThat's fair, but if you don't think it's meant as a joke, what do you think the intention is?
- shadowgovt 4y agoIt's a double-joke because the narcissist truly does not care about this category of criticism.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoHow did you come to the conclusion that I don’t think it’s meant as a joke, after having that openly explained to me on a public forum? That kind of mind-reading is right next to gaslighting on the dark triad trait list.
- Cederfjard 4y agoYour direct response to the person explaining that it was a joke was literally ”Right. Joke.” Was that not sarcasm? While we’re handing out psych evaluations, you seem oddly keen on finding malice in the behavior of others.

- viridian 4y agoWait, are you Eurasiantiger from reddit?
- eyelidlessness 4y agoFor the views which state “swipes control snake”, is it part of the gag that by and large swipes do nothing? Or is that because I was too hasty loading nihilism?
- cwillu 4y agoTry dualism if you want to experiment with mind control
- dgoldstein0 4y agoFor me the swipe controls only work some of the time. Might be dropping some inputs
- JoshCole 4y agoIt must be really hard to play when you can't swipe. I suggest playing determinism; it should completely eradicate your control issues.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoAfter clicking nihilism, determinism was my next stop for sure. I didn’t have any expectations that weren’t met!
- GRBLDeveloped 4y agoAnyone able to beat my 10K on casualism?
- lobstrosity420 4y agoI can do it in optimism :)
- lrpe 4y agoTook me way too long to realize that you can't die in stoicist snake.
- fardo 4y agoYou 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.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoThe true winning state is to understand that it's up to you to decide whether to feel neither horror nor comfort in that realization.
- cbanek 4y agoTFW you read this as snackisms and was confused for like, a full minute. Then you realize it's snake-isms, and finally get the joke and laugh for a full minute. What a day. Love this.
- idk1 4y agoNarcissism my favourite, I won't spoil it because it's a delight to find out, that was just fantastic, the whole this was brilliant.
- smitty1e 4y agoWorst python article ever.
- jb1991 4y agoIt 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.
- blendergeek 4y agoThis is the "narcissism" snake. That is expected behavior.
- camtarn 4y agoVery much amused by Nihilism.
- sAbakumoff 4y agoI wish it had the "Buddhism" mode.
