For 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?

    For me the swipe controls only work some of the time. Might be dropping some inputs

    It must be really hard to play when you can't swipe. I suggest playing determinism; it should completely eradicate your control issues.

      After clicking nihilism, determinism was my next stop for sure. I didn’t have any expectations that weren’t met!

    Try dualism if you want to experiment with mind control

Took me way too long to realize that you can't die in stoicist snake.

  • fardo 2 years ago

    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.

I have no idea if the people ITT complaining about the mailto link are in on the joke or not but I lol'd.

TFW 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.

Narcissism my favourite, I won't spoil it because it's a delight to find out, that was just fantastic, the whole this was brilliant.

Nice to see I'm not the only one obsessed with Snake. This goes directly in my bookmarks :P

It 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.

On iOS this suddenly wanted to open a page in Mail. You have been warned.

  • cwillu 2 years ago

    Joke 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&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...

      Right. Joke.

        If you think iOS opening mailto: links in the Mail app represents some kind of security breach then I have bad news for you.

        • eurasiantiger 2 years ago

          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.

          • Cederfjard 2 years ago

            That's fair, but if you don't think it's meant as a joke, what do you think the intention is?

            • shadowgovt 2 years ago

              It's a double-joke because the narcissist truly does not care about this category of criticism.

            • eurasiantiger 2 years ago

              How 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 2 years ago

                Your 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.

    Wait, are you Eurasiantiger from reddit?
