Really nice. Cool mechanic. I wish it was a little bit harder, though. At 2000m, I just sort of got bored, because the weapon was so powered up that all of the enemies died instantly.

Browsers make terrible operating systems. People live in their browsers because they have to, not because they want to.
Two things that immediately jumped out at me:
1. 40% of the posts/comments in all of 2024 came from accounts created IN 2024. There are a LOT of new people on HN.
2. The most commented post of the year was a news article about Donald Trump's election victory, so TV news-esque content is definitely getting more traction than expected.
Two pieces of game-related feedback:
1. The B button doesn't do anything at all, as far as I can tell. I think it would make sense in the puzzle screen if the B rotated through the hole/grass/ghost cycle in the opposite direction.
2. It would be cool if you added some kind of level code system so you didn't have to start over each time the game resets. One code for each world is probably sufficient (don't have to have one for each puzzle, necessarily). Without this, the game is locked purely in emulator mode, because I don't see someone sitting through 700 levels in a single playthrough otherwise.
Not-game related, but it would also be cool to create some "box art" for this, if for no other reason than having the game look pretty in an emulator list.
Anyway, it's in my library now, and probably worth coming back to from time to time!
Edit: I recognize that I may very well be in the minority, but when I use search, I am looking for sources, not answers. Everything Google has done to get in the way between me and the people who have the information I want has been a net negative from my perspective.
The interjection of AI here is just doing more of that.
Precipitation frequency should also be considered. For example, Seattle is considered a "rainy" city, because it rains so often, not because it rains so much.
Likelihood of major weather events is also a factor for a lot of people. I'm not a fan or tornadoes and hurricanes, so I'd prefer to live far away from places where those things have a reasonable chance of occurring.
I worked over the phone tech support for a few years about 20 years ago, and it really opened my eyes to how far the gap is between the tech literate and everyday computer users.
I think this guide is terrific, for what it's worth. I just also think there's a lot more people out there that this guide SHOULD help, that it won't, because of that fundamental gap.
Step 1 starts with:
> Pick a location on your computer and create a folder. Call it my-site or something similar.
You've already lost the vast majority of people right here. There are a shockingly large number of people out there that use computers EVERY day that won't know how to do this.
This is a dark pattern, right? "Trust me, bro," isn't what I would call reliable marketing. Of course Chrome wants people to use technology without understanding it. Then they won't ask pesky questions like, "where did this data come from?" or "how much of my activity are you tracking to make this work?"
The Arc browser, which I've been using since they launched, has a very similar feature available. It's an AI summary of the target link, rather than a render preview, though, but it accomplishes the same task.
Being able to create a new chat to correct from a polluted context is a feature, not a bug.
But there are some cases where shared context can be valuable - so I'd like to be able say "Hey, use the context(s) I select for this conversation," and not have it be an all or nothing kind of thing.
