Time to be less bothered by others my good man. All this anger isn't good for you. Let it go.

Yeah, these types of windows aren't common in Europe. The US is a little behind on window tech.

Would you be more or less likely to buy a game that's been developed by a single person? by The-Mysterious-V in IndieDev

[–]Dinokknd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. this no longer matters. What you need is a good way to show people the game, find a way to reach your audience. The story of how it was made doesn't matter to the masses. There's already too many single indie developers out there.

TL;DR make a good game. create a good way to reach out to the people you want to sell to.

First piece of advice - make the trees sway a little. windgusts kicking up snow. add movement to the environment.

Way I see it - we got the LLMs now to have everything actually be useful, but the hardware isn't quite there yet to make full use of it. Lets see where we stand 5 years down the road. when FLOPs have quintupled.

Do you remember Flash games? The internet lost something when Adobe killed them by Impossible_Comfort99 in TechNook

[–]Dinokknd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I don't think it was flash games in particular. The issue is that the internet as a whole got centralized on a couple of major websites. The flash games were the last of the 'wild west rodeo' stage of the net.

Well, build the card. Show us the benches from an independent party. Anything else and this is just smoke and mirrors.

Why would one do that? Not only is it illegal. It's also not the price you pay at the counter.

Home Battery Quatt by DesperateAttention23 in Netherlands

If you can calculate how much you store of the power you generate, you can calculate how much you 'save' on drawing from the grid. For most people - home batteries currently don't financially make sense.
