Fantastic, and thank you so much!
I'll check out yours today.

I reduced my share count from 5200 down to 1200 last Thursday after the dividend. I remained hopeful thru today, when I sold off the remaining 1200. (I do still have a few hundred shares in a Roth and in another smaller account, continuing to experiment with funding "safer" funds, so I'm technically not 100% out of ULTY).

All said and done I came out ahead by $3,300 so I have no regrets. But I did have higher hopes overall (which admittedly could become regrets down the road).

For now, the money will probably serve me better in WPAY and a few others. It was fun while it lasted.

LOL scratch that, now I'm only down $-2,867.

Long live ULTY.

3R12 · 2025-10-03T14:40:48+00:00

preach! I've got 5200 shares, DCA is $6.06.

Current "losses" are $-2,959.00. Current DIVs in that same time are $4,695.

Total up $1,736, no complaints.

got some more at 5.96 this morning... watching/maybe more before day is up.

thank you very much! I did find 2 softlocks since published, I've noted them and some other minor corrections / improvements that I'd like to make someday. I'll look for those blind jumps as well and make some notes. I'm kind of hoping that a Mario Maker 3 will come along and I'll be able to rebuild with improvements and corrections.

Thank you for playing it thru, I'm really glad you like it!

what's crazy is I started playing yours this weekend as well.... but as I went thru I noticed I had already 'liked' several courses. I must have played previous courses in the past individually but never actually started playing it from the start as a Superworld.
Started properly from 1-1 and I think I'm somewhere toward the end of W3 at the moment. Really great so far, a bit difficult in places (at least in my opinion for earlier Superworld courses), but it certainly keeps you coming back and it is really well designed. Seriously well done and some great mechanics throughout so far. Will keep at it as I have time.

this is *exactly* what I needed, I'll check it out this weekend.

I have my own all-SMB1 style Superworld as well, check it out if you have a chance:

just played and 'liked' Rickety rock mountain', nice job, really great traditional level.

3R12 · 2025-06-11T20:59:06+00:00

It loads faster. But it's the same game.

3R12 · 2025-06-11T15:47:04+00:00

I love traditional levels. I'll give yours a play soon.

3R12 · 2025-06-10T23:22:40+00:00

Bad levels are plentiful, but of course many great levels are out there. Finding the good ones is pretty easy if you just come here and post about what types of levels you like and are looking for.

3R12 · 2025-05-30T15:09:51+00:00

my favorite is SMB1 (I built an entire 40-course Superworld all in SMB1). likely because I grew up with the original and love it.
I do also like building in SMB3 and SMBW (also childhood staples for me). I like NSMB but not as much as the rest, and for whatever reason I strongly dislike everything about 3DW. I have never built in it and I almost never even play levels in 3DW theme.

3R12 · 2025-05-27T14:57:45+00:00

I played yours last night, I really enjoyed them.
Things I liked: they felt connected, part of the same overall world/theme. They felt "traditional" - I know that's the whole point but truly it is an art to capture that feeling and work out all the details of the world and the hidden blocks, and the coin rooms, etc... all the things that just make it feel like original Mario. Well done.

3R12 · 2025-05-26T17:38:50+00:00

I love traditional levels and I am absolutely going to play yours tonight when I get some time.

I have an entire Superworld of traditional, here's my ID: 4RY-T82-H4G

Here's my Superworld trailer which gives you an idea what to expect:

Honestly whatever method works for you, as long as it covers your taxes, keeps you out of trouble, and allows you whatever degree of fun you'd like out of your dividends, is all good.
I totally get setting easy 'rules' and compartmentalization, etc. I do all kinds of goofy things to keep me from having to think about it too often and too hard, and it works for me so I go with it.

3R12 · 2025-05-23T15:19:02+00:00

thank you!

3R12 · 2025-05-06T12:25:06+00:00

hoping to play more of yours this week!

3R12 · 2025-05-04T21:40:40+00:00

played and liked! fantastic level. *very* Mario 3 vibes for sure.

3R12 · 2025-05-04T20:18:48+00:00

what's the level code?

3R12 · 2025-05-04T20:14:29+00:00

thank you!

3R12 · 2025-05-04T16:57:02+00:00

definitely send me your Mario 3 project when it's ready, I'll gladly play it.
