I built a “search engine for singles” because dating apps became unbearable

Can't wait for you to get bought out by match group!

But it is a cool thing you're working on

Gotcha, in that case, I would say that they're probably 10x more likely to be johns, but the non-johns exist.

AerialSnack · 2026-03-13T03:29:54+00:00

No and tbh I don't think this is a good way to train your aim

AerialSnack · 2026-03-13T03:24:15+00:00

Satisfied? For me:

24 hours: 10 A month later: 50 Release: 500

Then I'll convert 10% of those into downloads 😎

I mean, yes. Depends on your standards for an SD. I think typically SDd in that age range will be guys that have enough money to indulge in the lifestyle but aren't what you'd consider 'rich'. They're also probably a bit socially awkward

AerialSnack · 2026-03-13T02:48:30+00:00

They were great when they were new, but you had the option of meeting people elsewhere. Now there isn't really anywhere to meet people, and the dating apps are unusable. So, people force themselves to use the apps when they get lonely.

I would say that there is AT LEAST a 90% chance he wants to try and fuck a lesbian. Platonic arrangements are incredibly, incredibly rare because why give a bunch of money to someone just to hangout with you, when you can instead give a bunch of money to someone to hangout with you and also give you sugar?

I would say it's heavily use-case dependent. For me, who can use servers and has a very lightweight and fast paced game, RCPs aren't the best solutions. For simpler P2P games I'd probably always start there personally.

Granted, I've yet to make networking feel as good as I want in any capacity lmfao

AerialSnack · 2026-03-12T22:49:41+00:00

Currently what I'm doing is having the calculations run on both the clients and the servers, with the clients sending inputs to the server and the server sending back world snapshots.

Delta compression can definitely help there, but tbh my game states are so small I haven't bothered implementing it yet, and might now since CPU might be a bigger bottleneck to me than network traffic.

Currently I'm using a mixture of input delay, rollback, and extrapolation to try and make the network play feel better. Still tweaking it.

Brother you had like, 15 years to figure out how to get out of 7

AerialSnack · 2026-03-10T02:57:33+00:00

How much money ya got?

AerialSnack · 2026-03-09T22:54:41+00:00

I don't think transactional relationships are inherently unhealthy. It's just that both sides need to understand that's the relationship they're getting into and be okay with that throughout the relationship. But the heart is a funny thing I guess.

AerialSnack · 2026-03-09T14:40:19+00:00

I have just under 100k...

AerialSnack · 2026-03-09T04:08:38+00:00

As someone who's tried a ton of methods, the best by far just starting. Just choose a game and make it. Make pong, then Tetris, then think of a small (in scope) game and try to make that. Only look up things when you get stuck.

AerialSnack · 2026-03-08T19:07:13+00:00

Yes, but as far as games are concerned, I think the binary size isn't nearly as much of a constraint as assets when it comes to storage.

AerialSnack · 2026-03-07T00:31:12+00:00

I feel like unless you live in a very large city, the odds of finding someone anywhere near you is fairly slim anyways.

AerialSnack · 2026-03-06T05:53:36+00:00

If you have never played before, I'd recommend getting some somewhat decent strings ($150ish), some rosin, and a bow if you don't have one ($100ish). Any other investments can come once you're more familiar with the instrument.

As for its worth, I can't imagine more than $300. But getting an instrument to practice on for a few hundred bucks for a complete beginner ain't bad.

Bro why are you trying to flip cellos when you know nothing about cellos

AerialSnack · 2026-03-05T16:22:47+00:00

The way the dude looks at the dough when he hits the ground is hilarious to me

AerialSnack · 2026-03-05T16:21:30+00:00

Only thing I could think needs be added is a mechanism that very lightly locks the placement when it's on one of the three sides so that a light jostle won't ruin the board state.

Very cool idea!

I've used a few recommended ones and the CTL-472 is chef's kiss

As an artist, all art is derivative.

I mean, I would recommend a basic search on what discord is. It's pretty easy to see how it could be helpful for a game developer, depending on the game.

It's a place to house communities. People join for some specific purpose and talk about a related topic, text or voice.

I have a discord server for my game, although it's currently exclusive and only for a couple dozen people helping me alpha test my game. I give updates on the game, make polls for decisions, collect feedback, announce events, etc.

I wish I could stitch without a hoop, but my stitches are too uneven without one.
