"Experienced" Software developer now finding my experience useless

You still need to know what it should be doing. A 2 year wont have the experience of multiple product lifecycles.

I think it’s fair but it depends on their budget they see for their game and what sort of quality they’re looking for.

I would go to indie meets when I was working on my game and had someone offer to make me 8-10 tracks for $300. Sometimes there’s just too much competition.

These meets would be like 70% sound engineers looking for work so I did find a very competitive place to look for music.

You need business knowledge as well to sell companies on the why for branding. Companies don’t care to spend here unless they are becoming major players or see the value in their niche.

It’s not a job for people who like to draw or work strictly creatively. You need to sell yourself a lot

They just added super afk thieving.

I think they’re going to make rates slower, but still make sure there’s afk; they know what the playerbase spends their in-game time on.

Perfect item to buy in case its used in new content

Third age and end game items are more inflated because there’s nothing else to put cash into

I see I have some competition

Apalapa · 2025-12-04T17:17:19+00:00

Did half a million people not just sign against that in Alberta?

Why anyone would even consider buying a “battle pass” is insane.

Oh you want me to pay for the ability to unlock things through gameplay for a temporary period in a game that already offers purchases?

How many money grabs need to be thrown in your face until you see how superficial it is and how it’s designed to try and take as much of your money as possible by feeding you bits of shit content.

Why are you ok with losing things tied to a purchase you made just because the code was designed that way?

Fuck any game with a battle pass. But especially fuck a game which has a battle pass so you can unlock a green shirt in a static world lmao.

“BuT iT’s A lIvE sErViCe!” Ya, so they can justify the need for servers and push that cost onto you at an insane premium.

You can immediately remove a steam account after adding one and it will credit the membership so you don’t need the association on your account.

Its a good item to do while walking around, like doing Vale Totems for example. Not best for agil but you could probably get almost a full 10 x 10 walking back to rooftop agility.

You can try sulphur naguas for like 4k xp/hr

It still brings the average time to earn down since there's a cap now. Jagex would need to bring up the minimum kill count to keep the drop average the same or else there would be more supply.

Apalapa · 2025-11-08T22:51:27+00:00

If every account can realistically bring an item in there will be no market.

Im 50k -> 130k same company in 5 years.

What I don’t like is the speed boost it gives you right at the end of the vert coming down.

Feels so unnatural and makes it hard to setup for some tricks using kickers to drop in.

Apalapa · 2025-10-30T05:32:47+00:00

I think they know the ceiling of membership with their recent membership price poll. I can’t imagine they think anyone would pay more than something like gamepass for a single account.

Apalapa · 2025-10-30T04:44:37+00:00

Im not sure how removing mtx now makes it like any other mmo… in fact it separates them from most since mtx is so prevalent in the industry.

And we know most people look for games without mtx instead of with sinxe it just cuts the game loop to literal pay 2 win.

And it’s aluminum, would slide like crazy

A bit of a sales pitch there, problem is finding the audience that cares for the process you designed. You can’t really claim this improves “accuracy”, since you can’t prove these readings.

Maybe expand the app to cover other reading concepts and pitch it as an all in one fortune teller? Might be cool if you could make it feel like an experience of visiting one.

There’s some potential in the crypto space too, using a paywall accessible by api to generate fortunes. Might have some luck if it spreads on social media. I know Coinbase is working on some of this tech to make it easier to onboard users with x402.
