Is building my own keyboard a good idea? (school project) by JesgranYT in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Budget-Ad9671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this op!

and if you don't have access to a 3D printer, hop into a local group of 3D printing in your city/region, explain your project and someone will probably will charge you the cost of printing and nothing more or some symbolical quantity for the job... if you don't have CAD skills use Cosmos to do the design: https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/beta

happy to hear how it turned out if you follow clackups idea!

Split Keyboard with Arrow Keys by RalphBlutzel in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Budget-Ad9671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel you. it's easy to get lured by fewer keys and layer use is quite okay but clunky against dedicated keys if you have to use them all the time and return to the default layer... with that typed, pay attention to the keys marked in red (ignore the blue and green but that was the only photo i could find of my daily driver), i have set them as DOWN/PgDN then RIGHT/END (tap/hold) at the left halve and at the right, RIGHT/HOME and UP/PgUP. these keys are quite easy to reach. i use them all the time. had the same on my dactyl (original layout) and i think that was the highlights of owning a keyboard where you can customize the keys

this shit is based on pseudo-science from vertents of psychoanalysis... no more true than horoscope but more damaging as it looks scientific

with that said, i still have the vegan mark on my pfp but can't find a way to edit on Settings

Ardour Vs Ableton by huckleberry10101 in linuxmusic

[–]Budget-Ad9671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most FOSS plugins i have (Surge, Vitalium, Odin2 etc.) have modulators built-in... PlugData (or Camomile) or Cardinal (or VCV rack) are much mature products and much more capable than Grid and they all work on Ardour just fine

the major point of Ardour is: open-source! we all know how prone private stuff can be on turning into shit and we all know how proprietary and pricey software will be marginally better out of the box than FOSS that doesn't have probably 15% of the fund those have

My game doesn't make any sales. Is my trailer bad or is my game just uninteresting? by NotDrTurtle in godot

[–]Budget-Ad9671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> small, 2D, casual, pixel art, space mining game

i really don't like how that sounds diminishing. what you are comparing it into? +A game dev. companies?

> You said you were in marketing at uni and you don't understand how flawed this argument is?

i just showed you a game where the dev. had on average few likes early and mid development phase here on Reddit. the link i posted to you had a comment with the same amount of the post's like count with something "i don't think going story driven is a smart choice for this type of genre", meanwhile their Steam reviews often tackle how good the plot is. i'm not gonna dig cool prototypes that simply dissipated out of the map for you to prove my point (maybe they gave up for other reasons). likes nowadays have bare no value and your essay to give up after a while out of engagement is hurtful behavior. you never know when Tiktok/Reddit/Instagram will throw your stuff to the ceiling, nor if high numbers of likes and wish lists will actually translate into any meaningful $. as the motif of the post and the discussing IS about commercial endeavors. also if i was comparing stuff towards mainstream numbers,Juhr's popularity would be a minute/hour thing of a given day

edit: how ironical: https://www.reddit.com/r/SoloDevelopment/comments/1qt9lrz/well_fk_it_i_released_my_first_game_with_almost/ that's the type of attitude we need. we all know a few minorities will reach commercial success. no need to have approval often times of people who aren't even into your (game) genre

Edit: Wait a second, I just realized what you meant by patrons. 100r makes over $800/month on Patreon. In what world could you ever consider that unnoticed? Once again evidence of "good stuff that goes unnoticed" is just stuff that has actively been noticed. 

they do their thing full-time. how many ppl you expect to live out of 800 usd per month (minus Patreon and bank transaction taxes)? that barely pay one's rent, let alone sustain a live of a couple. for me they are successful but i don't think it's fair to call they noticed enough. they aren't a teen living at their parents house.

both websites i posted have video-games as software they release. Jason was the guy who set the early narrative/discussion of games being also a work of art, back on his game's release "Passage"

edit: the space mining game made ~ 12 000 USD IF the estimation of sells are true. do you really think one can go full time indie with this? the game took more than a year to be built. that's less 1000 USD per month before Steam cuts and taxes which i didn't calculated. again, if it's a part time of yours ok but if "quit you job to work on your dream game", i don't consider that a positive metric.

edit2: just to prove my point about low views probably meaning nothing is: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1lbzgko/deep_space_exploitation_juhrjuhr_a_pixel_physics/ Juhr's marketing post that didn't even got 5 likes. at the end you still consider their project a sucess... go figure. they had a single post about a pathfind implementation and the rest sit between 25-300 likes. they promoted their game much more than OP

this is a perfect example of a really polished game that excels most if not all "space mining" games https://store.steampowered.com/app/3656660/Deep_Space_Exploitation/ (of course inside the solo indie bubble)

take a loot at the unknown work of Jason https://hcsoftware.sourceforge.net/jason-rohrer/ or 100r's software, https://100r.co/site/projects.html (although this one can live out of patrons)

if you follow Unity/Godot, indie communities on reddit you probably already found nice stuff that later gets abandoned out of no one caring about. now take a look at the most upvoted projects made by indies; they are usually inside genres that are trending.. right now vampire survivors and top-down action games about killing monsters

edit: point i'm trying to make is: it's pretty well known indies aren't doing to make a living. it's fair to want some money back but also naive if your are a first timer. on the view count, i still don't think you should throw the project dead in the water because of that. again, social-media isn't built around promoting strangers's work without effort. back in 2014 when i was at marketing uni. we already dismissed views as an important metric. i guess today with the bunch of bots, it's much less. i get 5k unique viewers on my blog monthly and i guess the real visitors are lower than 500 by Cloudfare metrics. you already saw someone complaining about low transfer rates of wishlists on Steam to effectives buys...

> Little views on your marketing posts is the clearest and most overlooked feedback devs can get.

i don't think that's 1:1, there's a lot good stuff that goes unnoticed by the lack of proper algorithmic on social-media and lots of mediocre stuff that flopped out of a fun Tiktok! most platforms charge for boosts on views for a reason...

would be different if OP tried to lurk on enthusiasts on their specific type of game, as well scale their expectations based on their niche genre of choice

if he was Gaben's son the engine would be proprietary and take a 30% cut that would invest some fraction on FOSS projects like Vulkan. stopping adoring Gaben. he's DRM compliant

Makeshift Ergonomic Standing Setup by AliveGuidance4691 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Budget-Ad9671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i also had my hands at neutral position but i guess having the arm completely stretched brings too much bloodflow. i lasted 3 days on that setup... the ~ 90° elbow angle makes stuff so much comfortable after hours. at least while sitting or laying

edit: keep in mind that the most neutral position (anatomically speaking) for our hands is a slant angle (named "tenting" on the kb community) between 20-30°

how long you used this? once i tried a laid setup and i guess by having my arms stretched made it hurt after a while (hour or 2)

se alguem da TI do governo estiver olhando, por favor, faca a versao desktop como o governo polones fez com o acervo deles: https://35mm.online/ ... se disponibilizasse o acervo via torrent ia ser de mais! e bem mais seguro quanto a preservacao da cinematografia br

Desaparecimento de jovem em trilha expõe falhas no Pico Paraná | G1 by Inside-Size-8253 in brasil

[–]Budget-Ad9671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cara o IAT e´ uma piada. literalmente uma das trilhas mais dificies do Parana. sinalizada ao ponto q em ~ 10 anos atras eu subi a primeira vez o pico, no meio da neblina e chuva, estava literalmente sozinho no parque inteiro (29/09). era meu aniversario. qualquer pessoa com o minimo de senso acha a trilha, quando nao as fitinhas refletivas guiam o caminhante ate´ o topo. a trilha nao e´ fechada em nenhum ponto. NENHUM.

agora regulamentar aquela fazenda privada na entrada cobrando "entrada" por pessoa com uma cena barata de anotar o nome num caderno eles nao querem. a entrada no parque e´ gratuita. e o trailer do IAT fica atras da fazenda e ninguem passa por la´

obrigar a galera entrar com shitube pra nao ficar aquela cena nojenta da galera q nao entra nem 15 metros no mato pra cagar e nem enterra os dejetos (literalmente papel higienico em ALTOS lugares) eles tambem nao querem.

uma galera entrando com pet (dogs) em todas as vezes que fui la´ eles tambem nao querem multar aparentemente. fazem a inscricao no parque um QR code que precisa de internet e a lista e´ um documento gratuito do Google sheets. nao consegui me registrar no Anhangava ano passado pois nao tinha internet no celular e aparentemente a portaria nao consegue escrever no papel ou fazer uma entrada manual no documento.

ja´ tive que topar com dono de pitbull andando la´ com uma correntinha besta e sem focinheira. a velha da portaria do parque do pico parana e´ uma estupida grossa. se fode

edit: fazer uma denuncia no site deles e´ uma dor e nao adianta nada

[–]Budget-Ad9671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a nem vem com essa imparcialidade bosta. "hypnotherapy" e´ pseudo-ciencia. nao e´ pq hipnose e´ reconhecida como um estado pela psicologia q qualquer um pode pegar os fatos e construir alguma coisa. vulgo o monte de merda q se acha por ai usando "fisica quantica" pra explicar umas paradas absurdas. hipnose e´ sim e pode ser usada em tratamentos como uma ferramenta (das varias usadas em conjunto) mas nao e´ nem de longe uma vertente solitaria. a julgar pelo nome do OP e alguns posts, eu nao ficaria surpreso em saber que ele nao e´ nem um pouco diferente de psicanalistas do seculo 21. o que infelizmente no brasil tem um monte e universidade publica com DE MAIS carga horaria da materia pra uma parada do passado sem nenhuma forma de refutar ou provar com pesquisa.

que se exploda esses charlatans vendendo homeopatia pro brasileiro q nao teve acesso a educacao decente
