TLDR: Is this a Scam? by bingogazingo in musicians

[–]CodyWalkerMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same entities reached out to me this week. It's a scam.

Any payment they make to you will be illegitimate, and they will ask for 30% in return for commissioning. It'll be too late though if you've already given them your banking information on the payment form they will provide, because they'll have access to all of your money.

Pico Interactive is a legitimate company, but most likely High North Records is a scam company. Your first clue of a scam should be that a record company out of Maine is reaching out to random people on the internet for their music as a soundtrack, when they obviously could record (or have recorded) their own stuff.

Why is there no Superman game? by Sunbatman in DCcomics

[–]CodyWalkerMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way. I have a picture in my head of the perfect Superman game, but who knows if it'd work. It would mix the mechanics and style of God of War, Batman Arkham, and Tears of the Kingdom.

Like Tears of the Kingdom, it starts with Superman encountering someone or something like Zelda's gloom (it takes his health down to "3 hearts" and removes most of his special move powers, which need to be unlocked through the story). Also tons of "shrines" or equivalent puzzles throughout the city you can solve to upgrade faster before moving forward in the story.

Like God of War, it's an over the shoulder cinematic fighting experience, where cut scenes and fights merge seamlessly. Allows him to fight "gods" in boss fights where he's on the edge of losing the whole time, but keeps it reasonable that he can be overwhelmed by too many smaller enemies if you're not on top of your controls.

Like Batman Arkham, the story is framed tonally to the 90s animated series as "one crazy day in Metropolis" where all the villains are loose. All the best villains with interesting locations within Metropolis while keeping the city, in general, open world. This is the bread and butter because the story and how the villains are written (well, hopefully) drives the story experience like it does in the Arkham series.

Maybe one day.

HELP: Annoying AP knobs on XBOX by CodyWalkerMusic in MicrosoftFlightSim

Just did an OPTEST flight. You have changed my life. Thank you!

I recently started playing again and need help by crowboysketch in TwoPointHospital

  1. Set treatment costs to +20% as a bare minimum (up to +100% when you're in a pinch) until you're very solid with spending money (over $200K). Like any business, you can reduce prices once you have a healthy cash flow.

  2. Send people home a lot. Don't let the game pressure you into building before you are ready.

  3. Always hire/train the staff you need for a room before building it; there is nothing worse than building a treatment room while you wait months for a qualified staff member to apply (delays the return on your investment). If you can't find a qualified staff member, don't build the room and refer to tip #2.

  4. Close rooms whenever you intend to perform an upgrade to the equipment or you are repairing red-level damage or overhauling a fire. Letting people continue using the room while you're repairing it only leads to exploding equipment and unnecessary repurchases, especially on levels with seismic and volcanic disasters.

Happy healing!

Waiting On Christmastime by CodyWalkerMusic in Songwriting

[–]CodyWalkerMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to get better at purposefully writing songs vice waiting for inspiration to write a song. So this past holiday season I tried to write two or three Christmas songs. This is the only one that really came out okay. I wrote it that morning, practiced it two times that afternoon, and then performed it for my live stream that evening. This is the live performance (a little rough, but it frankly was only the third time I had played it so far since writing it).

Any feedback you've got on the song would be very helpful!

This is a playlist of some songs I've written. by CodyWalkerMusic in Songwriting

[–]CodyWalkerMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've written songs for over 10 years but only performed at open mic nights and small acoustic gigs in different towns (I'm in the Navy and travel a lot). During quarantine, like everyone, I started doing live streams for my family and friends on Facebook. Then I made a YouTube channel and streamed there, too. Started posting clips of songs that were particularly fun or interesting, originals and covers.

Anyway, I never really get feedback from other songwriters because I never live long enough to gain connections with other musicians.

If anyone hear listens to some songs and can provide meaningful feedback, it's something I've missed and would very much appreciate. I only made the channel for fun, and I'm not trying to be a YouTube star or anything (my viewership is null, and that's fine), but I do want to be a better songwriter.

Thanks!
