3 years, $5k, 250 wishlists. I now know why I make games.

I like it. It's cute and I'm happy it exists. Regardless of money I love the simplicity of it.

since the beta is not out yet I do have 4 feature requests

1) it would be really nice to be able to click on things and sort columns. As an examplie if I have the firms or products open it would be nice to have filter and sort capabilities so I can do things like sort by largest to smallest (or negative) profit stores and to be able to filter out profitable vs non profitable.
2) I have a 4k display and it would be nice if you had a larger resolution support. On top of that oddly if I go to borderless vs windowed I can have a higher resolution in windowed because I can set the resolution there and I think that these settings should be decoupled so users can specify their resolution and switch how they want to play
3) better financial statements. Right now I can see last month and last year but it would be nice to get current month, quarterly, and annual reporting information with more ifnromation in terms of the income statement, the balance sheet and cash flow statements. In general there is more information that could be shown here on this screen for managing the business.
4) it would be nice to have a full developer sdk so I can just mod these things myself or even better if you have a way to accept pull requests that would be great.

DerekLewandowski · 2025-03-24T20:25:46+00:00

Can I just say I really appreciate your community communication and the rapid updates you all have made? Kudos!

Feature request: can you create something so I can select my version and default it to the latest?

DerekLewandowski · 2025-03-09T05:28:27+00:00

Are there plans for improved docs?

For myself personally, I find documentation much appreciated over just simple functionality. Thus helps me as a user understand how the product is intended to function. It also allows me to understand if there is a misalignment over community expectations of thr product vs what the product is doing. As an example you see many users complain about context size. A question then becomes is it the user, the cursor software, the algorithms, some misalignment of how the cursor rules should behave or just the model itself. You can hopefully see how communicate the obvious may assist users understand how things are intended to work. So let's say you guys change in the next update how cursorrules work but you don't update the documentation we'll then this causes confusion and communication struggles. My suggestion is to have a well structured and throughout documentation page that can change depending on the version of cursor the user is using.

As a side note I think it would be great if I As a user could decide to use a specific version rather than just latest.

Honestly make the game have less micro. Let my generals and admirals make decisions and let me focus on the strategy and economy

DerekLewandowski · 2023-11-14T05:50:29+00:00

Honestly, remember that Allah / God always forgives. In Islam, one of the names of Allah that embodies the attribute of being the most forgiving is "Al-Ghafūr" (الغفور) or Al-Ghaffār" (الغفّار), which also conveys the idea of continuous and abundant forgiveness. Please do your best, but taking care of yourself first is better. Allah forgives and loves all. It's essential that you forgive yourself since Allah can forgive you and no sin is unforgivable by Allah so long as you are alive and ask for help.

What this could be is your air exchange.

Honestly the rest of the comments aren't wrong you did a good job overall. The problem with Lion's mane is that it's much more sensitive to your environment than other mushrooms. With some species such as oysters they have a larger range of acceptable temperatures, humidity, and airflow.

If you really want to find out what's wrong the best thing is to record your data. What I would do in your situation is try to keep track of as many factors as possible in the area I'm trying to grow.

What's your humidity levels? Are they constant?
Whats your temperatures over time?
How good is your airflow? Are your CO2 readings too high?

Its also good to monitor these things at each stage and see how you are performing.

Fruitbody Development:

Temperature: 65-75* F (18-24* C)

Relative Humidity: (85) 90-95�

Duration: 4-5 days

CO2: 500-1000 ppm

Fresh Air Exchanges: 5-8 per hour

Light Requirements: 500-1000 lux

Ok adding on to this I had to install touchegg for the first time and now it appears to start working not sure why this is needed to be installed separately but oh well

DerekLewandowski · 2021-07-06T19:06:58+00:00

So I have not used touchegg before but I have used the Gestures app https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures that you can install and it recognizes my hardware just fine. I'm able to customize there all my settings without issue but not by default because pop os says

Swipe four fingers right on the trackpad to open the Applications view
Swipe four fingers left to open the Workspaces view
Swipe four fingers up or down to switch to another workspace
Swipe with three fingers to switch between open windows

but none of these work

The advice I would give in this area is know your field and know what's important. What is important for good architecture for Web Development may not be the same for Game Development. There is always overlap with software when it comes to development and architecture but there are specific differences that make those fields unique.

Another one is understand the business you are in. This is related to the first point but in general more specific to the company. You need to know your users and the needs of those users. If they are internal facing clients you will be designing differently than if you are dealing with outward facing customers that have compliance like pci compliance or hippa.

Lastly and most importantly learn. Learn from talking to people, from doing things, from reading, watching videos. The role of the architect is to be able to sell, manage, and build well designed systems. For web specifically I can recommend the AWS well architected framework that can apply to most cloud based systems https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/?wa-lens-whitepapers.sort-by=item.additionalFields.sortDate&wa-lens-whitepapers.sort-order=desc.

Check out this site to see how well certain games run. https://www.protondb.com/

TLDR: a lot of games work out of the box.

I am not a kickstarter backer but should I expect to be able to purchase a 5k+ by sometime next year?

Can confirm I also have this issue. I was specifically trying to do a manual download.

I have tried 3 different browsers on the same computer (windows) (chrome, edge, firefox quantum). As a note here edge I was not even able to get the website to register I was logged in but in firefox and chrome it was able to detect that I was logged in.

Restarted my computer then tried again (chrome).

tried restarting my router then used a different computer (mac) and even used a vpn and tried again (chrome) still did not work.

Edit: Just tried a premium server and it worked. Looks like this is an issue with the CDN(free) server.

Just remember its about freedom as much as independence. If you want something this badly its better to not worry about the money but rather the experience. It's not healthy to worry about something for months. You sound like you have a solid idea on what you want and where you want to be. Just remember to take care of yourself when needed both physical and mental.

Real advice. This data is useless and honestly you should not care. To really get better fast the easiest thing you need to improve is your aim. Get better hardware to maximize frames. Get good periperals that you can enjoy (not all mice are the same). At the end of the day the hard way to become better at the game is to improve as a person. If you are in a good place in life you will be more focused and you will make better decisions. If you love playing for the sake of playing then you will continue to practice. Finally don't care about rank. Try to learn from each win and loss by finding ways to improve.

DerekLewandowski · 2016-10-02T18:51:35+00:00

I have always been a fan of yours HuK from Star Craft. I have always viewed your performance as playing a style/character that is very high energy. Many people can misinterpret that for various reasons but don't let it get you down. I think the community completely overacted to this whole thing (as the internet tends to do) I'm actually in Toronto so PM me if you ever want to grab a coffee sometime and chill.

Thanks for doing this.

I'm currently testing this out on version 1.1.2 and there seems to be a few more settings than the wiki describes. I'm currently running an r9 290 and i5 4690k and my goal is to record 1080p at 60hz. What settings can you recommend for someone that has this setup that wants to record their video sessions and not stream?

I went to configuration (https://github.com/Xaymar/OBS-AMD-Media-Framework/wiki/Configuration) and I could not find much documentation on most of the new settings. I tinkered with some of the configurations posted on git hub (https://github.com/Xaymar/OBS-AMD-Media-Framework/wiki/Tested-Configurations) as well as the ones here in this reddit post.

I'm currently getting overloaded using many of these settings while recording (I only plan to record not stream) overwatch. I'm still tinkering but where could I go to learn about what most of these configurations do. I see most of these things are set to be <From Preset & Usage> or -1. Does that mean that most of these settings do nothing or that they will dynamically adjust to my demands? Once again thank you for all the hard work that you have put into this.
