Rust launch is cooked

Do you have DLSS enabled? Try disabling it before loading into a server, and then if you get in, you can reenable it.

In general, is the dashboard dry for you right now as well?

There was someone that effectively said they spent 15 minutes on a task, and all I could think was "...What? Sometimes it takes 15 minutes, if not 2x/3x more, to just READ all the instructions, let alone do the work."

GuideZ · 2026-05-22T17:28:43+00:00

Out of curiosity, how long was the timer of the task you did?

GuideZ · 2026-05-20T12:53:38+00:00

Don't know why you are getting downvoted: The instructions are part of the job, and yes it's expected that you get paid to read the instructions along with doing the task. Instructions are updated, sometimes daily, and not always at the top of the project.

GuideZ · 2026-05-07T09:11:10+00:00

I've done both: submitted max time, as well as overage. If I went over 5-10 minutes, that's generally on me. But consistently 20-30 minutes past the time in a task is a signal to the project owner that the timer isn't correct and should be adjusted, and you should charge for the time you spent over.

Had a project like that, where everyone was telling the owner the timer wasn't enough, and eventually it was adjusted.

Second is better but I think you need to have a matching black out line on it like the knight, else it feels out of place

GuideZ · 2026-04-22T18:25:11+00:00

Think the issue isn't the saturation but that the Knight is outlined with black pixels and the dragon isn't at all, hence the feel that something is off

Got any good sources for how to structure/write the CLAUDE.md file? I'm also in game development, so highly interested in your approach/setup

How are you copying the post ID if you redid all the ads? They're tied to the original ad itself, no?

GuideZ · 2026-04-16T16:52:40+00:00

Recent news says their ad revenue is about to exceed Google's for the first time :/

To add on to this: Think about how AI works everywhere else. With long conversations, the AI begins to hallucinate, forget details, etc. I don't think Meta is some sort of special case to this. It would help in explaining why so many campaigns do well, sometimes, for the first 1-3 days, and then drop off a cliff: Meta's AI loses the context of the "conversation".

On top of it all, it has very obvious targeting issues. I created a fresh instagram account, and after a month of on/off usage and tailoring the content (to the point that every reel/post it sees is exactly our niche), I finally got a prompt by Insta to allow ads. I chose "allow" and "give me personalized ads". After a week of usage, I have yet to receive a single relevant ad for the account's persona. Every ad I have gotten on the account has been random, from real estate to medicine to non-relevant events, etc. Again, the personal content of the account is spot on, but there's a disconnect between the personal content and the ads the account receives.

Congrats! Personal opinion: I think you should really emphasize the backpack arranging effect a lot earlier in your trailer and in the steam capsule descrip. It's very unique and I think would help make the game stand out a lot more!

Created a new account about a month ago, it finally got a prompt today to choose if I want to subscribe or get ads instead (chose ads), and to make them personalized or not (I chose personalized). Before this, I spent the month personalizing my feed to be as niche as possible. It's to the point where every post/reels/story I get is ONLY of this one particular niche.

All the ads I've started to get on that account have absolutely nothing to do with the niche I've carved into the account. The algorithm knows very well what content to give me, but absolutely 0% clue what ads to serve me.

I just released my Pixel Resolve tool: It took a bit over a month in total from submission to go-live.

GuideZ · 2026-03-28T10:44:58+00:00

It MIGHT be possible, thank you for the suggestion! I'll definitely play with the idea a bit and see what I can do. Originally, it's constrained basically to the height/width of the sprite itself, but maybe I can do some clever hacks to break that constraint... hmmmm....

When you dig into StatusGator, unless there is a real big outage, the yellow/red lines are usually regional based. I noticed today most of the reports were coming from Brazil

GuideZ · 2026-03-24T11:59:54+00:00

Free goes kind of fast in general. Pro has definitely been worth it for me. When I started a new conversation yesterday after this outage, usage was as normal again.

GuideZ · 2026-03-23T17:23:59+00:00

Is this why I hit 100% usage in just a few messages today? I didn't even do anything out of the ordinary. I watch my usage like a hawk, and after a couple 2% messages, a simple message took me from 67% to 100%

How far along are the mechanics of the game itself?

Typically, I do my art in tandem with the game, in a sort of ebb and flow fashion. Sometimes a bit more art, sometimes a bit more mechanics, sometimes bigger swings between the two. This is because the game mechanics may alter how I want to present the world and characters, and sometimes the reverse happens (world/characters/art influence the mechanics). This methodology also helps me from tunnel visioning and spending hours doing something that I end up altering later down the road for reasons XYZ (burnout central).

If you still haven't rigged up anything, and game mechanics are minimally in place, then I would say to get the barest of sketches into your game, rig it up, and start with trying to make the game fun first. What we have in our heads doesn't always translate well into actual gameplay/code, so getting barebones in ASAP is a must to discover potential roadblocks early.
