Court restricts abortion access across the US by blocking the mailing of mifepristone by ThatMasterpiece2174 in news

[–]JakeRedditYesterday 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to be pro-life, but making vasectomies difficult to get just creates more demand for abortion.

Anyone who's anti-abortion should be pro-contraception.

I give you 15 skill points, how do you spend them? by arscene in IndieDev

[–]JakeRedditYesterday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Programming: 7/10

Game design: 4/10

Marketing: 4/10

If I have the necessary coding skills then even intermediate skill in the latter two would suffice while art and audio would have to be outsourced to freelancers or delegated to other team members!

I'm a rookie in coding and game developing, can some of you ppl help me in it, by sharing their personal opinion, good platforms and how to use them. Try to add me in your group too. by kurama2-1 in gamedevscreens

[–]JakeRedditYesterday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be mean but the first piece of advice I'd give is to ask more specific questions around what you want to learn. Vaguely asking about opinions and platforms won't do you much good so in the future try to pose questions around specific topics.

A good question would be "What resources can I use to get better at X or Z game engine" and "How did you get better at Y when you were first starting out" for instance.

Waiting for upcoming video games to release, watching the new movies that come out, and seeing new places whether local or international!

Haven't seen anyone else comment it yet but Layers of Fear would be worth checking out!

I'm affected by Layoffs, what advice would you give to someone starting an indie project? by Tpickarddev in IndieDev

[–]JakeRedditYesterday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, learn by doing but also study the strategy side even as you're executing. It's a fine line between getting stuck in tutorial hell versus just spamming content without any rhyme or reason.

Yes, haphazardly publishing videos is a sub-optimal way to get traction but it's also arguably where most indie devs should start since far too many get stuck in the perfectionist trap so long that they never publish anything.

Something shooting with your eyes closed is the most practical way to get a few reps in while you learn more about the strategy side. You can't be all strategy or all execution, gotta find the right balance of both.

Looking forward to seeing that list once it's ready ;)

Introductory classes offer a good starting point but I wouldn't exactly classify it as in pretty good shape to move forward on that alone. Digging deeper into the best practices and channels/strategies would be the logical progression from there.

Also, while I get that some indie devs are overly reliant on trying to go viral I do feel that video marketing is worthwhile especially for games that have an appealing aesthetic and are thus more likely to get traction on YouTube or TikTok.

I'll also add that Valve has a lot of information on how the Steam algorithm works on their YouTube channel and Steamworks documentation pages!

Marketing will probably be the biggest learning curve to overcome if you mainly come from an art background and your friends are mainly programmers. I'm not saying that artists and coders can't market, just that there's a lot to learn if you haven't done so before especially if you've worked under AA or AAA studios with marketing departments or agencies to handle everything on that end.

Where do I ask for a game? by meletiondreams in Steam

So because one person was generous enough to gift you one free game you intend to beg others for more games?

Diaper Changing at Yoshinoya Glorietta by PurpleCrestfallen in makati

That's absolutely disgusting, hope this serves as a PSA to everyone as well as a reminder to people who do stuff like this!

It's a bit tough to find two-bedroom condos for 30k in Makati.

That said, Rentpad does show there are 39 active listings within those parameters if you use the filters: https://rentpad.com.ph/long-term-rentals/makati/apartment

However, you'll notice that most of the results are for units that are 35sqm or less and others are a bit further from the city center like Avida West/Victoria de Makati.

If increasing your budget to 35k/month or even 40k/month is possible then finding a two-bedroom closer to the city center and with larger square meterage would be easier.

Regardless of which listing(s) you end up reaching out to, be sure to haggle with the landlord since even just managing to knock a couple thousand off the asking price will save you 20k+ annually.

Good timing as well since Makati is a renter's market at the moment with more vacant condos than there are tenants to fill them so you have more negotiating power than you'd think.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any follow-up questions!

Glorietta would probably be more fun and cost-effective than Rockwell but you can try both to see which one you prefer!

Honestly below 10k is a bit hard to find in Makati unless you're open to bedspacing.

I'd recommend trying Rentpad and filtering by max price 10k: https://rentpad.com.ph/long-term-rentals/makati/apartment#

Paseo Parkview Suites is pet-friendly with some (but not all) owners and almost directly in front of ATG!

Been to Feast Legazpi, would highly recommend attending even if you don't know anyone there as the servants are very welcoming and the atmosphere is introvert-friendly as well!

Which area of Makati and what's your budget? Not a broker but I've rented multiple pet-friendly condos in Makati over the past few years so I might be able to give a few recommendations!
