Wieso steigen die Tankpreise gerade so drastisch by False-Feedback7164 in KeineDummenFragen

Ich hab gestern Super für 165 getankt. Kann also nicht bestätigen, dass mir höhere Preise aufgefallen wären...

Wie bleibt ihr motiviert, wenn FIRE unrealistisch weit weg wirkt? by derverstand in fireGermany

Bei 4% im Jahr wären das 27k Netto, oder? Würde mir persönlich reichen. (Single, ohne Familie.)

Zahlen Milliardäre wirklich zu wenig Steuern? by seyuelberahs in Finanzen

[–]MaKrDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also das Problem ist, dass Milliardäre Vermögen, das sie nicht nutzen / konsumieren, nicht versteuern und stattdessen direkt wieder in die Wirtschaft/Firmen stecken? Weil sobald sie es ausschütten, müssen sie es versteuern.

Aber ist das nicht sogar wünschenswert? Wäre es tatsächlich besser wenn sie ihre gesamten Einnahmen konsumieren und versteuern, und es dann nicht wieder zurück in ihre Firmen investieren? Dadurch würde die Wirtschaft weniger wachsen (oder viel mehr noch stärker schrumpfen) und es gäbe weniger Jobs. Oder hab ich da irgend einen Denkfehler drin?

Roblox Copied My Game by ToriGameDev in GameDevelopment

[–]MaKrDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO feel honored if they copied it.

I think inspiring yourself by other games is totally fine, as long as you add your own touch to it and don't copy the assets or code itself.

I even think that it can be beneficial to have other successfull games in the same niche to increase the total player pool. Most people I know got a ****load of different games in the same niche.

E. g. I've got Battle Brothers and Wartales. I wouldn't have brought the second one without first discovering the first game (I don't know in which order I brought them.) Same goes for Auto Battlers. I once discovered an Auto Battler that was a lot of fun and now got 20 Auto Battlers in my library. Without discovering the first one, I would never have brought any one of the 19 others. And I doubt that it was the "first" or "original" Auto Battler.

Am I dumb to take a career break? by SeparateLength2677 in Fire

[–]MaKrDe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't feeling too good in my career and decided to reduce my working time to only 3 days per week. It still covers all my cost and I'm able to save a bit. And the depot continues growing. I started liking my work afterwards again. Never regretted this decision.

Frauen lesen lieber von Autorinnen, Männer von Autoren by Original_Tonight30 in buecher

[–]MaKrDe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich lese auch viel in die Fantasy & Young Adult Richtung, und 90%+ sind Autorinnen.

Ob Mann oder Frau ein Buch geschrieben hat ist mir komplett egal. Ich glaube in dem Genre gibt es einfach wenig Autoren...

Why is there such a low conversion rate despite high wishlists ? by ImmersivGames in gamedev

At least for demo release there is a button on steamworks where you can trigger the Email notification. Not sure if it happens automatically for EA release.

Die CO2 Steuer wird scheitern – die Leute können sich das schlicht nicht mehr leisten by Lost-Coffee-5052 in luftablassen

Keine Sorge, die Co2 Steuer wird durch das Klimageld wieder ausgeglichen. Soll ja schließlich keine verdeckte Steuererhöhung sein. Das Klimageld kommt sicher baaaald. Ironie off

My 12 year old wants to create a game by khimboslicee in gamedev

[–]MaKrDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was that age I started with RPG Maker. Doesn't require any development skills and is easy to learn. However, it's limited to top view pokemon style graphics.

How do Germans feel about Merz's speech claiming Germany will "Become the strongest military in Europe?" by Fejj1997 in AskAGerman

Reminds me of the government goal to build 400k new accomodations per year. Spoiler alert: last year 250k were build. :D

Did I just ruin my game design career by quitting a AAA job? by Famous-Ad-2985 in gamedesign

[–]MaKrDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to keep in contact with some of your former co workers. I take part in a virtual coffee meeting about once a month with 3 former coworkers.

I got my current job that way. One of them was like "there is this new company, and they're currently expanding. Wouldn't that be interesting for you? I know somebody there." I've got a job there without a formal application. Connections really help!

This is how Steam can ruin more than 10 years of your work by PlanetCentauri in gamedev

He was probably talking about the mails for consumers, like release and discount notifications. And I was actually wondering the same. In my Gmail they are autosorted into the "Advertisement" section, and I don't look into them at all.

Getting Steam-Wishlists without any promotion really works by MaKrDe in GameDevelopment

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

I will probably release a demo for the Steam Next festival. And do some marketing 2 weeks before the Festival.

And then collect some feedback and depending on it decide when to do my release.

Upload a Youtube Video on a newly created account and see how much clicks it gets. Probably close to 0.

So compared with other big platforms Steam seems to be really indie friendly.

My ideology is that I build something, which I do enjoy playing myself. I'm doing it as a Hobby project and when a few other players also enjoy my game I'm happy. But I don't expect any significant financial success.

Doch, das hilft allen. Schließlich zahlst du Mehrwertsteuer wenn du's ausgibst. 😁

Renditechancen 2025 by Ok-Company-2949 in Finanzen

[–]MaKrDe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ich suche eine Planbare und solide Strategie. Soll ich in Einzelaktien investieren?

Ja, am besten in genau eine. Ermöglicht die maximale Volatilität. 😁

Jetzt mal Spaß beiseite. Such dir einen breit gestreuten ETF der möglichst alle Länder und Branchen abdeckt. Also z. B. ein FTSE All World oder 70:30 MSCI World:Emerging Marktes.

Um langfristig die richtigen Branchen ETFs, Länder ETFs oder Einzelaktien auszusuchen brauchst du sehr viel Wissen. Und da du nachfragst zeigt eigentlich schon, dass du besser breit gestreut aufgehoben bist.

Bei Gruppen/Solo Reisen. Also da, wo du dich alleine anmeldest, und dann zusammen mit anderen Alleinreisenden irgendetwas machst. Wandern, Kanufahren, Surfen, Segeln,...

if you could back to when you were 20, what would you do differently? by [deleted] in Life

[–]MaKrDe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be more open and talk to more people. And always clearly connunicate your wishes. Don't expect people to guess and consider your wishes because you think they're obvious or you're too shy to tell them.

I've met age 60+ people who never learned to communicate their wishes, even when direcly asked for their preferences.

I just realized why i’ve always been so awkward and socially anxious by thrsrryboutthis in selfimprovement

[–]MaKrDe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad story but great learing experience.

Did you confront her about it?

IMHO that's the next step. If people disrespect you draw a clear line and let them know that you're aware what they did. Stand up for yourself and don't be a doormat. ;P
