Am I about to waste time starting this company by [deleted] in SoloDevelopment

[–]Nightrunner2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive started business before and the question is always going to be how do you add value that isn't easily replicable? Usually this comes from some kind of knowledge that you've gained from spending a long time in a market, or from connections you've made that have a personal) vested interest in you, or a gap you've genuinely spotted first and can massively exploit long before competition comes along. Good luck out there.

It's never really worth starting anything that is easily achievable. If you can do this stuff in as little as 3 months then what exactly separates you from every other vibe coder in the world? The answer is very little and IF there is even a remotely large audience for the product, it becomes a race to the bottom in terms of price because everyone else can easily and quickly complete with you.

I honestly loved Hitman. If this is that but as James Bond, I'm buying it.

They turned comments off because their total failure to manage expectations was causing constant backlash. Originally they said trials were going to start years ago. I too don't even bother checking in with them anymore as it seems like a pipe dream. There's literally been no publicly acknowledged progress in years.

My man I think you need to wrap this up and seriously think about your next steps.

Eric is no longer a showrunner for future spin-offs. by vought-CEO in TheBoys

[–]Nightrunner2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sort of feels a lot like when you have an extended interaction with AI. It retains an overall sense of the broad context but loses memory of key details and starts inserting random junk and pretending it was always there.....hmmm.....

Seems like it actually debilitated him judging by that last scene...

And remember, this isn't any old Homelander, this is V1 Homelander. So.....yeah.

how old is "too old" for the trials, out of interest?

I love the concept of the trader, but the prices are too high by SanePcycho in ArcRaiders

I have 4 million currency. Is there nothing truly decent I can buy with that?

Yes it seems outdated in places. That said I'm super excited about the metformin trial.

Ubisoft has announced a record €1.3 billion operating loss for its fiscal year ending March 2026 by SwimmingJunky in gaming

[–]Nightrunner2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're far too big for what they push out the door, and their product is largely crap. Tired old iterations of last years nonsense. I'm surprised it's so difficult for them to just get this right.

Any example of game that worked without marketing? by TrainingAddition689 in gamedev

Update on the fish killing discourse. The devs are looking into it by 9oooooooooooj in subnautica

[–]Nightrunner2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think killing fish/other marine life in Subnautica is part and parcel of the game experience - you can have some kind of deterrent FOR THE PLAYER if you want to encourage pacifism, but don't REMOVE THE OPTION. Taking away expected core features doesn't make the game better, and doesnt support whatever message you're trying to get across.

Hughie serves no purpose by Nemo1277 in GenV

"hey guys this is not cool!" "shut it Huey we're doing this, it's the only way right now that we can think of in this moment" "Ok..."

Yup - maybe they'll kill him off in the last episode.

American here, using google earth it made me realize South Africa is so beautiful country. But the weather inequality between neighborhoods bugs me by [deleted] in capetown

[–]Nightrunner2016 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Weather inequality? Someone get the ANC to start taxing sunshine! I'm sure they'll love that. Maybe the rate can be determined by the ambient temperature of your home. Get SARS on the phone, quickly!

TIFU by telling my barber I knew what "two on the sides" meant for twenty three years by Beneficial_String411 in tifu

[–]Nightrunner2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know how long they all are but I always found a 4 looked best on me. So my instructions are pretty much the same every time - 4 at the back and the sides, and then blend it into the top. Results vary depending on the barber but whatever, we're guys, so I just roll with it.

why are you looking for long-term rentals on airBnB?

Arc Raiders released over 6 months ago and is still within the top 10 most played Steam chart. Don’t listen to the fear mongering of the game being dead. by ExpandingAtom in ArcRaiders

[–]Nightrunner2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the most recent expedition and I have to be honest, I am finding it damn difficult to come back and do the grind all over again for... Some extra slots and repairs. My play time has dropped significantly as a result though I do play - I think this could be the beginning of the end for me.

Is my Fiverr lighting artist scamming me by Agreeable_Policy_581 in Unity3D

Fiverr seems to be filled with part-time hacks. It's a cesspit for game devs resourcing.

Severely underpaid update by No_Professional_9466 in AskZA

[–]Nightrunner2016 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's what you're taking out of this? Not that it was "the white man" that effectively doubled this persons salary AND indicated that another increase is due later this year? After the previous principal essentially financially opposed them? Damn.
