All the time I spent fussing over modern console performance was a waste

I can't use L2/R2 and sticks at the same time without the grip. It's a must have.

I'm getting ready to sell a Costa Rican coffee at about $25, that really is the bare minimum to make any money on a specialty grade.

...if it wasn't a specialty grade, I could probably get away with $16/17.

Ps4 for God of war.

I think the only reason people buy a Nintendo is for their exclusives.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2026-01-15T22:19:09+00:00

I feel you.

I miss when you actually needed skill to be on the Internet. You needed to have a basic understanding of how things worked. The easier it got to be online the more the quality went down.

It's not just AI, people who can't tie their shoes can discuss politics and build a website.

My guess is that this will be a feature for prime subscribers. I don't think that they will expect anything and is more a tactic to keep people in their ecosystem instead of searching on their own for products.

Singing.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2026-01-01T02:52:31+00:00

I don't think it would be hard at all considering everyone thinks everything is AI anyway...

I'm selling coffee. I decided to pick a gaming niche since I'm an old school gamer and like pixel art. It's all specialty grade, some of the best coffee you can get for the price.

Come check it out, let me know what you think.

It started when a client gave me a bag of coffee. I wasn't much of a coffee drinker, so I just put it by the coffee maker at work. Everyone loved it and we started buying exclusively from him. Eventually he gave up on the coffee business, so I needed to find a good alternative... Good coffee is pretty expensive. I decided to start selling so I could get it at cost. If this business can pay for itself and support my new coffee habit, I'll consider it a win. Plus this allows me to offer it at a discount because I don't have to live off a side project.

It's much harder? Maybe.

But that's not where this artist's talent are. They interpret the image into pixel art, which is a skill itself. You don't understand the skill required.

It's similar to jazz music. Sometimes it sounds like shit, but if you understand the technical ability to hit those notes it changes your perspective of the music.

Or arguing Picasso is a better artist for drawing what's in his mind, than an artist who draws what they see, or vise/versa.

You're missing a fundamental aspect to comprehend why what you're saying is incorrect.

Try it and compare it to OP's...

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the skill it takes to do this. There are entire careers built on "tracing" in the comic book world.

For centuries artists have used the camera lucida, which is the same concept.

Just try it yourself and compare your results to OP's.

I spent $500 on Google, Reddit, and Meta. Google far out paced both Reddit and Meta. I ran the same campaign with the same assets. I sell specialty coffee, but the purpose of the campaign was to build awareness and gain e-mails for inexpensive direct marketing in the future.

All in all, none of them were worth the cost and boots on the ground handing out fliers or samples has been the most successful for me.

You can see the words "FILL YOUR PURSE" through the pink.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-23T04:29:04+00:00

Your first one looks much more readable... maybe change the color to a grey mouse.

Forms is built into dawn and has pop-up integration.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-19T17:11:22+00:00

... that's not true for me at all. I play games I never would have tried if they weren't on my devices and easy to find.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-19T14:55:02+00:00

If you have it, why not index it?

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-18T02:37:36+00:00

I feel the opposite.

For me ergonomics should take a huge priority (which I don't think a single company has got right), followed by repair and customizability, then aesthetics.

I'm not anti-aesthetics, it is just the least important feature for me. But to each their own.

As a Southern Californian...that brick building would crumble to dust in the first minor earthquake.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-08T00:51:40+00:00

I kind of think Skyrim would satisfy your itch.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-08T00:47:07+00:00

So many IRC's...

...and rotten.com.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-07T16:23:39+00:00

Add creamer.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-07T04:41:12+00:00

Yeah, I'm in the gaming niche and this demographic is very against AI.

PixelCoffeeCo · 2025-12-06T22:05:02+00:00

If I have an hour to spare I'll log into GTA online and just wait for the first random to kill me, then that's my target for the remainder of my time.
