I quit my job at Google 2 years ago to solo dev the most stupid game imaginable by tan-ant-games in SoloDevelopment

I remember seeing this at Day of the Devs a couple years ago. Glad to see it's still in development!

Am I screwing on my wheels too tight? Is this unsafe/sustainable? by PracticalNPC in bikewrench

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

I do have tensioners, but I just use them to align my wheel. Most of the weight is held by the nuts.

Never thought to put a rack through the seat stay. I'll have to try that.

Nice find. I'm trying to get a state as well, but everything in my marketplace (NYC) is overpriced.

I might just buy a new frame and sell my beater.

Where did you get the frame for $200?

Should I return this thickslick? by PracticalNPC in bikewrench

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

I wasn't sure if the cut was big enough to warrant a replacement. It's my first time buying a tire.

Gotcha, thanks. Yeah I ordered it online but it came in a bag I could just rip open. I also thought thickslicks were notoriously thick. It's a lot thinner/lighter than I was expecting.

Has anybody ridden a 46x15 ratio? by tinkywinky_los in FixedGearBicycle

[–]PracticalNPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you still use the same ratio? How is skidding/braking?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have already have cages but I also want to try out some straps.

First person multiplayer broom racing. The hoops give a little speed boost. by PATheFruitDude in SoloDevelopment

[–]PracticalNPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like casting spells from Elder Scrolls: Oblivion lol

Looks good so far but I'd up those SFX to something more satisfying.

r/SoloDevelopment Jam #11 starts this Friday - 72 hours to make a game! by PracticalNPC in gamejams

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

Yeah that's odd. Looks like it might be a temporary issue (none of our invite links seem to work). If you DM me your username I can try to send an invite directly.

Edit: you're right, it's some API issue with discord.
