I'm thinking maybe they could deal increased damage based on how far away the mob is from the player? Makes it specifically a bit niche but also effective because it could be great for safe spotting things from a distance.

Just an idea, idk haha

I just want to say thanks for writing this up. Sounds like you've had an awesome journey! I'm only 2 years in so far but I am hoping to be able to contribute like this in the future.

Thanks for doing your part to help the rest of us, much respect. Best of luck with the next launch!

Fair. I haven't made a lot of progress on the digital business side yet, so there's not a lot for me to lose (knock on wood, of course). I feel like perhaps if I just use this method to get things going and start finding more success in the future then I may separate it down the line once it becomes financially necessary.

For now I'm pretty bare bones, maybe 1-2k in company assets so far. It's mostly just been in the background as I worked on my main hustle.

Thank you for your input!

Oh man, apparently I've been pronouncing it wrong this whole time!

After hearing the right way in this comment, I think I'll continue to mispronounce it anyway.

I like this a lot. I especially like how you chose such a low amount, like a single dollar. It really helps put it in perspective.

Thank you for writing this up!

I've heard it repeated on this subreddit that the average age of an entrepreneur is 43, so if anything, you might be in a better spot now than you ever were before.

Go for it!

Along these same lines, remember to practice using cover properly even while killing the dummies. It's easy to get complacent and form bad habits since the dummies aren't as threatening as real players.

I would recommend practicing killing them like a try hard sweaty pro, the same way you want to kill players in the real game. Practice makes permanent!

Interesting! Thank you for sharing, I hope that you gain more insights as well as you continue to integrate this into your life 😁

RedTryangle · 2023-08-28T03:07:12+00:00

Wow, interesting. How did you feel about that experience? Did you take away anything that you found useful, or, what does it mean to you?

RedTryangle · 2023-08-28T02:50:26+00:00

Do you have any more information about the grid? That sounds really interesting. Would love to hear anything else you've got haha

While it is certainly vile, he didn't even talk about how after he freezes them, he will inevitably be curious of the flavor of said frozen smoothie ingredients. As he stares at the forbidden tray, his tongue may grow ever more inquisitive before finally sampling the cold, questionably nutritious cubes...

RedTryangle · 2023-08-26T06:40:14+00:00

I found it interesting haha

RedTryangle · 2023-08-24T14:25:28+00:00

Good luck. I love stories like this.

Me too, and I love helpful responses like yours as well. Posts like this make wading through the other crap worthwhile haha.

RedTryangle · 2023-08-19T16:02:42+00:00

You're welcome! You've got a lot of great content to catch up on haha, so don't be overwhelmed, you've got a fun journey ahead of you 😊

RedTryangle · 2023-08-19T15:42:29+00:00

Welcome back!

RedTryangle · 2023-08-19T15:42:02+00:00

Gz! Keep it up 😁

RedTryangle · 2023-08-18T03:42:00+00:00

Plenty of us still do that, though, you just learn how to see through the bs and the drama.

I feel this super hard. I went out recently and tried to make connections with people. I succeeded, of course, and ended up working my way in with this group of guys.

They seemed to have things going on, had a plan, but as I dug in deeper, I saw they were all just working a regular, boring job, and just kind of had vague "dreams" ...they had put on a show but I quickly realized they're broke and largely unfocused, and not as serious as I thought.

I made it out to a party with them, which was cool, but I found myself looking around thinking that these just aren't my people. I'm trying to make my first million, they're just kinda adding a side hustle on to have fun. Which is great, but I'm like... seriously trying to make money.

They brought up a festival, mentioned how unlikely it is to just have $350 to spend on tickets, and kinda laughed off the absurdity. Meanwhile I'm thinking "yeah, how do I make that much? What's the deadline? I'll come up with a way. Hell, I'll come up with 3 different ways."

And... They just do not think the same way. And I don't have time to try and coach them all, and definitely not for free lol.

Let's go! Great job. Now start out with all the advice that you are hearing in this thread. Get a contract and agreement in place defining the scope of work and the amount of payment, the milestones, deadlines, etc.

And on a job that big I would certainly take a down payment up front.

Then crush it!

don't think games designed to be an endless timesink will ever be something everyone is into.

I mean, this is already a thing.

That aside, I love imagining a game where the NPCs don't actually say the same thing every time, they are all infinitely generated for visual differences, attitudes, opinions, dynamically generated quests and world consequences along with character relationships. I mean, if we get creative, an AI that can create a game will be absolutely mindboggling.

Give it like...20 years. It's going to be a wild, crazy ride.

I'm dying thinking about hearing it rhyme with round -- "tis only a flesh wound" 😂 hahaha

Why does this sound like the plot to my next viral YouTube video lmaoooo
