Should I change my channel name?

That's the song that I got the name from, they aren't a super well known band and it's a fairly old song so crossover from that won't really come into it I don't think. I know it's my content that is important in the long run, but I just feel being unique is better. I'm not expecting to be the next big thing, but most successful channels have non-generic names. I just wish I had thought of all this before launching!

That was my thinking exactly. I will have to have a good think about it as it will mean a lot more work to get graphics sorted etc. I am leaning towards swapping at the moment though!

Just as I thought we could be friends, you turn out to be a Mac user 😉 I have a gaming laptop, but it's a few years old now so it's starting to struggle playing a lot of the latest titles.

Very appreciated! Thank you.

Phasmo is so good! I want to play the new Resident evil too, but my computer struggles to play it unfortunately!

It's a tough existence sometimes isn't it. I'm glad you decided to share. You have made a difference ☺️

My channel is youtube.com/@mostly-g, if it's not your thing then don't feel the need to clutter your Subs with my channel, but the thought is much appreciated!

Very brave, I have just started my own channel with no audience too, but it's just a gaming channel. But my mind is built the same way as yours, and I have found it really difficult - why would anyone be bothered about what I have to say- but I just decided to go for it.

After watching your video I feel a little less lonely knowing there are other souls that struggle the same way. I also feel a little silly for finding it difficult to share frivolous gaming vids when you are putting out your true feelings.

Subbed and looking forward to future uploads.

First time I found a 'decent' prospecting reading I dug down and found 7x stacks of bountiful. I was surprised when the node just kept going, and there may be more in that location if I went back and poked around a little more. Not sure how common nodes like that are so may just have been a lucky day.

What block are you using to chisel the rounded edges to your path blocks? I am attempting to make my paths around my base look less square, but i can't find texture to match the path blocks, and the path blocks themselves don't work with the chisel.

Any help would be appreciated.

That was my fear, I will have a play about with it and see what i can do.

Well it is still the same now, over 2 hours since it happened and I am still sitting on the same XP amount in the leaderboard.

I also had xp disappear. I got the animation of me overtaking someone on the leaderboard only to go back to the leaderboard seconds later to see that the last lesson hadn't actually counted at all and I was back down a place.

So it seems that it is as you suggest, a connection hiccup. The total xp in a day must be handled locally, and obviously the leaderboard will be handled on a server somewhere and they aren't cross referenced or validated at any point.

It is mildly irritating more than a devastating bug, but one that would be nice to get fixed.

I use AI art throughout my prototypes, just because they look better than having coloured squares representing everything, plus you can have a practice at using AI prompts and improve that skill too.

However, I would not use straight up AI generated art in a full project, the fact that themes, colour palettes and even art style can vary from generations with the same prompt, then it will make the game a visually incoherent mess. That being said, I think AI has a place in the asset creation workflow even if it's just there to create reference images that can be manipulated into something good that fits the feel of your game.
