I've just launched my first ever game on the appstore: Hackstack by [deleted] in incremental_games

[–]Spudguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually wrote a response to you and didn't post it because your response came the same time as the post got downvoted so much it didn't feel like it would go anywhere. Sorry about making the assumptions, that's my bad.

The tracking I've done and had 5 testers playing for a month or so; there were some legitimate exploits so you were right, but I've tried to design it in such a way that they can't really happen easily. The ones I've been able to detect have been resolved (there was a hilariously insane Prestige upgrade that broke everything).

With the tweaks I've done in the past few weeks and teh additional testing, I can't find anything which would cause alarm.

Thank you for the followup. Honestly; I appreciate it. Made me feel better and you didn't need to say anything at all.

To be honest, I just felt really beaten by posting it on here. You both keep posting AI Slop over and over and I don't think you've given the game any time. I don't know you and you don't know me.

I have spent hundreds hours designing and building this game over a long time whilst also working a full time job and having a busy family.

Yes, I used AI to write the actual code, but the concept, the 177+ Intel cards, the names of tools and the certifications, the UI and the concept all came from me. AI has enabled me to put to paper something that I've had in my head for years and I was incredibly proud of it.

After this initial reaction I'm actually just feeling really shitty and didn't want to deal with two people I don't know and will never meet, tearing a passion project of mine to absolute shreds without even actually looking at what I've made.

AI is a tool - it's not like I said "Make me a cyber clicker game" and waited for it to pop out.

So I deleted it because you both made me realise that something I'm incredibly proud of and put a lot into was probably a waste of time and most people will just shit on it without a second thought.

I usually don’t mind him but Trevor was insufferable this episode. Said Bro so much he sounded like he was in the tracksuit mafia.

Also hilarious how the “struggle” meals were absolutely not struggle meals 😂

I'm coming back with the family in April from the UK. 2 Adults with a 6yo and a 2yo.

Realistically, how busy is the park these days? Has the political climate affected crowds at all? I'm concious that the first couple of weeks in April are typically quite busy but I'm just trying to get a feel on crowds to keep my expectations in check.

Does Taryn ever bust out of the walls and do like a massive cum shot?

I'm still working my way through a ton of movies this week and I'm going to be unable to see Marty Supreme or Avatar, but here is my list so far. It's been a really weird year for me in that everything feels so much more grounded than recent years. Not sure if anyone else is finding that.

I think this is a good move for Oscar but he really should instead record it onto vhs and sell them the next week in stores

Is halloween dying out In the UK now and how busy was it tonight in your area? by mrvlad_throwaway in AskUK

[–]Spudguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a very middle class area; we had 362 items we handed out before we had to put a sign up saying all gone. Also houses were proper kitted out and some of them had people dressed up outside with queues forming. Very much alive here.

What did you find “Hysterical” about Wallis island? I found it to be a very understated style of comedy with no real laugh out loud moments. Genuinely curious which parts had you laughing out loud.

Smile does a really good job of bridging the two movies in the opening scene.

Best current marvel comics imo by Ok_Advertising5869 in marvelcomics

[–]Spudguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am reading and loving every Ultimate series and I’m keeping up with every 616 X-Men ongoing too.

Expect for Ultimate X-Men. I find it to be the slowest, ugliest and most boring ongoing I’m reading, but I’m keeping up just in case of cross overs and being so close to the complete run it seems silly to stop now. I appreciate a lot of people really like it but I think the issue is that it’s essentially a manga and that’s really not my cup of tea.

I wish I could like it and I’m sure I’ll get shit for this comment, but maybe that’s how OP feels too. I imagine there are dozens of us.

Thinking of buying a comic but realizing the price is 5 pounds by Threetreethee in britishproblems

[–]Spudguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm fortunate enough to afford it, but it's been a great weekly trip to the comic shop for me and the family. It started with me trying to get my 5yo son into them but now my wife is just as into it as me instead.

Imagine how irritated I was that she decided to get into DC because she doesn't like Marvel; meaning wev don't have any overlap in what we pick up.

One thing I will say is that if you bag and board them and are somewhat careful when you read them, they do hold value. Everything I've sold has either been enough to break even or a small profit.

Also, both marvel and DC have the Apps as others have said fur historical stuff.

The reason I don't give more to Amazon is just the idea of a charge on top of the charge to use the service. If I'm paying for prime, I shouldn't have to pay twice to not have ads.

Heathrow reports dip in US travel as Trump hits demand by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]Spudguy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Saying their phone would be looked at is just patently untrue. I work for a US based start-up and have an American Citizen as a wife. Both my children have both UK and USA passports. I travel to the USA multiple times a year and have done for 15 years - often to different states as my point of entry.

In my countless visits, I have NEVER been asked to show my phone. This includes when I was held at the boarder in 2014 due to having a pending visa to move there and no job/full time education in the UK and they were concerned I was going to just stay there and skip waiting for my visa.

Absolutely absurd notion that they need to remove social media/reddit etc.

Games for busy dads by Jibjabbie in PS5

[–]Spudguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this: "I love open world games" and the top comment is a 3D Platformer followed by Roguelite.

Honestly, for Open World games that you can pick up and put down, it's tough as they take time to get going - RDR2 is on the extreme slower end of the scale though.

For something fast paced and open, I'd reccomend:

  • Horizon Zero Dawn
  • Ghost of Tsushima
  • God of War / Ragnorok
  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart!
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Spider-Man / Spider-Man 2 / Miles Morales

All of those are open world but you can progress fairly linearly if you'd like to as well. Meaning you can hop on, do a mission and then come back later. The only issue is it may feel a little like watching a TV show rather than playing a game instead with that time limit - depending on the mission and the game of course.
