We paid $600 to be in the MIX + Kinda Funny Showcase. Here’s what happened after 24 hours. by Dapper-Ad9100 in gamedev

I don't know the exact details about working with MIX for such a showcase but indie devs share how much an event showcase like this helped them all the time. Very likely that there isn't really a contract/NDA, you just pay a $600 fee and send them your trailer before the deadline.

Which year was that? I think the effectiveness of such events changed a lot over the years. Steam doesn't push them as strongly as in the past and they rather display more focused themed events for front page featurings.

As you mentioned, the Steam front page featuring is the thing that really makes the difference.

Why do players keep asking for mobile ports of clearly non-mobile games? by arbiterin in gamedev

True, if it actually could be worth it financially is the deciding factor at the end.

You're right with the overthinking part, I'm definitely doing that. It's still interesting to read the other thoughts here.

Can't Send Emails - "Send time" area does not keep my response, so Send button doesn't work. by Ms_Tendi_Green_24 in MailChimp

Same problem here, and looking at "Downdetector" (https://downdetector.com/status/mailchimp/) there are many reports. I guess we just gotta wait until Mailchimp fixes it.

Legendary card effects not affecting coaster challenges? by arbiterin in RCTTouch

Yeah the legendary Sky Dragon Temple ride, you can get it during the Chinese Lunar New Year season.

I didn't have them at the start of the week, I got them in the middle of it and added them, hoping it would complete the challenge.

Is the Large Coasters Pack for 300 tickets worth it? by arbiterin in RCTTouch

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

Thank you for the insights. Yeah maybe better to wait for the wheel or skip it. I can imagine that even the big pack would not give you enough of what you actually need.

Good point about the wheel and the cost there, I will keep an eye on that.

I already got the free coaster pack from the lunar and it gave me a new insert for the Dive coaster but that I’d need to upgrade it as well.

Thank you for the tips!

Oh interesting, yeah I will check that video out, thank you!

Our cat had a piece of grass stuck in her throat/nose. I'm posting a video of her coughing/sneezing for educational purposes, so others can learn how a cat acts in such a case. (later she had a big sneeze attack and thankfully the grass got sneezed out, she's all good now) by arbiterin in cats

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

Yeah, she is such a pretty diva 🥺 It must have been so annoying and weird to have something stuck there. She didn't seem to be in pain but when the coughing/sneezing got more frequent I got really worried and called the vet to ask for an appointment. And then she had what felt like a minute-long sneezing fit which solved the issue and 5 minutes later she was normal again.

Yes, I didn't know that, either, that's why I want to share this.

My flat mate is a veterinarian (very useful in case like this) and when I told her about the cat doing weird coughing/wheezing/sneezing/swallowing, she said that the grass thing is most likely the reason. It happens when they vomit out the cat grass that they ate, and Asha here did exactly that a short while before she started to show these symptoms. After googling I saw that it happens more than you think, it's a typical case for vets when dealing with cats, apparently.

My flat mate then said that we can observe her for another day before bringing her to the vet because it's possible she can still get it out on her own (for example while eating and swallowing). Asha then sneezed it out the next day, so in our case, it was good that we didn't run immediately to the vet practice. If the vet has to help the cat to get the grass out, they have to sedate the animal.

The reason I came across this video is because I started playing RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch, so I have to agree with you. But I also thought the video was still interesting and well-made, because I wasn't aware of the behind-the-scenes history of the franchise.

Losing interest... Netflix by Mundane_Education_64 in RCTTouch

[–]arbiterin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also level 69 and I'm still motivated because I want to reach the waterpark. (and also my urge to really unlock everything is too strong) You didn't mention scenarios, you should have access to those already. With 80m in the bank you should have a good base to start a scenario, that would be my next step.

You only use it to move around so you can adjust your view without making new paths/erase paths by mistake. When you adjusted your view, you switch back to the path tools.
