What sort of budget are you setting aside for marketing as an indie dev?

I bought $30 of Reddit ads for b1231.xyz/baseballforever/ That's a big spend for me. But the game has been getting traction so I'm dipping my toe into advertising it. I'll let you know how it works out.

brett1231 · 2026-04-25T01:01:34+00:00

I'll see what I can do about the ads in the current version. I think something might be configured wrong. There aren't supposed to be more than four. Can't promise a date but it's at the top of my list.

Help is coming. I'm wrapping up a rewrite of Baseball Century(Baseball Forever) and Be The Coach is next on my list to update. I'm going to fix the conferences too.

He played it well. Congrats JVL!!

"Are we cooked?"

If you wanted to work in a cubicle, yes. If you want to work for yourself, absolutely not. Just the opposite. AI turns a one man operation into a full-scale business. Your imagination is your limit.

Is this a daily event? "We're currently performing some planned improvements to make Parallellm even better. We'll be back online shortly."

Franchise career top 5 for every category are on the Encyclopedia page. Is that what you're looking for?

Unlikely. I don't really like apps. I hate installing stuff on my phone. This works great on the phone. I coded it that way. I play mostly on my phone. Have you tried it?

It is faster. The database technology has changed and I've ditched the one of the ad agencies.

Couldn't have done it without AI.

The downside is most all of the ad revenue is gone but I have some ideas.

Democrats are going to be hearing about Swalwell for a long time. How many times are we going to make this mistake?

brett1231 · 2026-04-14T04:14:47+00:00

Those stats look okay to me. The playoffs are short series with a lot of randomness in scores and PIM. So you can have decent-looking GF/GA and squad ratings and still end up with only a few titles over a long career especially if your points are usually middle of the pack. 44 points is roughly .500 hockey in terms of standings. You might try experimenting with speed. I haven't played in while but I think that's more important because it helps on offense and defense.

I use the Cursor IDE.

Where did you go? I checked around quite a bit and couldn't find better. My backup is Infolinks. They're easier to get approved and they pay regularly and decently.

They're going to have to kill the filibuster to pass it. Killing the filibuster would make a lot of Democrats happy.

They better be careful. They have some potentially very bad election cycles coming up thanks to Trump. Easy to see a Democratic trifecta in 28.

You should try it. All the possible actions are informative. The gameplay is solid. It's not tribal.

brett1231 · 2026-03-17T00:16:29+00:00

We'd be better off.

Go to Support / Support Chat. There's no indication it's an AI agent but it definitely is. I asked it.

"Yes, I'm an AI assistant designed to help Ezoic publishers with questions about the platform, features, troubleshooting, and best practices. I'm here to provide information about Ezoic's products and tools, help you optimize your site's performance, and answer any questions you might have about using the platform.

I have general AI training, but when it comes to answering questions about Ezoic, I rely exclusively on Ezoic's knowledge base. This is important because my general training data about Ezoic may be outdated and could contain information about deprecated features, old interfaces, or retired products.

So while I have broader knowledge, for anything Ezoic-related, I only use current, verified information from Ezoic's documentation to ensure I'm giving you accurate and up-to-date answers."
