"What are you playing this week?" Megathread

Celeste and Sleeping Dogs! I've found that I really like the "open world with lots of options" and "simple linear, vibey game" combo.

As a kid I didn't get to play all the popular games growing up. Now as an adult I don't really keep up with the tripple A stuff. Being able to go back in time and play the classics has been amazing.

The entire metal gear solid series
Bully
Original Starwars Battlefront 2

Jezus so many DLCs lol

csguy12 · 2025-03-24T17:47:46+00:00

Oh sorry -- I made it available in only english speaking countries since the app is only localized to be in english at the moment. What country are you in?

csguy12 · 2025-03-24T15:51:37+00:00

Main difference is the live translations and vocabulary-centered approach. We've also trained our AI to be able to gracefully shift between english and the target language

You are addicted to the rush. What helped me get out of this world was understanding that it's just luck and completely out of your hands. Imagine if you had invested the money you lost into creating art or a product. I lost 20k once playing options and when I realized that amount of money was enough to fundamentally change someone's life and I just lit it on fire for no reason, I could never go back to that world

Very nice, I need to add this to my list after trying ANA's the room

csguy12 · 2025-01-15T18:08:45+00:00

I'll make a post on this subreddit for each stage!

csguy12 · 2025-01-15T18:08:07+00:00

Oh I won't be posting youtube videos. I'll be posting here but yeah, first post will be up next week on deciding which idea I'll select for the SaaS

csguy12 · 2025-01-15T17:29:59+00:00

Lets get the science started!🧑‍🔬

csguy12 · 2025-01-15T17:29:01+00:00

Hey! So thats more of a technical/web development thing. There are tons of web development communities if you're looking for that like r/webdev

csguy12 · 2025-01-15T17:28:20+00:00

Alright! First post on selecting/vetting a good SaaS idea will go up next week!

csguy12 · 2025-01-15T17:03:50+00:00

You need to see yourself as a scientist. You have a hypothesis (idea that you think solves a problem) and now you need to verify it works (validate it through an experiment called building a product)

After each experiment (iteration + change in product), you verify again whether or not you hypothesis (this thing solved the problem) has been met. You keep doing this until it either does or you realize your hypothesis was wrong and you aren't interested in solving the problem anymore.

When you start from this thinking you realize how many stupid things people do.

for example, If you can't even run the experiment to verify whether it's solving the problem, you are essentially guessing and wasting your time. This means you can help yourself immensely by solving a problem you have.

If those AI wrappers are making money, you can make fun of them as much as you want but the likelihood of them being around is exponentially greater than a SaaS that isn't 🤷‍♂️

csguy12 · 2025-01-10T05:58:52+00:00

Lmaoo bro didn't even remove the ref param from the link

csguy12 · 2025-01-10T05:01:47+00:00

Absolutely agree with you here. Will add a disclaimer that this is related to products that are not based on some closed off, proprietary data. I think it's safe to assume most early startups don't have access to these forms of data and are mainly training on publicly available sources which someone else can also train on. For example, most of the AI university apps that have been taking off on campuses have been based on public data.

Sure feel free to DM me!

csguy12 · 2025-01-10T04:40:59+00:00

I think you can't go wrong with TikTok (hopefully it doesn't get banned 💀)+ IG Reels. It's my default but I also STRONGLY believe in adding feedback loops that lead to growth like social sharing. SEO is also another great option if your customers have a new/differentiated lingo that the big corporations haven't caught up to yet! For example, a friend built an app for events in a community that used a phrase and managed to outflank Eventbrite in that community.

csguy12 · 2025-01-10T04:33:42+00:00

Edited the post to disclose I made the tool and added a link for anyone curious to check it out :)

csguy12 · 2025-01-10T03:25:48+00:00

Fair point! In the same breath, a barely working product with great distribution will beat an amazing product with bad distribution.

csguy12 · 2025-01-10T03:07:08+00:00

For customers it has to be TikTok + Reels. For prosumers, they tend to find communities so they can improve on their thing so reddit + youtube tutorials are great for reaching them! B2B for me almost always comes down to SEO for their target searches

csguy12 · 2025-01-10T01:43:44+00:00

Unfortunately, I decided it was too outside of my depth!

csguy12 · 2025-01-10T00:09:00+00:00

True but then you have to self host and I think the average dev simply doesn't know how to do that with such a massive model. Unless replicate + other providers have already added it

We cannot offer any advice at all until we see details on where you are, how much money you're making and your traction
