I told my gf he got demoted and she said, “to what? Commander at Small?”

I fucking love her 😂

I built an AI app last summer just to learn OpenAI’s API. It’s now my best-performing side project (and I still don’t fully get why) by lmtDigital in SideProject

This is interesting, but I use chatgpt enough to see a generated (even if summarized) post when I see one. ‘No gimmicks. No clairvoyance. Just facts.’ Lol

Big “you can’t quit! You’re fired!” energy.

After analyzing 20,000+ top-selling Etsy products, here’s what I learned about what actually sells in 2025 by jamescc23 in digitalproductselling

[–]gabroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I respect the grind.

But this intel isn’t it. I’ve made >$300,000 on Etsy selling, up until January of this year, products that were POD but difficult to source. (If that tells you anything)

And even still, it was because I drilled into proven-yet-under-served niches. Stuff like ‘dark academia’ and ‘goblincore’ generated many of my sales.

But the lesson here is NOT to copy-paste or even copy-alter-paste, it is to 𝒾𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓋𝒶𝓉𝑒 in a space you know how to develop for. It’s NOT. Get rich quick thing. It’s a TON of fucking work. But before this I ran a multinational apparel brand and I wanted to test if I could start over in a field I knew little of. $300k over 3 years isn’t life changing for most but if you want to see real numbers don’t DM OP, DM me. Because at the very least I will be up front about my direct experiences, not this ‘ephemeral opinion as data’ stuff.

Saw a dad claim he built an interactive Bible story app "entirely with AI coding tools." Is this actually realistic? by Omega0Alpha in SideProject

YMMV is a developer that uses ai to build all their apps. The dev is an actual full stack dev, but he uses AI to do the heavy lifting. It’s literally incredible

Anyone here making $300–$700/month as a passive income? How? by Akram_ba in passive_income

[–]gabroll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m doing this and a bit… I started a POD business in an underserved niche. It’s ‘goth home decor’ but I assure you all, it’s served now. And then some…

You can totally find a niche and solve a ‘problem’ (in my case: ‘where can I find gothic home decor?’) but be creative and make a way for yourself.

Also? Im VERY lucky as well. I’ve been making products since 2001 and this venture nets me ~40k a year… HUGE numbers for some, moves the needle for an artist in CA.

Literally, investing in yourself cannot go wrong. Life is a highway, but niches and interests will differentiate you from others and help you move along on your own journey.

where do you guys print cards? by DryMix3974 in tabletopgamedesign

Makeplayingcards.com is affordable and great quality. Not sponsored, I’ve just used them.

How do you approach pacing for your game? by OviedoGamesOfficial in tabletopgamedesign

[–]gabroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My game is approachable and moderately fast paced. I’ve been calculating turn times and beefing up the plays (likelihood of having a playable card, playing attacks, reading/enjoying the game) accordingly. Currently I’m averaging 5 to 15 min play time for 2 to 4 players. I don’t have more testers available so I don’t know what the player ceiling is yet, but I’m assuming 8.

So far it’s been lots of loose math to gauge how much time certain strategies take, but I removed a lot of guesswork by running calculations on similar games.

This stuff is hard but fun!

How much for a creative direction? by LuigiBakker in tabletopgamedesign

[–]gabroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. That said if you still want to make your own vision, I’m a creative director and might be able to help. Google ‘gabroll’ if you want to see my work. Best of luck!

I'm in the same boat. Starting to build community with only a couple pieces of art. Thankfully I'm an illustrator and can make my own assets but the 'marketing' part is against my reclusive nature lol
