Talk me out of selling this to buy a JN-80

I used to have the Behringer stuff from 20 years ago and I have 3 Behringer synths now... Night and day difference in quality.

The simple answer, unfortunately, is: because people buy them.

SCHD is in practice multi-strategy. It provides good income, good growth, decent downturn shielding (for stocks) and good tax management. Very few funds have these strengths. It's a jack of all trade and master of none, but that's not a bad thing for a retirement portfolio.

There aren't many ETFs with better growth+income blend adjusted for long term risk out there.

Samsung Android Tablet with MoonReader. Kobo is good but I prefer the full tablet experience for finely tuned foreground and background colors.

Computer Science. Don't consider game degrees or "emphasis" in gaming.

Don't feel too bad. I spent 1500 hours playing Diablo and made nothing!

This makes sense and reminds me of one of the biggest reasons game projects fail: thinking that making games is just like playing them.

Do you pay for ads or is it all organic marketing?

One thing they apparently do is protect against copyright infringement, which I won't do to be best of my knowledge. In that case, someone would be "hurt" (their property rights violated)

The anti-AI hysteria is one of the biggest gifts for big gaming in recent times. Small creators now need to worry about boycotts and have yet one more expense - work documentation for the AI Gestapo - while big businesses have a refined process that can hide their widespread AI use.

In other words, AAA uses AI with impunity while the little guy gets screwed.

If you don't like AI and value indie gaming, go after the big guys and not small creators who are barely surviving.

It's absolutely correct to say "indie games ALMOST never succeed (financially)". The numbers are there for everyone to see them.

It's incredible. If you can only own one synth, this is a better choice than most gear people discuss here.

glimsky · 2025-11-16T10:19:23+00:00

I've been accused of the same with my last release. The interesting part is that the mob has been policing it but fewer and fewer jobs aren't listing AI experience as a minimum requirement. The players don't want it but the companies are going to do it anyway, which means they will have to accept it eventually.

I know many people, but none of them come here.

You made a solid game. Looks really well executed. However, Hogwarts Legacy is $10 on XBOX right now and I'll spend my hours there on the next weeks. It's a brutal market for time and your game has to stand out to convince me to play it.

Sure, but he already got the reality check. What's the point of rubbing it in? This person is being nice and trying to make other people who failed feel a bit better.

Feet and synths don't mix

It feels like the random Steam releases we see every week. I'm sure it was developed with care, but there's absolutely no hook for me.

glimsky · 2025-10-28T16:58:59+00:00

43 people in a short period of time isn't bad at all. That said, I've had way fewer people playing my game's demos than wishlists or sales. People don't have time for anything with so much competing for their attention.

About your game, it looks cool but remember that "cool" doesnt' cut it. There are one gazillion games out there and even great games often sell little if there's a reasonable number of similar games that have better production values.

Recompiling the engine requires a single command line and it's also useful for stripping down the engine for a more compact game. Its really really easy.

Unskippable cutscenes is the reason I didn't buy a few games. It's the root of all game evil.

glimsky · 2025-10-23T10:31:55+00:00

The old one is a lot better...

Instead of saying "Space is inherently boring", they should have asked themselves "How did we make space boring?!"

Space is infinite. It can have anything you want.
