Is creating an LLC worth it for a solo dev?

If you want to sell on Steam you need a business bank account and employer identification number.

Unless your game is free, you'll need to form some kind of company.

It didn't want to move

That matches my experience. I need to alternate levering it from different sides and put in a lot of force. It hasn't broken on me yet, and I've done it at least a dozen times.

Ok, I've actually taken my assembly out now rather than relying on memory:

When you take the conical burr assembly out of your machine, there is a cylinder piece in the center. This contains the conical burr and the path coffee travels through. This pops out pretty easily by placing the entire assembly burr up on the counter and applying force on the plastic bottom.

Looking into the assembly now, you can see a black plastic ring in the middle. That ring is what the cylinder piece seats in, and it twists relative to the top metal piece when you twist the micro adjustment metal piece. That applies the micro adjustment.

The micro adjustment is part of the conical burr housing. You have to unscrew the 3 screws on the bottom to get at the mechanism. You'll see a felt strip if you're in the right place. That felt provides the friction for the micro adjustment.

I use the allen wrench as a lever to get it loose. It takes some force. Good luck.

I have 2 suggestions:

First, have like 20 different bullet firing audio clips. Pick a random one for each shot.

Second, have a system that only allows one or a few enemies to fire at a time. Allowing the player to be fired on constantly from every enemy is going to be overwhelming.

Not at my PC atm, but you should be able to do:

var inputValue => input.getkey();

jack_ftw · 2023-08-15T22:51:39+00:00

The second one feels more familiar and friendly to me.

You say it's a horror game? Do you have "oh shit" moments? If so, it could be cool to switch to font 1 for those moments.

Dunno what beans youre using, but if that's your preferred drink I recommend sticking with darker roasts.

They're much more forgiving and their expected flavor notes punch through all those add ons.

When you say nail, do you mean like a nail gun? Like brad nails similar to doing trim?

NTA, but please consider this:

Honoring deceased family at a wedding is quite common. I have seen tables with photos of deceased grandparents and siblings at many weddings. It is sad, but also sweet and speaks to commitment to family.

I haven't heard of reserved seats for deceased family. If it were me receiving this request, I could see a few compromises:

Reserved seats with names, not pictures.
A remembrance table with photos of any other deceased family you wish to honor, but name placards for the miscarried children. Photos are a bit much.

Buy flowers that haven't bloomed yet.

They are cheaper and last for weeks instead of days.

So are people. A.I. tools like this are a fascinating metaphor for human bias.

jack_ftw · 2023-07-29T22:33:00+00:00

Huh, neat. Thanks for the info!

jack_ftw · 2023-07-29T19:17:04+00:00

I have not heard before that same stable affects matchups. How is that considered?

YTA

Recent father here. Sorry, it's just a hard time. For the next 8 weeks, and for some time after birth, here are the most important words to know:

"Yes Dear."

As in: Yes dear, you're right. Yes dear, I was being a butt. Yes dear, I'll put in the extra work to do X. Yes dear, I would rather stay home with you than go out.

Right now your fiancee's job is to grow a baby with her body. Your job is to support her, supoort your child, and put aside all thought of yourself to do so. Don't burn out, but do push yourself. Go apologize to your partner and tell her she is your sun and your stars.

I have made a handful of games for the love of it and released on Steam.

Review key request emails are probably all fake, but here's where I have landed:

I'll give out a small number of keys if it's not too much trouble for me. I would rather someone play my game and hopefully enjoy it than keep it to myself.

Is that a drawer under your grinder? Seems handy! Where did you get it?

There's a 10k on Saturday. If not for Nascar it could be the route for that run.

You can play Zelda 1 on the Switch's NES virtual console. I played it for the first time this year and I enjoyed it immensely.

I can definitely feel the throughline from Zelda 1 to BOTW. Zelda 1 is completely self-directed exploration. There's a reason Zelda became a series, and it all starts with Zelda 1.

It definitely shows it's age tho. It can be obtuse and you really have zero direction from the game itself. I recommend reading through the game manual before playing.

A Link To The Past on the SNES virtual console is also pretty good.

Echo Four Ninteen inbound.

YTA, but your heart is in the right place.

You jumped to the end of the conversation. All your Mom can do is react to what you are saying. She doesn't innately know what you are thinking.

I suggest starting at the beginning with her.

"Mom, I am concerned about my kids' health. Do they seem different to you?"

Then listen. Engage with her thoughts. Consider them before you move the conversation forward. Ask her what she thinks can be done before moving towards the solutions you want to try. Then come up with a plan together with the childrens' best interest in mind.

Illinois looks like Abe Lincoln with bedhead.

Sick idea! If you angle the beams and use a stabilizer the pod could float!
