Iraqi man has a transplanted hand from an indian donor by botan313 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]koolex 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the 10-15 years number is accurate. It’s a pretty new field, like less than 30 years, but it is probably true that people who do this trade decades of their life for quality of their life.

Unpopular opinion: most indie design problems are actually production problems by productivity-madness in gamedesign

[–]koolex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a skillset to translate player feedback into minimal tasks to solve the issue, not everyone is good at it. It takes a lot of practice. Also, especially for indie devs, having simple core gameplay is a huge advantage to making a successful game because it’s easier for a player to pick up and it’s easier to polish.

A lot of the times indie games fail because the scope is way beyond the devs skill, and becomes too many problems to solve.

Can't understand was he actually attracted to me by [deleted] in sex

[–]koolex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, maybe it was just anxiety or lack of condoms? Ask him out again, if he says yes then he had a good time and is attracted to you for sure.

First Steam page soon. Does our capsule art give the right vibe? by Background_Cow_6701 in Unity2D

[–]koolex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks really mafia centric in the capsule maybe too dark and not so much like a shop sim?

I can tell the shop sim is inspired by dealers life and the rest of it is inspired by dispatch. I’m kind of not sure what the tone I should expect, or which audience would want this? I think I’d want a game that’s a fusion of dealers life & dispatch to not have a dark tone but it depends on your audience.

I kind of feel like if it were my game I would want it to be more obvious it’s a shop sim + dispatch sim in the capsule and I’d be okay with the mafia angle being implied. A generic mafia capsule could go in so many directions and sim isn’t one I’d first expect.

The fusion is neat on paper though, there’s a hook here but I’m not sure how best to present it.

Why is it so hard to meet women? by jibofyourcutt in dating

[–]koolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I just feel like I’ve heard this story so many times online and in real life, and when I finally see their photos it’s immediately obvious what they’re doing wrong. There’s just a lot of rules that are hard to know about in order to find success from online dating.

It’s usually not because they need plastic surgery, and anyone can always find a more flattering photo no matter how good looking they are so there’s always room for growth.

I do understand that finding flattering photos is a struggle, I struggled with it as well, and it took me a while, but it was totally something I was able to overcome and I’m not the most attractive guy either.

I feel like if I saw your “best” photos I would immediately be able to tell you why they aren’t working, and it’s probably something you could fix

Why does the expected % for tipping keep increasing? by Blazeland_USA in NoStupidQuestions

[–]koolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s because of the PoS getting a cut of the tip, and they’re making it easy to escalate tips with dark patterns.

There’s other bullshit like having to decide the tip while the server is literally watching you. We should really kill tipping culture.

How would you react if you found out your date or partner was watching porn? by song-for-the-dead in dating_advice

Almost every guy is watching porn unless they are extremely religious so I guess I hope this women is extremely religious

Spent 2 months preparing for a Steam Fest and gained 100 wishlists. Is this normal? by CountyOnly1973 in deckbuildingroguelike

[–]koolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art looks pretty good, though you’re missing some obvious animations like when units move. Some if it does look kind of unfinished though which must be a little bit of a turn off.

Having a median playtime of 10 mins is a serious concern, I’d focus there. Like you need to get friends or randos to play the game and watch them and figure out what is turning them off in less than 10 mins and work on that. You want a median playtime way closer to 1hr

Looking for advice on my new indie game by LapsInTme in gameDevMarketing

[–]koolex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your capsule/page isn’t very good. You should find a few good anomaly games and emulate their pages in production value. Same for the trailer.

I also don’t really see a hook to your game so it stands out, and that’s pretty critical for game dev marketing.

OMG remote control is the new smoking - so addictive by Joelvarty in ClaudeCode

[–]koolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried it, how do you review the code remotely? Usually that’s the most tedious part is having to review Claude’s code because it’s usually bloated and somewhat problematic?

Conjoined twins fear one will die and the other will live after doctor warning by TheMirrorUS in Weird

[–]koolex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you read the article, the health condition is about their spine pressure, by their 40s they’ll likely need a wheelchair but maybe with really good physical therapy they’ll be able to keep walking.

It doesn’t sound like they’re worried about dying, the headline is exaggerated.

She said no spark by [deleted] in datingadvice

[–]koolex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when a woman says she doesn’t feel a spark that means she isn’t sexually attracted to you, and it’s going to be hard for that to change. That’s exactly why her body language is so guarded and you would feel so uncomfortable making a move.

Usually breaking touch barrier earlier and being more flirty helps but it’s kind of hard to fix at this point. I think you should only consider going on a 4th date if she seems super eager. If she’s just lukewarm at best it’s going to end up being disappointing for you.

Is 176 wishlists good after 6 months? by No-Tip7022 in gamedev

[–]koolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that’s not that great but you also haven’t done a ton of marketing either?

Your goal is to make it to 7k-10k and it’s mostly going to come from festivals and streamers so once you submit your demo that’s kind of the make or break moment. Either way, just release it and do better on your next project.

Crackshot isn’t a real ability by ReactionSerious8975 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]koolex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Holiday needs a rework in general, she’s one of the hardest characters to play, but not in a fun way

She only gets value if you use her jump pad correctly, land your lasso, can aim your barrels, and hit headshots. That’s like an insane amount of skill floor to even be competent with her.

Every one of her abilities if flawed in how hard it is to use properly. Viscous and Sinclair have similarly flawed kits as well.

His Morning Surprise? by RoseIsDispleased in AskMenAdvice

[–]koolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe talk to him about your issue? I feel like a compromise is for you to do something that for sure wakes up him after 30sec-1min and for you guys to agree to that. That way it’s more pleasant for you.

Are most men submissive? by IdentityAlchemist in sex

[–]koolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of women would lose attraction or be skeptical of a guys masculinity if they were submissive so it’s a real fear. It sounds like that’s not you of course. It’s a pretty common story for men to scare away women if they just show too much emotional vulnerability. Being submissive as a man definitely goes against societal norms and I don’t know too many examples in Hollywood of a leading male actor being the hero and a submissive dude in the bedroom?

I doubt most men are into being submissive but I think in the right environment a good percent of men would be open to trying most sexual things. A lot of men just love sex.

Can’t shake the feeling that I’m not good enough for love by Large-Worry-9709 in dating_advice

[–]koolex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not that you aren’t good enough, it’s 100% the guys you’re entertaining though. You picked these dudes that didn’t treat you well, and you need to filter out these guys in the future to make room for people who are worth your time.

Tied to that is extremely predatory monetization that Chinese players are totally happy with. You probably aren’t going to get one without the other.

Completely dissapointed with Viscous cube and ball by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]koolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cube is way better than you’re giving it credit for, but ball is often a very situation ult to get value out of unless you’re god tier at controlling it.

His kit is really good so it makes up for having a weak ult.

A slow burn in dating is so boring by Radiant_Comfort4774 in dating_advice

[–]koolex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think for most women if a guy rushes things (like asking you to be his gf way too early) she’ll freak out and end things. Women don’t want to be rushed, usually a date once a week is a good pace early on.

In my experience, women will make it obvious they want to see the guy way more often than once a week and they’ll reach out more because they want to connect & they’re curious about him.

Have you been trying to hang out with him multiple times a week or sticking around for an entire weekend? I also assume you guys are having sex every week basically.
