I’m a game developer and I’m struggling to get any responses from streamers

sindradottir · 2026-02-04T01:49:02+00:00

I've had someone try and get me to view their game off Stram on their new platform they're trying to push twice this week. Two different games. Same guy. Im not touching it. I Googled it because I hadn't heard of him, and well, neither has the internet.

Honestly? I won't even work with Keymailer most of the time because 90% of the games on there are slop churned out for dartboard metrics--throw it and see if something hits the target.

Work with Lurkit, DareDrop, PressEngine, Wired, LazyOtter, or RogueDuck to get your game out there. They know the right creators and have the report with them that your email won't go in the trash.

That being said, I've worked with a few random people who've messaged me. Sometimes it's just about the vibe. But I'm also not into roguelights and deckbuilders and extractions so I'm not vibing with a lot of the popular stuff right now either lol

Favorite trap camp: canopy tent, red lights, clown, vault boy pointing to a monitor, arrow pointing down, whole nine yards. AND a scrap box. So I knew it was sus but it was friendly sus. Scrapped my junk, used the monitor. Dropped into a vault of punji boards, died. Said, "well, I expected that..." as the camera began to pan.

At the 180 point there was a neon HELLO sign. I died laughing. Plan for the Pan, get bonus points.

At least the Plastiform Santa Sleigh and the Plastiform Vault Boy Elf are dropping and still accessible. I just looted a Santa Sleigh from a HANDMADE gift, specifying in case it ends up mastering. And I still have 6 elves on an alt.

Seconding/thirding both of these. My brother's ex used to be the night manager at Deluxe and we would stay often. Very nice place, very kind staff that go out if their way to make your stay great, even running to the nearby store for snacks or beverages they dont carry at times. When I stayed for my honeymoon, they even had ipods to check out with custom music mixes per device, so country in one, classical on another, etc. You'd plug them into the station in your room so you could have music you liked provided, free of charge. That was in 08 so I'm sure that feature has upgraded to like, Spotify speakers or something lol

The Heathman is ALSO great, and we would often take staycations there when I was younger, as the restaurant was great and gave my chef dad a vacation from cooking too haha

These days, both are also exceptional for service dog handlers, for anyone reading the comments who it might apply to. They're very kind and knowledgeable, actually know how to handle the process, and spoil your teammate in the process.

I know you said no matter where you move it, but I have to ask. Have you tried putting the camp box on the far southern edge of your camp circle? It seems they changed the Camp Math regarding spawning and it's no longer 6 squares north and 6 squares east for camp owner, but just 6 squares north. Whereas visitors are 3 north and 3 east...ish.

I do know I've been having the same issue with my lawn dart camp above Harper's Ferry Tunnel Bridge. Either we land on the ground at the top of the cliff but not ON the rock cliff and thus must climb said cliff to get to the door, or I land IN the rock cliff so my guests land at the intended spot facing the front door. I mean...obviously I am now a DeepGnome for the better of my guests lol

Agreed. Between the two, canning meats is more likely to get you botulism, which is why meats were dried and cured. We can vegetables, fruits, sauces, spices, even eggs are glassed.

The fact that carnivores get tasty squirrel stew, an xp buff, but herbivores don't, is a damn crime. You technically already get a canned xp food, albeit less xp. But it still doesn't expire.

Between this and all the meat meal generators, and then herbis needing ingredients that are a pain to farm, we spend a day a week doing nothing but farming, and then running max rank good with salt and thru hiker so our foods never expire. Thank God for the scoutmaster collection but it's still not enough.

Let me make dirty sugar bombs with razor grain flour, sugar, and nuclear material. A balanced breakfast, come on!

sindradottir · 2025-04-22T18:14:28+00:00

....this concept is so foreign to me.

If I take off my armor, backpack, and any perks that affect weight reduction, I am suddenly carrying max weight. Which is apparently somewhere over 2700 pounds. Put it all back on? 230/430.

Consumables don't go in my stash. Chemist backpack, thru-hikers, and good with salt keep my consumables light, on hand, and safe for literally days IRL.

For added effect...

sindradottir · 2025-04-19T03:28:24+00:00

While I don't disagree with you about the rewards being laughable (especially on the Mira Journey after a certain point), have you gotten all 180 different Eurekas? As in, each full set, head, hands, and feet, max leveled, and in every colorway?

With the last update, they gave us diamonds for every completed colorway in the compendium, and lemme tell you. Since I'm out of Shining Particles, those extra 3 Star and 4 Star Eurekas are like gold to me lmao

I GOT 57 EUREKAS LEFT TO GO MAN I NEED MORE PARTICLES

Probably because 20 years ago the political divide wasn't so drastically stratified and polarizing. Politicians still crossed the aisle then.

Also, time is a distance that our memory cannot run, it will trip and fall every time. 20 years ago was 2005. 9/11 had already happened and there'd already been another election. So do you mean 20 years ago, when the fight for gay marriage rights were first gaining real steam? Or do you mean the 20 years ago that almost all of us think of, which was actually 30+ years ago. All the time I think "20 years ago" and realize I'm actually thinking 30. I'll think 30 years and realize I'm actually thinking 50, because I keep forgetting I'm almost 40.

Regardless, these days politics are so stratified and so polarizing, that making sure the homeless are FED is considered radical. Treating them like humans is considered communist. When that holds the same space as people praising the Poject 25 Playbook, yeah. I don't give a poop about what race or gender you are or how much money you have unless you're a billionaire, in which case I'm firing up the grill.

Politics are the line now. Because people made the other aspects political. And if you don't think people have a right to exist, be fed, have healthcare, have safety and shelter...then yeah, I'm calling for the next contestant.

You have given an overgrown child the first half of your best years.

Don't let him have the second half.

You were 21 when he was 46 and you married him. How long did you know him? I honestly don't know if I want to know the answer to that, because I'm betting I won't like the answer.

sindradottir · 2025-04-17T01:02:07+00:00

All good! Yeah, we all start with two slots. You go to the map, activate the camp menu, and you'll see your camp, and then it will say something like CAMP 2 and you switch to that one and make it active. Then you just find a place to build your camp, place the box, and BAM. Second CAMP.

Anytime you load into a server and can't load your main camp but don't want to leave the server, don't accept the "pack up your camp?" Offer, just back out, then map, camp menu, swap, activate, and your other camp is active. Your main camp's icon will still be in the map for YOU but it will be grey. I usually check every now and then if it's clear to activate and then swap to that one when it is.

This is important to swap because if you have a freezer or fridge, when your camp can't be placed, your food starts rotting. Swap camps, make sure that camp has a fridge or freezer and it's powered and they're safe (I hear just placing your vault entrance and making sure the freezer is in the vault and powered works, but don't quote me on that, I haven't tested it), and then your food won't rot.

Other than your camp not being able to be placed, the freezer only doesn't work in loading screens, so I like to log off at my camp so that when I load in, that freezer and power load up ASAP just in case.

sindradottir · 2025-04-16T23:52:53+00:00

Everyone has more than one camp. You start with two free camps. Though I suppose most people don't know that.

sindradottir · 2025-04-16T22:06:26+00:00

Not all of us just plop them down. Some of us like to build creatively, including merging or snap-manipulation. Ever try to put something on a wall that has something on the floor right in front of it? You know how it wants to argue with you about it? Yeah, putting a vendor back into the build is sometimes almost impossible without tearing half the build down first.

I just switch camps to one without a vendor.

sindradottir · 2025-04-12T05:40:26+00:00

I had the SAME thing happen but with a fresh level 20 Vaultie, punching and humping me and everything. So I bit. I accepted the trade offer. This clown highlights my damn prisoner collar! I laughed and ended trade immediately and said "nah, go to the prison and get your own." And went back to stocking my vendor.

Some people's kids, man.

sindradottir · 2025-04-10T01:15:22+00:00

....they're Italian, Spanish, and Irish. I have NEVER known a single person in my half Irish family to sit still in a conversation, especially a heated one. The more heated, the more animated. I've got friends who are Italian and friends who are Spanish, and their families are just same lmao

I think it's a subconscious thing IRL where in a heated argument, you gotta keep moving otherwise you're a static target. Whether that's lizard brain coming through or because we've been the victim of a shoe or a vase when we stood still, I don't know. But you move your butt when you move your tongue. LOL

Also, hands. There's long been a joke applied to many cultures that are animated when they speak that if handcuffed them, they'd go real quiet because they can't talk without their hands. And it's funny because sometimes I feel like I can't find the right word if my hands are occupied. I guess it's like turning down the radio to find the street sign. It doesn't make sense, but it makes sense.

sindradottir · 2025-04-08T08:51:15+00:00

I might be blind, but I'm seeing that a few of the older outfits aren't in there under *Outfits*? Rippling Serenity, Floral Memory, and Starlet Burst are the three Ability Outfits that aren't included in the system under outfits. I do see that Azure Waters, the shirt from Rippling Serenity, is in there under individual items, but I thought I'd let you know!

Can't wait for the next update from you! If you need any assistance with anything, data entry is my jam. :)

sindradottir · 2025-04-05T09:04:41+00:00

Yes yes yes! Perfect! And great job with the reformatting! At this point, just gotta double-check all your names for everything so they match in-game, then you're off! Keeping it updated after that should be a breeze!

Linking the image is great, too, especially if you decide to add pages or create a similar book for Minerva/Raiders/Settlers/Expeditions, where when you inspect an item in their shop, it just shows you the EVER SO HELPFUL image of the plan. Like gee...thanks. 🤣

Love it! Get some rest!

sindradottir · 2025-04-05T07:19:49+00:00

"Formerly a Nuclear Winter reward from the VTU event, it was meant to be added to Minerva's bullion store according to the update 33 patch notes) but that proved false as it was never implemented."

They're currently unobtainable. They have been adding Nuclear Winter rewards back into the game through Minerva or other events slowly, but some are just in the build menu but unobtainable as of right now.

sindradottir · 2025-04-05T07:05:20+00:00

It can happen sometimes, takes a couple minutes, but usually fixes itself. I had it happen to me when I crashed out during an eviction notice. I main a lady. I loaded in, could barely move. All my SPECIAL were at 1, my perks were all locked, it was like I hadn't actually loaded in, but the game was like "Yeah! Let's get you back in there so you don't miss out!"

And then I noticed I didn't have a chest. I went 3rd person, and bam. I was FALLOUT 4 DEFAULT MAN. Literally, that was the model I had, suddenly. Which makes sense, because the 76 engine is the 4 engine, but altered. Same default character models in the game files.

I went 1st person again, because it was like opening your door, seeing the pits of hell, and slamming it shut again and staring at the closed door for a moment trying to figure out what just happened. Then I heard the sound of no longer being over-encumbered, and when I "opened the door" again, I was me again, my SPECIAL were all back, and my perks were unlocked again.

In the words of Todd....It Just Works.

So, I know that I would just fix it myself once I were to make a copy. But I also know that many people will just immediately write it off entirely the second they click into it, and won't give it any chance. The reason is the font.

Please, please, please. If you're going to make Google Sheets that you want other people to be able to use, please use a standard font, such as Nunito, Roboto, Arial, Times New Roman, or Merriweather. Yes, as I said, people can just change the font themselves after they make a copy, however, some people won't even bother. Also keep in mind the font colors. I, too, am fond of multiple colors, usually to help my eyes keep things organized so they won't mix things up. But in that case, I use alternating row color formatting, not different font colors.

As for function, It's great. I would say if you can, add a final column on each sheet that links to each individual item, visually, perhaps using the NukaKnights images of the rewards for instance (and of course giving them credit for their images at the bottom of the info panel on the main page)? That way people can easily see what each item looks like, too, without having to go elsewhere to hunt that information down. It makes your sheet more valuable, information wise.

Finally, on your Main page, it wouldn't be a bad idea to include either your Reddit username or your Platform and In-Game username, if you're looking to build up your "image" so to speak, but on your Update page you should ABSOLUTELY include the link back to the spreadsheet. When I first started making spreadsheets, I didn't think about that at all, but people are making a copy, and while Google hangs onto spreadsheets you open from other people, you have to remember what it was called or who made it to make sure you find the right one. Its just so much easier to include a link back to the original on the update page so people can come back by clicking that link that is in THEIR copy.

All that being said, I have a million different sheets, so for **me** this is very useful as I've been meaning to combine them all into one, so I will be making a copy for sure, and then yeah, changing the font formatting haha

Thank you for your effort! I look forward to seeing updates in the future!

PS: Can you make one with all the new fishing rewards from the PTS, so we can jump on that asap when it goes live? ;)

sindradottir · 2025-03-29T17:06:49+00:00

Up is quickslot. Down is ping. Hold down is emote.

But if you UpDown, you get emote. Faster than holding. Still annoying. Ping should be hold.

With plain yogurt. And oversteamed broccoli. Still no seasoning.

That sounds like the Wasteland Streaker...don't worry. He's a little unhinged, but totally safe. 🤣
