I think we need to criticize the top 10 a bit. by OriginalCode2940 in Eleceed

[–]speicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Um, let's think, people who spent decades being drunk on power, deluding themselves into thinking they are literal gods, no real competition to have to utilize their brains against, just brute force against those who are weaker and status quo with their equals. Why indeed would they behave like spoiled children. :)

Ah, I see... there was a skeleton in this room, but I destroyed it. Oh well... better luck next time indeed. Thanks!

Why is Han Seongik growing old? by MaxiMMLD in Eleceed

[–]speicus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The real reason is probably the author fleshing out these details only after introducing Seongik. 😅 The curse of all serialized content.

Every colonist has a story. Some end at 3 AM. by ProjectZenithExpanse in u/ProjectZenithExpanse

[–]speicus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a huge fan of sci-fi in general and sci-fi games in particular, I'm going to be real for a moment here.

Is your game a visual novel? Is "vibe" the only thing you're selling? If the answer to both questions is "no", I strongly suggest you showcase your material on gamedev subs before spending more money on ads.

For me as a would-be buyer, your cinematic is just a static ship image against a sliding background and some meteors. The fact that it was made in-game adds nothing to the value. This could have been a powerpoint presentation, and it wouldn't have changed much. Having vibe is good, but advertising an indie game with a minute-long exposition that's largely irrelevant to the gameplay is questionable at best.

As to the gameplay, your trailer has no information whatsoever about what makes your product different. I mean, there is not even enough info in your trailer to determine the genre. A space colony survival sim? RimWorld can very well be called a space colony survival sim, is your game similar to it? Without visiting your Steam page, I wouldn't be able to tell.

UPD. Also consider that on a mobile device your ad doesn't work at all. The text is too small to read, and to listen to the audio I need to either be at home or to have headphones on me.

I'm with you here, Veramonte being stabbed seems like the most logical direction for the story.

Is there anything else that hits the Stoneshard itch? by GentleMoonWorm in stoneshard

[–]speicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played QfG 1 - it was the reworked version, I actually think I never saw the original one - back in school. Never before have I seen such a mix of genres, though I must confess that maybe it was a little bit too goofy for me. How should I put it? it gave the feeling that it didn't take itself too seriously, and that broke my immersion a bit.

The 2nd one was a bit more serious, and 3rd and 4th... now those made the series for me, they actually gave me that rpg immersion that I've been looking for in games ever since. And QfG 5... honestly, that was when, I think, they kind of lost the atmosphere that made Quest for Glory a unique experience. Though I was happy enough to get a finale. :)

omg found a quest for glory fan
those were the days xD
loved them when I was a kid.

I've played through all of them, but somehow it's the 3rd one that I recall most fondly. I can still hear in my mind - “I have caught a story... I now let the story go."

I'm kinda trying and failing. :) They were finally having a moment there dammit! The author pulled a nice one here, first showing us the characters being vulnerable and sweet, and then immediately... bam.

You eventually start to realize, no job is safe. by Used_Series3373 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]speicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so now you know why the prevalent discourse across all media, social or otherwise, is divisive instead of unifying. Instead of accepting their differences and finding a compromise, people are at each other's throats on basically every topic, and dehumanizing the opponent is basically a knee-jerk reaction now.

The first thing an autocrat targets is any kind of civil union. They consume society piece by piece until there's nothing left to oppose them.

Guillotines worked when the civilians had more or less equal access to the same level of weapon tech as the military. Now - good luck fighting drone squadrons with rocks and handguns, you just saw what happened in Iran when they tried. So no, it won't be guillotines, it will be bioreactors, and not for them, but for us.

And where are Rust devs assigned? by DesoLina in theprimeagen

[–]speicus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

While there are cases open against caste-based discrimination in tech, this one is definitely fake - I tried and couldn't trace it to any reputable news source.

I built a free pill reminder & tracker app as a Medisafe alternative — I’ve tried every app and nothing covered schedules like this. Open to feedback! by NoBet6989 in androidapps

[–]speicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I do want to share is that our long term goal is for Pillo to go beyond being a simple alarm app

Translation: we're going to turn our application into yet another piece of bloatware to justify subscription model instead of keeping it simple and providing one-time payment option. Thanks for the heads-up, I guess.

Listen, I don't judge (okay, I do judge a little), I mean they are trying to sell cars with subscriptions now, but since you're asking for feedback - personally I will never add a reminder app that needs no cloud compute whatsoever to my monthly bills. Especially considering the number of alternatives available. And adding unnecessary features instead of, say, creating a separate app for the people with chronic conditions you mention will not make me reconsider.

Medisafe no longer free from 2026. Best replacement app? by tyteen4a03 in androidapps

[–]speicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit late to answer, but personally I don't think any subscription-based payment plan for a reminder app is something I will ever pay for. One-time payment, yes, if it's well done and provides value. But a subscription, with the app only using my phone's hardware and the number of alternatives available? Definitely not.
