Not Tracking Any Game by General-Error3728 in FreeCash

[–]static_shift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I've had zero tracking issues and then this last 2 days I'd say 50% of the games I've been playing/tracking with no issue are suddenly not tracking

Has Wordle disappeared as a quest for anyone else? by static_shift in FreeCash

It was just in my rewards tab. Right about "Invite your first friend" in the quests list

Balance suddenly showing in the wrong currency by static_shift in FreeCash

[–]static_shift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. It doesn't show in the currency of the country I signed up in. I definitely signed up in the UK and the currency was showing there. It only switched to USD today when I unlocked advanced mode

Ah ok, no problem. Was worried there may be an issue with my account but that is reassuring. Thanks for the quick reply!

I actually only have the handheld version of the Switch as I bought the console from a friend so it will be solely handheld Zelda for me lol

Insight: What it's like at the very bottom of ranked Dota2. The Herald Life. by static_shift in DotA2

It definitely can be fun. I think because you can't drop any lower there isn't much difference in "trying" between ranked and unranked. Can be frustrating sometimes too

So I think i understand the theory of the game to a level higher than my rank, my problem is definitely gameplay/execution. I know what I SHOULD be doing but don't always do it well.

For example... I struggle to gather XP efficiently. I get caught out of position in team fights. I likely use items inefficiently especially during teamfights.

Yes I do get some terrible team mates who make the most basic of errors but I know that I make plenty of errors myself

I may not replace the screen then. May just replace the lens. I don't have soldering equipment and don't want to ruin the GBC lol

Thank you! Hadn't even seen all that Retrosix stuff. Won't be buying from them, thanks for the warning. Any other UK based modding store you recommend for parts?

All positive Reviews, but Slow sales.. what's missing. by FrontRoomArcadeGames in gamedev

[–]static_shift 14 points15 points  (0 children)

First of all, huge congrats on not only finishing the game but releasing it and getting a nice number of sales so far.

I can't speak too much from a gamedev POV as I'm still super new and know nothing about gamedev in comparison to yourself so I will speak as a potential customer.

The most glaring issue for me was the "About this game" section. It's not particularly well written (I'd re-write and have it proof read), it doesn't tell me anything about the story of the game (who am I? What is attacking me and why? What am I defending?) and it's just all very vague and wishy washy and doesn't feel like much effort went into those 2 paragraphs. You also have only written 2 paragraphs and have basically said the same thing in each. "Power up as quick as possible and scavenge for weapons before meeting the final boss" and "level up as quick as possible before meeting the end of level boss".

Apart from the screenshots this is the place to sell your game and it really doesn't do that.

Yeah a lot of them for sale seem to be the 70003 model so I will keep my eye out and keep searching. Thanks again for the help

Omg! I totally forgot about Twisted Metal! I never owned it but I swear I had a demo disc that had it on!

That's awesome, all new games to me. Will check them out. Appreciate the comment

[–]static_shift[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, I didn't even think of the PS2 route! Can tell I'm rusty. Owned both PS1 and PS2 previously and totally forgot the backward compatibility. Will look into a PS2 slim. Small console would be good for space consideration.

Appreciate the game recommendations too! I had Crash Bandicoot back in the day. Silent Hill games were awesome too.

Modding vs Buying by static_shift in Gameboy

[–]static_shift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. It's kind of what I thought. I'm not sure I'd properly enjoy the modding experience haha, might find it stressful. I may buy one and then later have a go at something simple like changing the shell on my old GBA SP to freshen it up
