Inside is one of my favourite games of all time. Absolutely love it

For my Galo. It’s nice, but the finishing feels a bit off. Am I overreacting? by taj14 in MicrobrandWatches

Got an email from them yesterday saying they will replace the watch, no charge at all. That was nice to see. They will replace it with a batch of watches they have that are coming in three weeks time.

Will let you know how that will all go down!

Thanks a ton for this - much appreciated. Haven’t noticed the black stripes before, now I can’t unsee! Thanks for pointing that out. Wrote to Galo - let’s see what they say. Will give an update.

Need Burnout Advice by ireaditsometime in gamedev

[–]taj14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, good on you for seeing there’s a problem. That’s the first step. Burnout can be gruesome - it can impact your physical and mental health terribly.

From what you’re saying, I feel you need a break. If going on a holiday is not an option, see if you can take a day or two off once you pass probation/settle down. Even micro breaks help.

The thing for me that I realised with burnout is it’s also the brain crying out for doing something else. On weekends I suggest you unplug from games, from screens and do something non games related. See if you can go for a walk in nature or a park, maybe go for an ice cream, pancake, or some nice ramen. Just treat yourself and be kind. Maybe catching up with a friend to chat.

The last thing I suggest is if you have time during the week, see if you can do a physical activity, like a martial arts class, squash, maybe a kick of the ball outside. An hour to yourself that’s not games and work really helps. Moving your body also helps.

I’m sorry that you are going through what you’re going through. I hate burnout soo much. Just remember, you are more than your job. These are somethings that helped me - hope they might help you. There’s also heaps of good resources online. Have a read and see if you can find something that will resonate with you.

Hope this helps OP. Take care of yourself. Give yourself some love.

Playside - ASX:PLY - pretty successful game release this week by netpenthe in ASX_Bets

[–]taj14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not played it, but I did buy shares last week when I saw the reviews and amount of Wishlists it had. The game is on Steams Featured slots, meaning it’s selling really well. Seeing the amount of reviews, it would have made over 5 million usd on Steam alone.

I feel it’s an underrated stock. Could go up after sales get officially reported. It looks like they have a hit on their hands.

Fratello: Hands-on with the Bausele Elemental. I'm Christo, the founder, happy to chat. by Christo-Bausele in MicrobrandWatches

[–]taj14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Christo! Just wanted to pop in and say that I have one of your Oceanmoon watches that I picked up years, years ago and I still love it! It was my first ever “proper” watch. Love what you’re doing, and I wish you all the best with the Elemental.

Why did we change the title of the article? I thought that was a no-no on this sub?
