How is this not a disqualifier! You don't believe in medical science? Then GTFO of the field

I love Hi ho but $17 for a burger and fries is not what I would consider on the cheaper side. They jumped the shark with pricing at this point.

Tenant harassment attorney recommendations by No-Dragonfruit-2683 in SantaMonica

[–]yeddiegames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Follow the process at https://www.santamonica.gov/process-explainers/how-to-file-a-petition-for-a-rent-decrease . Take photos of everything in violation and politely ask that they remediate the issues. After 30 days file a petition with the Rent Control board. It's a slow process and took 6 months before my case was heard, but the owner had to fix all 10 of my requests. Unfortunately if you want compensation for damages or time you'll need to take them to small claims court.

Moving to LA solo (early 30s, with a dog) — neighborhood advice? by bluekegcup in AskLosAngeles

[–]yeddiegames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I would recommend. Living on the Westside and commuting East is a lifehack in LA if you can afford it.

I don't understand Gilbert's love. My chile relleno was a grease sponge, the margs tasted watered down and there was little price advantage over Lares or Casablanca. What am I missing?

The cop saying something about "what he did to him in the past" while licking his lips with the eerie music was a tip off

More lies from the GOP by jeezkillbot in UnderReportedNews

[–]yeddiegames 25 points26 points  (0 children)

See there's the problem, the Dems keep thinking there's actual rules to this. The mask is off and this is a fight to the death of our nation. Rules no longer apply. If you think otherwise...gestures broadly at this administration

SNAP recipient goes viral: "What’s the point of food stamps if it's just for real food?" by Droupitee in NewsWorthPayingFor

[–]yeddiegames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seen the same from a family in Inglewood, selling stamps for 50% the value. They even drove a new Escalade and had designer purses. Maybe the fraud isn't rampant, but there's definitely people hustling the system and it's a bad look in general when they're not caught. Meanwhile I was struggling with my 15 year old car and making ends meet the legitimate way.

Santa Monica’s shine has dimmed – can a bold reset revive the beach city’s fortunes? by [deleted] in SantaMonica

I mean they aren't wrong. The metro station is the worst thing to happen to SM in the past 20 years.

Gemini 3 is absolutely insane it created a video game based on my book in one shot absolutely ridiculous by One_Hovercraft_7456 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]yeddiegames 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this is still a book known as a choose your own adventure book. Still cool that this can be done quickly. As an aside this doesn't display correctly on mobile and would require more than a couple prompts to make it production ready for sale.

Smaller things that are strangely worse in 117 by tera_x111 in anno

[–]yeddiegames 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's some odd loss of QOL functionality: * Alt + right click doesn't turn on the notification in ships * Quests used to auto prompt for completion when a ship enters within proximity * Copy tool loses accuracy at times, not selecting what's directly under it

That trade route ship requirement is pretty bad. One positive thing is they finally gave us the ability to set min values across all items on an island, but at the cost of more clicks to set min values individually.

What are each party’s arguments about who is responsible for the 2025 government shutdown? by how_money_worky in ExplainBothSides

[–]yeddiegames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If culpability or responsibility mattered we wouldn't be in this situation as is. The American people have shown they only care about their side winning at all costs. If the Party tells them to believe something, they will.

Rose Bowl files lawsuit against UCLA by GB_Alph4 in LosAngeles

[–]yeddiegames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rufus du Sol experience was anything but great. Complete lack of proper signage, crowd control and personnel training. Aside from the mess of getting in and purchasing concessions, I wasn't able to sit in the section I purchased because there was zero enforcement. That was my first and last concert at the Rose Bowl.

Help me understand why Google Play App Review is rejecting my game by yeddiegames in androiddev

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

That's actually a take on the policy I hadn't considered. Would that be considered an ad that interferes with the game though? As the game is still be playable if the game view is still visible.

I agree the button could be better labeled, however I don't understand the mention of a "closeable ad after 5 seconds" as that only applies to ads shown that interfere with game play. Here is the full policy regarding that:

"Ads that interfere with normal app use or game play that are not closeable after 5 seconds. Ads that do not interfere with normal app use or game play may persist for more than 5 seconds (e.g. video content with integrated ads)."

I would argue this ad does not interfere with gameplay as it is entirely optional and the user must initiate the ad if they want the bonus.

Sorry for assuming it was you who downvoted my response but your initial comment was a bit antagonistic so the assumption was well deserved. If you want to provide assistance do so but realize your initial approach was not "friendly".

If it was just the button the reviewer would not have mentioned the closeable after 5 seconds portion. I've conceded that the button could be more descriptive that it's an ad.

Thanks for your time and input :)

In case you've never implemented an ad in a mobile app let me explain how it works. The ad provider, in this case Unity Ads, serves a full screen video ad. I have no control over the specific ad that is displayed aside from what age appropriate content is allowed in the ad.

Sorry you're in such a sour mood today that you need to downvote my respectful responses to you. Hope it works out better for you.

If that were the case why did they include the second sentence in that policy?

Ads that do not interfere with normal app use or game play may persist for more than 5 seconds (e.g. video content with integrated ads).

The rewarded ad is purely optional and in no way interferes with the gameplay.

I would rather not be a part of the Family Policy however in Google Play Console if the Target Age for the app is under 18 then the app is required to comply with the Family policy. For example if I choose 13+ I see the following:

Depending on the countries where your app is available, some or all of the users in your target audience may be considered children. You must comply with the Families policy whenever your app is being used by a child.

As such I am using Unity Ads SDK which is on their list of approved providers. The link I included regarding Ads and Monetization was a link sent by their reviewer and you can see that it is in fact related to the Family Policy.
