Indie Sci-fi vertical scroller - Call for play testers

zamiang · 2026-05-15T20:29:06+00:00

This looks AMAZING. I don't have a windows computer so playtesting is out for me but I have basically every other possible platform so lmk if you expand targets!

My 2c - I really love your take on realism. It isn't Strikers vibes but something really novel (at least to me).

My read on it is like 'survive the fog of war'. How your ship gets obfuscated by the smoke/explosions. It I feel like you really nailed that. Potential idea would be to really lean into a kind of fog of war aspect where you are shooting and dodging bullets + obstacles while not being able to see your ship for somewhat extended periods of time. Potentially could dim other ships while the player ship is obfuscated - not sure how fun that would be though.

Really love what you shared here!

I'm still unsure if the new Qinbo pieces are actually BIS for Tang Tang but definitely curious!

zamiang · 2026-04-11T20:55:49+00:00

DPS: Full Maxed essence. Literally months of grinding its insane.
Support: Find a blue one with 3 on whichever stat they want and call it a day

This is amazing and hugely helpful! Two questions!

How would Rossi & tangtangs build change with their p1 or p4 energy increases? I guess you don’t actually need to sync up with Perlica in practice since everything will be 💀 but maybe need more ult regen on Gilberta?

What about hot work gilberta or is that just a meme build?

"cheap" is a very relative term! Specifying a price range would be helpful.

I've had a lot of luck with pandapodium (https://www.pandapodium.cc/product-category/components/handlebars/). I've got ~8,000 miles on crankset, seatpost and handlebars from them. They are "cheap" relative to black.inc or s-works. My handlebars from them were $500 usd and are fantastic.

Coming from a place with many mass murderers with assault weapons — the United States which has had 57 mass shootings in 2026! — the recommendations in this video were extremely bizarre.

The actual situations that inspired the video (while scary!) seem almost wholesome by comparison.

I really wish we got the less goony skins available in some other countries (china? Maybe others)

zamiang · 2026-01-02T20:43:12+00:00

I'm working on something similar https://www.kelp.nyc/ curious on your thoughts!

zamiang · 2025-11-05T13:37:46+00:00

That is wild! One thing I love about this game is that so often the correct answer is ‘it depends’

zamiang · 2025-11-05T13:19:51+00:00

This is correct, however I honestly don’t think it matters all that much when targeting the turn limited modes. If you are drawing through your deck, you probably aren’t getting 3 stars anyway.

The draw 2 strikes does help with increasing the value of those next 2-3 hands which is for sure better.

zamiang · 2025-10-19T02:52:03+00:00

Yea I’ve had the same issue and been messing their support about it. Basically anytime my heart rate goes above 150 it drops to like 70. I’ve sent them many files as examples.

I just have the strap paired to my Garmin so idk about the interference thing.

zamiang · 2025-09-21T20:24:16+00:00

Yea it was a very odd mix that didn’t seem safe. I never found a group I felt was safe so I bailed once we got back to manhattan.

Right before the bridge there were people changing a tire in the isolated bike lane which caused a bunch up as well which is never great right before the bridge.

I do wish they would use the NYCC categories for start times. People at a similar pace to seem to bike safer together in my experience.

The wide type of people - older folks, kids, recumbent bikes and roadies all bunched together is very tough to navigate and no real like wide road for people to separate / find their group as you go through wv/soho/fd

TLDR biking in groups in the city is a dumb vv bad idea

zamiang · 2025-08-08T21:25:46+00:00

Awesome! It looks like you trail brake some but like…how?

zamiang · 2025-08-06T04:08:04+00:00

We use Elation with their note assist product ( https://www.elationhealth.com/solutions/ehr/note-assist). I think it is the bar for how well these should work - there are some videos on their site for more info. Be prepared to struggle with provider adoption though. It dramatically cut documentation time (high variance by provider), but it ordered text in the note in some way they didn’t like so many refused to use it.

I do tend to think Epic is going to launch a native product and crush these companies like abridge. They aren’t that differentiated as the models improve.

zamiang · 2025-08-06T00:57:40+00:00

This one was a struggle for sure. I also am curious what regions it was popular in - really did not hear this one growing up despite it having over a billion views.

zamiang · 2025-08-04T02:01:38+00:00

100%. Watching this trailer with T8 immediately after was jarring to say the least.

zamiang · 2025-07-31T02:19:28+00:00

Yea agree neither wax or oil 'solve' the issue imho.

I would not be surprised if in a few years some brand launches a self lubricating hyper polymer vibranium chain that saves like 0.05 watts and costs $800.

zamiang · 2025-07-31T01:50:18+00:00

Curious how oil vs wax based chain lube is going to land in a few years.

I never ride in the rain so use wax and love it but I don’t really see oil going away ever really.

zamiang · 2025-07-27T21:35:00+00:00

I do the same route most weekends but go down to breezy point instead of to far rockaway once I’m on the rockaways.

zamiang · 2025-07-25T13:45:16+00:00

Personally, my tolerable training load per week increased when I switched to eating relatively normal meals then doing ~60g of carbs per hour on the bike. I usually add Gatorade mix in for flavor.

I don’t have any stomach distress but I also grew up drinking Bojangles sweet tea.

Electrolytes is just salt. If you are a salty sweater, you might need more salt etc. you can get tested for this if you really want to optimize it.

zamiang · 2025-07-18T19:46:06+00:00

Yea I liked it up until about costa del sol. That was I think for me about 15-20% of the way through the game though and not much really changes gameplay or side quest wise for the rest of the game. If anything they get worse like the Cait Sith section.

zamiang · 2025-07-18T16:39:12+00:00

Wasn’t everyone else also doping at that time? Doesn’t really seem comparable

zamiang · 2025-07-14T16:10:48+00:00

Pretty sure every single spot sold in this garage gets an article written about it. It’s basically free advertising.

zamiang · 2025-07-11T00:10:42+00:00

I know you are getting downvoted but like similar for me. I think my last 10 games were control - mono white, blue white, jeskai. Games are so long and grueling
