You do get other types of “claws”, them being magnets, tentacles, harpoons and maybe more with their own unique traits.

I see what you mean though. There’s a lot of RNG involved and you can’t really improve your clawing game other than aiming for the best.

To me, this is less of a gripe and more part of how I am expecting roguelites and roguelikes to behave.

• Your health is low. Do you have any potions, or food?

Same game, when you made the Guild Master drunk:

• I never forget faces, but in your case I’ll make an exception hic

Paraphrasing there, don’t remember the exact quote.

• It’s dangerous to go alone, take this

That is fair. Perhaps controversial but I had something similar with Balatro. But maybe I’ve just played too much poker in the past, who knows.

Will streamers play it? Will people buy it? I have no idea and no way to know really…

You can influence some of this directly, but yeah, there will be a lot of unknowns.

In the end of the day I just want to say I did my best and worked as hard as I could.

Valid and healthy goal! I do want to add: you can’t do everything yourself. Don’t be afraid to lean on your network to get help where possible. You can fill in some of those unknowns with resources from the indie scene, but that will also take time, effort and sometimes money.

Congrats on 7k!

7k wishlists doesn’t directly translate to sales, but it can give you a good indication. Still, it’s good to be aware of the risks, and the consequences of this new, temporary life balance.

Please keep taking care of yourself!

The Outer Worlds is the non-fantasy, single player, action RPG. Outer Wilds is the one you are thinking of. I can’t really put that to a genre, other than Outer Wilds is just art.

released in June, less than 6 bucks, only 1 review.

I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s hard being an indie dev it seems.

You guys get lists?

Building a thriving community may improve gaming, increase engagement, and offer priceless support—regardless of your experience level as a streamer. Let’s look at some useful tactics and tips in this post to assist you in building an engaged and active gaming community.

So this is an ad for the website the blog is written on, I take it?

With Yostream, gamers can stream directly from their browser without zero concerns about clunky setups and laggy streams.

Ah, there it is.

So 2 out of 50 games aren’t really improved, aka 4%.

Turns out you can’t just throw better hardware at every game to make it run better, who would have thought.

Yeah what the fuck. It listens in to your conversations and alerts when you it detects a potential scam.

Follow the source of this article (in this case Polygon, yuck) and you will find the original info:

It’s seeking $150,000 for each alleged violation of Nintendo’s rights outlined in the Copyright Act and $2,500 for each alleged violation of the Copyright Act’s anti-circumvention and anti-trafficking provisions. Alternatively, Nintendo also could elect to take “actual damages,” i.e. money it’s lost, and Keighin’s profits, “in amounts to be proven at trial.”

The key here is $152.500 per infringement. So if he streamed at least 50 times in the past two years, that’s $76 million at least.

And that falls straight back into “normalcy” (for Nintendo).

Yeah he’s got balls. Also an idiot, but still.

According to the document, Keighin sent a letter to Nintendo in late October “bragging that he has ‘a thousand recorded channels’ to stream” and that he will continue to use them.

Don’t think he was intimidated

You right, my thoughts trailed and I added that last bit even though it didn’t have to do with it, idk why.

Weird. In the West, we’ve been welcoming small(er) but interesting, unique or otherwise impactful games regardless of its size. Complaining about Warzone taking up 250GB on your hard drive and stuff. And that was 2020.

I rarely downvote but this deserves one.

If you want to be able to edit and delete comments from others you might want to look at hosting your own website where you can rule however you like.

It’s not even their progress, it’s the percentage of all the people that have access to the game: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/2884590/achievements. So it’s probably worse

I mean, it’s like a hobby. If you are unlocking them with a program you’re just cheating on yourself. If you feel like you need to cheat to make yourself feel better about something that doesn’t impact anyone else, then I think you should reflect a bit on that and ask yourself why you wanted it in the first place.

But that’s just like, my opinion, man. It doesn’t really harm anyone in the end. I just think achievements are used as carrots on a stick, exploiting the human psyche of “number go up = dopamine” to make the player think the game has more value than it does, or is “worth the price” because you got so many hours out of it (grinding for those last shitty achievements).
