My Brothers / Sisters from other misters, I have been successfully avoiding ads for around 2/3 years and wow, no regrets. Talk about a war worth fighting, life is better without. This new in-navigation ad felt specifically made for folk like us, who are almost unreachable for marketing. I did some FOSS car navigation today. Bye Gmaps :)
I have been using OsmAnd today to get ready to leave Gmaps because of this news. It was better then I remembered and my number 1 peeve was no lane preference display (for highway driving specifically), but that works now too!
I’ll miss traffic predictions and live traffic rerouting :-( Sigh, guess I’ll pay that price. I #&@$ing hate distractions during driving, and now they think I’ll allow my own phone to do that? Google is rotten to the core and the road way from them is annoying and boring. Buckle up y’all. Bring magazines.
I have been testing OsmAnd for daily use today, and I’m gonna be closing my maps presence in the coming months :-) . I was really happy how it worked and felt, very close to what I want. After some extra tweaking, it’s bound to be fantastic!
Very aggravating to see this, Modi said he was on a mission from god, so I guess his god(s) are ok with him financing killing innocent civilians and defenders against aggressors. Lot of love there, cool religion bro.
I think the crucial part is natural fanbase growth… As a solo dev, your marketing budget is gonna be so extremely tiny, and releasing with 0 marketing is setting yourself up for disappointment so, it has got to come from somewhere. Maybe EA is not a necessity, but having a steam page is. Confidently typing this while not having a steam page to show for it, but you know what the Dutch say: the best captain is ashore (de beste stuurlui staan aan wal)
It’s gonna be extremely terrifying 😅
It’s a tough line to walk. You want to create reasonable hype and you have an idea where you want to go, but as you correctly point out, it’s really easy to over promise and under deliver.
Adding to the other reply to this: You can get natural growth of fans and wishlists, you can get free media attention so your brand/gamename grows in popularity, you can receive enthusiasm from randoms about work you have been keeping to yourself for a while, which can help motivate. I mean I’m super hyped about my own videogame project, but having other people be hyped about it is very rewarding :-). I used to shun early access until they became 1.0, because I got burnt a couple times. But If the dev(s) are transparent and communication is ok, I don’t really care anymore for the same reason as this dev is pointing out: “It’s done when it’s done” is good enough in 95% of the cases for me.
Me too!
She’s throwing out the whole playbook and trying this new thing the hipsters are calling: “Nuance” . This lady has some balls, what’s next?? CONTROLLING YOUR EMOTIONS???
Ouf! Lucky for us, both our migraine severity seems to lessen over time. My brother had symptoms more like yours, speech slurring or limb movement impediment. Because theses are also seizure symptoms, we had to go to the first aid a bunch on false alarms, but luckily it was always ‘just’ a crazy migraine.
Very cool explanation, thanks! I think dramatization is the culprit here, introducing noise to the facts.
Your visualization of a type of visual aura is distinctly different from when I have them, which is very cool because another response tells us they do recognize it! Mine is more in the negative space around the ‘aura’ you shared, rotating on some pulse-timing (about half of the heart BPM ), counterclockwise (am a right-handed human), like a white bolt lightning-wave circling around the middle, covering about half the circle at any time. I’ll try and recreate the visuals sometime.
Thanks again for elaborating on this subject, you expanded my understanding :-).
Interesting find, apparently protein levels in spinal fluid vary pretty drastically after an aural migraine (where the pain comes after aura).
They say the aura’s are a reaction to total neural activity shutdown, but I have never consciously experienced that before an aura. I would expect to have deja vu after such an event
And if it was an even better product, billions would be using it. Mathematical!
Thanks a lot for sharing, i’ve wishlisted that!
Well HECK! I have been advertising this game to every gamer I know, finally a Sims game that’s not EA… :( I was very hopeful when they delayed without a new date, just take your time and get it right. Dang, I was really looking forward to this
In all the previous shooter Fallouts, you can basically use VATS to never have to aim yourself if that’s what you want to do (or melee build!), it’s like an auto-aimer. You won’t miss that much and maybe that way you can enjoy the universe.
Humanity accepts your challenge! See y’all on the battlefield ;-)
Did some basic video editing in blender and was pleasantly surprised, did you give that a whirl?
Can i get a little Tristan Pinball up in here!?
Eh, yes please! I like your POV. Nothing wrong with wanting to drive fast, but racing in traffic is :). More tracks around would make it a lot more normal to go do your thing. Yeah, I see it :-)
