I really want revolt to succeed due to Discords horrendous gate keeping and privacy issues.
I convinced a few friends to use Revolt but it’s in a bit of a feature lull. You can’t ring folks when you make a call, our calls often dropped without any indication (and required reopening to fix), and the input/output constantly had issues with selection. This doesn’t include a myriad of other smaller bugs I encountered. These were all the same bugs and UX issues I encountered in 2023 when I tried it then.
Gonna keep an eye on it and keep using it but I’m hoping with Discords enshittification more devs will be able to contribute.
They were great for light scratches and buffing out blemishes, it came with this solution spray and the wheel was basically just a buffer pad that wiped center out while rotating the disc. But anything beyond a light scratch was pretty much DOA.
How much were you charging? How did you advertise? Word of mouth?
I’m just curious. I sold warheads in elementary school. For a quarter a piece at first then down to nickels and dimes as people ran out of quarters. I think I just wanted to see how much I could sell by making different deals. As an adult I hate haggling though.
That’s a good profit margin. By the time I was trying to get extra weed money, I was “extracting shareholder value” when I was working at Wendy’s. There was more opportunity working the drive thru.
yeah, but that’s a whole generation after this. most games were colorful by then. especially once hdr started to come around.
games like crysis 3 and far cry 4 really helped break the trend.
I’d say crysis is almost the exact inflection point. look at it, it still has a lot of that brown aesthetic, but it’s colorful and has bright skies and giant lens flairs. the lens flairs especially became part of the norm moving forward.
Square Enix literally has this in FFXIV and it’s half of what Blizzard wants for their mount ($42 USD). And at least the FFXIV whale mount has in-world lore history and isn’t just an overt cash grab.
I completely disagree with the top comment. Dont worry about the main game.
I advocate that you go in with the mindset that you are a part of an old and important guild, and that the main story is just an extension of your every day job of being a Witcher. The “side quests” are unbelievably good. So good that half of them have better stories than entire video games and series. I didn’t bother with the main story (only in parts, organically). I just wandered the country side and “did the job of a Witcher”. There is sooooooooo much to this game. Also, get the DLC’s.
One word of warning however. The power scaling is somewhat broken. If you over-level before moving forward, the game can get pretty boring only because the enemies become trivially easy to beat.
