@beniduboss I gotta say I love your Linkedin profile

After 5 years on this app it’s time for me to do what I thought I’d never do: doxxing myself Apparently it wasn’t very professional to have an obscure pfp and a fake identity as I spoke with investors and other founders, so here we are All this time my username was my first and last name lol Here is a selfie I just took so that you get the full doxxing experience:

@GiusCaminiti Have you thought about having multiple difficulties for the player to choose?

Player feedback is one of the most valuable things you can have as an indie gamedev, but it is also one of the hardest things to interpret. How and when do you know whether you should listen to it and when you should not? For a long time now, one of the main complaints about my game has been the difficulty. I have adjusted it a lot over the past year, and it can probably still be adjusted further. Still, my vision for the game, and the design behind many of its systems, is for it to be challenging. Now I have reached the hard part: some players complain that it is too difficult, others say it is too easy, and even in posts where people ask me to make it easier, there are many others asking me not to change it because they like the current difficulty and feel it is part of what makes the game stand out in the genre. So the real challenge is... where do you go from here? It is definitely part of the job as a developer, but it is not always easy to know when to say “the game is fine like this” and ignore the few negative reviews and comments that are hard to deal with. So yes, player feedback is incredibly valuable, but having judgment, knowing how to interpret it, and deciding how to act on it is just as important!

@itsalejandrolr Good question, wasn't blocked on my android phone

@calfurdev how did you enable pasting?

AI content is ruining the internet. I built a little tool that proves human authorship of written content. It tracks every keystroke with timestamps, stores the data encrypted, and gives you a link you can share with anyone. I wrote this manually, and you can check the proof in the first reply.

@itsalejandrolr I see the potential. For me distribution would be the hardest part I guess. A bit of a network effect thing maybe. Good luck if you give it a try!

Yeah, there are a lot of MCP directories The problem is most of them don't host them, so you have to run them locally and manage credentials individually for each vendor. The idea I had is a platform to host tools for AI agents that you can call with just one API key. These tools can be MCP servers, APIs, or any other protocol. First-party tools only at the beginning, then opening it for third-party devs. Owning billing and auth. Classic marketplace play taking a cut from usage.

Me: I had an idea, but I need to give you context for you to understand it. Gf: Tell me in one sentence, maybe I understand. Me: A marketplace for hosted MCPs. Gf: Okay, leave me alone.

I found mcpmarket.com, mcp.so and mcpservers.org from a quick search. I'm not sure though, whether they also provide endpoints. In my opinion MCP is a bit of a risky bet right now. Because since LLMs got smart enough to use CLI and API tools some big companies are turning away from it (see Perplexity). But if you have an app doing something valuable you don't have to care whether it's accessed over an API or MCP I guess.

@calfurdev think Apify but for AI tool calls. I only found one company doing this

@GGasdfweb @0xaporia Creating a business or even investing in the right one is something where I can influence the outcome. Participating in the lottery or gambling my net worth by clicking on a button doesn't make me proud of what I have achieved.

@calfurdev @0xaporia Most fortunes and hig net worths are not earned by yourself... Most bussiness and corporations you create leverage your capital . That is the only way to make fortunes ... You can do it with your own limited time but the results will be ALWAYS limited to 24hs x day

If you could press a button that has a 50/50 chance of doubling your net worth or halving it. How many times would you press it? (put your reasoning in comments pls)

@IterIntellectus I guess they buy the distribution, not the product itself

what? moltbook was vibecoded in a weekend, hyped for a week, most of the interactions turned out to be fake, and meta just acquired it? what are they even doing over there

@Jbm_dev 28$ or 88$, depending on how much coding I do in the month. I'm saving >10h a month I think so it's worth it. t3chat + Cursor

what's your honest monthly spend on AI tools right now? under $20 $20 to $100 $100 to $500 more than $500 is it worth it?

@felixturner Wow with a demo, amazing!

I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below 👇 #threejs #webgpu

@shikaku_maru_ke Oh that reminds me of the days I struggled with the Rive react native integration. At least the v0.2 integration is out now which looks like a big improvement to me.

If you are building an Expo app and want to use Rive in it, make sure to: 1. Stick with SDK 54, Nitro 0.34.1 and Rive library at 0.2.7. 2. Pin your Xcode image to "macos-sequoia-15.6-xcode-16.4" to all profiles in the eas.json file. 3. Check expo-build-properties: ["expo-build-properties", { "ios": { "deploymentTarget": "15.1" } }] This will ensure a proper build on EAS.

There is not too much text on 5 screenshots so I thought I could implement localization once the idea is validated. But I didn't know that there is already an algorithm surfacing the store page before the game is released? If there is a boost on the initial store page launch then localization sounds quite essential.

@calfurdev I assume that would hurt wishlist velocity, and the algorithm flywheel. But also, it's a lot harder to localize a game after the fact. Right now, when I add a new dialogue line, I make it in all languages right away. Having to dig through thousands of lines later would suck.

Some of you may be thinking about launching your own Steam games in the future. I'll walk you through what I've learned.🧵

@beniduboss So you waited with buying a laptop? I remember you were asking about M4 months ago

Hold on WTF Apple released the MacBook Pro with the M5 chip right but something doesn’t make sense lmao So the M4 Max upgrade to max out ram at 128gb was 1200CHF The same upgrade on the M5 is 1000 CHF “Why are you complaining for Apple is making things cheaper for once” Brother have you seen the price of RAM over the last few months? That’s lowkey impressive from Apple and I hate to say it Lol remember the GPU shortage of 2017 when all you donkeys decided to start mining eth all of a sudden? Guess as it turns out that was a shortage for ants lol Anyhow, yes baby you should buy the maxed out version because you definitely need it and will use it to its full potential <3

@edouard_iosdev @levelsio I had no issues so far with that, flying from Malaysia to Philippines to Taiwan to China. Not even any questions asked.

how do you guys travel with creatine? kinda worried what people may think seeing white powder in my bag. cc @levelsio any experience to share?

@Jbm_dev @t3dotchat making fun of their founder @theo all the time (I guess both accounts are run by him)

what’s the coolest or most unique marketing tactic you have seen?

@beniduboss Sounds not too bad tbh, 8/10

@calfurdev 1/10 give me your rating I think I did well

I saw this dude tonight at a restaurant He recognized me and sent me a 215 chf bottle of wine I’ll tell my grand children about this story and the poker story so they know their grandpa wasn’t just a nerd

@beniduboss what did you end up doing? just regular dinner date?

For the real ones who read all of my tweets It was during the date with my first girlfriend from high school Let me tell you that earned me a lot of points Lord was with me tonight, let you guess what happened given it’s 6:30am and I am typing this on a Saturday morning
