Top Films Watched In September (Decent Film Month)

Most things fell in the 7-8 range this month, nothing super great but a lot of decent material. Primetime just missed the cut.

[Question] Realistically, can an app (mobile game) recover from low ratings early on?

I'm getting bombarded with 1 star ratings in the last couple of days and now have dropped below 3.5 stars (20 ratings) on a 2-week old app with 9-10k downloads. Not getting any feedback and I'm not sure if it's bad luck or what. Very few ads have been delivered and I only ask for feedback on a positive loop (user has played x-amount, has an all-time best score or hits the leaderboard). Maybe the feedback request is still pestering them.

I did some last minute development last night to implement a rescue mechanic and make the game a little more forgiving, but it's already quite a simple pick-up-and-play type game with low stakes.

Obviously it could just not be good or not resonate with the market, but I'm hoping my engagement efforts can turn the tides a bit. Can you realistically recover from an early downturn like this?

Never Thought I'd Play My Own Game on an RP6

Mobile/arcade games still count, right? ;)

Follow-up to 7.5 days of Production Application Hell

Got approved and published on Day 10! Thanks so much for the info and encouragement, I was feeling crazy down on myself but it really does seem like they're just congested with reviews right now. This was my first app for anyone keeping metrics.

Now onto figuring out how to promote this thing! If you want a quick and simple game to kill time, try it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chaintherainbow.game

7.5 Days of Production Application Review

Am I screwed?

I applied for production access on a very simple game (a chain react type game with some novel game modes and leaderboards). I used a paid testing service and demonstrated several legit updates of the app over the course of internal testing, based on legit feedback. I fully explained the findings, updates, and process methodology in my application.

If I'm rejected, is there a realistic path for re-submission? I have several apps queued up for this process -- I'm extremely demoralized with the current state of this attempt.

My Top Psychological Thrillers - Need More Suggestions

I can't get enough of these. I especially like slow-burn going-insane types. I feel like I find diamonds in the rough constantly, any obvious suggestions for me?

Chain The Rainbow is looking for testers, happy to do test-swaps

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chaintherainbow.game

My game is a 4-pronged take on the classic Chain Reaction mechanic. I've done a good bit of gameplay balancing but looking for genuine feedback and open to suggestions of features/gameplay modes. I have a lot of backbone knobs to change to introduce new mechanics fairly easily.

I've got the 12 Testers app and will be setting that up tonight. Hope to see you on the Play Store in a couple of weeks!

Remember When STX Was Top 30 on Coinbase?

This expensive experience led me to believe that fundamentals don't matter all that much in the crypto space. The time STX was up the most was when the South Korea and NFT-bros were gambling the most and I think that's pretty much the whole story.

Maybe the token can shine again if it gets used as gas for applications people care about, but for now even staking is not a lucrative use case. It's been fun and I'm just gonna HODL until ATH or $0, but no more investing from me. Good luck to anyone entering at ATLs, I hope you see riches in your future!

I'll Be Back (With More Lists) - My Top Arnold Flicks

Arnold is one of my favorite actors of all time. I think he is the ultimate American success story and has an underrated growth in range over his career. Obviously not all of these are critical masterpieces (see the scores on the second image) but they all have a special place in my heart.

The top 5 here are genuine must-watch films and have left legacies you see in modern Hollywood. Bottom 5 are mostly nostalgia from my childhood/teenage days. Honorable mention to Commando and The Last Stand for plain good action-romp fun.

So Much To Watch, So Little Time (My Current Watchlist)

My backlog has gotten crazy long and I've really been craving some re-watches that I haven't had time for either. Anything here I should skip? Anything I should add? I feel like I've missed some big theatrical releases for the first time in years.
