So this is my first ever order from Discogs (and definitely my last) I made a new account on July 8th and ordered the same day, I paid with my debit card through a Paypal checkout, it went to an eCheck, so all these could be factors for the problem, the seller has been very supportive and responsive, we both don’t know what to do, I tried contacting Paypal and it takes me to an AI assistant that says you just have to wait, atp idc about my order i just want my money back.

Hey,

First time posting something i made. wanted to share with this sub specifically because i think you'll get it in a way most people won't.

i built an app called criticscale. it's eight small daily music games stitched together by one streak. one game, you hear a clip and pin it to its release year. another, you get four album covers and have to spot the real one among ai-generated fakes. another, you drop a pin on a world map for where an artist is from. there's a fast-typing music trivia blitz, a song-from-clip mode, a producer/feature guess mode. one round each, every day. takes maybe 5 minutes total.

i made it because i couldn't find anything that scratched the itch. heardle was fun for a week. all the other "le" games are single-mechanic and you burn through them. i wanted something that rewards actually knowing music — release years, regional scenes, who produced what, which mix is the real one. the kind of stuff people in this sub argue about in comment threads.

i'm a solo dev. it took months of restless nights. so much of it was metadata work — original release year vs remaster vs single, name vs stage name, which version is "the" version. i hand-curate every round. when something is wrong, a real human (me) reads the email and patches it.

it's free. no ads. no subscription wall on the daily games. ios only for now (android is on the list). i'm not trying to flood the sub with this — just genuinely curious what music people think of the rounds, and what game modes you'd want next.

if you play it and a track is wrong, or the year is debatable, or you have a mode idea — please tell me. that's the only way it gets better. i read everything.
