I've seen you post a lot about this project, which leads me to believe that you are excited about it and want others to be excited about it too. That being said, if you want other people to be excited about your work, you're going to have to change your approach to this project. Hopefully the feedback below is of some help.

  • When showing your program to programmers, they can generally appreciate when you are showing genuine effort to try to learn something and you say so. Your posts seem to mainly focus on bugs you've fixed, but not how you fixed them or takeaways you've made from them. For example, when I started programming in JS, I learned why strongly typed languages are easier to use - I switched something from an array to an object mid development and paid the price for doing so. You have a recent post talking about how you fixed a bug with your calculator app, but you don't say what you did at all. Basically everybody has made a calculator app and they're typically not very interesting. Tell us what you learned from the programming process of it and then maybe you'll get more people's attention.
  • Again, when showing your program to other programmers and you link to your repository (GitHub), they expect you will use it in a way that makes sense, even if it's somewhat unconventional. The whole point of Git is to track your changes when you fuck something up while programming something at 1 AM when you definitely should've just gone to bed... but you just seem to be using it as an alternative to Google Drive, which doesn't make any sense at all. Just use Google Drive if you want to host the ISO on the internet. Host your source code and let me giggle at your snarky comments, let me read through the changes you made, reverted, and got excited over in your commit messages. There are some excellent, free resources and YouTube videos that will teach you how to use Git + GitHub, and will hopefully give you a better understanding of why programmers use it over something like Google Drive.
  • Posting about this over and over again in multiple communities doesn't make me more excited for this project, it just comes across as spam.

Good luck!

I didn’t realize this finally came out. The Steam reviews are not looking great at all.

This reminds me of an old couple who lives about a block or so away from me. They have 2 lawn cameras that photograph every car and every pedestrian that goes past their house. And I don’t think a single crime has been reported in our quiet neighborhood in probably over a decade.

Yes, he has directed a few films now that have been received very positively.

Totally not vibe-coded at all

For those wondering what QBJ3 is (because I didn’t know.)

Quake Brutalist Jam III is a megalithic community project more than a year in the making. It features an entirely new arsenal, a set of new monsters, new powerups, and a complete visual overhaul of Quake's existing roster.

Not sure what he did wrong

Ah, yes, the only thing that makes dog barking more annoying is when the human is barking too.

“Bad Reggie! No! No!”

Which, in fairness, there are plenty of. I have seen 2 presentations this week at work where they were 1. Obviously AI-generated and 2. Obviously not proofread or changed at all.

Sorry, I know that this isn’t a helpful post, but I love how that screenshot looks like it’s straight out of 2010.
