Yeah, I know you are right. Just makes me sad.

Yikes, going to pass on that.

Interesting, how did you get in contact with them? Did you have some marketing that worked better for you?

This is really thoughtful advice. I super appreciate it. I don’t know what to do, I’ve had a lot of fun making stuff to solve peoples needs, but this year it’s all dried up and I’ve been spending the reserves to get into shows, pay for marketing etc…

Maybe I’ll just put everything on pause for a long time.

Yeah there have been a few tables with that no commercial license stuff. For sure.

Hah, when you put it that way… But no, it still has some repeat customers, that buy custom trophies, I’ve got a customer wanting me to make molds for them to use for jewelry making, the etsy shop has close to 1000 sales and like 250ish 5 star reviews.

But I’m guessing with a statement like that, you aren’t someone motivated to build on that and take it to the next level

Ok, I just purchased BeamNG and Automation - Thje car company tycoon game (In Early access which I generally avoid, but made an exception). Can’t wait.

I may DM you when I get going. I’ve got a busy weekend coming up but I want to pick a game and get going.

I haven’t heard of project motor racing, but I’ll take a look. Thank you

I actually have my summer car, by just never got into it

I haven’t even heard of this game, great suggestion.

I didn’t even think about trying to emulate. What does it take to do ps3 emulation? Would it run in the steam deck?

Oh, that sounds perfect! Thank you

Love it. I’ll check it out!

K, but that ice cream is delicious… So…

Running /e and Google wallet does not work

Of course, tag my username if you want, reach out anytime. Who knows, maybe we play in the same area.

I hear you… Man I hear you… I’m more an attacker but what I’ve found is that I’d rather play with like minded individuals that we all enjoy eachother. We don’t win most of our games anymore but we do still score goals and win games. They know that putting direct balls at my head means I’m going to let it go by. But one I can sprint on? Yeah baby, it’s a footrace. If you play center back, consider playing as a target forward. A lot of the same skills, but instead of running at players, you’re more back to goal, hold up play… Bringing your teammates into play. Finding that clutch through ball for the winger.

If you want to continue this conversation on a regular basis, I’m super up for it. We’ve got 50+ERS on our team and at this very moment I’ve been out for two months due to a back injury. You are not alone and I can help navigate.

As someone about to hit late 40’s I can give some applicable advice here. I manage two over 30 teams, a coed and a mens team. I play on both and pick up games when invited. I’ve had a long list of injuries but always come back.

You do need to change how you play, the competitive part has to drop down a bit, basically let the younger peeps have those 50-50 balls, don’t go for headers that have any kind of pace, avoid contact with players you know are willing to injure you.

But most importantly, go to physical therapy and collect the appropriate workout. Hit that workout 3-5 times per week and don’t stop. If you can’t get your workouts in, don’t play that week.

Prusa XL is legit good.
