Best Tip: Find Your Motivation To Stay Fit

If you don't have the proper motivation, its a lost cause. It becomes a lot easier to stick to a routine if you know exactly why you're exercising.

Some folks simply want to look good for their own satisfaction or to attract a potential mate. If you remind yourself why you are doing this, it'll become a fun habit and you'll see the results.

For myself, I want to look good and I want to have a healthy body when I get old. I strongly encourage folks to push themselves-- but you have to start with the motivation factor first. (I think "to get healthy" is not really a motivator for some people, so just be honest with yourself and you'll build that healthy habit.)

I don't think pricing is that straightforward. If you price your game too low, buyers might think it's substandard junk and skip it. If you price it too high, then it's tougher to get gamers to commit to the purchase.

It's a delicate balance. I enjoy sales, so its an effective tool for getting attention and create momentum but I also take risks and are a lot more likely to buy indy/small developer games now then I have ever been in my life. And I like that!

Ultimately, a game develop will try to get the attention of as much as the market as possible but you gotta understand, you'll never capture everyone. Some folks love casual, some folks love small dev games, some want a budget game, some only want big developer-big games.

Yeah, I don't get the hurt feelings on how LRG does business. If you want the game, you best pre-order early. It's a limited run because no one is interested in storing unsold copies in a warehouse. The publisher doesn't want to do that and LRG doesn't want to do that.

If you're feeling "psychologically manipulated" into buying something, that's on you man. If buying an LRG release and regretting it because the game sucks then maybe someone else should handle your money.

It sounds like people are whining that LRG doesn't do business in a way that's convenient for them. Oh well. Opt out. It's a choice.

This is my first LRG game and I'm only doing this because I want to share my physical copy with a friend. Most of my 20ish Switch games are digital.
