    Having Children...Pros and Cons?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Don't have children right now, but thought about it a lot. I don't like the idea of having a child, simply because I think that there are already too many people on the planet, and especially to many children without a family. With that in mind, I just think it's better for me to adopt a child...

    Starting my own Game Development Studio

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Some tips from someone who started out in the Game Industry and then switched to something else. Try to find a team early. Even if it is just for Game Jams or something similar. What you do right now is great, but you can't always do everything yourself. Use small projects to figure out what you...

    Turning shit into money - recycling horse manure

    The "raw" manure would burn the roots of the plants. Also, the composting gets rid of weed seeds and all kinds of parasite eggs. If you want to use it on plants, you don't really get around at least 6 weeks to compost it. I didn't think about growing plants in the first place, I have to look...

    Turning shit into money - recycling horse manure

    Probably a shot in the dark, but does someone have experience with recycling horse manure? Some of my relatives own a large horse stable, up to now they gave their manure to the farmer next door, who used it as dung. Due to new laws in Europe, they have to change how the farmer keeps the manure...

    What inconvenienced you today?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Why not write the notes on the blank pages at the beginning or the end of a book? That wouldn't distract you much when you re-read (still a "clean book") and you don't need any extra pieces of paper

    Greetings from Germany

    INTRO 
    Welcome! As a fellow german software developer who never likes his own ideas, I'd love to discuss some ideas or maybe even work on something together in the future. Feel free to shoot me a message

    Best Video Editing Software for YouTube

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I would suggest OBS for recording. It's free and pretty much the whole gaming YouTube/Streaming scene uses it. For editing I heard a lot of good things about DaVinci Resolve. They have a free and paid version, but usually the free version is enough

    Experience with Instagram Pages?

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I was thinking about small side hustles I could start (<4h per week) and was wondering if anyone has experience with growing an instagram page. The focus would be on self-improvement/productivity and I would post daily. For monetization, I thought about basic amazon affiliate marketing and the...

    Fastlane Opportunities for Writers

    HOT! IDEA 
    After reading through the thread, here are my 10 cents. You mentioned that you have a email list, but most people on it seem to be from poorer countries and want stuff for free. You can see this, like already mentioned, as wrong target group for your product, or you turn that around and see it...

    How to raise fund for a mobile game around 75k?

    EXECUTION 
    At this point they could also just go for a kickstarter campaign. That would show them if there is a large enough customer group, they would get the money to develop the game, and have sold copies as pre-orders. Rewards and stretch goals for games are also pretty simple and cheap to implement...

    Buy to rent US vs EU

    REAL ESTATE 
    Quick background info: I currently live in Germany, and I have about 30k€ I saved up over the last year. My current apartment is super cheap and there is no reason to buy a similar apartment in the area. I was looking at apartments to buy in Germany, but tbh the average rent is just way too low...

    Finally made that million. A Self-Publishers Story...

    EXECUTION 
    Really great story. Do you have any pointers for people you just started out writing for a fellow German? I'm more in the fantasy genre and did some studying on my own, read On Writing, and watched Sanderson's course on fantasy writing. Are there any good german resources too? I don't mind...

    Doing it for fun

    INTRO 
    Hey there, I'm not sure how to introduce myself, but here I goes nothing. I read the books I while ago, after making a deep dive into personal finance, FIRE, and the whole early retirement topics. I'm probably an odd exception here, because I work full-time and enjoy my job. It's just that it...
