Soccer, wide cleats - New Balance. NB runs a little wider anyway, then they do (or did when I purchased them) wide versions of the 442 cleat.

These are what I have, love these and have been going strong for a few years:

And then these for indoor:

Using wanderinglabs has helped me get reservations at campsites when it seemed almost impossible to find availablity. Taking my kids to John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park when school gets out. Keep up the good work - great service.
Re:Why isn't the internet more fun and weird? (2019) on Wednesday July 06, 2022 @12:04PM (#32002929)
I created instant.gallery (no spam, no ads, no notifications) to be a fun and weird website - the problem is getting quality sites noticed without a huge ad spend. The big funnels (twitter, google and fb/ig) have taken over.
Hi all,

Creator of instant.gallery. I've built what I hope to be a great way to view and share photo collections in VR, and it also works well on desktop and mobile. A collection of photos can easily be shared, and the viewer doesn't need to login to view. Happy to answer any quesitons and eager to hear feature requests!

Discovered via the doc below, I've used lipoker.io and blockchain.poker. Both decent and accounts/logins not required https://docs.google.com/document/d/10iOD7Wy_YU4NmkPU7ZH7YTrq...

That's really helpful (and a little depressing, reading the 0.67% conv rating for Gasketball), thanks. I was thinking of going freemium and wanted to offer IAP just for skipping ahead, or unlocking bonus features, nothing that's needed for the actual 'normal' gameplay, but seems like not the way to go to stand a chance of making decent sales. Will try and balance it I suppose.

And I'm downloading Stratosphere now! Always looking for good on screen two player games

What were your thoughts on the pricing model? I'm developing a game myself now and the way it seems things are going is freemium with IAP purchases. Why did you choose the 0.99/2.99? It's a tough choice to make

I liked the videos, but it think it would be even better to show someone actually playing it, ie. actually see the players fingers interact with game. Without this, it's sort of hard to get a handle on what the actual game mechanics are (unless that's the point and you want people to go and download to find out for themselves??)

Congrats - and nice control system as well.

Looks great. Anyone know if WebGL is ever going to be released/enabled for mobile Safari?
