Hi there!I recently released my first application to Steam. Its purpose is to keep track of your gaming time, let you set weekly gaming goals and flexible daily play limits. Warn you visually while you are in game if you are approaching to your limit to make your aware including enforcement of your limit if you don't choose to extend your game session as well.I would be happy to hear your...
Thank you very much! My feeling is also similar to yours, that is why I initially purely focused on Steam platform though even for Steam platform our audience is kinda niche I feel like but let's see what the future will bring.
That is a very good point. Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, I am aware of this drawback, I have plans to address this point at later stages but for the initial phase I wanted Sentinel Signal to be really focused on solving core problem very well for Steam gamers and work right out of the box with no need to do manual tracking.
At some point I will probably expand game detection to other platforms but I will ensure that it will have extremely high accuracy before doing so.

Hi everyone! I've been working hard to deliver my application to Steam and now it is released!Its purpose is to help you better manage your gaming sessions. It can automatically detect when you run your games, track the gaming time, let you set weekly gaming goals, a gaming session limit and send you visual and audio notification when you are close to your gaming limit. You can also flexibly...
Unfortunately you're right. Including the last part.
Why do you think the southern hemisphere is mostly ignored? genuinely curious.
At this point, is there any device left we could not make a web server yet?
Agreed. Nonetheless a very cool project which i hope touches the rest of the continents.
Actually happy to see something very niche that i was taught in school.
Right so to my understanding of what you just said, This means that it most likely wasn't from earth because of the origin location correct?
Hm i see. And in a situation that i see someone mentioned that there were plenty of teachers but aren't able to be funded adequately or were attracted to the new better wages. Seems like a tough situation that I'm not sure has a solution.
yeah i see what you mean. There are only trade offs.
by " Online discussion is a different tool for a different job." could you elaborate on that.
Oh yeah ive never heard of this city effect but it does make sense. And to your other point i do see a lot of bonding over hate or negativity and i wouldn't blame that on social media. Just people being irrational and irresponsible.
Well if you think about it the most effective corruption is the one not being "caught" which will most likely be going on in more sophisticated and developed countries i presume.
This is insane tbh. Although i think we should view every politician as corrupt and dirty by default lol i sympathize with nepal this sucks man. (Thanks for the reply btw)
Has the country always been this corrupt? Has the corruption progressively risen or was it a drastic change? to openly plot is wild imo.
The dehumanisation of online dialogue is interesting. Is it because of 'anonymity' or is there more at play?
Time to sink multiple hours a day to this,
Yeah i agree. Theres a very thin layer between these ideas and outright crazy.
This is a very good question which i resonate with. The implications that an extend life is better. In my personal opinion life as we know it would be vastly different and who knows how different it could be, for better or for worse.
I didnt know about the 'dire economic situation' and the '1/5 risk of poverty' could you elaborate on that or have some sources?
I wouldnt be surprised. Seems smug.
imo i never really understood why teachers were so underpaid all over the world. Considering the fact that they play a key role in society
I've partially heard of Antikythera. What do experts think it is?
2 questions. Are we capable of generating something like that particularly when that happened? and was there ever an attempt to respond in some sort?
Agreed. Genuinely curious how long this has taken so far
Seems crazy considering the fact that this is capable of deafening someone
Its still interesting to speculate on AIs involvement especially in terms of economics and jobs
Interestingly enough this is my first time hearing about this whole drinking alcohol theory and its whimsical
