Comment on “My Doujinshi Only Sold 3 Copies! I Want To Die!” by jamesownsall:

I suppose that’s the only thing about him I can admire, though he had a severe case of UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS…

I had some experience joining the doujinshi crowd at several local ‘Comikets’ before, since my last ex dragged me along to help her sell her shit. From what I could tell, most people enter such events with strong assumption that they won’t even get return capital; that they are basically paying hundreds to the printing company just ‘for the experience of selling doujinshi’. Even if your art is good in general, you still can’t expect to sell more than half your stock because there’s no guarantee that most people attending it would like your style.

What I want to know is why did he stock that much…? It seems like he printed more than 40 copies, which is crazy because most sellers don’t dare print more than that if they’re not popular up to a certain point. May be because of the ripoff printing company he got.

  Maybe he’s rich enough to replace entire desktop replacements every two years? That’s hardcore enough for me. lol

  Funny indeed. Sony just keeps posting latest shit on PS4 RIGHT AROUND THE TIME OF ONE REVEAL. Obviously they intended to kill Microsoft’s buzz and steal their thunder. I’m not sold on Sony yet though. The way I see it, they’re both playing catch to see who sucks the publishers’ dick and fucks consumers’ ass more so that one of them can appear a lesser evil and pro-consumer.

  SE’s programmers, composers and 3D modellers must be having the time of their lives right now. Welcome to Twitter, Facebook and a little porn, suckaz! THIS is deskjob life! lol 1. Code some simple plusminus stat game. 2. Throw in static 2D illustrations, apply tweening effects and make them glow a bit for ‘graphics’. 3. Shoot any gibberish notes that barely resembles rhythm and melody in FL Studio for ‘music’. 4. Compile the ‘game’ for mobile platforms and charge retards for every little thing …

  Plenty of retards in this world enjoy being put in a Skinner box and basically giving away money for virtually nothing. No more big budget high quality games that you only pay once so you can play it during your lifetime? I can’t even be bothered to worry because I’d be lucky to live until the next decade. With economic and political crises increasing, I hope all of you young ones will enjoy your shitty future! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

  As long as it’s faithful, I’m set. They can begin by making RL Sena’s three-size identical to the original.
