Who played kyle kelly on gunsmoke

I attended both nights at Budapest. They were really killer. First night was sold out and really tightly crowded. Another thing to mention, Attila Csihar from Mayhem came out during Walk and shouted the chorus. What a nice treat to us! I didn't know they are friends with Phil, as he mentioned sometime in the concert.
The 2nd night was more, to that one I went and partyed with my friends near the stage. It was more brutal than the first one. The setlist changed a little bit, they played Use My Third Arm instead of Yesterday don't Mean Shit! When the show ended, they were about to took the things from the stage and Phil didn't sing Starway to heaven yet, the crowd REALLY FUCKING LOUDLY started chanting "WE WANT MORE!" and after few minutes, the band decided to Yesterday Don't Mean shit! So we've got an extra encore! How badass is this! As I saw Phil's face, he was so grateful, impressed and humbled and almost in tears. He really liked the crowd's reaction.
Also something other stuff from the concert: I've read some comments on FB (various rockmagazines articles) and saw one boy who said the secruity didn't let his gf in a confederate flag t-shirt, because the band don't allow it on their shows. Also noticed the band is really strict about no politics on their concerts, like they banned confederate flag, and also some ukrainians near me started to fly the Ukraine flag before the show started and one security guy took it from them and only gave them back after the show.

After an up-and-down tenure with the Atlanta Hawks where he made the last of his twelve NBA All-Star berths (13th overall since he had one ABA All-Star berth) and was supposed to be the complementary star that Dominique Wilkins needed, only for him to complain about Hawks' head coach Mike Fratello and get him fired, then he subsequently lost his starting center role to Jon Koncak by decree of Bob Weiss (replacement for Fratello), thus he was now averaging 10.6 points and 8.1 rebounds in 23 minutes per game during the regular season followed up by an abysmal 4.2 points and 6.2 points in 16-17 minutes during the playoffs vs. the Detroit Pistons in the opening round of the 1991 playoffs.
Moses became a free agent at the conclusion of the '90-'91 season, and it was a given that he wasn't gonna be back in Atlanta, so they acquired Blair Rasmussen from the Denver Nuggets to replace Malone, and so Malone signed with the Milwaukee Bucks to a two-year $3.6 million contract where he'd get $1.6M in Year 1 ('91-'92) and $2M for Year 2 ('92-'93) as an upgrade over Danny Schayes (who took over for Jack Sikma as the main starting center).
It was with the Bucks that Malone would be revitalized when he started 77 of 82 games to the tune of 15.6 points, 9.1 boards, 1.1 dimes, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks while averaging 30-31 minutes per game.
His best overall game that year was a game against the Seattle SuperSonics, and posted up 30 points, 19 boards, 1 dime and 1 steal in 40 minutes with a field goal percentage of 46.7% (7 of 15 field goals made) and free throw percentages of 84.2% (16 of 19 free throws made). He also outplayed Shawn Kemp (who started at center) who was only able to play 22 minutes due to foul trouble when he picked up 5 fouls, and was thus limited to 6 points, 5 boards and 1 block, and had a field goal percentage of 33.3% (only made 1 of 3 field goals) and a free throw percentage of 100% (only all 4 free throws made).
I'm sure he had a dozen vintage games that were reminiscent of the Moses Malone of old during his prime years with the Houston Rockets, the Philadelphia 76ers (1st stint) and to a certain extent the Washington Bullets and the Atlanta Hawks (only for 1988-89). So why didn't the Milwaukee Bucks make the 1992 playoffs with Moses Malone on the team when they had reached the '91 playoffs with Danny Schayes as their starter at C alongside Jay Humphries (PG), Alvin Robertson (SG), Frank Brickowski (SF) and Fred Roberts (PF)?
What went wrong for the Milwaukee Bucks to have not made the 1992 NBA Playoffs after having made it to the playoffs the previous year?

BeyondtheGM EP 22 featured special guests Doodles CEO Julian Holguin and head of Business Development and Strategy Austin Hurwitz. Great listen where many heard the vision from the Doodles team for the first time.

Here were some of the Doodles related Q&A.
Can you share some details about your latest announcement for those who haven't seen it yet?
Julian: Doodles is partnering with a company called Camp to launch our first ever immersive retail experience and for those of you that don't know what camp is, it's basically a network of hybrid play / shopping experiences where the front of the establishment is basically a toy store, but think of it like a specialty toy store. It's kind of like a modern day FAO Schwarz or something like that. It's got all the viral kids toys. It's not just like walking into a Toys R Us or a Target or something like that. It's kind of got that specialty feel to it. That makes up about I'd say less than a sixth of the space but in the back of that toy store, there's this door that is kind of a hidden door and a camp counselor is waiting for you if you purchased a ticket to the immersive experience and you push through that magic door and behind that is essentially a 6000 square foot immersive experience that totally brings the world that you're going into to life. So they partner with some big to actually program those experiences. Los Angeles is Nike. It's called Nike Kids Camp.
New York is Disney's Encanto, a really big Disney animation movie that kind of took the world by storm last year. Dallas is Mickey Mouse and friends. Atlanta is The Little Mermaid. So obviously some of the biggest in the world. We are launching a new location with them this summer. So basically, we're going to be introduced to a whole new set of potential people in the particular market that we're going to be in because these experiences actually serve a purpose in those specific markets for longer than say 2 or 3 days, like they are permanent establishments in those markets. So we're going to stay there for about 3 to 6 months and then the Doodles show will likely go on the road to some of their other locations. But the point here is that the solution that camp solves is what do you do with your family today? What do you do today? Do you have something to do with your kids, which is always on a parent's mind, right? Whether you're taking them to the park or you're taking them to Disneyland or you're taking them wherever you want to go. This is like a 2 or 3 hour thing that is really kind of hard to replicate, that gets people out of the house and you can have truly an incredible time.
My kids love it. So the the cool thing for us is that we get to bring one of our core competencies to life in a really material way where we know it's valuable to pop up at these big cultural moments like South-by and Art Basel, but it's a pretty resource intensive process to do that, and it's a pretty budget intensive process to do that. So we figured it made a lot of sense to kind of reallocate some of that funding into turning this concept into a true business, which is essentially what camp is, One, we're going to be selling merchandise, we're going to be selling tickets to the event, we're going to be selling sponsorships to the event. So there's a real business there but the big opportunity for Doodles is there's going to be thousands of new people that don't know anything about Doodles coming into this experience, and we have the opportunity to bring them into our world. We have the opportunity to bring those people on chain, especially with what we have planned and how the technology is almost going to be invisible to the people that are in there.
It's ultimately just going to be a great digital / physical consumer experience. So really, really excited. The utility that that's going to drive ultimately to holders is VIP all access, it's going to be free entry, whereas everybody else has to pay. There's going to be merchandise credits, there's going to be true like white glove concierge services. So whenever a Doodle holder is going to go to the the space in a given day, week, whatever it might be, they're actually going to have the really VIP experience that's going to come with all the bells and whistles and they're going to feel very, very special and not the kind of experience that everybody else is going to have when they go to the event and hopefully in time that space is going to travel so a lot more Doodle holders are going to be able to take part in it but one of the big things that we've heard in general from holders about our live events is, oh man, it's two days, three days, like what if I'm not able to make it that particular weekend? This is going to enable people to have a little bit more travel plans put together if they do want to make it all the way out here but the cool thing is, it's going to travel.
We're still going to do live events in other parts of the world but this is a big one for us. The other part is that we're actually going to introduce our first line of kids merchandise, goods and apparel, which is something that the community has been asking for. We have a lot of parents in the Doodles community and it's also a way to introduce the brand to a lot of new people. As far as the experience itself, there's going to be like dayparting programing. So kids and family programing is going to be in the day for the most part and then at night there's going to be stuff that's more focused on adults. So multiple generations can take part in this. It's going to be a blast. I can't wait for everybody to see the designs, what the experience is going to look like, how it's going to connect to our collector ecosystem in the studio and bring NFT's to life in a really meaningful way. It's going to be awesome. Can't wait for you all to see it.
I'm looking forward to the day parting. I'm wondering if you could share any timelines, anything in terms of location and where we can expect them or should we stay tuned?
Julian: The location is going to be a reveal within itself so I don't want to say that here because the reason we're not bringing up the location yet is because there's a really big opportunity to get a lot of local press. You want the local newspapers, radio stations, local bloggers and everything like that talking about it. So we want to reveal the designs and everything when we announce the location so we get as many people in the particular area that we're going to be in aware of the activation as possible. Timing wise, the experience is going to open in August. There might be a little fluidity in what exact time in August but it's August right before the school year starts for everybody so it's not too far away and then as far as like you asked kind of a leading question with adult versus kids experiences. You know, if you grow up in New York or any of these cities and you do kind of more mellow, like you've been kind of like boozy painting before or doing like casual things you bring drinking like wine and beer into it. It turns into like a really fun night out for adults. This isn't going to be a rage fest kind of thing but the idea is that we're going to be able to serve alcohol and create some really cool friend and family driven experiences that are a lot more geared towards adults. So it'll be a good time.
What's it like working with Pharrell and what's his involvement with the Doodles project at the moment?
Julian: That that was the first thing we did. Again, remember how much interest there was in the blue chip NFT projects back in April, May, June of last year and there were a lot of opportunities for us to work with some major major musicians that have global reach and millions of followers and we really saw the value in working with a creator to help us incubate the brand but they needed to be dynamic and Pharrell is the most dynamic, genius, brilliant creator that in our opinion has really ever lived and he spans music, he spans art, he spans fashion, film, television, technology, everything. So, we had started talking to him basically right when I started and we got the deal done very quickly. Pharrell is a pretty material part of the business, most of the work that he does is kind of behind the scenes, the Pharrell pack and him coming into the Doodles universe as a character was the first big collab that we did but we're working on music together, we're working on audio identity and visual identity and brand development etc and the doors that guy can open are truly unprecedented, the rooms that he's walked us into. I don't want to name drop but top C-suite in the world, top creators in the world, top everything. Pharrell's name comes with so much weight because he has the respect of everybody from business to creative and fashion and everything in between and the thing that surprised me most well, I shouldn't say surprised me, but the thing that I think would surprise most people is how shrewd of a business mind the guy has, he's always leaning into new technology, new ways of doing things. He's kind of contrarian, but he really understands business. He really understands opportunity and he's very leaned into Doodles, which is exciting. We couldn't be more blessed to have his have his support and have his mind on the on the company.
I really enjoyed Scott's (Burnt Toast) version of Pharrell. Could you talk about the expansion of the Doodleverse and the ethos behind it?
Julian: If you look at the end card to the most recent trailer that promoted the Pharrell pack, Doodles2, the stoodio, everything that we released last month, what you're going to find in that is a bunch of random Doodles characters that could be anybody, could be anybody on this call, could be people in South Dakota, could be people in Hong Kong, could be people wherever.
Then you see Pharrell, who is Pharrell in that universe and then you see our mascot who is obviously going to be the main character of our fictional universe. So you have the real world in there, through their Doodle, you have Pharrell who's also part of the real world in there through their Doodle and then you have the fictional characters from Doodles in that photo as well. So if you think about where we're going as a brand, we're developing this fictional universe of characters that are derived from the original collection. So you've seen the mascot, you've seen the cat, all of that stuff is going to be developed into a fictional line of programing and then running parallel to that is the lifestyle brand that is Doodles, right? You make your Doodle, you buy your Doodle merch, you go to Doodles events, you're on Twitter talking to other Doodles, there are Doodle holders that are more well known than other Doodle holders simply because they engage more and they're more kind of public figures in the community and we kind of believe that as that starts to grow, those two, that kind of lifestyle brand and real world aspect of the Doodles will crash into the fictional world at times.
Maybe you do see a creator or someone that you know in the actual fictional world of the universe, or maybe you as a Doodle holder, whether it be through your Doodle or the customized Doodle that you create, will be in that fictional universe as well, the same way that Lady Gaga was a character in The Simpsons, or The Weeknd was a character in The Simpsons, set in the fictional world of The Simpsons but they're Lady Gaga. They're The Weeknd. So we have this really cool track of programing where you can bring digital identity to the table and collecting. We have this kind of sincere belief that digital identity paired with collecting connected to every single consumer touchpoint, whether it be going to the movies, watching television, buying stuff at retail, playing video games, if you can bring that back to a collecting hub where the brand knows who their most loyal supporters are, who engage with the company the most, who are supporting the most and you can reward those people and create aligned incentives as our business grows. That's something really special that brings the brand and the ultimate collector closer together, which makes them feel like they are part of the universe because they actually are going to be part of the universe. They're not going to be just a passive participant and the best way I can give you kind of a framework for how that doesn't exist today.
If you look at most movie IP, they license the movie rights out to a distribution company that actually puts the movie out, which then goes to theaters so they don't actually own the relationship with their customer. You buy merchandise through another third party, so they license it to another third party. They license their books and publishing rights. They license their music rights. They license everything out and they don't actually own the relationship with a lot of their audience. So they have no way of knowing who their most loyal supporters are, who goes and sees the movie three times, who plays the game, who buys the merch, who shows up at the theme parks and the events? What's really cool about the technology that we all work in is we could figure out a way to track all of that and make sure that those people are not just being seen and heard, they're getting stuff, they're getting more rewards, they're creating this sense of identity being close to this brand because they're actually going to feel like they're part of it with all the activations that we have planned. We think that's a business model and a mindset that doesn't exist today and that that's really where we're leaning in.
Are there any projects or founders or individuals that you guys chat with a lot or anyone you guys want to meet?
Julian: Yeah, obviously day to day work kind of gets in the way of, you know, people spending too much time together but Luca and I talk pretty often, he actually hooked me up with a couple of the plushies for my kids. They loved them. So there's there's definitely love and support there. I talk to Greg from Yuga every now and then, I've connected with Zag a couple of times but it's not as much as it should be and I think that's kind of the real takeaway, is that, we should be coming together as leaders in this space more often, because if one of us wins, all of us wins and there's so much incredible work being done right now, we just we need to figure out better ways of kind of taking ourselves out of the day to day and the kind of the pitting ourselves against each other that exists so much on the timeline right now and just remember, we're all fighting the same fight, right? We're trying to take market share from all the biggest companies in the world, not from each other. If Web3 makes it, it's not going to be just one of us that makes it. It's going to be a few of us. It's going to be a bunch of us and it's ultimately just going to create more opportunity for everybody building in this space. So more of that 100% needs to happen.
How do you feel about the sentiment? Obviously you guys went through a lot of FUD and now you're kind of bouncing back. How do you feel about the NFT space and where you guys kind of see yourselves fitting in?
Julian: I think anybody who saw our keynote at NFTNYC last year, we are doing every single thing that we said we were going to do. I think there's a misconception in how long this stuff actually takes to develop, to reach millions of people around the world, how long it takes to get music to market and film and television content to market and true partnerships and things like that. You know, especially when you kind of have the bar for quality that Doodles does. I think one of the areas that we've fallen flat is just communication and community building in general and I think that's something that if hopefully you've been paying attention lately, you've seen that there's a real concerted effort internally to try and bridge that gap and to try and rebuild that vibe in the Doodles community. It's something we think about every day. Austin has been invaluable in that regard and truly making the community understand that we are a Web3 company. We do care deeply about this space. We do sincerely believe in the technology and what it's going to do for brands and IP.
We really do feel like every action and activity we take is not just going to benefit Doodles, it's going to benefit everybody in our community and everybody in the Web3 community at large. So has it hurt to see kind of Web3 not as pumped about Doodles anymore? Yeah, it's definitely something we think about, but we're not going to sit here and try and sell, sell, sell to the space on why we're great. What we're going to do is just prove it by shipping product and show people that we really are in this for the right reasons and it'll start to make more and more sense over time. We're kind of sick of talking about what we're going to do and we're just going to show people and think by the end of the summer, by the end of September, you're going to you're going to see a very, very different looking business that the community is truly at the center of. So we're excited for that.
You guys are talking about collectibles and I think Burnt Toast recently shared a photo of a monochrome dude. You guys are working with All Rights Reserved who is definitely a premium art / toy sculpture producer. I would love to know a little bit more about how you connected and maybe a little bit more that around what we can expect for that that drop.
Julian: So this relationship predates me joining but Evan got introduced to SK, I believe through Todd Kramer, who's a big art collector, and he has a gallery in New York and I believe they really hit it off kind of from the beginning and the first the first vinyl that came out was so successful, people were going crazy for that thing and it became very clear that hese vinyl stand toe to toe with Bearbrick statues and Kaws statues and we had a real opportunity in the designer toy market. So we really wanted to start to double down on that concept and try and play in that space. So we've been developing a strategy for a while on how we actually bring that to a wider audience and get that in the right kind of environment so this, this summer, August, actually, we're going to be doing a big drop tied to the physical's, the vinyl that you saw. There's going to be multiple colorways. There's going to be some really interesting, I'll say expanded things outside of the toy, outside of the figure itself but it's going to have some specialty retail distribution so it'll be at some key retailers, both digital retailers and physical retailers, All those retailers are going to be distributed around the world.
There's some pretty select markets that we're going into and then that is going to lead directly into the camp opening a few weeks later. So it's pretty exciting. The vinyls are definitely a big area of growth for us because we see them as a way to reach new collectors, new people. It's not enough to try and sell everything to the people that are here today, what we need to be able to do is actually bring these these experiences and these products to as many new people as possible. I think one of the things that Luca actually said when they did the toys was, being financially independent so you don't need to continue putting more and more NFT's in the ecosystem. I don't think that means any of us are going to stop producing NFT's but the whole idea of being able to make those experiences incredible because you have a real business outside of it. I think that is a really great takeaway and something that we think is possible through this drop and the other stuff that's coming soon. We're talking so much more man. It's going to be crazy.
One thing I would like to hear your thoughts about is how are you trying to to bring value back to holders from these events? If I walk into a Camp store, do I know that Doodles is a originated from an NFT project or is there another another strategy like a Trojan horse?
Julian: I think the goal for us and thank you for that question, but the goal for us is more how do you eliminate the technological barrier between someone that has no appetite for it but might be interested in your brand? And as the brand grows and as the technology gets a little bit more seamless and people start to understand what the original collection actually means, that there's a lot more demand for that because there's only 10,000 of them. So if we all of a sudden reach millions of people and those millions of people know that there is this collectible that started it all, it's the original artwork but that artwork is also it's the first edition Pokemon card, right? That's kind of the parallel that I'd say and then that art is attached to this essentially membership, that is the ultimate access pass within the ecosystem, right? Like the Pharrell pack, there was only 300 of them, but you couldn't get one if you didn't have an original Doodle So that was basically a free airdrop. You had to hit certain metrics, engagement metrics within the community to actually get the pack but that was just one iteration of it. We'll have that for a lot of drops where, there will be, a certain amount of things that are free and the free thing will always come to people that own the original Doodle and then the free entry specifically speaking about camp, free entry to the experience when everyone else has to pay, merchandise credits and then a true white glove concierge service where you're you're going to reach out to Doodles before you go and then you're going to be set up with this kind of VIP experience at that location.
If you believe that Doodles has the opportunity to grow and turn into a bigger brand, you know that free airdrops and claims and free claims on merchandise in one location is not going to be all the utility that there is for the original collection. We're going to build a lot more than that and that is kind of how we see value trickling back down to the original token, we're also going to be licensing people's Doodles to use in media, to use in products. We haven't done it yet because we just haven't figured out the right way to make it scalable. It's kind of a big thing to set that precedent this early, especially if you have the kind of ambition we do to go as big as we want to go but we are thinking about that and we are going to bring that to market soon and then the last thing that I'll bring up is just the Doodle bank, which is honestly, I feel like a really under the radar thing. We have a $5 million or so fund that only people with a Doodle can access to build businesses around the Doodles brand, to build creator platforms around the Doodles brand. I would love to see a Doodle holder try and access the Doodle brand to actually build some of the stuff that you've been able to build, right? How can we help subsidize costs so they can create their own podcast studio so they can advertise their content a little bit more all through the Doodles brand, which is ultimately aligned incentives
You as a creator get bigger. Doodles gets more of a microphone because you're getting bigger as a creator and then the last couple pillars of the Doodle bank is also rewards , so how can we use the funds in the Doodle bank to actually create more rewards for Doodle holders, is it sponsoring a concert tour? Is it trying to get memberships to a specific social club? There's so many different things that we can use to drive value back to the original token with this fund and ultimately empower the creators and the entrepreneurs that exist in our ecosystem. So I'd say we're doing so much to try and drive value back to the original token, but I think people will I think people will start to see that when there's truly like real world utility Pharrell pack was one iteration. We've done an airdrop with the Dooplicator, we're doing this experience with camp and it'll keep going from there.
Have you guys kind of like established your council? How do you guys kind of think about the Doodle Banks as it operates as I guess a "DAO" tied to Doodles itself? What does the structure look like, high level?
Austin: In terms of where we're at with it right now. We've installed the first class of the DoodleBank community council, which consists of a chair to oversee the council, a treasurer who is distributing the funds and tracking the finances, an events lead who is going to be building out community global programing, a grants lead, which is really when Julian speaks about how do we empower individuals to build businesses, whether it be through grants or ways to prop up businesses through their IP and then a rewards lead who is focused on how can we bring in additional benefits to holding a Doodle. They have been live since the top of May and right now are developing the processes for how approvals come in, what the approval process looks like, effectively what are our guidelines and what we're looking to support, our budgets overall per quarter and then have also been fielding questions and feedback from the community. So it's been great. They serve multiple roles in addition to just their remit, given their different titles. They're also really our first line of taking in feedback and doing product reviews.
Austin: They're all under NDA and really have a clear sense of where we're going. So it's been great to be able to build with the community in that way but our intention is that in pretty short order, like within call it the next few weeks, we want to get these processes out to the community for feedback and start taking in the first set of proposals. We also really love the nouns model of like the prop house RFP, so for things that we know we need to do as a company, but we want to be able to empower the community to be able to help build with us we effectively want to have bounties that we can put out there, whether it be to create content or create merchandise or whatever the case may be, have it be more of a two way street than just reactively taking in proposals. We're we're moving really quickly. I'm literally in a Slack channel with with the council right now as they're giving me all of their weekend updates but it's been progressing and hope to have more for the community soon.
I'm curious to see how you guys do it. I think we've noticed that you need a processes onboarding and kind of filtering and then also controlling budgets and you sometimes see proposals that are grossly overestimated so being smart about allocation, making it efficient etc
Austin: It's a great point to illustrate and we are very fortunate with the few individuals we have as Treasurer and the grants lead. John Shank, who is our Treasurer was a CFO for a large corporation for a long time and really focused on having a balanced budget. How do we ultimately bring additional funds into the bank and what are the checkpoints over time? So instead of distributing all those funds up once, how do we ensure that we're getting the necessary reporting and then Eyal who is our grand lead has actually run incubators in the past and ensuring that we have the right checks and balances as we're deploying that capital to ensure what you just said doesn't happen, that we're not put in a situation where we're deploying funds and we're not seeing the direct action that's being taken against them.
Does it mean that there are no more pop ups this year or are there also some plans to keep going with the pop ups or other plans?
Julian: It definitely does not mean no pop ups. That's core to our DNA and it's also such an incredible onboarding opportunity, when we went to Something In The Water festival, Pharrel's festival in Virginia Beach, there were so many spokes to that partnership where we basically brought a 30 by 30 space. We sold the new collaboration that we had on site with ice cream. So all these people now have Doodles products that were there and bought the merchandise and right next to that was kind of a live demo of Doodles2 where we were able to capture people's emails so we can send them marketing after the fact. We got a few thousand emails at that activation, we sold a bunch of merchandise and we basically introduced a lot of people to the brand and on the other side of it like, okay, what does that do for the holder apart from growing the ecosystem, which we do find pretty valuable to ultimately Doodle holders and our entire ecosystem but we were able to secure 50 tickets that we gave to the community for free in a raffle and they were VIP tickets. They were super close to the stage, there were credits involved in them and for the people that went, it was a really awesome experience and then the other piece is that when you talk about creators in our community. JKB, Juicy, Kat, Sammy. I'm not sure how familiar any of you are with them, but they're very prominent members of our community.
They've been around for a very long time. They basically started their own media brand based on their Doodles PFP's and this is the second time that we've actually had them kind of live blog and create content on behalf of Doodles at the actual festival. So you saw them kind of do like A day in the life with Doodles and JKB, taking content of like festival goers, the stages, the experiences and then distributing that stuff, on Twitter and their other social channels. So it was a really cool thing that we could do for creators in our space and what I'll say kind of directly answer your question is, Something In The Water was just the first festival thing that we've done this year. We're going to show up at other music festivals. We're going to continue to do live events and what we built for something in the water was an activation that can travel a lot more easily. So South by Southwest, Art Basel, those things were very hard to pack up and repurpose, we have aspects of that, but this new activation that we've built, we can actually ship it from place to place and we can continue to add on to it depending on the actual activation itself. So festivals will always be and other live events will always be a way to drive utility for holders and also onboard new people into the ecosystem.
Julian: Doodles is about fun, man. We want to color the world with joy. We want everybody to feel the vibes and it's incredible to work on it every day. It's hard keeping things a secret, it's painful sometimes.
Can you tell me anything about the Pharrell album? I understand it's with Columbia, who are part of Sony Music. Is there anything you can kind of say on the project and when that could be landing?
Julian: Sure. So the album's not actually going to roll out as a traditional album where there's like a bunch of songs they're going to roll out. It's going to roll out kind of song by song and more as a platform on a perpetual basis. Columbia is going to distribute the music and I don't want to give too much detail because there's going to be a lot of hype in the reveal but you're going to see things like a music video set in the Doodles universe featuring whatever artist is going to be on it. Pharrell curated or produced tracks. Collectibles that are paired both physical and digital with the actual music itself and wide distribution so the songs are going to be on Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, radio, etcetera. So that's kind of how it's going to come to life and if you looked at Pharrell as a Doodle and Pharrell coming into the Doodles universe as a character, imagine some of your favorite artists coming into the Doodles universe as a character too. It's going to be a pretty eclectic mix of artists and it's going to roll out again, like I said, over time. That really is all I can say at the moment, but we'll update everybody as soon as we possibly can. All I can tell you is it's going to be fire.
You guys recently made an amazing acquisition with GoldenWolf Studios. Can we expect more animations and stuff on the Socials? What's the sort of direction with Golden Wolf and how did that come about?
Julian: That's a great question. So we acquired Golden Wolf back in January. They are an Emmy nominated creative studio. They're one of the most highly regarded animation studios in the world. Lot of brand notoriety from them in the entire animation industry. The goal, if you think of what Doodles is, there's a term in media called transmedia and that essentially means you tell stories on different channels, right? So different channels means you could be telling stories through live events, you could be telling stories through the distribution of toys, you could be telling stories through social media, you could be telling stories at the box office with a big film and the whole point is, you're not trying to fit one story or one thing for each of those channels that have very unique characteristics from a distribution standpoint. So Doodles is the kind of brand that needs to tell stories across all of these channels and meet people where they are, where they're actually spending their time versus trying to put the same thing out across the board. So GoldenWolf, which is very much specializes in social content and brand identity in advertisement. They're an incredible partner to keep kind of the always on content flow pumping out for Doodles, which is just starting to ramp up now and at the same time, with all the incredible creators, plus Scott and the people that we're working with in the traditional entertainment industry, bringing the actual story together, the universe that is Doodles, who the characters are, what adventures they go on, what is the backstory? What's the conflict?
Golden Wolf, Scott and a few others are actually developing that now and that is going to manifest itself through all of our content, through all of our product, all of our storytelling opportunities, while we're also developing long form content. So what does Doodles look like as a streaming television show or a motion picture? How does Doodles go into music videos like Golden Wolf is going to produce the music videos. So from a creative standpoint, we have, in my opinion, the best creative studio in the world, developing Doodles content and brand and I'll just say we just started the integration recently, there's kind of been really nothing yet. We've gotten started. It's been amazing, but there's so much coming from Golden Wolf soon and then I'd say on the flip side, Golden Wolf being in Web3 is not an insignificant thing either. So yes, it's amazing that they're going to help develop the Doodles IP but Golden Wolf has a lot of other ideas that NFT's and blockchain technology could be a really great format for incubating that IP or bringing new stories to life and new projects to market and leveraging the tech in new ways and Ingi who founded that company ten years ago is one of the smartest guys in the entire space, he's a true innovator, leaned into tech really leaning into AI tooling and how that can help Doodles as a business, how that can help the whole animation industry as a business. So we're just kind of seeing a little fruit from that partnership right now, but it's going to continue to grow pretty, pretty significantly from there. We really do have a crazy, talented team like Scott and then also Sammy and Alfie. There's so many brilliant creatives at Golden Wolf, and you'll get to know a lot of them soon.
Have you guys made any made any new key hires or are you guys planning to make some key hires to kind of push this forward?
Julian: We kind of wrapped up the majority of our hiring after our head of business and legal affairs came into the company about a month or so ago. I mean, we're at 60 people right now across Doodles and Golden Wolf, so we're pretty staffed well, there's some more product and engineering resources that we're going to be bringing in so we can be quicker to market with a few things but I'd say we're pretty well staffed at this point.
So to build on top of what you've said, I was wondering if you guys could give us any insights into the Doodles culture, the work culture.
Julian: I love that question. So we just opened an office in Miami a couple months ago. Our team is distributed, so we have some people that are remote. We have some people that are here in Miami. We have an office in New York. We have an office in London and again, there are people that are remote. So for the people that are in Miami, the office is pretty awesome. It's got a pretty, pretty cool view. It's right in a really good area of the city and when you walk in, it's very much neutral tones and colors and things like that and then we make the space pop with product that we have. So there's vinyls all over the office. We bring other IP into the office like we have this gold Mickey Mouse that that Jordan donated, it was a Fantasia Mickey Mouse with him holding a Bitcoin instead of a magic ball, just a lot of different artists and IP that we respect to try and inspire some creativity in the space. We have this really cool synthesizer that Evan got made, where people come in, play it. It's actually like a Doodles synthesizer.
We have a merchandise kind of like retail display. We have all of our statues on display. So you can check out our brand, learn a little bit more about us. We also have this pretty cool ice cream set up like actual ice cream and then the New York office couldn't be a different vibe. It's more of a grunge studio, true artsy vibe and then it's the same kind of thing in London in Shoreditch. The original GoldenWolf office.
It's awesome. I think what we're trying to bring to life is the inspiration of creativity and trying to emulate a lot of the incredible IP that we respect so much and we do remote work sessions, so we try and bring people all together, at least once or twice a quarter so we can all get those creative juices flowing, build relationships with each other because if we're going to truly be a community outside of the company, we got to be one internally first so it's been really cool trying to build the culture here and I think we've been doing a pretty good job.
I'm wondering for future pop ups or activations or installations that you guys are having, will there be places where people can actively onboard into the community, whether that's Doodles2 or the original collection?
Julian: Definitely at what I'll call Non-endemic to Doodles stuff, so festivals and more consumer facing events. The reason why we showed up at South by Southwest and Art Basel last year was because we were this really hot Web3 brand in a sea of some of the biggest companies and brands in the world. Whereas as when you go to the when you go to the NFT events, you're like the headline. Right? I think the opportunity to gain notoriety in those environments is really a big opportunity, but it's also an opportunity to bring your holders close to the action that all the influencers of the world, are part of. So when Doodle throws the massive event at Art Basel and it's like one of the tickets of the weekend and our holders are the VIP entrance into that thing we're going to continue to do stuff like that. We really love that concept and at the same hand, use that opportunity to bring new people into the brand. The goal right now is to onboard, people into kind of like information gathering until the stoodio product is actually out of beta. So we're collecting emails so we can retarget these people and make sure that they understand who we are, what we're doing, etcetera so that's kind of the strategy for us.

Hii. Trying this again because apparently I fell asleep last night.
So there's a random orange cat that's been coming around to my place and I think he needs a name!
Other than that, I'm a friendly 30-something person who enjoys staring at my computer screen doing absolutely nothing. I'm a policy researcher but I'm not in the elite society of academia (and I refuse to join them). In my spare time I like playing video games and going on a culinary adventure.
What I'm not looking for: anything romantic.
I guess I'm looking to get to know new people as humans are fascinating. And when you reached 30, life consumes you and your circle gets smaller. Your status, gender etc wouldn't matter to me. And no, there is no obligation to talk every day.
So yeah, if you're looking for something similar, hmu. I'm nice :)

Bet: Miami run line -1.5
Miami's Eury Pérez and Oakland's Luis Medina are two right-handed rookie pitchers from the Dominican Republic. But that's where the similarities end. Pérez (2-1, 2.84 ERA) has managed to win two games in his first four starts, while Medina (0-4, 6.83 ERA) has yet to win in five games, four of which were as a starter. Furthermore, Pérez is part of a young and competitive team, the Marlins (30-28), while Medina plays for the most losing team in the majors (12-47). But that's the matchup on Saturday afternoon when the Miami Marlins host the Oakland A's. Oakland has lost all five games started by 24-year-old Medina, although he has had two quality starts. Oakland's Pérez, who has lost 13 of his last 15 games - and 12 consecutive on the road - lost the first game of the series 4-0 on Friday.

I am a newish player at AR43, and got Tighnari as my first 5* not long ago. I asked on the main Genshin sub about him, and was given some tips, and I am already working on building him, but i would like to get some tips for putting together a team for him. So far, I only played Noelle, and never really played around with elemental reactions and supports at all, so I really have no idea what am I doing. I was recommended the Catalyze reaction, by basically everyone both in comments and the character guide site (keqingmains.com) they recommended for me. But I would like to ask the experts about their opinion, plus some tips on building a team. My character pool is limited. Pyro: Bennett, Xiangling and Amber. Electro:Razor, Lisa. Hydro: Barbara. Other Dendro: Kirara. I also have Sucrose, who I was told is pretty nice for him. I don't have anyone levelled.

This post is not meant to glorify this behavior. I am sharing my personal experience and have already reported this to authorities. Below I will include a list of things and how they do it, including my experience as their subject.

1. My family is being held hostage by multiple people in town. I have found wired in the ceiling that are transmitting a frequency.
   
2. First they gather a bunch of personal information on you and look at your daily patterns. Your pattern of movement, speech, emotional patterns, etc.
   

For me, this included using my friends and family

1. Then they start to ask you open ended questions to see how you would respond. They want to associate a noise, word, smell, sight, or taste to something in your pattern.
   
2. After that they will try to recreate that situation on a repeated basis. So let's say you open a door a certain way, they will associate a sound with the opening of that door. They will then take that sound of the door opening and tie to something like an emotional response by greeting you the same way each time.
   
3. Once there is that pattern going. They will then see how you are after the pattern is established and carry on from that point. Say you have 7 patterns in the day. They want to take one pattern, and turn it to 2 and then to 3 and so on.
   
4. Then from there, they can start to emotionally manipulate you. They will change the patterns to love you around in a way that they can control you.
   

By now this sounds like a pavlovian response. Training a dog to a sound cue, however the next part is where it gets disturbing and my current situation.

1. If you take a sound cue and associate it with an emotional response, thats parenting. However you can then tie that sound cue to an emotional memory of the emotional response. Ie you go sound cue > emotional response > emotional memory > emotional response of that memory > and then you can tie that to an emotion itself.
   
2. The ability to get to an emotion to present itself through a sound cue or other sense, is a powerful thing. Now emotions are tied to many things, so you've created a window of opportunity to tie that sound cue to multiple parts of the brain.
   
3. Once that cue is in the brain and your brain fires a synapse, then you can start to stress that part of the brain repeatedly. You can then tie it to another part of the brain that holds a different memory with that same emotion so long as you can make the connection between the two.
   

Here is where I am at currently.

1. If you tie a cue to an emotion, an emotion to another emotion, and then make those connections. What happens when you start to play with that connection? If you increase the frequency of the cue, or speed, will the synapse fire differently. The answer is yes. Then you take the pitch of that sound and move that around in order to create "higher" or "lower" connections in the brain.
   
2. You can start to tie cues to different aspects of human nature once you reach a high enough frequency. I'm going to use sound for the next example, because sounds frequency can be fired more than smell or taste or the other senses.
   

Currently, I have found wires in the ceiling of my grandparents house. Where I lived previously, I had started to become targeted and thought I needed to move. When I got to my grandparents, I saw the same thing happening. They were using the same words and phrases, they were constantly watching me.

1. For example, take bird calls or bird chirps. You tie those to an emotional state. We'll call it pattern 1. That pattern becomes stronger the more the chirps are reinforced and the more you can call back to that pattern with those chirping noises. Then, you increase the frequency or speed of them. Then you increase or decrease the pitch depending on which part of the brain you are trying to target.
   
2. It's one thing to tie a sound to an emotion. But what if you tie a sound to an emotion to a smell and you tie the original emotion to your biological clock.
   

So it looks something like this
Sound to emotion That sound > second emotion > a smell That original emotion > series of emotions > and once you have those series of emotions you can tie them to something like motor skill since your body will have generally the same response to similar emotions.
So the pattern is 1. Sound > second emotion > smell 2. Emotion> series of emotions > motor skill So the final output is 3. Smell > motorskill
14. When you amp up or decrease sound that is tied to a motorskill, then you have a window of opportunity into almost anything in the body. The reason for this is because you can then tie back that biological function to more words. When you get someone repeating a pattern enough and focused enough on the environment, you are then able to get that person to follow almost anything you do.
The wires in my family's home have been transmitting a higher and higher pitched frequency. I mean literal wires put in the house in order to target me. I believe it's because I stumbled into a place where a group of people who I'll call "Their Family" works. I say that because they call each other by brother and sister, they have birthdays and they communicate like a family would , with their own language.
From what I know, they're involved in many different aspects of crime. Drugs, prostitution, laundering, murder, extortion, etc.

1. With your words, senses, memories, motorskills all tied to something else, then you can start to manipulate their body. The reason I bring up this "family" is because they share these insights with each other. They pass around cues for people and do their best to manipulate and control people. This isn't something that a single person can do on their own, they need more than one in order to make sure that every aspect of the body can be tied down. Remember those 7 patterns I brought up? Well they try and take up as much of that space as possible. So it's not like one part of your daily routine is messed up and you can move on, they will find every aspect of you and keep you where they want you.

16. From what I've gathered, there are multiple ways to kill someone with this. Im going to share two that I know I'm being targeted with, although there are more.

1. The first is causing someone to have their eyes and brain become incredibly sensitive to light. I know of this one because I have unknowingly been through this before which is why I am able to put together so much and see what is happening.

2. The second is heart attack. If you have the ability to control motorskills then you have the ability to constrict or expand blood vessels. If you have the ability to constrict or expand vessels, then you can move energy throughout the brain, and this includes the ability of tying new thoughts and memories together.
17. The ability to move things around in the body, that is the primary thing they are after. What they mostly need is a cypher, or more fittingly a one way cypher. You tie words to words, and you mix all their words up so that you can understand what they're saying but they can't. Similar to how a child gets parented.
18 The way they start is with, "who, what, when, where, why, how, how come"
19 You can tie a question like "when are you going" to "what are you doing", and if it's a question you ask out of nowhere and you expect their response "going where?" Then you tie the word "where" to something like "who"
20 So you have them essentially saying "doing who?" And then you go on with the pattern like that with their words. You obscure the words through whispers, making their ears sensitive to sound, and if the pattern starts to become really engrained then you can make them hear their own words in the environment which can slow or speed their movement. You can also tie hearing their words in the environment to something like sensitivity to light or muscles that control blood flow.
21 Then there is a feedback loop with having someone hear themselves in the environment. If you have someone get used to hearing themselves in other people's speech, if you have a group of people, then you can rotate those words around their head in varying levels of volume. That is one way to obscure.
In my personal experience, the wires in the house are part of my feedback loop. When you have a high enough frequency then the frequency gets transmitted through the metal framing. Any sound you associate with a certain level of frequency, becomes another layer of the pattern. So you can whisper words underneath other words in order to get someone to fire two different parts of the brain at the same time.

For a long time my boyfriend didn't really try to translate and just switched to his language when I was around. I voiced it over a year and things started to change. he started to include me and switch to english. After a very unpleasant carride with an actress of his who speaks fluent english, even lived abroad I got really grumpy because for one hour she just spoke their language, called him honey and in the last 3 minutes switched to english and he didn't try to switch or include me. I voiced my issue strongly and after that he really tried.
We were at a party of his play recently and all of the people speak english, one even my language in B2. Except for the guy who speaks my language when I tried to communicate with people it ended after two sentences from their side, they switched back and such. my boyfriend reallyb tried to switch, answering in english but they stayed persistently with their language. Obviously I don't ask for them to only speak english but this party has left me feeling quite isolated and lonely again. I treid saying that to my partner, while saying that I appreciated so much how much he was including me and that it wasn't on him, but that the lack of openess from the theatre people we met so far, except for that one guy, that also speaks my language, is really getting to me. Now he said if I can't be happy with it he won't take me to these parties anymore cause he is done feeling like a babysitter, he wants a partner who can navigate life themselves. Mind you at parties with english speaking people or my language I am open, can talk to people separately and we did experience that together before. He also once was grumpy after a party we went to because he didnt understand everything that was said.
Should I just accept that this is the situation at the moment and when I am more language proficient I join again?
It really pains me, and he also said that, that I can't be a part of his theatre world because I am a foreigner and I don't understand it and the language (i am also an actress so that I get). It's also one of the most difficult languages and he knew my language even before we met. I feel like due to general relationship issues he has no empathy for me anymore with my feelings afterwards- but apart from that I also want to learn how to not put it on him, handle it myself. I also struggle with being here so much because I don't have a life here and when I just mention that I am a bit lonely or the party got to me he says I can leave if I am so unhappy here. We planned to move in together in 2 weeks in another country so that period with me being here for basically 3 months is over but even though I know this it is a bit hard
And I think he is angry that I am feeling that way because he is moving soon- but even before he was angry with that and the longest he spent at my place was 2 weeks, I spent months here or weeks because sometimes I went away for 3 to 4 days.
I am kind of looking for advice on how others dealt with this. He also has some fear about moving and that formed the last month of our relationship a lot because I just got a big job, he doesnt have one yet and even though he wants to move either way, with or without me, he is very afraid and fears that he is dependent on me and looses his autonomy

Hello,
J'ai remarqué un phénomène étrange sur /france ces derniers jours : certains posts qui arrivent en front page du sub accumulent un nombre de crossposts astronomique.
Par exemple, ces deux posts qui sont arrivés en tête du sous hier ont respectivement 46 et 38 crossposts:

Vous pouvez faire le test vous-même en triant les posts du sub par top de la semaine.

Dans tous ces cas, les crossposts sont quasiment tous faits en direction du profil de l'utilisateur en question et pas sur un autre subreddit. Les comptes qui crosspostent massivement ces sujets ont tous des noms générés par défaut par reddit, très peu de karma, postent sur des subreddits de type /FreeKarma4You, et surtout : ils sont tous très intéressés par des subreddit liés à Temu. Pour ceux qui comme moi ne connaissent pas, il s'agit d'une companie Chinoise d'e-commerce fondée en 2022.
Wikipedia:

Temu is an online marketplace operated in a number of countries by the Chinese-based company PDD Holdings Inc.[1] It offers heavily discounted goods[2] which are mostly shipped to consumers directly from China.[3]
Temu is owned and operated by the Chinese-based and Cayman Island registered[4] company PDD Holdings, which also owns Pinduoduo, a popular online commerce platform in China.[5] The platform first went live in the United States in September 2022[1] In February 2023, Temu launched in Canada.[6] That same month, the company aired a Super Bowl ad.[7] In March 2023, Temu launched in Australia and New Zealand.[8] In the following month, Temu was launched in France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK.[9]
Temu allows China-based vendors to sell and ship directly to customers without having to rely on warehouses in the destination country.[10] Online purchased on Temu can be made using an Internet browser or through a dedicated mobile app. In late 2022, the Temu app was the most frequently downloaded app in the United States.[11]
Temu offers free goods to some users who successfully encourage new users via affiliate codes, social media, and gamification.[2] It also uses online advertising on Facebook and Instagram. According to Sarah Perez writing for TechCrunch, "These ads appear to be working to boost Temu's installs. But dig into the app's reviews and you'll find similar complaints to Wish, including scammy listings, damaged and delayed deliveries, incorrect orders and lack of customer service."[11] According to Andrew Chow writing for Time, Temu is also starting to develop a reputation for undelivered packages, mysterious charges, incorrect orders, and unresponsive customer service.[2]
In May 2023, concerns were raised about risks to users' personal data as the Pinduoduo shopping app was removed from Google Play Store after some of its versions were found to contain malware.[12]
On May 17, 2023, Montana governor Greg Gianforte banned Temu on government devices state-wide, along with ByteDance applications (including TikTok), Telegram, and WeChat.[13][14] The ban was criticized by the American Civil Liberties Union as "anti-Chinese".

En pratique, ça a l'air d'être un concurrent à Wish avec tous les problèmes que ça implique (par exemple, on retrouve souvent ces profils parler de dropshipping). Apparemment, j'ai eu de la chance de ne pas en avoir entendu parlé jusqu'ici étant donné qu'ils font de la pub de manière très aggressive et avec un budget énorme.
De fait, les subreddits liés à Temu ressemblent un peu à un champ de bataille, on y trouve quasiment uniquement des posts pour mendier du karma:
/TEMU_Official
/temu
/TEMU_Canada
/TemuHelp (celui là a carrément un post en sticky qui parle de vendre des bots...)
Il faut admettre que ces comptes ressemblent quand même fortement à des bots. Je ne sais pas trop quel intérêt ils retirent de toutes ces manoeuvres, peut-être que quelqu'un qui connaît mieux la plate-forme pourra nous éclairer là-dessus.
Finalement, à part le haut nombre de cross-posts, on est pas vraiment impacté sur /france étant donné que ces comptes sont, de ce que j'ai vu, très souvent en dessous de la limite de 50 karma nécessaire pour que AutoModerator ne vire pas leurs posts automatiquement. Je me demande quand même pourquoi ils ont l'air de viser /france si massivement. C'est peut-être juste parce que j'ai pas remarqué le phénomène sur d'autres subreddits que je fréquente moins, donc si vous avez des exemples je suis preneur.
C'est peut-être aussi une bonne idée de prendre note de ces comptes et de les bannir du sous tant qu'ils sont en dessous de la limite de karma et facilement identifiable par ces crossposts. Une fois qu'ils auront acquis le karma nécessaire pour poster ici, que leurs commentaires soit juste des reposts ou générés par IA, je pense qu'il y a de bonne chances qu'ils passent inaperçus.
C'est tout pour moi !

Berry pro looking for a team I'm a pro berry farmer looking for a team if you have a team but don't have anyone who can build and run a proper farm base then msg me on PlayStation bigchef11 I can provide your team with the finest pure teas available endless cloth and an all you can eat buffet of the freshest food around.
Struggling to get that god clone can not understand why some of your beds arnt getting as much water as others well stress no more simply out sauce all your farming needs to a pro by inviting me to join your clan
I don't need access to your main base so there's no worries that I'm trying to inside you
I'm also very well versed in all things electric so if you need a hand setting up an alarm system for your farm base or tesla traps in your compound automatic doors or even a radar system around your base to let you know where the grubs are creeping msg me
bigchef11

So me + 2 rushed (skipping most sidequests) the main story line and ended up hitting 50 basically at the last story quest.
We played world tier 2 the whole time, party was Druid/Sorc/Necro
So fresh account/world tier 2 + doing our best to make some/any build work for leveling; I expected to not feel OP but it was pretty harsh the whole way. Most late-story game bosses were 5m+ fights. Monsters scaling with our level works out about as you would imagine; you basically never -feel- any stronger, often you would feel weaker for leveling up. I remember realizing that I basically never felt any stronger than I did when I was level 1 fresh character lol. We did not grind/farm gear at any point, we mixed in a few Dead Mans Dredge occasionally to try and get a few upgrades but never found any GG items.
I was trying to appeal to the 'bucket theory'; but before launch I was hearing some of it may not be accurate. In that regard it was pretty confusing to try and understand how I was expected to scale my damage. They have put a lot of unintuitive damage scaling mods into the pool; no obvious way of knowing if that 40 INT line on my gear should be valued higher than that 20% core skill dmg/dmg to CC line. Eventually this information will end up on the wiki but for your casual audience I think they will have a hard time knowing what gear is better than the other.
We skipped all cut scenes, so were mostly just rushing dungeons. Was rare to run into any issues of not knowing what to do so that part was mostly smooth. HOWEVER leveling via the story quest, and I know we rushed and were doing so in an unintended way, but it was real boring lol. I was thinking at the end there how much I would hate to have to do that again on another char - which I know you don't have to, but then how will I be leveling that 2nd char? Just wandering in the world doing sidequests/dungeons? Idk this system seems wonky.
No issues with quests getting stuck; though was a constant worry because we were just mindlessly skipping dialog "maybe its bugged/maybe we're stupid"
Plenty of gameplay anomalies; most common and drastic one is taking a TP into the overworld and not being able to use any skills/mount etc. and having to relog to fix. GL to HC players lol.
Did not run into the butcher a single time; maybe he doesn't show up in story dungeons. Killed 1 world boss, the one who uses Portals^tm
Personal opinions/mostly stuff I don't think I like;
I don't like feeling like the skills I want to use are drastically worse than other skills; I don't mind not using the 'best' skill but with the skill choices being so limited already it really sucks that some of them are just 100% garbage without some significant investment. Necro Reap looks like an awesome skill but it's lucky hit chance is shit, it's base damage is shit and its resource gen is not great, it just summons corpses once every 5 seconds? I just don't see how that skill is going to find its place but we'll see.
I don't see why it takes so long to get a mount? Then after we got it most of the story quests were in areas where you couldn't even use it. lol.
To me a lot of the story quest felt very uninspired and lazy. Which would be fine since I was going to just skip any way. But some of it was felt like it was intentionally made more time consuming than it ought to have been. Idk how many dungeons/areas in the story we were literally just walking (cant mount underground) for 80% of the time with no monster spawns. Why did we fight that one weirdo literally like 5 times in a row? We played the hardest difficulty but I think we only found 1 or 2 fights that felt 'hard' mechanically. Most were pretty simplistic mechanics which posed almost no threat but were annoying. Teleporting bosses is a bad 'mechanic' and a big fuck you to classes/builds that have poor movement. Bosses with phases where they become invincible until you kill 5 other monsters around the map is a boring mechanic and was used ad nauseum. We did the whole leveling experience without EVER not even one time finding an item we got excited about. Since the world and drops and items all scale with your level I don't even know if finding an 'OP' item is possible. We farmed a very small amount half because we wanted to just beat the story and half because what is the point of farming any way when everything just scales with your level? Yea you might find a decent item but if you level up it just negates that increase of power from the item. Wonky system.
I think that's most of it, the jump from world tier 2 to world tier 3 wasn't very significant so maybe finally at 50 I can begin to start to 'feel stronger'. Never played a 'diablo-like' game where I played 20hrs and never 'felt stronger', idk how to feel about that lol.

Me and my (ex?) best friend had decided to match names together on a game that we played together, and the theme we decided to go with was final fantasy. At the time we didn’t know what names to use as we were both tired and tried to think of iconic names to use that anybody knew and would recognize, stupidly I suggested we go by Rinoa and Squall.
I assume you can see the downfall if you know their story and who they are, if you don’t long answer short their a couple and I wasn’t thinking of that fact at the time and that’s what brings me to this story.
Just a few hours ago I don’t know the whole story but it seems like I won’t know it at all but my bestfriend had been talking with their boyfriend and brought up the fact we went by those two names, we haven’t played the game that was brought up, in over a month and we didn’t get to change the name to something more sisterly like Lighting and Serah which depicts our friendship but aside from that
It started an argument between the two until I finally got brought into the mix and I had to personally apologize for it, which I was glad to do and offered we change the name to something more suitable and that I was sorry for hurting him by using those names, but as I was defending myself and my friend he decided to add more fuel into the flame as I was apologizing.
It continued on until I thought enough was enough and said that I wouldn’t fight for our innocence considering how he was painting me in a bad light and he wasn’t seeing it any different and told him that not everything is about him considering how he would treat my bestfriend during the relationship.
My best friend prioritized him over anything else and he always said and made it seem like my bestfriend chose others over him though half the time it was the other way around, they would cancel plans or cut hangout times short just so they could go hang out with him and not cast him aside. Not to mention the fact that when he was in a bad mood or was frustrated it would affect my bestfriend in a negative way and they wouldn’t want to hang out with him any longer because they would start feeling stressed out.
He doesn’t like fps games or anything related to it so we just didn’t tell him about it, as whenever we talk about the game he brushes it aside or says something like “yuck fps games” and I apologized for that as well.
I ended everything by saying that I was sorry for impeding on the relationship and would understand if he didn’t want to talk to me and if me being a problem is causing the relationship to be messy that I would end the friendship so he feels comfortable in the future and that I would be willing to make that sacrifice as all I wanted was for my bestfriend to be happy and for him to be comfortable.
If I could go back in time and undo the whole matching names thing I would but I can’t and for that I’m truly sorry to him.

​

Phase 0) Digital Economics 101

The Digital Economics 101 module will open 1 week prior to the cohort start date.This is an onboarding module that will get you up to speed so we can get straight into the material.This will be required to finish before the start date.

• Gain a deep understanding of all of the pieces in the digital economy.
• Learn about the future of media and code — the front-end and backend of the internet — so you can focus your efforts.
• Understand digital leverage, distribution, no-code tools, and digital assets so you can take part in the mental & financial wealth transfer.

Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful Niche

Every day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with what will sell.You already have the answer. You just don’t have the clarity.

• Develop a long-term strategy to create your own niche — meaning you don’t have to worry about your “competition” playing status games.
• Discover your life’s work, curiosities, and obsessions. I see too many people that are uncertain about this for years.
• Cultivate and turn your vision, goals, and values into a brand that attracts an audience you love interacting with (and that will buy from you, and only you).

Phase 2) Content Strategy

There is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with. That they are congruent with and trust.It has to change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is:

• Become an expert-level speaker or writer on the topics you care about.
• Never run out of content ideas for your posts or promotions (without using content templates — that’s how you stay a commodity).
• Create posts, blogs, tweets, images, and videos that resonate with other’s on a deep level. People will actually ask you how you got so good at what you do.
• Separate yourself from the ocean of B-tier creators that struggle to sell their products, services, andhave their ideas stick in the head of their audience.
• Implement our Epistemic Research Method — which is just a fancy way of saying scientific research method… but it’s for researching your mind to craft brilliant content and product ideas.

Phase 3) Crafting Your Offer

Most people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge (that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering 95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level (no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information, they want to be reminded of what works.

• Use our Minimum Viable Offer strategy to start monetizing immediately (and have something to improve over time, rather than procrastinating until it’s perfect).
• Have a strategy for reducing the time you spend working over time (as you build leverage and improve your offer).
• Know how to create your own customers from the audience you are building, instead of “finding” the right customer for your offer.
• Take the guesswork out of building coaching, consulting, or digital product offers.

Phase 4) Marketing Strategy

You aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way).

• Learn to sell on social media, in your writing, and across different platforms.
• Have consistent sales coming in while focusing on your meaningful message (no need to sound salesy all the time).
• Learn advanced automation strategies that you can implement at your own pace, especially once you validate your offer.

Bonus) The Creator Command Center

The Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales.

Bonus) Live Product Build & Launch

In the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan.And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work.

Last year I met a new coworker and we hit it off pretty well
We enjoyed each other’s company, laughed, shared stories, played games, and just… it was nice
I asked her out and started dating
However it didn’t last long and she told me she didn’t want to see me anymore
It was kinda abrupt I’m not really sure what it was but I respected her decision
Eventually she went away, she had to go back to college
But
Now I recently heard she is coming back in a few weeks AND…
I don’t like it
The reason why I’m saying this is because I don’t how to handle a situation like this
I know myself
I can be pretty jealous, I can be pretty emotional
I can’t avoid her I have to work with her for 8 hours
How can I put those feelings aside for the WHOLE summer?
My strategy right now is to just play it cool, act like it doesn’t bother me and act like we used to before we dated but those thoughts are still in my head
BE PROFESSIONAL
Truth be told… I don’t want to like her
Romantically of course
There a lot of things about her that are just red flags to me
I thought maybe after a few weeks I talk with her to just kinda clear the air out on what happened and maybe pick up where we left off if we can resolve it
But now… I don’t think I want that
I’ve been seeking love and validation from everyone but myself
I don’t think it’s her I like It’s the idea and those feelings I had when I was with her. She just happened to be the one who filled that void
The big problem is I don’t like myself. I’m never good enough for that mean voice inside my head and I constantly look for approval from those around me and depend on it for happiness
But I’ll be honest… part of me… really… really hopes we’ll get back together because i wouldn’t have asked her out if I didn’t feel strongly about her. I had never asked out a coworker up until that point
But I don’t want to dwell on that, I shouldn’t dwell on that
I shouldn’t focus on that
I need to focus on me
But at work man… oof
What the hell do I do?
Can’t quit, can’t transfer
Yeah I think I’ll play it cool, treat her with respect and kindness but keep my distance and whatever happens I’ll just have to accept it and move forward

Hey everyone :)
Here I am looking for some people to play some chill games with and I'd love to play some today maybe as I'm alone for the weekend and didnt have a proper long session for a while now!
Theres a lot of games I enjoy, for a starter, Heres my Steam. Beside that I got some games of epic (for example some Satisfactory is always good for me :) ) and the xbox games pass. I also play some Lol, but not really competitive and more for some fun and not really good, so if you care about your rank we should play smth else ;)
Mainly I enjoys playing building stuff like Minecraft, Satisfactory, Factorio, ... ... Im also trying to get into WOW Classic a little at the moment and wouldnt mind playing that, but please no rushing through and getting pulled to late game instantly, I wanna enjoy my games generally!
Beside gaming Im a lot into music and music making, also quite interested in engineering, as I started studying electrical engineering 2 years ago :)
Oh and please, I dont tryhard, I wanna have fun and have a chill time, chat and game a little, and if thats fine with you Im sure we'll figure something we can play :D I dont really play COD, Valo, Fortnite... ...
And also, I dont always have the time to play everyday all day, since I met a few people here already who expect others to have no life beside gaming, so if youre looking for that, might not be me either...
If aaaaall that sounds like you might wanna have some fun gaming together, feel free to add me on discord

See you around!

My boyfriend and I (both 22) have been dating for over a year and a half. In the beginning, he treated me like a princess, was always the one to initiate and plan, never stopped expressing his love for me and consistently sent sweet text messages. He was always open to hearing my concerns and I felt really secure in the relationship, knowing that he was an active participant.
Recently, some big changes have taken place in both of our lives, and he finds himself wrapped up in coursework, on campus job and partying. I gave him grace but it was getting really uncomfortable knowing that he never made time to call me. I have high standards for men, and I expect at least 10 minutes of conversation every single day. He used to go on family vacations and completely forget about me, and won’t even bother checking up on how I was doing.
Recently, when we hung out with our friends, I was trying to be close to him, like standing in front of him, gently holding his hand under the table and other light forms of PDA. He disengaged from all that I was left feeling like a fool. He was never uncomfortable with PDA before and always made it a point to show me off and overall being territorial in public and I enjoyed it. When I asked him, he said we should keep it low and I felt like more of a friend to him than a partner. He actively shut down this conversation, refusing to hear my concerns and said I was too needy, too emotional and too demanding. He dismissed everything I said, and although he was jetlagged at the time, that was no way of talking to me. He was already “too busy” giving time to everything except his girlfriend and I resented that.
When I sought Reddit’s advice, I got two things:
1) Got called a bunch of names: “needy” “controlling” “insecure” “codependent”
2) Or given advice that was BS: “talk to him” “say directly” “get therapy” “build some self esteem” - bitch, I have healthy self esteem because I don’t wanna settle for less!
None of this was what I was looking for. I felt neglected, underappreciated and taken for granted in my relationship. Then, I got recommended this book, “Reverse Ultimatum” by Mimi Tanner, that basically gives this advice of leaning back and take an extra amount of pressure off to get his ass to move. It asked me to purposely be less available and “busy” for my man, said no to calls, let him text me and not replying back immediately, got involved in all sorts of activities that made me feel better about myself - and he got curious at first and wanted my attention. It felt sooo good to finally have my boyfriend’s real attention instead of the crumbs he was so used to giving.
But I did not back down just yet. I had to be less available to him, had to fake my busy day, to give him the chance to really miss me and become clingy just like I was once. All the while, I wasn’t demanding or needy or passive aggressive. I was as sweet as a peach and that really created that mystery! I was playing the part of a popular celebrity who was living an “Innocent Charmed Life” - and thus my time was money. I appeared happy, attractive and made it a point to “glow” - and he noticed that! I reassured him whenever he asked me of my love for him, and it finally felt good to be the one who WASN’T asking for reassurances.
I leaned back and watched him send flowers, get me coffee, send me desserts, write poems about me, show me off
So yea ladies, this is me proving how you can absolutely “get” your partner to do things for you and have your needs met. Had I not gotten a hold of that book, I wouldn’t have been able to save the relationship. Today, he treats me the way I want to be treated, because he is afraid of losing me, having gotten a taste of what it’s like to miss me. We don’t “miss” things we already have, and this was the reason why I wasn’t “missed” by him. This was really a turning point in my relationship and today I am much happier with him.
TLDR: playing it dirty isn’t all bad

I was playing DH as a damage spec (I queue as tank and damage but haven't been damage in like 15 levels lmao) so I quickly put points into random talents as soon as I joined. Legit no clue what I even specced still.
The dungeon was THAT stratholm dungeon with Ramstein and the bro who drops a horse. Rogue I was in a previous stratholme wing with queued us for it and I was like fuck it let's goooo. Anyways we wipe a few times on the bosses leading up to him, for some reason there was a rare bat (??) and we wiped on it, and then the tank almost got eaten in the rat cage running back to one of the bosses but my cool Demon Hunte® speed shoes move let me get to him in time to spam whatever aoe moves I had up and he survived.
The spider boss we kept dying on and everytime we died we'd drag it closer to the entrance (like 1/3rd of the length of the dungeon) to the point where if we died we'd respawn and be within seconds of him.
Oh and the fucking Ramstein boss was insane. We wiped twice (tank was tanking the hits surprisingly well but eventually he ended up dying) so one of our members keeps telling whoever to kite the boss. So me and the dps warrior, as soon as the tank dies, start using whatever taunt ability and basically play tug o war while the rogue fucking TEARS into the boss. I'm spamming taunt, then war glaive, then turning my cam fast and spamming space bar (double jump > speedy gliding) to keep a distance. We took about 6 turns of trading aggro before the boss died. Shout out to the holy priest healer for keeping up with our swaps.
Eventually like right before he died though, I got cocky and thought I could sneak an eye beam in while boss is running at me and he just SLAMS me against the room. Luckily he was low enough though that he died within 2 seconds me of dying.
That shit was FUN. Like, normally I'd see people leave or quit the dungeon after one wipe, which that's fine I get it, experience efficiency is important to a lot of people, but goddamn just sticking with it and with a group of people who just flow with it is insanely fun.
I love looking for group so much.

Like several years ago, I used to play Mass Effect 3's online multiplayer. I couldn't kill my enemies with much of the same efficiency as any three random players I was put together with. But these other random teammates never really stick together, revive each other, or complete objective-based waves, because they'd rather just solo entire waves of computer-controlled enemies. Unlike me, who had to do all of these things for my team without being able to kill that many enemies, myself.
And I'm sure that if I went back to playing video games again and played more online multiplayer shooters beyond just Mass Effect 3 on its own, I'd probably be better in a support role for those games than I would have been a frontline combat role. Like, I don't have the hand-eye coordination to aim my gun and quickly fire off shots against an enemy player without spraying and praying and getting myself killed, instead. But at the very least, I can protect, heal, and revive my teammates, as well as complete objectives with the rest of my team, whether they're attack or defense-oriented, all without having to develop my hand-eye coordination all that much in much of the same way I would have a frontline combat role.
What about you? Do you work better in a support role for your team, rather than a frontline combat role?
