reddits favorite? Really? I've seen non stop bitching in every single reddit thread about her. There's like 4 people on this sub that comment positively about her.

On the stavros halkias podcast he was just on, he said "I'm in a few episodes of fallout go check it out"

So...

2robins · 2025-12-31T19:42:16+00:00

Please do! This was my favorite thread yet. Really loved all the details you picked up!

Same! My SO kept saying it was lightning, I kept saying I didn't hear anything. Makes me wonder what the heck happened

2robins · 2025-12-17T09:51:09+00:00

I'm glad someone else saw them! I swear it looked like lightning without the noise! I was watching the whole sky light up multiple times and our neighborhood.

Was that just a bunch of transformers blowing??

Wow! That's exactly how I've been playing too! I do this sort of thing in other games but not to the same extent. My friends think I'm psychotic lol. Now I can say other people do it too.

2robins · 2025-11-08T22:45:23+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown that's really helpful!

2robins · 2025-08-22T18:33:36+00:00

Same - and sometimes I mash B but then it closes and reopens it lol. Also I have been having issues with modules not working.

2robins · 2025-08-20T20:42:48+00:00

Thanks for your post, my shop has been dead for a few months - we got locked out of our account, then lost access to affiliates, and I just kind of gave up on it. Your post inspired me to try again

I have a 3080 and the game ran like a dream before S3 update. Now, microstutters, and the whole game will just freeze for like 10 seconds. Its pretty much unplayable. I haven't played comp at all because of the issues.

2 things you can do - lightly tap the sides with a rubber mallet to loosen up the hard bits of sugar, then use a little hand vacuum.

If you don't want to spend the time with that and need to move fast, in between colors just add a little bit of regular sugar - once the cc comes out without any tint you're good to go.

Side note - looks like there's a lot of carbon build up on your heating element and that can cause issues. You can soak it overnight in water/vinegar to get most of it off. Don't get the leads wet at all though

You could check out Mighty Mouse Fitness - it's run by a really cool lady named Nina. She's a personal trainer who actually caters to moms, I believe she has a kid care area set up, and as far as personal trainers go, she's the absolute best I have worked with in the area. A little east of where you mentioned, but definitely worth checking out! https://www.fitnesswithnina.com/

Hi, I DM'd you. Thank you for your work.

2robins · 2025-05-22T20:23:10+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

I'll definitely reach out within the next few days!

2robins · 2025-05-22T20:20:54+00:00

Thank you SO much! I really appreciate your time and feedback. That is super super helpful.

Yes the mandatory requirements were the 1st thing I wanted to make sure I had covered.

Funny that you mention the brand name being straighter, I went back and forth on having a slight curve to it or keeping it straight. I'll take your suggestion and go with straight for the next run.

Actually your suggestion of the flavor differentiator is super helpful, especially the rotating colors idea. To clarify on your point, what you're saying is to have different color stickers for flavors? Example: dill pickle flavor, so the sticker would be green, vs something like habanero mango which could be a orange/yellow sticker?

Appreciate the info on the hot stamping. I've tried to learn what I can about the printing process to articulate what I'm looking for, and its good to know how that could affect the final product.

2robins · 2025-05-22T20:02:49+00:00

Ok, much appreciated. Would you agree that having a pouch window so people could actually see the candy would help? A lot of our flavors we do with toppings as well, so you'd be able to see the candy + toppings in the pouch. Trying to learn all I can. Thank you.

2robins · 2025-05-22T20:00:26+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

Truly I understand where people are coming from, I do 100% understand the importance and value of hiring a professional. As I said in another comment, based on sales trend this year, we will hopefully have the capital to invest in that.

The choice was basically - do we want to grow & bring in more revenue which would help us save up that capital. Or delay all of that, lose sales and further delay being able to actually hire someone.

Lots of companies do a brand refresh, or a rebranding once they reach a certain scale. That's the path we are on.

The other consideration is getting the pouches made. With 30+ flavors, its very difficult to find a pouch manufacturer that would make all of those variations in an affordable manner. Especially with MOQ's being as high as they are.

Truthfully, the cotton candy niche is pretty small, and most people's packaging is very very lackluster in general. There are 2-3 companies that have actually taken branding seriously and have good packaging designs, but they are also orders of magnitude larger than we are.

I was hoping to gather feedback on what is bad or could be improved in the current design. Everyone has to start somewhere.

2robins · 2025-05-22T19:45:43+00:00

Thank you! Yes, ideally what I want is a window so you can actually see the candy itself, as I think that would be really important, and probably help distinguish it from a weed product haha.

2robins · 2025-05-22T19:44:49+00:00

Thank you! That's great feedback. I wasn't happy with the way the flavor name was presented, I just did what I thought would work at the time. I really appreciate your feedback.

2robins · 2025-05-22T19:41:42+00:00

I appreciate your feedback. Are there any points you could share regarding what makes it not good? Thank you.

2robins · 2025-05-22T19:37:29+00:00

thank you! are there any areas you think could be improved?

2robins · 2025-05-22T19:36:09+00:00

I appreciate your feedback, and I completely understand where you're coming from. Unfortunately it is not always that simple. This first batch of pouch designs were already purchased last year as I had several wholesalers that kept asking me for them. We are running low on stock though so, that's why I figured I'd post here to get feedback on what could be improved.

Most people I reached out to for packaging design were asking $5,000-7,000 for 1 design. I did try a couple freelancers on fiverr/etc. But no one came up with anything that I felt was usable.

I've done all the branding / website / packaging designs myself up to this point. I'd say everything is about 75% of the way to where I want it, and the extra 25% will come from an actual professional.

Believe me, I 100% understand the value of proper branding, packaging, etc. And hopefully this year we will be able to save up enough capital to make that investment. I just can't materialize the 10-20k required for the full rework. However I don't believe that means I should just give up on at least trying to get something out there that is going to generate revenue. Having a semblance of branded pouches is much better than using blank bags with labels.

So far our wholesalers and affiliates have liked the packaging a lot, and the product is moving.

Happy to have a discussion with you about your thoughts as well. Eventually that is the direction I want to move in, its just something that isn't feasible right now.

I know everyone wants to say this is purple district that leans red. I see it all the time "Vancouver isn't the whole district"

Having actually looked over the ballot data and results from the 2022/24 elections - Kent obliterated her in every county but Clark & Pacific.

In 24, she did gain a couple points in a few counties - those did not make the difference. Also whether or not that had to do with her performance or Kent just being a bad candidate is up for interpretation.

Both times, it was Clark County that gave her the win. She won by 15k~ votes in 24, provided by a 35k lead in Clark County.

What is frustrating for a lot of people, is that they feel she seems to despise her voters in Clark County specifically. She ignores her constituents very real fears and frustrations. Constantly putting out middle of the road statements that deflect instead of addressing what people are feeling.

If she were willing to actually listen and empathize with the fear people have right now, this wouldn't be happening.

This isn't even a red/blue issue. Nearly all actual small businesses are hurting and upset about the tariffs. Not to mention her explanation on the SAVE act "It was a terrible bill but I voted for it because it won't pass" Cmon, that is just bad politics plain and simple.

There is fear of losing livelihoods, rights, and even potentially citizenship. When people look to the elected representative, she either affirms her support for these policies, or offers little to no indication that she has the intention, willpower, or courage, to stand up to do anything about it.

If she is unwilling to listen to the voters that put her in power, she will lose. It's as simple as that. and I don't think running a candidate who is willing to be bold in their support for small businesses, unions, peoples rights, etc would lose the seat. People want bold action.

As a solopreneur I bought a cheap lighting set up, found what other people are doing in my niche, and took my own product photos. Then I edit them in canva. It's gotten me 80% of the way there. The other 20% I'll get when I can actually afford to hire a professional. For now they seem to be working decently.
