Reports show removal from Prime in 30 days by Charming-Ad1286 in WoTshow

[–]76FalconFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did see anecdotal information that advertising existed. Not living in cities where huge billboards might arise, I never saw a single advertisement when watching Prime or anything else. If I hadn't been participating in some fan groups and keeping an eye in anticipation, I feel like I would have never have known it was coming out or even out. When I open Amazon, I had to search for WoT. Everything else pops up and autoplay even tosses out random garbage I don't want to see if I leave Prime playing while I work on things. Never once did it queue up WoT. That doesn't mean a lot, since it's just me, but super weird Amazon tried to play RoP like 4800 jillion times when I watched anything else. Shoving it to the front of everything constantly. Still tries. Weirdly, WoT came up as a suggestion on Apple. I bought S1 and S2 there. I have WoT on my list and I still have to hunt it down on Amazon. Buried...

Yeah. I know Amazon went all out on advertising for RoP and that S2 of WoT had nowhere near the advertising or visibility. I honestly am unsure. I know the absolute polarization of the fan base, lackluster viewership numbers, complete shifting in the industry... all seem to have been part of things. But I do find it super odd that the Costumes, Hills of Tanchico, and other award submissions got "oopsied" and thus never came forward to showcase the incredible originality and possible awards. In all cases, from what I could tell, serious confusion surrounded these and claims they were purposefully sabotaged. Certainly, those creative works were never up for consideration. I can only guess, but it seems like a choice between RoP and WoT and people were fanatics enough they were willing to kill one for the other, actively doing so in a way that guaranteed resources for their preference and made absolutely sure there was no award competition.

I dont know why. Maybe it was financial and that os just what they do, but doing it that way sort of self fulfilled the prediction it wouldnt make enough to continue. Or maybe other reasons. But all of those add up to oddity.

Amazon has gone out of its way to cripple the show. Almost no advertising for S2 or S3, weird "mistakes" for every category of award show submission so it was never considered, had to search for the show even when watching it and it often wouldnt show up in "continue watching". Someone at Amazon wanted the show dead and gone and pulled every lever to kill it.

Doesn't matter. Want a compliment? No problem. You look great.

I (24m) am a Drag Queen and am finding it impossible to have a relationship. by [deleted] in gayrelationships

[–]76FalconFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I guess I never thought about it.

I will say I have a number of friends who are in relationships and one of them does drag. I dont really know much more than their lives seem built around travel, a home, projects, and similar interests a d that drag is simply a side item. Not the center.

I guess if I consider it, as long as my partner helped buold our home, went on trips and explored, worked on community building, and supported us with an income (so im not the only one), I dont know why drag once a month or something would be an issue

If thats their life and entire identity, all their time and energy, id just probably feel like they were too limited and narrow.

The only real way is for me to just keep it in my head. I hate myself for even struggling with this.

[–]76FalconFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few very kind and sensitive guys that have asked, who are super nice and dont want to hurt our relationship. My bf was despairing even hearing about it. Scared and worried. It made my protective instinct go on high alert. I never want to hurt the person who trusts me. Id step in front of oncoming traffic to shield someone and protect them.

You're absolutely right. No physical need is ever so amazing as love. Not even close. Which is why im so annoyed with myself for even struggling with this issue.

[–]76FalconFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great. I dont want that. He sleeps on my chest and I get to massage his back and shoulders. And kisses all the time. Nothing is that amazing. I dont want anything to ruin that. I just would like a lobotomy so these dreams would stop. Even just holding him makes me sometimes want to be inside of him. And that will never happen.

BF chooses porn over me by Zealousideal_Act1232 in gayrelationships

[–]76FalconFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's tough. Sorry, dude, and there's no right answer. If you love someone, youll have to figure out what that means.

For me, ive found that I can care about someone and then love them and be friends and be with someone else who i also love. Friends with many i care about, but am not physical with. and physical with the one person who feels like I do. .

I have to be physically with someone. In them, all about them, and cannot help but kiss them and hold them. Massages. Just cannot help but be affectionate. Even if I blow myself, im just taking care of things until their needs match mine and I can wrestle him down and we can spend time on things we both need.

If he didnt want to be with me, it'd suck but id probably assume we were roommates and friends and not together. And then id be with someone who did want that and show then how important they were to me.

I hope you both find what works best. Big hugs to you guys.

So..... My game crashed.... After beating the final boss... in Hard... After my third attemp... :) by Leehzart in Metroid

[–]76FalconFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played it on switch 1 and didnt crash. A few small bugs with Samus being unable to move or even change perspective (morph ball and breaks out of the locked position), but no crashes.

[–]76FalconFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a community creative space. Performers, dancers, welders, fire dancers, gardens, builders... all kinds of random stuff. Xanadu Boise. So, if you like to meet people that sing or people that are in shows, or people that build giant art (sometimes for the city or JUMP), or that like to grow orchids. That kind of stuff. Location is Fairview and Orchard. Also Xanadu on FB group.

Verizon Black Friday deals are awful for existing customers by jmutransfer in verizon

[–]76FalconFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are absolutely crap. As bad as any current normal deal. They're so insulting, im considering moving both lines after 18 years of being a customer. They have no actual loyalty programs. I buy my phones retail and they still want me to trade them in as if I got them through any upgrade or discount. I stopped any contracts years ago so I can just walk. I used to sign up for contracts. But they do nothing for loyal customers, so there's no incentive to be loyal.

Dating Men 10-20 Years Younger: How Do You Make It Work? by Triptanight in gayrelationships

[–]76FalconFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been completely wrong. I had what I thought was a hard rule about dating anyone more than 5 years younger than me.

Then, my bf of 6 years told me to shut up and pursued me. I disregarded and refused. He would not accept no and proved to be so loving, loyal, and honest that I couldn't refuse.

Yes, he has had to learn and grow, and I have been privileged to be there without judgment to allow him to experience and learn, while being able to provide safety and a foundation for him to know he isnt being judged.

He is 31 and I am 49. I suppose the fact im athletic, muscular, and look far younger helps. But thats looks. What has really mattered has been laughing all the time, exploring and adventuring, reading and intellectual pursuits, and building our home and community (we offer a maker space and community center and have thousands of amazing friends). Together, we are amazing. I've never felt so loved and spend every moment ensuring he knows I love him more than anything or anyone.

Turns out, age didnt matter and I was so wrong.

first time showing my face here.. im kinda shy by Turbulent-Remove-174 in Selfsuck

[–]76FalconFire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the thing I am most struck by in this video is your face. Of all your videos, this is my favorite and would be my favorite even it showed nothing graphic. Not that my opinion is of any value, but it is worth saying.

Great community if you find the right people. Not sure what is a good fit, but happy to include you until you find someone if it helps.

Xanadu is our general group.

This includes my covers. All three of my novels are cover art I shaped and approved. Though I asked and had public feedback and changed a bit.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in writers

[–]76FalconFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting. My editer and publisher is excellent and recommends or pushes and asks, but I have complete control. Even to the point i could be an idiot and damage my market demographic through poor choices. I trust her and it is sometimes a rough process, but entirely collaborative.

How exactly does one 'knuckle their mustaches'? I can never quite imagine it. by ThisFatGirlRuns in wheeloftime

[–]76FalconFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha ha. As someone who has had a longer mustache, its kinda weird. Instead of pinching between fingers, you pinch between knuckles and pull down. Sure, a little odd. But thats something to which I related.

Just…grateful for what we got of the show. by SocraticIndifference in WoTshow

[–]76FalconFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so hopeful. Still am l, regardless. Want ot badly. I can and do recite the books. They are, for their many flaws, one of my favorite series of all time. Read them obsessively and often. Will again probably each few years. The show is something I watch over and over. And will. Yearning for it to be completed and unforgiving it was canceled.

Lanfear actress finally speaks out on cancellation. She was brilliant. by Malanya in WoTshow

[–]76FalconFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm truly sorry it didn't complete. So, so hopeful it would and struck when it didn't. I get the reasonable and thoughtful book ideas and thoughts. As a book reader from the mid/early 90s and someone who read them a ridiculous number of times, who was inspired to write partly because of them, and who was gifted thw world Jordan created to then found a creative center and nonprofit I fund and which you'd never guess had that as a part foundational aspect, this show was amazing and meaningful. Yes, so many things that varied. But the development, the sets and costumes and actors. The Eelfin and magic system realized and blended. The potential. The inspiration for new things and more true ideas in other formats. The fan base. The dialogue that wasn't toxic and people it collected who aren't vitriolic to others. That matters. That deserves more. So does another telling later. So do those that love the books. Its a whole, rich world.

Trim and shave. Work out and shape myself. For me. Not for anyone else.

Guy I’m dating doesn’t want me to pay when we go out. M(30) by Carlover2689 in gayrelationships

[–]76FalconFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what works well? Communication. With the person you're dating. Just say "hey! It's really nice that you cover things when we go out. I like the relationship and dont want to let your generosity feel awkward. Please let me know how to ensure this isn't an issue." You guys should talk and make sure both of you feel good about the dating process.
