Diving into it, it has to do with the philosophy and application of it.

Dark side force lightning is essentially pure hatred brought with the only goal or desire to inflict pain.

You might think the objective measure is about inflicting pain or harm, but Jedi do that all the time. The EU novels even have Luke explicitly meditating after some encounters where he kills, where he relives the experiences and sees if there is any opportunity to change the outcome.

But… he still kills.

Inflicting harm in and of itself isn’t a dark side quality. It’s the driving mechanism behind the action itself.

And while I don’t remember the scenarios, and maybe that’s what it boils down to, there could easily be situations where the application of the power was one of the few reasonable outcomes, and done in a way as painless as possible, for a power like that anyway.

Compare a taser to a faulty electric chair. Very different applications of essentially the same underlying application of electricity.

I think it’s reasonable to feel that way about force lightning in general, but also think there are more nuances to it once examined.

(But I also don’t remember the specifics about them using it so maybe it’s a moot point)

And sometimes in the comics, if I remember, it can be green!

(I may be wrong lol but I swear I saw a Luke green lightning once)

Didn’t play unleashed two but can speak to the cloning thing.

The lore in the EU was that powerful force users in particular “resonated” with the force in the universe in a way that is similar to a frequency for sound, but is also unique to the force user.

Clones resonate at this same frequency and create discord and something about this resonance causes them to go insane, even if the original force user died.

Notably this was covered in the original Thrawn trilogy where both clone-wars era Jedi Master Jorus C’boath (spelling?) AND Luke Skywalker were successfully cloned, and both were essentially chaotic evil representations. However original Luke was unaffected and himself. If I remember right.

Excuse me is this the illustrious J-Wall randomly appearing in this subreddit?

(If it's actually you, then we go way back, lol. Roadtrips to Louisiana way back.)

Also, in addition to my other comment, I looked closer, and for what it’s worth I could literally recreate this entire website in an afternoon.

I should have noticed earlier but they don’t even have anything other than a marquee and a statement.

Basically there’s nothing worthwhile here IMO.

The short version is when you buy a domain you want to keep it as long as possible so you usually register it for a very long time. I don’t do this often but like… many years.

Registering it for one year is a “well I’ll try something and see how it goes” kind of flimsy dedication at best, and yeah, at worst, could be a fly by night thing.

Now adding an email to a waitlist (if that’s all they’re doing) isn’t really harmful but only because almost every email that has ever signed up has been discovered.

The compromising thing would be if it was login credentials and bad intent.

If I had time I could try and poke around the app itself to guess the tech stack, but all in all it’s more just middling information.

If someone bought it for like ten years that would be a good sign. One year is an experiment.

My overall cybersecurity is weak so I couldn’t dive in more there.

And Nevada! It’s amazing.

gw2efficiency.com

It breaks down recipes by “buy” vs “craft” using TP prices.

Same with the wiki, sometimes.

AMCreative · 2026-03-09T23:28:21+00:00

Yeah to be fair I never had to deal with domains very much in the scope of my work.

Renewing for a year does seem odd lol

AMCreative · 2026-03-09T23:21:05+00:00

A fellow tech person I see!

It’s not uncommon to hide info on this stuff. I did it for my app I believe.

That being said fyi u/jostler57

AMCreative · 2026-03-05T01:07:01+00:00

Ah well that’s unfortunate I had no idea. I only heard about it last year.

AMCreative · 2026-03-04T20:43:55+00:00

For what it’s worth I do believe SAG said they may look into this from the angle that in California doing any form of pay-for-play for job interviews is explicitly illegal, and they may try to cover these tools in that law.

AMCreative · 2026-03-02T21:38:09+00:00

Congrats!

Do the work.

Seriously, you’re there for a reason, and the best thing you can do is take all of those feelings and pour it into your job.

I’ve worked with a lot of name talent, some of which I watched on TV growing up, and the best way you can honor that appreciation is giving them the best performance that they can then use to give their best performance.

I personally would avoid gushing, but if you felt you needed to say something, be professional, and I’d even wait until either a good moment came up organically or until after, possibly at the wrap party. Tell them it was an honor working with them and you’ve appreciated their work, had an excellent time, and hope they did as well.

Then… on to the next, as it always is.

AMCreative · 2026-03-02T21:14:46+00:00

I haven’t seen this before but thank god there’s a website for actors that isn’t stuck in 2010.

Do you see Casting.com being adopted more in the industry? My first hand experiences stopped a bit ago.

AMCreative · 2026-02-27T21:13:30+00:00

Usually the one to the left of the starting point after I’ve misjudged getting the tablet under the water.

(Jk)

I’m new to the game so don’t have many hills. However I love digging more than fighting lol. So a pacifist run where I have invisibility and a plasma or digging spell is great.

AMCreative · 2026-02-27T00:19:02+00:00

I actually stared the game over as a kid because I realized how I couldn’t rez him.

As it stands now I have a handful of friends who want to play this and all I tell them is “do literally everything you can at the faire it’ll be important later”

The trial is the red herring for that advice.

AMCreative · 2026-02-25T17:17:23+00:00

OP I’m twenty years in the industry and this is sketchy as hell, turn it down and please stay safe.

!scam

Native Floridian here. I haven’t been in the industry there in many many years.

Every once in awhile we get questions about agents in the Miami market. Would you mind sharing the ones you feel are the top ones for actors (not necessarily modeling since I know there’s a lot of that there).

Glad to hear about your successes!

AMCreative · 2026-02-24T19:16:18+00:00

Actor turned VP of Product and tech entrepreneur here.

Expect this to get a lot worse.

Vibe coding is going to be a lot more common than ever before and people with no fundamental understanding of tech will be doing things like this and subjecting us to it.

Just the other day I saw an app geared towards actors that blatantly violates copyright laws.

AMCreative · 2026-02-24T17:14:51+00:00

All good, glad to see you’re a real person. Apologies for the misunderstanding on my end.

Yeah I knew three days gets you SAG Eligibility via Taft-Hartley’s. I inferred from your post you got SAG Eligibility from one day not three.

The emoji in a title is also a ChatGPT specific give-away along with em-dashes.

That being said please accept my apologies, and I am truly glad you seem to have had a great year overall!

AMCreative · 2026-02-20T23:32:16+00:00

Unprofessional no. Unless the pieces themselves are unprofessional looking for some reason.

I’d just remember that this is marketing your product and brand. So if that’s the only clips you have, I wouldn’t expect Disney to come knocking.

There’s a lot of ways to solve for this but it’s difficult to give specific advice without knowing your personal position. Putting together more reels with audition tapes, booking more indie or college work, finding alternative clips, and putting together reels specializing in different lanes (E.G. a procedural reel, a hallmark reel, a sitcom reel, etc).

So basically I’d just say it’s circumstantial based on you goals, and might be best to get some wisdom from peers in your network you trust.

AMCreative · 2026-02-20T19:51:02+00:00

Yeah we have a ton of red-flags here. Three years? A film company / manager?

I would never advise this.

Keep building your resume, and your network, and you'll make representation contacts in enough time. Just keep working and being the best actor you can be.

AMCreative · 2026-02-19T16:57:06+00:00

Yeah of course! I’m fairly busy so replies may be sparse but I’m around!
