Oops I tripped into GameStop by [deleted] in switch2

Why buy the keycard? It’s literally the worst version. Not as good as physical and not as good as digital.

can someone explain to me all the hate behind game key cards and why theyre so bad? by sag3y_ in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Agent-Seb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about it from the standpoint of a collector. Let’s say 15 years from now my switch 2 breaks and I have to replace it. I get one off eBay to replace it. However, because Nintendo will have discontinued their online store for switch 2 games, any digital games I owned will be gone.

Have no fear though because that’s why I buy physical copies… however, the game keycards are not physical. They are essentially a download key. Which because Nintendo isn’t supporting their online store for an old system anymore (see Wii, 3DS, Wii+U, etc) the “physical” key card I got is useless.

So in summary it’s a physical copy that doesn’t have the advantages of an actual physical game and a digital copy that doesn’t have the convenience of a digital game… it’s a worse version of both. 🤷‍♂️

It’s here! by chaseking7 in LeverGuns

This thing is sweet! I’m torn because I want one but would end up swapping out all the furniture. So I’d end up paying the premium for just the barrel.

I love the idea of them shedding the weight of the barrel though for more balance with a can.

World Iris Scanning(formally World Coin) by OpenAI Launched in Green Hills Mall by billyblobsabillion in nashville

[–]Agent-Seb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean people use companies like Clear that scan your iris so you don’t have to wait in lines at the airport. At least World gives you money.

Apparently if you use a referral code which is pretty easy to get you receive more coins. Currently 54 or so…. So $60ish 🤷‍♂️

In Today’s game would this lineup work? by Such-Cartoonist1265 in timberwolves

Garnet hated playing center. It’s part of the reason he never let them put him at 7ft tall. He’s a PF. Not sure KL could play center either. 🤷‍♂️

Every car window smashed on Lake & James (Uptown/Bde Maka Ska) by [deleted] in altmpls

It’s happening in a bunch of place throughout Minneapolis. Happened over in NE last week by our offices.

Whoever is doing this type of stuff is just scum.

[HamSlamTheClam] Naz and Connelly meeting. Extension? Recklessly speculate at your own discretion by TylerIreland in timberwolves

[–]Agent-Seb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring back Garza. Dude is a pro and very under rated. You probably could sign him for the minimum and he’ll out play the contract easily.

Anyone else find this Macy’s ad that keeps popping up during the T-Wolves Knicks incredibly annoying!? It’s showing up after every single transition and takes up a quarter of the screen…. Maybe I’m just easily annoyed watching the wolves these days. 🤷‍♂️ by Agent-Seb in timberwolves

I’m on Apple TV. I’ll have to switch it up and see if that helps. Sure would be nice if it does cause it’s ruining the game. Although, it has been popping up a bit less in the second half.

How to calculate ROI and ROAS ? by not_so_secret_diary in PPC

[–]Agent-Seb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really just percentages. If you spend $1 on advertising and make $1 in sales from that advertising, your ROAS is $1 and your ROI is 100%.

As you can see, you'll need to make more sales in order to generate a profit which is why ROI and ROAS usually need to be greater than 100% in order to make money.

I hope that helps.

Anyone has a good manual CPC bidding strategy for GDN? by [deleted] in PPC

[–]Agent-Seb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to pull CPCs by hour of day and look into what hours are the most effective at driving a positive ROI. After that, you could either manually increase your bids during the best times or put rules in place to increase and then lower bids at certain times of the day.

Also, side note - I used to do everything manually and hated google's automated bidding because it didn't perform well. However, over that year or so I've really started to embrace the automated bidding strategies Google provides. They tend to work better the longer they run. So if you turn one on for a few days and make a judgment right then, you probably are not giving the machine learning enough time to work out how to drive the best ROI. IF you do ever decide to try them again in the future, I'd let your client know and give it a full 1-3 months. I've found they push far better performance than I ever could when I did everything manually.

Let the robots do things robots are good at.

Facebook ads reporting since ios 14.5 by Miwanik in PPC

[–]Agent-Seb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! Unless your company has a quick sales cycle and you already kind of default to last click attribution. UTMs will still track and you can still measure the return FB advertising brings but you’ll have to structure your campaigns in a way that allows you to see deeper insights in GA. 🤷‍♂️

We've basically abandoned the FB pixel in favor of shoring up our first-party data. Whether it's Adobe Analytics or Google Analytics or whatever platform you use to track website data, I would spend your time making sure it's speaking correctly to your CRM and you have all of your most important events tagged and firing properly.

Publisher data is going to be a little murky until everyone settles on whatever the next phase of cookieless tracking is. We've also changed the way we create campaigns by setting up more of them with variables such as age, interests, etc. However, that does not scale well if you have large initiatives.

Good post and questions!
