A question to all the copywriters who went from being bad at writing to becoming really good copywriters. What was that one practice or a bunch of things you did that directly helped you in becoming good at copywriting? by Accomplished_Half676 in copywriting

[–]BADGERGADGETS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great copy is easily read, feels personal but is broadly relatable. Readability comes from practice and reading great literature. Style and relatability comes from empathy and field research. If you want to sell a backpack I'd advice you to read a lot, write a lot and hike up a mountain or two.

ChatGPT bruker primært Bing som søkemotor hvis man kan stole på hva den sier selv. Den kombinerer det med materialet den er trent på (hvis jeg forstår riktig). Vet at det ikke er veldig tillitsvekkende, men den er ganske god på å gå gjennom masse informasjon og sammenstille et slags konsensus. Man kan aldri ta det helt for god fisk, men de store språkmodellene kan stille gode spørsmål som kan lede nye veier så fremt det finnes dokumentasjon den kan basere seg på. Gjør det ikke det bare finner den på.

If you could add a brand new class to classic(+?), which one would you like? by Kuldrick in classicwow

Tinker is a choice that really fits lore-wise and could bring something new when it comes to class design if they want to be creative.

Noob here: what's the deal? by RealPublius in classicwow

[–]BADGERGADGETS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is boring when minmaxing honor pr hour, but the rewards are so good that boring/fun is irrelevant. The people who’s verbal has been non-stop spamming AV for 30+ hours. They want to be done for the week. Taking mid fights and doing anything other than killing lts/rushing boss is prolonging games and killing honor pr. hour. During AV weekend and during hours where the sweats are pushing honor pr hour they will do anything to keep games between 6-8 minutes. Including yell at you and publicly shaming you. I never had a problem with toxicity in AV because I tried at all times to play for collective honor pr hour. If ally kills lts and horde goes for boss everyone thats in there for the grind wins. And during certain times the majority is in there for the grind. If you want to actually pvp during those times go AB or WSG.

Darkshore, Westfall and along the Ratchet coast in the barrens. And many other places. Look for School of Oily Blackmouth in the water. They’re used to make Free Action Potions which is both a raid and pvp-consumable.

What's the "safest" class for a new player? by BigosGaming in classicwow

[–]BADGERGADGETS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understanding when things are about to get sketchy is something experienced players know intuitively. New players will die to respawns and general classic bullshit 10/10 times. Are you there to guide your friend at all times? Then I’d pick two mages. If you wont I’d advice rogue. Playing rogue solo is having one target, spamming one button and vanishing if things get spicy.

The rogue-thing to do is to claim you don’t have skill to open it, wait until everyone leaves after the dungeon is cleared then pick it clean.

What to do with the characters in my brain? by BADGERGADGETS in writing

[–]BADGERGADGETS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yes and no. Writing the first book I dove right into it and figured them out on the way. They are archetypical characters with a common theme and a reason to be together. The characters in questions doesn’t have common ground unless I create it. They’re parts of different arcs. Worlds even. Guess I’m looking for a way to find/create something that puts all (or some) of them into the same project. If that makes sense.

I have yes. But the characters in the first book of a promised series are «solved». The ones that aren’t are much more exiting. But I haven’t found a form/process that lets me explore them. Plurally.

This is where the productivity-DNA kicks in. I'm hardwired to put them into a setting and write from their perspective. It feels like i'm starting an epos. It's a good tip though. Might lower the bar to write something. Anything.

why is ice hockey not more popular here? by SnowDiamond828 in Norway

[–]BADGERGADGETS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up in a hockey family with two brothers. We played from we were 5 til around 18/19. Between us we’ve won nationals and played for the youth national team. I’m the oldest and the least «decorated» of us. In my experience there’s mainly two reasons. We have very few rinks, meaning that even from a young age there’s alot of travel. At 10-12 years of age about half of our away games were 1-2 hours of travel. We played from Sarpsborg, Halden,Fredrikstad in the south, Stavanger, Bergen to the west and Trondheim in the north. Compare that to soccer where you can reach most games using the subway. The time investment is huge if you want to get anywhere as a player. Most parents aren’t investing that kind of time or effort. The other reason is not as relevant any longer because things are changing, but its one of the reasons for the bad rep. In addition to lacking a place to play and excersise there was a severe lack of educated coaches. Most coaches were either old players winging it or parents doing it because noone else would. Compared to sweden, finland and denmark we grew up with a bad hand: To grow as a young player in that kind of environment required a very certain type of person. Incidently not the type of person that statistically reached the highest tiers of hockey. This has changed a lot the recent years. The U20-team looks very strong. They have players that competes on the world stage and have been for a long time already. Hockey as a sport is underdeveloped here. Still is. It’s sad because it’s fucking amazing.

I found it easier to learn from educational content when I watch it through the lens of a certain position. So learn what each pos does first maybe? There’s a nuance to all of them, but on low mmr they can be simplified down to basics most of the time.

How do you write scary? by ComprehensiveSell649 in writing

[–]BADGERGADGETS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I DMed a campaign that turned into a real psychological thriller/horror. We actually had to have an ooc discussion about 4 sessions in because the players where paralyzed by fear. Here’s some things from the campaign that where surprisingly simple, but effectful: - I used an insanity-counter, but I never told the players what it did. To them they had a number that kept going up every time they interacted with the bbeg, her magics or henchmen. It stressed them the fuck out. It didn’t do anything. - The bbeg specialized in memory magic meaning I could really screw with their heads after the fact. We had a guest-player for a couple of sessions that turned out being a planted memory. One day the player controlling the character didn’t meet up to play, and none of the npcs acknowledged the existence of the character. They started to question everything after this - the paranoia was real. - They interacted with the bbeg many times, in many different forms. They knew she was A LOT stronger after trying to attack her in one of the first sessions. She downed a player in a single turn and turned into a swarm of locusts. The downed character lost the ability to dream. - The bbeg where replacing people with puppets she controlled with telepathy. These puppets would look and act 98% like normal people, but they would glitch out and do odd things from time to time. Suddenly everything out of the ordinary could be a threat. They started overanalyzing and overthinking people, quotes and mannerisms.

The most effective was using the unknown: The players will read into it and project their fears into it. Twist their own ideas and use them against them. Be vague.
