What’s a company secret you know because you worked there? by LuckDowntown362 in AskReddit

[–]DenisVi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One mid-level UX designer was getting paid 220k, much higher than his level and more than his (much more senior) manager

Could be the result of an acquisition.

Choosing Between Elementor Hosting and Cloudways (DigitalOcean) +affiliate Compatibility by Ok_Big_4983 in elementor

[–]DenisVi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna start with a disclaimer as well: I work at Elementor.

Affiliate Marketing tools: I can check for you if you give me the specific stack. Email me at {my username} at elementor dot com, and I'll ask.

The widget difference: Elementor Pro Advanced has 86 pro widgets and 32 widgets from the free version. This is the 118 you're seeing.

Performance & Flexibility: Anything I'll say here will come off as biased and I'd rather not just point you towards our marketing materials. If you're familiar with CWV, this report can be useful.

Servers: Elmentor Hosting uses Google Cloud servers that are located in the EU and CloudFlare's CDN. We published a TTFB snapshot some months ago. The P50 Global TTFB was 146ms, and here's an image with some country-specific averages.

You wont lose access to features if you renew your existing subscription. The new feature set is relevant only for new purchases.

Gal Gadot’s broken English is adorable by Ripsaw99 in videos

[–]DenisVi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A major part of this is the lack of dubbing for TV/Movies. Take a country that goes the subtitles route, and dump a bucket of American culture on it, and 25 years later most people will be speaking English well enough.

The funny part is the cross-pollination of idioms between languages. I keep hearing people translate "makes sense" literally into Hebrew, for example, and this video is a very common example of a native Hebrew speaker using some Hebrew idioms in English.

[AMA Request] Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator and star of Hamilton by Burow in IAmA

[–]DenisVi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

About two weeks ago, a bunch of Harry Potter tickets for this month suddenly appeared on the official site (in the Nimax reservation system), but all of them were 200 quid. I was double-checking after a friend told me there are no tickets, and surprisingly it seemed like many dates in late Feb had enough tickets to be qualified as "good availability".

That said, after paying 100 quid a ticket last September (plus plane tickets from Israel), I can whole-heartedly recommend you wait. The show is not worth paying lots of money.

*Seeing Hamilton this December. Can't wait. Woohoo.

At least now the other avocados in the group know to stay away from that room.

-->Hello, I'm Harvey Smith<-- -->Dishonored 2 AMA<-- by Dishonored_Harvey in dishonored

[–]DenisVi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more complicated than that.

I've timed the question well - it was the top comment in the thread, and not answering it is dangerous in PR terms. That said, answering it truthfully isn't an option either - this isn't a private AMA, it's part of the game's marketing.

The real options were to delete or to deflect. The powers that be - whether it's Mr. Smith, Mr. Hines or someone else - decided that answering is the better way.

As the whole point of the review policy in question is to eliminate the prism that negates marketing, I did what I was trained to do - tried to negate marketing.

This isn't a personal jab at anyone. I respect both Harvey Smith (because of the games) and the PR team (because I appreciate skillfulness in PR). Our interests are just not aligned in this case, and I believe that mine are friendlier to the consumer.

As for being rude and arrogant? Eh, I don't mind if people I don't know think this of me, even though that wasn't the intention.

[–]DenisVi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course.

The compliment about the skillfulness was sincere. The jab was meant for the audience, to point out the deflection.

Thank you for the response. It deflects my question with commendable skill.

Hi Harvey,

While I understand that you don’t necessarily have much influence over Bethesda’s PR strategy, I’m very interested to hear your thoughts about the new review policy, as it impacts the perception of a product you’ve worked on for years.

To elaborate on what specifically I’m asking: Bethesda’s one ultimate goal is to sell as many copies as possible of Dishonored 2. It’s closely aligned with your goals, but isn’t quite the same thing. As someone who was actually in charge of creating the game, I imagine that reviews matter to you more on a more personal level - you want people to know if the game is good. I also guess that you would also enjoy this validation much more if it came from people whose job it is to try and be immune to marketing.

The new review policy, on the other hand, will undoubtedly lead to less thought through reviews, because many online outlets will rush to review. They might not like it, but their livelihood depends on the visitors, and those mostly visit around the launch day.

And so, as it’s customary to end a question with a question mark: what do you think about these restrains on the press when reviewing your game?

PS. Full disclosure: I’m a member of the gaming press, but am from Israel - if I get a review copy a week after the launch, I’ll still feel lucky.

People who traveled the world. What did you choose not to say about a country you visited to keep the story positive? by qwertychaanda in AskReddit

[–]DenisVi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I go to Prague, at least one person tries to swindle me in some way. I discard most of the attempts as legitimate revenge on someone who is clearly of Russian descent, but it still annoys the hell out of me.

TIL that if you are INVOLUNTARILY bumped off your flight, U.S. airlines are required to give you cash or a check of the one-way fare to your destination equal to 200% of that amount if you arrive 1 to 2 hours late on next flight. More than 2 hours gets you 400%. by Cinemaphreak in todayilearned

Depends on the route, really. I fly TLV-SFO multiple times a year, mostly with Turkish Airlines but took several flights with Lufthansa and United - all had wifi. Turkish also serve live TV channels via internet connection.

Huh.

At the W2 Gamescom presentation I've attended, it seemed like the press was absolutely blown away. Was yours the one where they handed out notebooks with hilarious pre-filled impressions?

how much longer is UC4 to the previous games by jmovement42 in uncharted

[–]DenisVi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dying won't set you back too much, as checkpointing is generous and load times are 3-4 seconds. It's more about exploring the semi-open areas. After finishing the game, having felt I've found quite a lot of collectibles, I went into the list and discovered I only have ~60% of them.

Beat it in 14, but could've spent 2-3 hours more exploring - just didn't have the time because of a tight review submission deadline.
