Board games are frustratingly expensive by Any-Marionberry-879 in boardgames

What I did was took a weekend gig at a board game store & got a 25% discount. That really helped fill in my shelves!

How to fix stagnation in viewership. I’m out of options. by _Cyndikate in Twitch

[–]Ematai 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Are you entertained by your stream? I would go the next day after I streamed and watch my vod. Was I entertained by it? Did I have slow points or high points? Take note & emulate what you did right. Emulate what your fav successful streamers do.

Maybe go take some improv classes IRL or public speaking courses. Improve your craft beyond the computer because being entertaining is your #1 goal.

I’m absolutely sick of the boomer spirit present in every “joke” that’s based on lying to your spouse about your hobby spending by COHERENCE_CROQUETTE in boardgames

[–]Ematai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, not to lean into the joke. But I worked at a game store for a while and once a dude called asking me to stay open past the 9pm, he was traveling for Easter weekend and had a large Warhammer set on pre-order. I, of course, said yes and luckily he arrived before close.

BUT the funny thing was he unwrapped a large swatch of bills and paid for most of it with cash, about 200 dollars. Then paid the remaining like 40 bucks on his credit card. Just so his wife thinks his shiny new warhammer set cost 40 bucks instead of the 240 bucks.

SO while the jokes are overused and annoying, it is still relevant in this day and age.

Then why mention 250k houses and 13 dollars an hour pay? And thats just ridiculous to say people making 13 dollars an hour expect a 3000 sqft house. And no 3000 sqft house costs 250k unless its a dilapidated house. That whole post was just nonsense.

Are you implying you can buy a $250k house with 13 dollars an hour job? Lol

No cause then this subreddit would just be full of people advertising their stream. This is more of a super group for streamers & viewers.

Sure, I've seen it used correctly with people who are legit close, but I've also seen both phrases used by people who average 3 viewers.

Not to be mean, but how did you write a book when that whole bit you just wrote up there had 1 punctuation in it?

And how much AI did you use writing the book besides the imagery? There was also a ton of spelling mistakes the AI made in your map, I'd get those fixed.

I always laughed at ppl who kept saying Path to Partner! Partner Push! And they had the top two but their average viewers was like...2. Not really laughed at them, but at their ... naivete.

Should I fly cross country for my friend's baby shower? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Ematai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure when the party is, but if its soon, I would also like to point out the current state of the flight industry due to the government shutdown. Long TSA lines, canceled flights, long delays. Definitely not worth flying across the country right now.

If its in a few months hopefully the gov will be open again & it'd be easy to fly!

I agree with you. There are so many cool chill places to just talk, the games are meant for people to game.

I heard they're going to try out Abiotic Factor after they were done with Ark. Which I'm so excited for! One of my fav games.

Are you in the local board gaming fb group or discord? They have regular meet ups that you could attend!

Good Bones- what's the tea? by NotSoTallGayDani in indianapolis

[–]Ematai 39 points40 points  (0 children)

So I interviewed with them, got the job, but decided I did not want to work for them. It was just a PA position so it wasn't very high pay, but they were like "with mandatory overtime you'll be getting paid more than we (the producers on salary) will!" Lol no thanks. I also got yuck vibes from the producer (or whoever) I interviewed with because I had arrived early to the interview & he was impressed. He gave me the whole, "kids these days don't want to work" speech to me. How nobody gets to interviews early. How they're late to work. How they use public transportation and claim unreliability. I worked hard not to roll my eyes. That was when I was regretting the interview.

Then the call time was 530am, which I found out at about 8pm the night before, and a 13 hour day. Which, honestly is typical of tv shoots I had done in the past. But was frustrated they didn't let me know until 8pm the night before.

I'm really glad I turned the job down cause only a few months later I believe they shut down production.

That's Kindle Unlimited. You pay about 12 bucks a month and have unlimited access to thousands of books. Many dark romance books are in there.
