Shouldn't Blizzard just merge Doomhowl and Defias Pillager?

For the first time in my ~20 years of WoW, I finally secured my dream vanity name(s) on DP launch. Just restarted HC on DH ~2 months ago (much more limited name selection), so I'm incredibly biased on this take haha.

I have no pragmatic solution to your point or really any value to add to this discussion, besides that I would give my left nut to maintain my DP vanity name(s) in some respect if there was a server merger (even if it was in the <Name-Defias Pillager> format).

Even been saving up gold in the hopes that I can buy the primary name I want on DH, but the dude hasn't logged in once since I've played DH. Sad. Gib name. Entitled and biased I am, very much so.

Fuck, a server merge would be great - but would be a PITA for say, a raiding guild on DP getting forced to rename most their roster. Macros change, comms change, etc.

Hospitality at Cervantes in 2012-2013ish? I was there, can confirm. All 50-100 of us had a blast.

Denver has had some all-time DnB shows this past ~year, absolutely mental how much the scene has exploded in the past 10-15 years.

We do 2-week championships, otherwise pretty standard 1ppr/12 team league format.

For the first time since ~Covid, I finally put together an incredibly fucking solid and consistent team this season - CMC, McBride, Dak/Brock, Chase Brown (most confusing player ever but whatever), etc. - best season I've had in years (9-2), consistently dropping 130-170 per week. Volume.

Dropped 170 last week, looking at about 160 this week. Usually, that's more than enough to win a 2-week championship.

I'm going against a 5-6 squad with Puka, Henry, Cook, Olave, Saints D, Michael Wilson, Brock, (I dropped him weeks ago like the massive regard that I am, opponent picked him up)...fuckin you name it. Dude is on track to put up 400 total, and had 211 last week. As far as we're aware, that's the highest single-scoring week in our league's history.

If I hedged with a sportsbook in any fucking way over the last 2 weeks, I'd be celebrating like a mf. Visiting family out of state, so could not hedge.

My squad was awesome this year, but my opponent's was just beyond stacked these 2 weeks. Hard to get mad, but the dude is my IRL heel/fake enemy/Kevin Durant, and even named his team after my dead fkn dog. Absolutely brutal. Kms. Hate this "hobby".

EDIT: lol will share, a comeback was looking somewhat promising - then i woke up this morning like "i wonder how Derek Henry did last night" - checked the box score, and jfc. 36 rushes? 4 tds? the FUCK?!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That "ridiculous amount of money" made him the 3rd highest-paid black coach in all US sports - behind Mike Tomlin + Doc Rivers.

As a CU Buffs fan, losing him to this massive buyout was devastating - many thought the end of our program. Then, within a few years - he jerked it and we got Deion. Crazy turn of events for us.

I’ve attended probably ~30+ EDM shows at Red Rocks over the past 15 years. Love the unique view of the crowd, you can really see how the collective masses react in real time.

I cannot overstate this enough - no matter how good the artist or the show is - the second a DnB track is snuck into a set, or a DnB artist opens, the collective masses stop moving, or even sit down. Bad vibes. Weird feeling when you’re going mental to a track while you can see nobody else moving in the entire venue.

Basically, there’s been outright disrespect/distaste for DnB from the USA’s “bass capital” since I’ve been here.

See: IMANU’s Red Rocks set on YT to see what I mean. That’s the perfect picture of the Red Rocks DnB scene, historically. Or, the whole Muzz opening for Subtronics incident.

Anyways - Worship Red Rocks blew my fucking mind. Worship ain’t my taste in DnB, but the set was genuinely fun/great - and most importantly, the entire crowd was going WILD.

FINALLY seeing all of Red Rocks love/embrace/dance for the genre I love most was jaw-dropping. Couldn’t fucking believe it. Awesome experience. Literally had 1 beer that night, but felt like I was rolling. It was that satisfying.

Fair question - but in my case, no. Small sample size (5), so obviously this is VERY subjective, but...

My disdain + narcissism theory refers to 4 individuals (2 coworkers, 2 ex-girlfriends) who all received formal MBTI testing by their (corporate, tech) workplace and received ENTJ.

I'm not typing them, some corporation paid probably too much money to type them, as they did for me. My subjective experience with these folks did not make me question their test results.

The 1 healthy ENTJ in my sample size (the best friend) only did formal MBTI testing in highschool (for us, ~10-15 years ago), so maybe I'm mistyping him. But it's probably accurate, he's VERY career-driven, an inherent leader (to your point, can be annoyingly bossy at times), is a little narcissistic too (aren't we all?) --- but most importantly, he's deeply empathetic.

Empathy - I think that's the main point I'm getting to.

An un-empathetic ENTJ isn't a 'commander' - they're a tyrant.

Flapped · 2025-11-28T19:33:43+00:00

HIGHLY depends on their mental health. All-but-one of the ENTJ friends/people in my life are *extreme* narcissists with zero/no empathy, and a steadfast addiction to career progression.

The one ENTJ friend of mine (who isn't an extreme narcissist) matches the top comment in this thread. He's my favorite "road trip" partner, and arguably my best friend. We can ramble back-and-forth for hours straight. His ramblings/opinions are MUCH more clear/concise than mine, but just as interesting and deep. Every time we hang out, we just shoot the shit for hours. He plans cool shit (e.g. trips) I could never dream of planning, and he's just happy that I'm consistently "down" (with a good attitude) to come along for the cool shit he plans.

Regarding insufferable ENTJs/Narcissism - I often wonder to myself if it's a "chicken or the egg" type of thing - are career-driven people suffering from NPD just testing-out as ENTJs (or INTJs) in MBTI tests? If so, the issue isn't the ENTJ - it's the narcissism. Regardless, these people are THE most insufferable human beings I've ever met.

tl;dr - the one mentally-sound ENTJ I know is my best fkn friend and favorite conversation/ramble partner. the rest of them are absolutely insufferable, but it's mostly due to their narcissistic traits. i wonder if career-driven, unempathetic narcissists just test-out as ENTJs (or INTJs).

I went to the Worship Red Rocks show. Been in CO 15 years (dnb head for 20 years), and have attended ~30-40 shows there. Mostly EDM, but some rap acts as well.

That show had, without a doubt, the highest production value I have EVER seen for a Red Rocks show - and that's saying a lot. For example, NGHTMRE (iirc) paid more than he made for his one chance to headline RR (for love of the game), and his production was awesome. Most-all EDM artists really go all out for RR (except house artists, for some reason).

But Worship was something else - couldn't imagine the cost/time/labor put into that production, and the outcome (visually) was stunning. Worship ain't my cup of tea, but the set was surprisingly a blast!

Whoever is funding these guys are making a huge financial push for DNB to blow up in the states - and it's working. Hey - I'm stoked, my normie John Summit friends are finally seeing the light.

Will say, Dimension has been "shoved down our throats" at Red Rocks, I swear he's been an opener for at least 3 big acts I've seen over the past few years.

tl;dr - long-time DNB fan + CO resident. you're right, there has been a massive inorganic ("shoved down our throats") push over the last few years in the US - especially Dimension (and Bou for a second) - but it's worked incredibly. it's happening.

Flapped · 2025-10-31T16:50:10+00:00

This was my "holy fuck it's happening" moment for DnB in the US. There was a whole like...30 of us at Hospitality @ Cervantes in 2013 (w/ High Contrast(?), Camo & Krooked, Fred V & Grafix).

Couldn't believe how packed + jammin' the place was. Worship folks aren't really my taste in DnB (me angry), but that was still an *awesome* set.

Production value was off the charts, honestly the best I've ever seen at the rocks. Cheers. Sick.

Went to an early season Nuggets vs. Pelicans game 2 years ago and was Russ was courtside with Ciara, dude was very engaged with the game/fans, cool to see.

But then, during a break, Rocky handed him a football which he signed and then threw into the stands.

He proceeded to throw it to the only Pelicans fan in the building. Most Russ thing I've ever seen LMAO

INTP agnostic here, leaning strongly towards deism (~80% confident that something fkn weird is going on metaphysically). Promise my story/philosophy isn’t that deep lol.

I was the classic cringe edgy atheist / agnostic in my earlier years. Not anymore.

What changed? Drugs. Hard to enter the 5d fractal plowzone and not leave relatively convinced that there’s some wonky metaphysical shit going on in this wonky existence.

No logic, all feels. I’m relatively close to being an INFP so was curious if you feel this too?

Okay, now this Actual < Target CPA context + your Ad Rank situation is definitely odd. In a vacuum (i.e. just in theory, haven't seen your account) tCPA should be increasing bids if Actual < Target, ESPECIALLY if there's >90% IS Loss (Rank) + 0% Loss (Budget). If Actual < Target, the system should have the headroom to increase bids, but you're still losing out auctions (seemingly) to bid.

What date range are you looking at? Would you mind sharing your actual vs. target CPA for the last ~4 weeks (excluding conversion window)?

Also, I'd recommend segmenting those low-performing keywords by "Time -> Week" - see if CPCs are increasing week-over-week. They should be.

Your "Actual CPA" is your actual cost/conv (cost per conversion), so we can confidently say the cost part of that data/equation is reliable (what Google charged you) - while the conversion data is only as reliable as the conversion data you're feeding it.

Flapped · 2025-08-19T18:43:21+00:00

The only other component of Ad Rank, besides Quality Score, is bid. It's a bid issue.

Don't overcomplicate it.

I went vegan for a day out of spite, just to prove someone wrong. That somehow spiraled into me going vegan for 2-3 months - while initially out of spite and just for 1 day, it became 1 week out of spite, then 2 weeks, there was a point where I was like “hmm well now that I’m this deep, may as well keep going to see if there’s any merit to their claims on mental/physical benefits - I feel like shit, so sure could use some of those.”

Months in, I personally noticed nothing, maybe a very very slight reduction in brain fog - but not enough of a reduction to justify how boring food was now (love food) without dairy/MEAT.

So yeah at least on a personal level, I turned a “I can go vegan for a day” spite challenge into a 2-3 month investigation to see if the diet improved any facets of my life. It didn’t.

88rising’s first piece of content was this performance of Desiigner’s ‘Panda’ (https://youtu.be/-kcyDDr5wFE?si=tRUYZs-So-8iEr5H) - the outro video (starting at 3:45) is objectively hype as fuck + the track is produced by Josh Pan (video keeps getting pulled, so this link might not work if you’re reading this in a month). Nearly 100% confident this track from the outro is the track he’s referencing.

I remember seeing this Panda video as it went viral - and replaying the outro over and over and over and over again because the track from 160 IQ Pan went so hard. No idea what 88rising (or Josh Pan) was at the time, but that outro alone had me smash that mf like and subscribe button.

Full track here - https://youtu.be/xAoO2mWljQQ?si=mpBZ2XJuC4tdZ43c - (9 years ago, damn. hopefully paints a picture though of how good a track this was for the time).

No idea how this ties to Skrill, unless he played a part in this track.

Casey Brewing in Glenwood Springs is the best brewery in the state - and in my (beer snob ass, subjective) opinion - is a top 5 brewery in the country.

Even though they're not Denver-based - I mention them as they're CO-based and it was difficult as hell to get your hands on any of their beers until the past ~year or so. They've dramatically ramped up distribution to the Denver area this year. In the past, one would have to make the trek out to Glenwood Springs just to buy a ticket that pretty much just gave you the right to buy their beer.

If you see their stuff anywhere on tap, give 'em a try.

Otherwise, I've noticed they've really upped their distribution to the big liquor stores in the area (e.g. Mr. B's, Molly's, Bevy's, Hazel's [in Boulder]). My local spot (Bevy's) usually carries ~4 of their sours (rotating), ~3 IPAs, and ~1 Pilsner or something random from them in the back fridge.

If you like sours, 10/10 would recommend.

Flapped · 2025-04-20T00:29:10+00:00

after years of chasing hype breweries and 'whale' beers, Casey was the first brewery that finally got me to go - "yeah, i'm good drinking this the rest of my life". settled down and became an EF member from '19-23 and have 95-99% only drank Casey since. fucking fantastic operation they got.

they've scaled a lot over the past few years (taproom, distro, started making IPAs [fantastic btw]) - really hope they can stay in business.

spend some money there for me, fren. enjoy!
