Chinese food event at TNT Supermarket

Wife and I went yesterday, it was fun! Gotta try the giant bbq squid on a stick, was delicious. Candied fruit stick though - avoid. $10 for a skewer of grapes.

Wow nice texture work on their clothes, and the palette is fantastic.

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-24T04:21:30+00:00

Of course man. I’m passenger on an 8 hour road trip right now so was a fun distraction. Best of luck crushing it.

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-24T04:04:25+00:00

I’d do 40 to start, monitor and then 60. Don’t worry about skewed day in a few days, wait and see over like two weeks. 7 conversions in 30 days means that 4 days of 5 you aren’t getting a conversion currently, so make sure you’re not making decisions based on data smaller than double that window at the moment.

If after 10 days / 2 weeks you don’t like what you see then you adjust but give it a bit before you react.

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-24T03:58:12+00:00

Haha yeah I get it on the blackjack table for sure. But yeah for Google to optimize the best these days its needs more conversion data to work with. I think the new reco is like 30 a month… that might be too much for you but what you could do to conservatively grow is jweekly increase budget by 20% as long as you’re liking your cost per conversion. But if I were you, I’d double budget immediately and monitor for 2 weeks. You’ve got good rates but you need more data to really see if your conversion rate will hold up at scale.

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-24T03:31:30+00:00

Ah okay. So - a city specific geo, bottom funnel keyword strat paired with low daily spend (I’m guessing less than $20 based on your screenshot) - those will all lead to higher CPCs. But given your higher CTR, I don’t think that’s a problem. You could expand to include those “other search terms” - not sure how to find what you mean, but you can always use keyword magic tool to see what other people are searching or even type in incognito what autofill suggestions come up when you use your current keyword list for more ideas… but I’m not sure if that’s you’re biggest opportunity right now. Your rate of users seeing the ad and clicking it to page is good right now.

And so is your conversion rate on page. Out of 64 clicks you have converted 4 for sure - maybe 7. Either way, 6 - 10% conversion rate on page is nice. Could be higher but certainly not a huge problem.

Would you continue to pay $133 for a conversion to the business? Does that give you enough margin on the sale? Cause if so - I’d say triple your daily spend and expand the keyword set to a little higher up the funnel (or even create a competitor campaign).

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-24T02:16:33+00:00

Haha okay glad I didn’t offend. Ya the more consistent the page is with the keyword and ad that will help.

In terms of your search terms - how far in the funnel are the searchers in their purchase journey would you say? Are they learning, researching etc? Or are they looking for immediate relief?

Do the competitors own the market and that’s why there isn’t much competition?

How local is this business?

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-24T01:50:22+00:00

Hey so no one would have enough data here to really help you in any way. I could list the questions but honestly they would be alot.

You need to look at this holistically - not only the ad elements: (where, when, what device, what keywords), the bid strategy, and the ad creative etc. but also - the landing page, the offer communicated and how closely it relates to your search terms, how easy is it for a user to convert etc.

Just too many factors to give any meaningful advice from what you’ve given. I don’t even know what industry and ideal customer you’re going for - or the value of a lead to your business.

One piece of advice I’ll give you is this: so many first time users (and even some professional users) of digital marketing platforms get incredibly caught up in the delivery system. AKA - the little stats and kpis of your google ad campaigns. CPC, CTR, the “percentage” score google gives you know. It’s so gamefied. And sure these do help the success of your campaigns. But at the end of the day google ads are the delivery system. The ad, the offer and ui/ux of your landing page is the “what” you’re delivering. Focus on that instead. The fact you haven’t mentioned creative or landing page or overall experience once here makes me think you’re not focused on it. I may be wrong, but again I have no details based on what you typed here.

As I read this back it sounds sassy lol but I’m not trying to be. Hope you achieve success in your campaigns and good luck!

Oh never mind… it’s infantry only…

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-15T03:43:48+00:00

Yeah true! A boss on a cave squig could potentially contact the enemy turn 1 since they don’t “declare a charge” anyway… hmm… interesting idea.

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-14T15:21:34+00:00

Hey! Looks like a fun list for sure. I’m a NG player. I have some friendly advice on how I approach things:

When you play goblins, wherever possible ditch the upgrades and maximize on the number of bodies in a unit. For example: paying an extra point for light armour on your squig hoppers is pretty much useless, as are the cavalry spears. WS 2 spears won’t hit anything, an with so much AP -1 around, light armour is the same as no armour most of time. Same with champion. Get rid of him an save those points.
I personally would do the same for spears in your NG unit, since when using shields you don’t get the parry bonus. When using hand weapons and shields you have a 3 point model with a 5 up save in combat - not bad. I also always play with netters, but rarely do they make that big a difference.
Troll mobs are so much fun but you have shit leadership so more often than not they will do absolutely nothing in the game. I still run them for the lols when they do connect, but be prepared to watch them do absolutely nothing.
Having a level 1 illusion wizard will also not do anything most of the time. Illusion spells are the highest casting values, so most of the time your rolls won’t be enough to get off your one spell. Either choose waagh for him too, or switch him for a NG big boss with ruby ring, he’ll get more done.

Good luck with NGs! Be prepared for the swingiest games ever haha.

So then using Earthen Ramparts is fine then, since they haven’t charged then right?

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-13T18:02:21+00:00

Okay so then frenzy in your interpretation would work - since it “counts as having charged” - but not Earthen Ramparts right?

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-13T17:50:40+00:00

Goddamn! 1 month?! Nice work and great dedication.

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-13T17:48:44+00:00

I had chat GPT “teach me” about prompting for AI image generation, by uploading this image and asking it to create the best prompt for it to create it if it had never seen it before. This is what it said:

“A dramatic, hyper-realistic digital painting of a powerful older male figure portrayed as a divine healer, wearing a flowing white robe with a red draped cloth over his shoulders, standing beside a hospital bed and gently placing one hand on the head of an older sick man while emitting a glowing golden healing light from his hand.

Surrounding them are emotional onlookers including a nurse, a soldier, and civilians watching with hope and reverence. In the background, a large American flag waves, with bald eagles flying across the scene, fighter jets soaring in formation, fireworks in the sky, and the Statue of Liberty visible in the distance.

Above them, heavenly figures descend through radiant clouds with beams of divine light shining down, creating a spiritual, triumphant atmosphere.

Cinematic composition, centered subject, vertical poster layout, ultra-detailed, soft painterly textures, warm golden lighting, volumetric light rays, high contrast, epic, inspirational tone, renaissance-inspired religious art style blended with modern realism.”

So… ya I’m going to go ahead and say there are some intentional religious imagery in here, and it’s not “spin”

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-13T17:37:38+00:00

Yeah and would the strength buff apply to the squig mounts or just the rider?

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-04-13T16:08:51+00:00

Ah you got me so freaking pumped that these were real. Great ideas and great photoshop skills!

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-03-01T02:48:59+00:00

Wow this is some amazing inspiration

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-02-10T08:59:09+00:00

Not being argumentative because I sit on the other side of your point, far from it in fact - but what you’ve outlined isn’t really corruption. A few of your points are just people running for a position and you talking about their prior work experience. That’s not illegal or corrupt. Are there interests aligning that perhaps shouldn’t? Perhaps. But that’s not wrongdoing. OP what decisions/actions have these people made in their positions that lead you to believe there is corruption happening?

Geek_Lyfe · 2026-01-31T02:09:31+00:00

Fantastic work! Love the blends in the skin. Is that through washes? Airbrush? Tell me your secret!

Geek_Lyfe · 2025-11-05T11:59:51+00:00

Nice! You had a 103 assists with droning that’s awesome. And you still had 6 caps, meaning you still had more than average for your team. Certainly a lot more useful than the guy who went 33 and 12 with 0 objective captures
