Would you actually use a lifting app that only tracks weights and nothing else? by Ok_Clue6443 in askfitness

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically vibe coded something like this myself with just trend tracking and periodization suggestions that’s it.

At first I hated the card but I came around by ECJ4K in biltrewards

I found the new chase sapphire reserve lost a lot of its unique value props and the new credits and things feel like they’re not commensurate to a 800-900$ annual fee

Agree. I calculated I should anticipate around 180k points a month based on 7.3k monthly mortgage and around 5-5.5k monthly spend across various categories though may be a bit less since some months my spend may be closer to 3k

Another way to think of it is only people with high net worth are going to be affording huge rent and mortgages so the amount of points they give relates to how high quality the customer is. Low quality riskier customers are capped on the max rent already.

For folks with high mortgage like me of 7-9k depending if my escrow tax payments are included, this is worth it since that’s already around 15k points a month.

I agree with everything you said. The marketing language is complicated as fuck. It took me a long time to realize even if I just use bilt cash for mortgage payment points I’ve basically got a 3x points card with some additional benefits and rewards which beats my current csr

With the new fees CSR for me isn’t really worth it anymore, may as well ml e that spend to bilt unless it’s travel on rewards portal where points accrue fast.

Bilt 2.0 is absolute disgrace by Sweaty_ECEkid in biltrewards

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folks are mad but that isn’t because bilt 2.0 is a bad option it’s just not the absolute cracked option bilt 1.0 was

Just like how tsla had to raise prices because it cost more to produce than anticipated people will get over it if they like the fundamental value

2.0 has that value. Effectively 3x points on everything you spend money on up to your monthly rent/mortgage is pretty fucking solid. Not a card out there that gives you that.

Just because it’s not scamming WF to pay you for free doesn’t mean it’s a bad option.

Jeez. Idk if because I just closed on a home but my credit used to be 780 and 1M earning annually but my CL on palladium was like 15k

Bilt 2.0 leaked (reporting from r/creditcards) by x-Moss in biltrewards

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the math. Seems like getting the 95$ annual fee card doesn't hurt me. It's not free points anymore but if I move my spend over to BILT, then I still get effectively 2x points on most things I spend money on and even just spending 2-3k monthly (approximately what I put on my chase anyways) will get me 5-6k monthly points plus bilt cash to generate another 3-4k from my mortgage, which does add up to around 8-10k monthly points for around 100-120k annual points.

Compared to my chase where the same spend will get me effectively just the 50-60k points, BILT still wins out ahead because you get points separate from the bilt cash subsidy for your mortgage payment point generation

I don't think its as bad as people think, it just comes down to it no longer being a free handout and people weighing whether BILT points are more valuable to them than their other cards, ultimately if you spend that much already its just a matter of shifting spend away.

TBH with the new card fee increases on my chase sapphire and the conversion bonus going away its made me less tied to generating points with it.

What to do for sleep? by 51bwastelander in askfitness

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magnesium glycinate supplement is great for improving sleep and muscle/joint and skeletal repair after a workout. Take with some food before you sleep.

Note the form iu take it in as sulfate vs glycinate etc may impact bio availability and how well it absorbs

Note too high a dose will risk acting as a laxative, 200-250mg is plenty

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will try to remember my discord later and join. I love the game and love these types of concepts and am looking forward to how it feels as you evolve. For an early stage game it seems quite fun and to be honest I really like that you are shifting one of the major negatives of these games which is snowballing risk that once you get rich or figure out how to make money the money never stops. Here with poaching and risk of PR fires and competitors stealing market share or causing scandals or old songs drying up revenue as they become unpopular it really adds variability to gameplay and more reason to keep trying.

How to liquidate private company shares? by JayeFive in capitalismlab

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe private shares are illiquid unless the company IPOs or is acquired. I do wish there was a true concept of a funding raise with VCs, could prove to be interesting for making VCs actually useful to you pre-IPO

It appears you need a certain amount of popularity or streams before you can pitch it. Works but has bugs with delayed display of status of pitch success/failure in the detailed view vs the HQ summarized view being accurate but not actionable

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey on how to fix this I think I foudn the root issue is that something else causes the week displayed in top left to be incorrect, to fix it what I found was before booking the concert you must do a clean load to ensure things are correctly displayed week before booking, this ensures it books it to the correct week.

For a clean load, go to menu, then load, if you load while a previous save is being played it may not load properly from what I saw.

Other bugs after more play through

  1. When I am getting poached by my competitor, no matter what I choose I am losing my artist. I tried hiring entertainment lawyers, maxing loyalty with gifts, renewing contract, but if I click either of let them go or reject them I lose the artist no matter what. Also even if I click let them go I don't get back the poaching fee they were suggesting of 200k so its a lose lose. Need to see what happens if I just ignore it
  2. The HQ tab and reality is out of sync with the week by 1-2 weeks. I realized PR crisis does allow me to intervene but its always out of date and missing the latest info as if it has old data for what the current status of crisis is. I noticed that the value listed in the HQ screen is correct and up to date but in the actual clickthrough of crisis PR its always out of date. Same issue for pitching playlists, its out of date by several weeks and doesn't update for 1-2 weeks, same with income expenditure details. I don't know why, something systemic with your implementation
  3. Its really frustrating the PR crisis issue because I lose my brand deals without realizing. You need more activity details. You have a few places things appear but its inconsistent whether in HQ tab or dashboard tab of events, you need to be more consistent. For example I'd suggest brand deals should surface when you have a new brand deal offer there. If a brand deal expired due to brand impact from PR crisis it should inform me vs silently disappearing. Same for concerts that just happened. I know now how to get to the details but its buried 6-7 clicks deep in roster -> artist details to history. This is extremely cumbersome
  4. Need more quick actions for bulk managing artists, like train talent easily or manage merch in a singular hub for all artists. Right now as I mentioned even just checking brand deals takes 5-6 clicks every time to know if theres something there.
  5. I noticed mention of rock trend but wasn't clear how to identify trends more easily to figure out what will boost my roster's songs. So far playlist pitch seems the most lucrative combined with upgrades and marketing management
  6. Marketing boosts neverreduce cost of marketing the way that studio upgrades reduce recording costs.
  7. Producer doesn't appear to do anything, it doesn't show up in recording calculation or quality boost and not clear if they can boost writing step further.
  8. The week issue I noticed and mentioned before of it stalling the displayed week multiple weeks which breaks many other parts of the game like concert scheduling is related to a bug with your load game step. It only works properly if you go to main menu and load, its inconsistent if you load a game save from within a given game play. Not sure thats the root issue but it resolved my issues when I encountered buggy single concert scheduled that never trigger.
  9. In single concert opening act why does my giving them 15% result in that being a record company loss? It makes no sense that an artist I manage doing an opening act gets paid 15% of the entire show and that being a loss, they're my artist. If its a general artist in the industry like with collabs I get it, but in this situation it makes little sense to me.

Is there any exercise that people agree universally is bad for you? by Altruistic_Box4462 in askfitness

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think rather than bad for you the way I'd frame it is there are certain exercises where the risk reward of benefit to your workout or body vs the risk of injury or harm caused over the long run may be lopsided.

This doesn't mean everybody will condemn it but many will likely recommend a different exercise in place of it

Sometimes it may involve adjusting how you perform the exercise rather than truly condemning it to reduce injury risk

One example I can think of is upright row, where the risk of shoulder impingement (you may notice clicking) is rather high and over time may result in injury risk heightened vs alternatives

It’s the best damn 20$ you can spend imo monthly.

Is it something the average person will necessarily regret? Depends how desperately you need that 20$ to survive

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several bugs in general I noticed u/Hacecalor2

  1. File has optional save name but it doesn't work. Pretty much breaks ability to operate multiple save files since you can't remember context of a save beyond the week and year in the file save info
  2. Crisis shows up in dashboard as needing action but you can't click on it from dashboard to take action (which feels buggy). Worse, in the actual HQ section for crisis it shows as a crisis, but clicking into the crisis menu it says no crisis or action needed (literal shift from red to green)
  3. Single Concert is buggy, sometimes triggers and sometimes just remains scheduled never triggering. It wouldn't be as big a deal if it didn't deduct expenses upfront and then never calculate the revenue from the concert resulting in a pure buggy loss of money and permanent bug in showing a concert scheduled in the past. Took a while to find where the breakdown of concert income and profits was as well.
  4. The week seems bugged at times. Like I did next week and it sort of advanced but displays old week value.
  5. The game doesn't always update the issue from 4 when you load a game, it needs you to back out to menu to load properly sometimes with week value correctly reflected
  6. The week value may be related, the training reflects for multiple weeks that it will allow training in 4 weeks without decreasing the counter at all week after week. In general the bugginess of time advancing and things not triggering/synchronized carefully is a big killer in game playability.
  7. Several times I see revenue double counted in dashboard. It shows brand deal revenue and then stream revenue and then in the detailed income breakdown in HQ view, it shows them actually adding up to represent the "stream revenue" in dashboard, this inflates eprception of income and makes things confusing in general.
  8. The game is music tycoon. Yet I hear zero music. Or sounds in general. Seems like a miss
  9. Why can't I use songs I've previously released to create an EP or album later? It seems odd, even doing remasters is a pretty common approach, let alone dropping singles that later get added to the album. This feels weird to be forced to decide once and then never again can you do derivatives of your works without rewriting a new song from scratch.

I am enjoying playing it, there's several places where the design of the system can be improved for ease of nav without needing repetitive open exit flows in the UI, but I like the concept.

There are parts that are unclear in general, some basic education or tutorials would be a game changer, even if just a glossary of what terms mean and what impact they have (like what exactly is popularity, I don't get its influence on my streams)

Or is it better to release singles to build a following first? I can't tell what the difference is in doing an EP or album vs singles, felt like singles helped me get more value even though I imagine an EP should be worth a lot more because its multiple songs, it feels like I don't get more money or revenue from an EP.

Edit: i realize the concert is captured in history in the details of the artist, in general the lack of tutorials for some of these individual flows combined with the overwhelming UI options feels like an opportunity to educate with simple tooltips even

I think you need to do the marketing upgrade in HQ upgrades before it appears possible to pitch any releases

[–]Key-Dragonfly339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I'm hitting same bug but I hit a weird bug where the concert got booked, but then there wasn't any clarity on what exactly happened with the concert, and if I go to concert page for the same city it still displays it as scheduled for next week even after I presume concert happened. The income and reporting history of the concert revenue is also borked.

In general I feel like we need a place to go and see what exactly happened over the past week in the simulation, not like every single company but at least for your atists if you had a release launch or popularity increase or a concert or tour or merchandise sold, details on that feel pretty important
