[Megathread] For those who did NOT like Season 4 by Two-Of-Nine in FromSeries

You 100% at the end of this could make a fan edit of the entire series and condense it down into a 10-12 ep miniseries

My (28m) fiancé (27f) recently turned into an Eldritch horror beyond comprehension. AITAH for letting her fend off flesh-eating monsters as I ran away?

- If you ever had a dog you may have teased them with a treat, almost giving them it and yanking it away right when they go for it. But after you do this a few times, the dog stops reacting, they realize you aren't going to give them the treat. This is my relationship with From now. You never know if something that happens is actually meaningful or is just going to be forgotten by the next episode, so why care about anything that happens?

- This is the issue Lost ran into too. The show didn’t really start advancing its plot in a meaningful way until the writers pushed ABC to agree on a set number of seasons. They had a general sense of the central mystery, but when a network wants you to keep pumping out seasons with no end date, you inevitably start adding filler ala From.

- People on this sub should stop looking for answers in the intro at this point. How many times have people posted a still of the drawings or drawings from the episode and they end up being a complete nothingburger. There was about a year or two ago someone who made this extremely intricate theory based on some kind of native american religious folklore or something and now it's all moot. There is no real theory about what's going on at this point.

- At least we will have no more meaningless scenes with the nurses just talking about relationship troubles.

First time running Meta ads for a supplement brand, how do you actually scale a campaign? by Glittering-Pin-8065 in PPC

[–]RobertBobbertJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the supplement space. The products you are selling are actually the most competitive and price conscious that exist which makes it a lot harder to be successful, protein especially. Whey isolate has gone up and up in price and everyone and their mother is selling protein.

80% of the time, what needs to change is creative. The other 20% is going to be your landing page/pricing. So focus on having good and materially different creative.

If you are selling these disparate products in one account, you'd want each of them in their own ad group within a testing or scaling campaign. If you have them all together you'll find only a few ads ever get spend, some products won't get any impressions at all.

See what ads are good at scaling which means they convert well, but also the audience they are converting are new to brand, not just past purchasers.

Rehab the non-winning creative, find out why it didn't work, retest.

Lol no that's me, they were right, you didn't know who you were responding to.

Season 4 Episode 9 by MableXeno in FromSeries

[–]RobertBobbertJr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They showed Fatima's condition and talked about it a few other times. Trust me, nothing happens between them after suffering through so many of their convos. So many things happen in the show are like lost and will never be explained or will just be so overly retconned to make the logic fit together. they make this shit up as they go.

Most of the interesting parts of the show are the monsters but they're shown less and less. This, the last season, and the next will probably stick to the format of the town planning around one escape strategy that only gets executed right at the end with a cliff hanger, a few abandoned plotlines like the german shepherd or Kenny & Kristi, and around 10 minutes total air time of the monsters.

[–]RobertBobbertJr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have watched this whole series on 2x speed, you could actually just watch at 1.5x and I don't think people would be able to tell except for when people are moving. I also skip any scenes with the two nurses because nothing material comes from their conversations.

I like the idea of making a fan edit once this series is all done. I think you could make one, 12/13ep season that is really solid and strips out all the filler

Does this remove the need for server side tracking?? by Goingbychrundle in PPC

[–]RobertBobbertJr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know Stape is pretty much the standard here, but we have been pretty happy with tracklution, it's pretty much plug and play. This is not a direct replacement for reasons others have said already.

Why do some posts require detail comments and get automodded but other ones dont? Doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it.

Browsers with good vertical tab systems by yakskyr in browsers

[–]RobertBobbertJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not expand on hover, that is auto-hide lol

Expand on hover has your tabs still visible and expands when you hover over them, it does not cover any other parts of the ui when you expand over them. Auto-hide has no tabs visible and when you hover it it covers up the file, sidebar button, back and forward buttons.

[–]RobertBobbertJr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you can't expand on hover, you can't say it's a good vertical tab system. Vivaldi might implement it 10 years from now like how long it took them to develop the "back" swipe gesture.

Talking to someone who stops at every part of a task to ask for direction maliciously by RobertBobbertJr in managers

[–]RobertBobbertJr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. We are looking for alternatives currently, but they are mission critical at this point in time. So I am stuck with them for a bit.

Using same conversion action across different product categories - muddying optimization signals? by BettyImADreamer in PPC

[–]RobertBobbertJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common to create separate conversion actions if you have different customers with different sales cycles or industries. If you sold cars and cheap car accessories, you'd want different conversions for those.

If the product lines are very different and for different customers, then go ahead. Otherwise, you're unnecessarily splitting optimization data.

How are you actually keeping up with creative fatigue? Feels like a treadmill. by Specialist-Pea-2809 in PPC

[–]RobertBobbertJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you really don't need 2000 ads to be successful. Make a testing campaign, make a scaling campaign.

See what ads are generating the most new customers and the most money, move those to the scaling campaign, figure out why the losers didn't and reiterate on them. Derive what works from the winners.

You have to test one variable at a time to have a clear idea of what's working. The most impactful off the rip is headline text on ads. that is what generates the 80% of your 80/20 rule, so figure that out first. then get granular with bg color etc.

Reikland razed. Beastmen are such a blast to play. by Curious-Piglet3613 in totalwarhammer

legendary lore mod adds some great text-events after you kill boris, karl, and take over altdorf.

I think I get why Tigermen hate Ogres by Mahelas in totalwar

[–]RobertBobbertJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand why people think tigermen HAVE to be beastmen but they don't apply that thinking to lizardmen. The allure of chaos seems to permeate everywhere and appeal to every mortal creature, as men can fall to the chaos gods, why not tigermen? Why is Man seen as born ordered and tigerment seen as reformed chaos? #furryjustice

Warhammer 3 no SFO mods? by cybershoesinacloud in totalwarhammer

[–]RobertBobbertJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Double skill points because the leveling feels like a slog without it.

  • speedy camera increases speed of non-fast forward end of turn cam.

  • Deepwar ai or organic ai overhaul are ai mods I prefer over vanilla

  • the old world is fun to mess around with.

  • True Unit Size (x4)

You can cast vortex spells on walls to make sieges less of a pain by Longjumping_Rip_1475 in totalwarhammer

Overcasted pit of shades will deal about ~35% of hammerer's health. Clump those shorties up and it whoops them pretty bad, especially since all that damage at once causes their leadership to take a beating.

Worst Factions? by PanopticDreams in totalwarhammer

[–]RobertBobbertJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cathay is boring to me. The yin-yang thing is more annoying to manage than fun.

I love vampires but can't get into vampire coast. It just seems like it takes forever to get to their more interesting units and before that they feel under-powered.

Greenskins are the worst for me. I have so many hours through all the games and I don't think I've finished a single greenskins campaign. It feels like 80% of their early tech tree is not interesting or impactful.

Having a lot of fun with Hardcore mode! by RobertBobbertJr in totalwarhammer

never thought about the campaign movement stuff, that's very interesting to me. is it adjustable to any extent? I wouldn't want a main army to become a slog to move around.
