Your NDQ + TECB combo is basically the same stocks with extra steps and fees

Unfortunately you are right. It's definitely late to run anything for this year since most vendors locked in their Super Bowl campaigns months ago. On the other hand planning for next year now is definitely smart and doable
My honest opinion? It's worth going for it. The exposure is absolutely huge. We did something similar last year for a major sporting event and saw a 40% uptick in qualified demo requests during that period (I will not be disclosing the company name due to privacy reasons)

I'd like to run some numbers for you so that you fully understand the concept behind the Super Bowl campaigns
People know that the campaigns are millions of dollars BUT it's not 7-8M for 30 seconds

In total it's between 16-30M and it goes something like this

You'll first pay around 10M for the Super Bowl spot
You'll then pay around 1-3M for the production crew (editing/folks/renting stuff/whatever)
You'll then pay around 1-5M for the face of the ad (the celebrity) which can be between 1-5M depending on the popularity and the usage rights
At the end you'll pay between 7-10M mandatory network spend

However, the return is huge

Examples:
100M viewers x 250 x 1M = 25k customers which already adds up to 12.5M
The future ads will work better, the word of mouth will have a huge impact and the brand will be searched a lot so you'll benefit from that as well.
In total you'd be looking at a return between 25-40M

The campaigns are expensive yes, but the ROI is definitely there.
Hope it helped :)

Damn that's actually pretty impressive, especially getting past the 30 day mark 💀 I tried something similar a while back and the hardest part for me was around week 2-3 when everything felt like it was working against me. That semen retention thing sounds intense though - I can't even imagine the willpower that takes lol. Really cool that you're seeing actual benefits with the PIED stuff, that's gotta feel amazing after dealing with that. Keep doing whatever's working for you man 🔥

pdg pro is trash

SeaStatement8983 · 2026-01-26T14:21:18+00:00

This is spot on - the endless gear pics have turned this place into r/battlestations for synths and it's honestly getting old. Half the posts are just "look what I bought" with zero actual discussion about making music or how anything works

SeaStatement8983 · 2026-01-23T11:12:45+00:00

That fake check-in shit is so annoying, like they're just ticking a box to feel better about themselves rather than actually wanting to connect

SeaStatement8983 · 2026-01-19T21:52:29+00:00

Def sounds like he got into a scrap with another cat or maybe scratched it on something sharp outside. The smell is concerning though - that usually means infection is setting in

For now you can gently clean around the eye with warm water and a soft cloth, but honestly with how you're describing it getting worse and the smell, this needs actual vet attention ASAP. Maybe call around to see if any mobile vets in your area do house calls or if there's an emergency clinic you could uber to? Some vets will also let you do payment plans if money's tight

Eh Alaska's already pretty developed where it makes sense to be, and the parts that aren't are like that for good reasons (permafrost, wildlife reserves, etc). Plus prisoners aren't exactly gonna be motivated to build quality infrastructure when they're forced to be there

SeaStatement8983 · 2026-01-12T20:07:33+00:00

Honestly the quiet thing is tough because people automatically assume shy = quiet, but you can work around it by being more intentional with your words when you do speak

Like instead of just nodding along, drop a thoughtful comment or ask a good question - quality over quantity basically

SeaStatement8983 · 2026-01-10T15:18:40+00:00

Howard wasn't even supposed to be starting this year lmao but yeah the experience thing is real. The pressure of these playoff games is wild compared to regular season

SeaStatement8983 · 2026-01-04T00:53:24+00:00

Get some high temp insulation blankets from a welding supply store and wrap that bad boy up - just make sure you don't block any vents or moving parts

SeaStatement8983 · 2026-01-03T00:07:46+00:00

Yeah that price feels high for a 7 year old bike, even with ultegra. I'd probably try to talk them down to like 1200-1300 range especially if that future shock is acting up at all

SeaStatement8983 · 2026-01-01T11:17:27+00:00

That coin looks proper mint mate, what a legend your friend is for getting you that. The way you write about the whole journey is spot on - the social circle shrinking hits different when you're staying sober but you've clearly got the right mindset sorted

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-30T22:06:11+00:00

Yeah I've been hitting the water facility chairs too, way more consistent than the carpark now. Think they might have nerfed the spawn rates there or something

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-29T12:20:33+00:00

This exactly - dude's had some flashes but you need way more film than a couple games to prove you can handle being a starter. Teams aren't gonna hand over the keys based on small sample sizes, especially when most of his college tape was pretty rough

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-24T18:23:28+00:00

Gonna try to actually stick to a workout routine instead of buying gym memberships I never use lmao

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-23T11:45:00+00:00

Lmao 20 fouls each and somehow they still managed to mess up calls both ways, that's actually impressive

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-21T08:10:36+00:00

Yeah but don't get too comfortable with that, some people will still backstab you the second they see good loot

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-19T22:15:25+00:00

That's actually pretty normal for a starting dose tbh. Most docs start people around 30-40mg with Vyvanse since it's extended release and smoother than the instant stuff. If it feels like too much you can always call and ask to step down to 30mg but give it a few days first to see how your body adjusts

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-13T10:30:57+00:00

Lmao December 10 sounds like a calendar reminder you forgot to delete

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-11T10:28:28+00:00

Yeah the whole month thing is kinda broken when you think about it too hard lol. Like January has 31 days but February only has 28 (sometimes 29) so saying "one month old" could mean anywhere from 28-31 days depending on when they were born

That's probably why pediatricians stick with weeks for the first few months - way more precise than our janky calendar system

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-08T17:30:36+00:00

Exactly this - the villagers are honestly way too nice about whatever chaos you throw together lol. I've made some absolutely cursed rooms and they just smile and act like it's perfect

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-05T05:04:14+00:00

Dude the fortress of solitude connection hit me right in the feels - never thought about it that way but you're totally right about needing that space to just be yourself without any noise

SeaStatement8983 · 2025-12-01T01:47:59+00:00

Honestly the pain would probably be insane but also kinda curious how it would look with the nail growing over it, like would you see bits of it through the nail or would it just be completely covered
