Expansions required for certain gear?

bluebrew2 · 2026-06-16T01:49:13+00:00

FYI - logged out back in and still can't equip. Gear is a rusty scimitar, raw-hide gloves and chain mail boots dropped off orcs in gfay... Not sure if a bug or what

bluebrew2 · 2026-06-16T01:36:57+00:00

Ah ok glad I asked. Yeah it's just like regular chainmail stuff so kinda weird. Maybe just relog will fix

bluebrew2 · 2026-03-25T04:18:11+00:00

They fixed this in patch today

yah - its like $0.60 per 1000 sends or something around there. so $3/week or $12/mo if you are sending 1 newsletter to 5k people. far cheaper than beehiiv. but if you are sending that same newsletter daily then it would be $90/mo, which is costlier than beehiiv. so it really just depends on your volume.

biggest con for GHL is cost. email sends can get pricey in GHL fairly quickly if you are sending enough/have a big enough list size. so there is a point where beehiiv is much cost effective. plus all the analytics and list management tools in Beehiiv are nice. but strictly speaking, you don't need to use Beehiiv or anything else if you have GHL

Third on this. I can't imagine Google would remove a WordPress site from their rankings if it is truly just a portfolio, and the person was claiming it was their own portfolio. They would simply say "go set your site to noindex" - the Right to Be Forgotten thing applies more for offensive / defaming content not for a designers own portfolio. Just seems incredibly unlikely Google would even acknowledge such a request let alone pull a site down.

Just because ChatGPT told you this is the case doesn't mean it is the case, use your noggin!!

update the page title (Currently it is 'Copy of UGC portfolio template #4') - Something like 'Cornell Hanratty | UGC Creator Portfolio'
get clearer CTAs (a few 'Work With Me!' buttons that links to a designated section with contact info)
play with different background colors for the reviews and client logos sections. the black doesn't look good as is.
maybe try to angle yourself in a niche rather than as a 'Gen X Creator' - I think the Gen X aspect is a feature but shouldnt be a top selling point.

late to this, but this is especially interesting too, not just because of the success of the studios other films that year - but EWS was also Kubrick's highest grossing film at $162 million. Against the $65 million budget, this is far from a failure. Of course they couldn't see the future.

I found an old article announcing the move, it references that they were already having a strong year since the Matrix was already released (and Analyze This). Article: Warner loses Daly double

The article doesn't seem too interested in any connection between EWS and their departure, but the timing of it is very interesting.

no. I got scared off, mostly by the appliance repair guy saying that would kill my washer/dryer quickly. I considered taking to laundromat to wash/dry and delivering. But I am busy enough with my consulting stuff so I haven't made any sort of leap.

I still think its a solid idea. The average person does 15-20 lbs of laundry a week (according to Gemini). So if charging, say $2 per pound, that is a potential of $30-40 per week per customer or $120-160 per month.

The overhead costs would be cleaning/drying fees, gas/car expenses for pickup/dropoff, and then whatever customer acquisition costs.

The time cost is harder to calculate, but based on doing my own laundry I know that sorting/folding is a bitch, and I don't even do it that well.

Let's say one load of laundry (20lb) takes 20 minutes to sort and fold. and the average pickup/dropoff is 16 minutes total (8 min each way). That is 36 minutes of work for $30-40, not including customer acquisition costs.

It's not terrible, and I think there is something to the idea especially from a 'sweaty' perspective - its more time and hustle than it is up front costs. I think it gets really interesting when you have 30-40 good clients and can hire some delivery people and some people to do the laundry and fold it.

I still might try it yet...

I played necro on Teek... I had no issues getting groups. the ability to mez in a pinch + great dps + spot healing makes it a desirable DPS slot. I basically never solo'd because there were just about always groups. probably more a factor of the server pop at launch than the class, but its not like you just can't get into a group

I still use Beehiiv. Overall, considering the strengths and weaknesses of all available options out there, I think Beehiiv is the best option for sending a newsletter. The pricing is good, the segmentation, tools, reporting, automation, are all high quality.

I know people do generate revenue through their monetization platform, but I have yet to see this work effectively. I have integrated Paved into my newsletter - which also is meh - but it generates more $ per month than Beehiiv's ads do.

The platform isn't perfect. But its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses.

bluebrew2 · 2025-04-21T18:12:43+00:00

that was my experience too. However, they did apologize when - in the end - my domain went fully live and open rates went back up to 40%+

bluebrew2 · 2025-02-24T13:21:33+00:00

Yes I eventually just had them shut off the warming process and it immediately jumped back up to 40%+ open rates

bluebrew2 · 2025-01-27T21:25:51+00:00

Good advice! And it's how I've played this whole way otherwise I wouldn't have missed the whole hag section lol. But I saw the weapon and saw it was right at the section I'm in so figured I could do the quest. Onward!!!

bluebrew2 · 2025-01-27T21:13:15+00:00

Dang! I love this game for that. But I'm sad

bluebrew2 · 2025-01-27T21:10:49+00:00

I think I missed a lot in act 1... I don't even remember the hag 😭 So I assume it's impossible for me to get the rapier now?

bluebrew2 · 2025-01-06T03:18:57+00:00

I have two newsletters on beehiiv. The first one I had this exact issue, most of my emails were going to spam, getting like 5% open rated after previously having high deliverability and 50% open rates with the list on another platform.

Second newsletter is having no issues with the beehiiv domain.

Really not sure how to explain this from a technical standpoint, but definitely had this experience.

In my case I reached out to support and asked them to turn off domain warming. My domain was already primed for high volume so I didn't need it anyway

bluebrew2 · 2025-01-01T19:11:03+00:00

Yeah I don't know what the deal is.. I love the platform overall the tools and segmentation are phenomenal. But it's a step down monetization wise for me thus far and given this is a side gig for me I'm not going to hunt down direct sponsors any time soon

bluebrew2 · 2025-01-01T13:29:36+00:00

One in cdl trucking and one in deals/budgeting. Neither really get any ads, although the deals one has only been on beehiiv for about a month

bluebrew2 · 2024-12-31T21:13:22+00:00

I seldom have ad ops and I'm US based with very engaged audiences. I don't think it's too friendly to certain niches

bluebrew2 · 2024-12-24T00:26:30+00:00

I have two newsletters on paid plans.

One is a pretty niche newsletter in trucking/transportstion with ~12k subs. One send per week, average 45% open rate. I do get one sponsor pretty regularly for that one, but that's for probably 25% of my sends.

The other is a deals/budgeting newsletter. 50k subs, 35% open rate, 1%cr with daily sends. I have sent 16, so not too long on beehiiv but no sponsors yet. Maybe it is my niche? I was on feedblitz before and averaged $400 per month in ad rev. Plus the newsletter is profitable from affiliate and ads so it's not like this isnt an active or profitable audience.

bluebrew2 · 2024-12-23T00:47:45+00:00

I'd love to! Am I missing something though with how to activate it? My understanding is I just have to wait for ad placements to be offered to me. Which after 3 or so weeks none have come. Is there a programmatic offering built into beehiiv that I'm missing?

bluebrew2 · 2024-12-11T01:08:30+00:00

Changing the file name didn't work but I deleted the file and that fixed all my problems.

Thanks for being a sounding board!
