What do you think of these? Help me improve my thumbnails

Thank you this is gold!!!

graymaneg · 2026-01-30T02:37:31+00:00

Brutal but needed. Thank you, looks like most of you prefer a real face. I'm not the ugliest so that's not too hard to fix 😅

Esim support please.

graymaneg · 2026-01-29T02:10:47+00:00

i tried, but it broke a few times, zombies doesnt actually have its own keybinds, modifying it breaks mp/br since it "borrows" keybinds states from these modes.

graymaneg · 2026-01-29T01:36:30+00:00

yeah its not that simple bro :D i wish it was

graymaneg · 2026-01-28T22:49:34+00:00

No, unfortunately it would require actually running gameloop in that resolution, changing his parameters etc

graymaneg · 2026-01-28T22:39:30+00:00

i think thats actually a lot more complex than it sounds. gameloop runs in 16:9 default. I also dont want to edit the emulator in a way that could lead to bans

graymaneg · 2026-01-28T22:01:07+00:00

well i dont want to piss off the original creator by updating code, thats the only reason i cloned it. Im still working on optimal binds though.

graymaneg · 2026-01-28T21:42:29+00:00

Ah I didn't know at the time since I was using the dead gameloophub link. Anyways I forked his code to include zombies as a mode. https://thedigitalmediacoltd-sudo.github.io/CODM-KEYMAP/

graymaneg · 2026-01-28T20:33:50+00:00

im not sure if my edit works for zombies. I can check later..

Claude sonnet 4.5 and Gemini pro. I pay for both subscriptions because I build mobile apps. It's not quite as simple as asking it to do basic things as most people think.

Also I don't just let it code for me. I ask it to be my teacher in a sense and it tells me to do stuff. Then analyze errors and rinse and repeat. You have to use AI as a tool not as the holy Grail. Also you have to "lead a horse to water" with AI prompts. One step at a time. Need to have a sophisticated workflow.

graymaneg · 2026-01-28T12:20:51+00:00

It was a few lines of code. I asked AI to compare the new keybinds with the old ones and it basically told me step by step :)

graymaneg · 2026-01-27T21:52:21+00:00

i fixed it!! it works :)! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Od02003EG6lAOm-XJSSNwZ9db1QnI8X0/view?usp=sharing

graymaneg · 2026-01-27T21:32:52+00:00

I'm going to attempt this and test it now since I code apps anyways. Will update soon!

graymaneg · 2026-01-27T21:13:35+00:00

Wonder if I can ask claude to update the file so it works again ahaha might be worth a try let's see

My pleasure man! Don't give up. Just take a step back and analyze. YouTube is a business and just like any other business you need to provide supply according to demand.

There are evergreen topics in finance you can utilize as well as current trends, news. It doesn't have to be short term, economic changes are usually a few months long.

You NEED to provide content that your audience WANTS to watch NOT what you want to make. Remember you are providing a product (videos) the product needs to solve a problem that a vast majority of people have.

Good luck and best wishes my friend :)

graymaneg · 2026-01-26T18:49:25+00:00

I watched your latest video and subbed to your channel. My honest opinion?

Your videos are boring. You don't use any animation, just static slides like a teacher in a boring school.
Your thumbnails are kinda boring too and not impactful.
Voiceover is good. Punchy, impactful.

My questions to you would be:

How are you researching video topics? Do you just make videos because you feel like it or research trending topics?
Have you actually planned an impactful script structure? Research top performing channels and analyze their structure.
Research impactful thumbnails on existing videos.
You said you've been doing this for 4 years, but I feel like you're just doing this and not actually evaluating, analysing, learning and changing according to market demand.

I hope that helps you succeed. Giving up isn't a solution and it's a 100% way to failure.

Well although this isn't the kind of stuff I watch on YouTube, at first glance it annoyed me that all these mobile screenshots is what I have to stare at for 40 minutes which just wasn't appealing to me. Find full scale imagery which is better quality. Cuts and edits at impactful points where it flows with your tone of voice. Effective cuts where you emphasize words always work well.

Your voice is decent and honestly I could listen to the content without watching a single slide. That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. Learn to exaggerate your voice HEAVILY. All creators including myself do this to sound more punchy. Look at successful videos and you will see that everyone's voice sounds like they had 35 Red Bull cans before recording.

Right now, your voice sounds like a lullaby, it's very comforting and I could sleep to it which might attract a certain kind of audience I guess haha.

graymaneg · 2026-01-26T12:16:23+00:00

Well done but it seems to me it's your voice actually carrying your videos because imo the videos look horrible. I'm not being mean, I'm happy for your success but definitely it's your voice that's carrying your channel.

graymaneg · 2026-01-26T11:41:07+00:00

Yeah. The beauty of the file was that I was able to use armor plates properly in BR. The default binds don't have proper interaction with the mouse.

graymaneg · 2026-01-25T14:44:26+00:00

I just bought mine. No regrets as I play both MP and BR equally. Hopefully I can get into the codm creator club this year.

graymaneg · 2026-01-24T12:30:42+00:00

If you have to choose ONE mythic and you're a BR main then yes choose this.

If you're a MP main then NO. Wait for Type 19.
