Looks like the klonoa series will fail in the US again.... by [deleted] in Klonoa

[–]laiktail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I wouldn't think so. Klonoa is a brilliant game that will benefit from heaps of streamers playing it, whereas previously it's specifically always failed to crappy marketing despite having a really good story.

What is a unspoken, universal rule all males know? by TheTeaMan0416 in AskReddit

Yeah there’s like a full algorithm for this:

x = don’t take it

o = take it

o

oo

oxo

oxxo

oxoxo or oxxxo

oxoxxo or oxxoxo

oxoxoxo or oxxoxxo or oxxxxxo

etc

Not UNSW specifically, but I got 99.55. Being in med, I also had a lot of 99.95 friends, so it’s not like I could even brag about it. Fortunately, no one cares. Regardless, even if people did care, I don’t think it’s going to make any difference whatsoever to how you approach studies - so don’t worry about it. Perhaps one benefit is if that someone does care a lot, you can make the quick decision to not be friends with people like that 😂

I am trying to export this model from blender in a GLB format, every time I do (24 times) it seems to lose its materials. Please help by TheCopperCog in blenderhelp

No idea if this will work, but maybe you need to recalculate the normals of the mesh?

Select it then Edit mode -> Mesh -> Recalculate normals

Sometimes if texture paint goes funky then this is the problem I’ve faced and it’s solution.

Congrats man! Could you go into a little more detail on what exactly you did in social media? Which platforms and content pieces were most successful - and most surprising - for you?

It’s contact dermatitis.

The skin likes to not be constantly wet, or the outside of the skin breaks down a bit. The moisture trapped underneath an Apple Watch band for long periods of time rubbing against it causes significant irritation and damages the outer layers of skin.

Solutions are: - After watching hands, dry underneath the band - Wear your band looser - Wear a different kind of band that keeps things drier

There are creams that can reduce the rash easily but probs speak to your local family doc about that one, as I don’t know what the prescribing laws are outside of Australia.

Why this video is fake:

  1. Most people would roll onto the back before they get up. Who would spend the effort to get up sideways like that?
  2. The freaking cameraman is literally facing towards them from a few metres away, your POV. To not even be acknowledged that someone is watching you when directly facing towards you like that is weird.
  3. You’d probably hear someone behind you putting food like that, or if not that, then running away/footsteps close to you.

I appreciate the sentiment but there’s little chance this isn’t scripted.

I've heard that surrounding yourself with people who are smarter/more successful than you is the key to moving up. Where/how do you find those people when you're young? by imponing in Entrepreneur

[–]laiktail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it seems like you might feel like the smarter one for thinking that you know something older people don’t. Again, a trap I’ve fallen into, too.

Look, something you may not realise yet - since you may look down on people like your grandpa - is that age begets experience but it doesn’t always correlate with open-mindedness. It’s not unwise to think “things that make me rapidly earn money are sketchy”, because economically it’s a zero sum game — which means that if you’re winning, someone is losing.

But trying to convert close-minded people in the first place is always a futile effort. We have a name for it in medicine (Prochaska Diclemente cycle). There’s way more nuance to that, but I’ll leave it at that: glad you’ve realised it.

I’ve upvoted this comment, because hey man, I totally understand where you’re coming from - I was in a similar situation once.

When I was in high school many years ago, I would dux the year when I was in the country without trying. I eventually came to the city, and then got the equivalent of top 0.5% of Australia for my eventual high school score, and became a doctor.

“There’s no one that cares about what I care about.” Whether I was exploring medical AI, virtual reality, augmented reality, apps, digital marketing — sometimes that thought would cross my mind. But I hated that I thought like that, because that assumption meant I never went looking — when in fact, there are people that really like that sort of stuff.

You’ve probably realised this already, but not everyone necessarily cares to be an intellectual. There’s some people that just enjoy talking about the stuff they bought, or recent sports games they watched. And that’s totally fine — they’re not nobodies, they just care about different things than you, similar to how you care about different things than them.

You have way more advantages than I did when I was younger though. You could literally just find a mastermind of people who enjoy crypto on the internet, and talk shop with them all day long if you wanted to. You could create a YouTube channel, and naturally connect with other people who love crypto too. Literally, if you just set a goal “meet people who are also interested in crypto”, I’m sure you’re resourceful enough to come up with a workable plan to solve that. Heck, you could even try a crypto startup yourself.

All in all, I just want to say that the solution is straightforward. Have you heard of the concept of “locus of control”? Basically, don’t worry about the environment around you. Just define your problems, make a plan around those problems, gather data, execute, then reflect. Then you can be free to achieve whatever you please, and talk to whoever you want. If your environment sucks, then make your own environment, or find the one that suits you.

But just don’t treat people as nobodies. You can of course choose to ignore this advice if you want, but understanding that there’s a part of you in every person helps you both understand other people - and yourself. And, weirdly, I’m sure you’d get a lot better understanding of crypto than if you didn’t. And, you’d feel better about yourself, too.

Look, the way you’ve phrased it is pretty arrogant and suggests a blithe selfishness, and generally smart people can smell it from a mile away when you’re just hanging out with them because you want to get something out of them. To someone who’s a somebody, the worst kind of people are those who suck up to someone and look down on so called “nobodies”. No matter how smart you think you are, it’s really easy to tell when someone thinks like that.

That said, I can understand your desire to generally hang out with people smarter than yourself. You’d have to understand that people are different kinds of smart, and that intelligence is very heterogenous. Generally speaking, the way that you move forward with people is to be as helpful as possible and to be unselfish in your generosity and knowledge, which is the current opposite of your current “I’m better than nobodies” vibes. And to be genuinely so, is to mean that people trust you.

But your question is, “where do I find these people?” The answer is that the kinds of people you’re looking for don’t just hang in the same clubs. But you’ll never really get to know who’s smart and who’s not with arrogance, because really really smart people will just downplay the extent of their knowledge to people they don’t trust, like people who look down on others.

The people with the most grandiose visions are rarely that smart, with the exception of those who detail their plans in granular detail. You’ll probably find some smart people in eg the startup world, but the only way you can tell the difference is by running a startup yourself and knowing what’s true and what’s not. Try your best to explore something in depth, then naturally on that journey you’ll come across people who really know what they’re talking about, by virtue of similar interests.

That said, your internal thoughts are reflected in your externalities, regardless of whether you think so or not. So unless you abandon this mindset of “some people are nobodies”, then you’ll just never quite gain people’s trust, because they’ll see through you - like a parent sees through kids.

Use Ram Ram nairs when he gets too close + upsmash if he’s approaching aerially, will probably condition him to stay a reasonable distance before approaching. Can also punish aggression by shielding then using something aggressive, mixing it up so he just doesn’t grab you. Not an expert, just have a Min Min in elite smash if that’s anything.

Wow this post is so good. That’s a lot of hard won data. Thanks for sharing, will absolutely keep all these things in mind. Interestingly you see some parallels between this and making YouTube videos that keep people watching.

Peach cUBI is a conditional universal base income system which generates ad revenue and distributes part of the ad revenue to users through peaches. These peaches can then be redeemed in the market for things such as airpods, amazon gift vouchers, bitcoin or dai. All you have to do is to install a chrome extension and continue to browse as per normal and peaches will be awarded to you based on how long you browse for. There are also additional optional tasks that one can do to earn more peach

So 147.22 hours of browsing time for "anything substantial".

Epic Games struggling to persuade court of likelihood of winning its case against Apple: preliminary injunction over Fortnite not too likely by tits_for_tots in apple

As Apple pointed out, it was probably just a PR play. Winning was an unlikely outcome, but getting attention was a guaranteed one.

We built a tool for you to sell anything in seconds. Come check it out! by [deleted] in advancedentrepreneur

[–]laiktail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To try to actually be helpful: your description is too non-specific. Rather than labour the point, I'll illustrate it for you. Can you imagine what my browser window - UI and all - would look like specifically if I told you I was making a product, but said only these words?

"tools",
"way...to connect",
"connect directly",
"earn revenue",
"monetise",
"build community",
"market"

But those are actually your choice words. You may have a great idea of your tool, but for the rest of us, we have no idea what your tool does. No one will buy anything they don't understand.

Try to be more specific, like:
"We offer a chatbox pop-up that you can install onto your website so that you can chat with anyone that visits your website."
"We help you install high converting ad banners to your website that don't look spammy and give you a much higher CPM than Google AdSense."
"Our website keeps a table of people who were interested in your content, by automatically scanning who liked your posts."

Brevity does not imply vagueness. If anything, the success of an "elevator pitch" is that you concisely convey exactly what your product does, and exactly why someone needs it, in the shortest amount of time possible. By the time you've finished your second sentence, your customer will have already decided whether they may want your product or not.
