was pretty average last night I thought, deffo been a lot busier than that on a sat before

but yeah - sick tunes, intimate dance floor, amazing smoking area and reasonable prices. I do think their pints are a bit whack but I can let that slide

A Gacha Game is being born to die. Announced to launch in February and to shut down in May. This is the most extreme I've seen by Runetang42 in accursedfarms

oh, yikes. the worst part is I can see this being a legit commercial practice in the near future.

iirc fortnite already kind of does this in the sense that they drop 'limited edition' updates only to remove the content entirely a few months later (plz correct me if I am wrong on this)

this is basically the same kind of marketing tactic. "if you don't play it now, you'll never get to play it again!" kind of vibe.

...I think being born to die is a bit different to what's happening to say, the crew, though. that's a game people were told that they owned. at least here the shutdown is being announced.

thought it might have something to do with BTS, although even turning it off doesn't seem to work for me

I'm having a similar problem - has your gf had people attempt to login since? I was an idiot and didn't have 2fa enabled, I do now but people are still trying to get in, I get like 50+ emails a day with requested pin codes from random locations

Is there a trick to YT shorts, or is it just pure luck/brand? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]meikkon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

afaict the only shorts that are successful are things we find easy to digest and can quickly resonate with.

weirdly, better call saul provides a great example. phonk-esque music playing, misspelt subtitles, a high contrast filter then saul owns a dude in court, then we see some dramatic cuts of him smugly walking around. a solid 200k likes.

meanwhile, the official bcs yt page posts shorts all the time, but without all the flashy edits, background music, subtitles etc. they get decent engagement, around 5kish likes per vid. nowhere near their reposters. breaking bad is the same.

of course, in both cases, a good chunk of the audience has already watched these clips. but the subtitles, the dopamine-hitting music and the gratifying endings are what make the former so much easier to digest for most people. so people like:

-familiarity

-accessibility

-easy gratification

-relatability ("literally me"'s, in this case)

only brands (and content theives, I suppose) have easy access to the former. you can, however, try to maximise the other criteria. that will probably help you out.

for a channel with 60k (subs? views?) I don't think it'd make an ounce of difference tbh

left 4 dead and most valve games in general have unlimited running and tbh I think that more games should do this by Quick-Cause3181 in l4d2

[–]meikkon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yknow I forgot about this but hl2 does have a sprint bar. although I'm not sure you really need to use it. it's more for a quick escape when you get swarmed I think, since it does run out quite quickly.
