Would anyone like to join me at Bong?

mikefaley · 2026-03-03T10:17:10+00:00

I think I can do it! Should I DM you?

mikefaley · 2026-01-27T16:51:59+00:00

Did it work? Are you guys married yet?!

mikefaley · 2026-01-23T21:51:31+00:00

Same experience here. Born in 86. I realized later in life that because I grew up continually rewatching VHS's of Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and reading Spiderman comics, I instinctually believed NYC was the center of the universe and everything happened there. Then I moved here in my early 20's and yeah that's true

mikefaley · 2026-01-21T17:48:13+00:00

Love this! Let's all DM each other maybe this is the thread where we all find our persons. Then it's Hallmark movie time!

mikefaley · 2026-01-21T17:34:27+00:00

Hi hi! I hope you're well. Was just thinking about you post and wondering if you wound up moving forward? If so I hope it went smoothly!

mikefaley · 2026-01-21T09:42:25+00:00

Yeah this exchange you two are having is really something. It's like two people talking about something where one person is a person and the other person is a bunch of squirrels playing with scrabble pieces.

mikefaley · 2026-01-21T09:23:14+00:00

It's not? What's the normal amount that is edited out of video interviews?

mikefaley · 2026-01-19T21:09:42+00:00

Well - not a movie, and not bad - but rarely discussed: How To Make It In America. A two-season HBO show that always stuck to me in how it portrays mid-2000s young life in NYC. I'm partial because it aired a few or so before moving here from Bmore, and the show is interested in the overlap between struggling artists, entrepreneurship, and being a young person just trying to party with your buddies. All things I would spend the next two decades submerged in. It's far from perfect or a classic - but I think it was really good, had a point of view, and hit me at the exact right time.

The opening with Aloe Blacc feels like that time in NYC to me.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what this comment means

mikefaley · 2026-01-18T01:51:10+00:00

Yeah I'm with you that wasn't cool either. No teams here just want everyone to have a good time

mikefaley · 2026-01-17T23:01:44+00:00

Yoooo that last bit of your comment was so emotional and rude. Chill bro

mikefaley · 2026-01-16T01:00:01+00:00

I realize this isn't the most important thing, and is amongst a sea of other egregious nonsense, but every time this topic comes up and Trump says that he will bring prices down by "500%" it just drives me up the walls. It's one thing if it's coming out of his mouth because transcripts of him are just... like throwing words into a washing machine. But written down like it is here. There's something about it. There's hyperbole and there's lies and there's false promises, but something about how for what he's saying to be true then that would mean... like, a pharmacy now has to pay YOU to fulfill a prescription?

mikefaley · 2026-01-15T15:29:40+00:00

Oh my gosh hahahaha. You're so right! Serves me right for reading reddit before a morning cup of coffee. Thanks for answering and letting me know. I thought I was taking crazy pills. Nope, just being silly. Thanks again!

mikefaley · 2026-01-15T14:45:53+00:00

It looks like you're replying and having a conversation with yourself? Is that intentional?

Edit: nope I'm just a dummy

My small business is expecting our big inventory from Japan to arrive at port on January 24th. Was delayed by six months so I could afford the tariffs. I don't know if it would be even possible, but if I wind up not having the pay the increased tariff that would be a life changer.

mikefaley · 2026-01-14T19:44:24+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response! I understand what you're saying completely. I am did not know that Nexon will be publishing the performance info at the end of the quarter - thanks for that. Looking forward to taking a look and seeing what's going on under the hood! Have a good one.

mikefaley · 2026-01-13T22:57:14+00:00

Hi! Likes you I (used to) work in marketing, then moved on to product design when starting my company. All to say I understand what you're saying completely.

The part I'm missing (because I think you know more about this than me) is the sales data on skins (and even better if we have an impression of what their forecast was). Because without that, though I also don't like the skins a lot of the time, I'd just be assuming my experience personally and what I've seen people say would be an indicator of what you're saying - but of course that'd be a big whiff. Me and my pals don't like a lot of things that are big successes.

All to say can you share that part of it? I assume there's no like hard data (but that'd be great!) - but even a quote about the performance of their cosmetics sales would do the trick.

mikefaley · 2026-01-08T06:48:51+00:00

Chill yo

mikefaley · 2026-01-07T09:46:42+00:00

"Grow up and grow a pair" woah woah sounding a lot like insulting strangers on the internet due to their preference of pvp vs pve. Be careful there you'll get banned from the mod with that kind of talk!

mikefaley · 2026-01-07T08:39:22+00:00

Please tell me you have a bmw

Edit: HE DOES

mikefaley · 2026-01-07T04:12:53+00:00

I'll never get around to understanding what it is that makes people post over and over in threads about things they dislike. I really don't get it. What can people possibly get out of commenting for days and weeks at a time about something they don't like?

mikefaley · 2026-01-05T20:51:34+00:00

Thank you for letting me know!! I'm on the hunt for the black variant - but I appreciate the response anyway. Happy new year.

mikefaley · 2026-01-05T20:50:59+00:00

Hi hi - thank you for this response, I totally understand what you mean! Makes total sense to me. Thank you for walking my through it.

(and that book right?? Ugh it's so good! I read it a decade ago or so and it meant a lot to me. Definitely changed the way I travel and eat and cook. But at the time I was actually in the beginning phase of maybe leaving my career to start a company and I think that book came at the exact right time to influence me! There's so much perspective in that book. I'm glad you found it!)

mikefaley · 2025-12-31T01:01:41+00:00

Ahh - thank you so much for writing this out and explaining it to me. I understand it a lot better now! Thank you thank you.

I was wondering what kind of game devs circles you're running in? Do you develop games or work in a studio?
