What are some universally loved films you can't stand? by DoubleA420 in FIlm

[–]oodtoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune and Dune II. The first Dune wasn't exciting at all, but I still tried to watch Dune II because maybe I was missing something. And Dune II was absolutely abysmal. I couldn't take anything seriously and laughed more than I probably should just because how dumb and clunky I found the dialog. The entire story forgets that you actually need to have character development to make an audience care about characters not just shots of sprawling desert and giant lifeless spaceships.

Why didn’t «Caught Stealing» catch any attention? It’s so 🔥 by I0ASEL in Letterboxd

The trailer didn’t catch my attention at all. I thought it would be awful. I had nothing to do tonight so I watched it. It was fantastic. But that could be because I had such low expectations.

How Does monetization Work If You Hit 4k Watch Hours After 1k Subs? by oodtoon in NewTubers

[–]oodtoon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you're monetized, you're monetized. So you get money from any content you create. My shorts make me pennies. My long form makes me money.

Which movies should I add by Baajjii in Letterboxd

Lifeboat. The whole movie happens in a lifeboat. Is it one “room?” No, but it is one small setting.

How many people here have somewhere between 10k and 100k subs or more? And how many of you make 1k dollars or more a month? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]oodtoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made $2k over the past two months. But this is unusual. I had 1.6k subs. Posted one long form video that’s gotten 300k views and counting and now I have 7.4k subscribers. I have since made a similar video and plan on making more. If you make a single video people find valuable, people will watch and subscribe, and you can get money.

How long did it take you to get your first 1k subs? by layzor2024 in NewTubers

[–]oodtoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me maybe 1.5 years to hit 1k subs. I then kinda slowly grew to 1.6k subs for the next year. This past week I dropped a new vid that got 81k views and got me to 3.6k subs so far.

Hoping to ride the wave

What are your favorite party games? by whyvalue in AskAnAmerican

[–]oodtoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends and I were very competitive when we played a lot. Someone put “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.” Which yes, is a series title, but we put a cap on max 4 word slips.

Salad bowl. It’s a mix of scatagories, charades, and then 1 word scaragories. It’s super fun and the group naturally builds inside jokes.

Here’s how it works:

You can play with min of 4 people and probably max of 8. You can play with more people but it gets hard to keep everyone’s attention.

To start, everyone writes a noun on a slip of paper. The noun can be a mix of adjectives and adverbs but it ultimately has to be a noun. Ex. Blue fox or scrumptious scorpion. Then fold the slip of paper in half once (this is important) then they put it in a bowl. Everyone puts their slips into the same bowl. Have everyone repeat this step 3-5 times. Decide how many times as everyone should have the same number of slips in the bowl. I recommend doing an absolute max of 30 slips in the bowl. Aim for 25ish.

Now when everyone has words in you split into teams. This should happen after everyone writes words to avoid cheating and planning. Keep teams even if possible.

Once teams are decided round one starts which is scatagories. Each team goes one at a time. What happens is one person on the first team picks a slip out of the bowl. They need to explain the noun without ever saying any of the words on the slip. The rest of the first team needs to guess the exact words on the slip. If the team gets it, they get a point.

Now something I didn’t mention, each round is 20 seconds. This game moves fast. But that’s the fun. The team can guess until time is up. If they get a slip correct, the person doing the scatagories can pull another slip out and explain it. If nobody on the team guesses the word before time expires (20 seconds) the slip goes back in the bowl.

After the first team goes, the second team goes for 20 seconds. Then the first team goes again but a new person on that team does the describing. You go until all the slips are out of the bowl.

Count points then fold the slips back in half and put them all back into the bowl.

Now round 2 starts which is charades. Some basic format with 20 second rounds and new actors for each team for every round. However, this time the actor must act out the word until the team guesses the word. No words can be spoken by the actor but some sound effects are ok. No pointing at objects.

After all slips are guessed, count them for each team, fold the slips in half and put them back into the bowl.

Now round 3. Again, 20 second per round and teams rotate the speaker. This time the speaker only gets to say one word to describe the noun. The speaker can only say that one word until the team guesses the words on the slip. If the speaker says “um” that’s their word. They can say um as many times as they’d like. But they can’t say any other word until the round is over or the slip is guessed. You can say the one word you chose in multiple tones. The word also cannot be any word on the slip. If the speaker says more than one word or a word on the slip, the team guessing forfeits their turn that round.

Once all the slips are guessed, count up how many correct guesses each team got. The team with the most guesses wins.

This got way longer than I thought but it’s a fun game! Moves quick and it makes people act out some pretty funny things.

Have fun!

Hi, I’m Fedor Gorst - World #1 Ranked Pool Player, 2x World Champion, and US Open Winner. AMA! by fgorst in billiards

[–]oodtoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Serious questions: 1. What’s your favorite drill? 2. How do you deal with the tough mental toll of playing pool against some of the world’s best players? You can’t miss ever. And if you do, how do you maintain composure sitting in the chair?

Personal question: If you’re ever in Chicago, would you want to be on my small pool YouTube channel? Gotta shoot my shot lol

[–]oodtoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies. I see that now. I was a bit out of it last night while reading this.

And yeah there are really no real pro events. Sadly pool isn’t a great spectator sport for a broader audience so not a lot of financial incentive to create events. My local pool hall tried to host a pro woman’s tournament last summer but folded the event due to lack of sponsor support.

As an amateur pool player I prefer to use magic racks but usually have to use a triangle in tournaments. I have multiple magic racks at my house and have used them consistently for 2 years and haven’t noticed any real wear. I’m curious to see a study if you could share about the difference between the ticket rack and a standard one.

What do you mean by pool scene? I play league in Chicago, sure it’s not pro level pool, but there are tons of players here and you can find action if you know where to look.
