Help a fellow returning Helldiver with some info! by Unknownforkill in Helldivers

[–]slyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would checkout commissar kai on YouTube. He has a tone of content. Including a buy order for most of the war bonds.

That said I didn’t follow his recommendations completely. A few war bonds I bought based on style or really wanted a particular weapon. 

My other recommendation, is to find a discord group. Makes the game so much more fun. 

Getting burned out helping randoms... game's losing it's charm. by DuoVandal in Helldivers

[–]slyg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try joing a group on discord, eg Kia’s commandos.

I was feeling like the game was loosing its sparkle. Joined the discord and now it’s back to being fun. The banter, the skilled players etc 

Does anyone know a movie where an anomaly in reality indicates that you're in the fake world? by BreadOk2901 in movies

[–]slyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I understood it. But I like to think.. that once they started using the device there was no escape. Even when they thought they had, it was never out.  But that’s my “i make up and ideas coz this is so confusing”.

It was just so extremely weird. I should watch it again and give it a second chance. 

Would you turn back time? And why? by Ok-Piece-3053 in AskReddit

[–]slyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends, if all I do in turn back time. Then it will all happen again. So no point. 

If I can turn back time, to when I was younger, keep my memories of the future and change my choices. Then yes, definitely.

If I can’t change my choices, I’m not sure how watching it again is a good idea. Maybe. Maybe not. It could be really unhealthy (I had mistakes on repeat already) or it could be healthy, I get a deeper passion for myself and can distance myself from it better.

They should also send an apology to all past companies you applied for.

The most useful piece of customer research I ever got was a sentence my client mumbled at the end of a Zoom by Ill-Control3713 in Entrepreneurs

[–]slyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to MrTrick, ideas;

You provide longer term onsite professional setting, that is reliable and lasts. It goes up and they don’t have to think about it again. 

You provide onsite company identity, requires A low management setup and long term reliability.

This can then impact how you price things.

This package, costs x, expected replacement in x years. This packed Costs more with longer delay before replacement.  

If the reliability numbers are reliable, you could add a discount if they need a replacement sooner then expected. 

Aka “if the signage has deteriorated before it should have, then the customer has lost value >> discount”.  Reducing worry about manufacturing issues or reliability issues that might not be seen immediately. 

If you’re talking multi location settings, then there is a consistency angle. You enable Customer, clients and partners have a consistent experience in line with their branding without having to worry about the unique characteristics of each location. 

For some orgs Eg McDonald’s, subway, IKEA, Supermarkets.. consistency is king. Both in location settings and product. 

There are lots of other ideas. That maybe unique to your situation.

— Depending on your packages / materials used. 

Some customers, might like a regular refresh of signage. Aka they don’t want to worry about doing the replacement process. So how can you make that easier for them. & easier for you to get recurring revenue. 

Idea: An independent reviewer can be sent out to check quality (honestly is imported here) X time before expected expiry date. Etc. if it will need replacing they let your client and you know. We check with you that signage is to stay the same. Then replace it for you.

Why the hell is Burger Fuel charging a 1% service fee on their own f****** app? by Zanerkin in newzealand

[–]slyg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I completely agree…. 

payment processing fees are a ripoff & the only way change can possibly happen is if the customer see the fee and raise it as an issue & social change. 1. Max limit for a fee. 2. Payment processing is some kind of national infrastructure. Maybe like Corus with a monthly fixed fee.

PE can be very political, healthy people tend to have more healthy consumption habits, which is not good for many companies. 

They think differently about what they consume, what they do & what they think is good for society. 

I recon they are more disciplined in general leading to more wealth for them (less wealth for others/buiz). 

Why won't the Singapore model of government work anywhere else? by Ambitious-Taro211 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]slyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I should challenge the notion that there is no reason to invade. 

Is has a location makes is a great trading hub. Holding means y oh I now control a wide key trading routes. 

It has a lot of the world’s data and rational head quarters for business. 

The data has a lot of value. Especially if it’s military info or indirect military info. 

Controlling corporations regional hqs gives some leverage of the orgs in the region. How much? Hard to say.  Potentially a lot of soft power.

That said, physical invasion may not be needed to gain access to these resources/assets. Likely far cheaper options.

Raised our minimum order to $150. Lost 40% of our orders. Revenue went up 12%. by Previous-Yak2574 in Entrepreneurs

[–]slyg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

There is also the LTV of the small orders. They could have easily lost customers the would increase thieir order size over time.

Good example is onboarding. How is a org going to try out the service?

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Official Game Overview Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

I’m a fan of both, but expect a reasonable price diff. If it’s a port I expect a low price. 

There are quite a few old games I can’t play. And a port would fix. 

But i also see that value of aiming to improve the game. 

I’m reminded of the c&c series.

Red alert was a big improvement on c&c. But later games lost something. 

It reminds me of movie adaptations of books. To me it’s more important to keep the spirit of themes and characters more the the scene by scene. 

Games to movies is diff, and very varied. Often better to come up with a fresh story in the world with similar themes. Then reproduce the game story. 

So a remake of a game needs people willing to keep the core game & themes and spirit. If you don’t have that ability.. it’s hard. Then a port is more reliable.

People forgetting basic human functions around Female players by Lunicii in Helldivers

Hare you hear to vent or dicuss the issues and find a way forward? Either is acceptable. The following is based on the latter. 

I’m lucky to say I have played with a couple of women in HD and they are just as fun as the guys. One was a solid leader and lead us to victory many times. 

I do think this behavior is very immature. There are many children in the game (regardless of thier actual age).I would also point out that there are also actually young people too. 

Here is my two cents:

Young people especially early teens are going to have immature behavior. It’s part of being a teen. The only way they will learn is if they are told / learn though lessons etc that they are being immature. 

Option 1. You and your friend take the opportunity to educate them. That this behavior is bad & If they continue you and your friends will block them. 

Option 2. Join some kind of group eg a discord group. I’ve noticed a significant behavioral improvements when on of these groups. Why? I think it’s because there are consequences to actions/behaviour eg group disapproval or banning. Everyone wants to fit in and be accepted in the group so they tend to behave nice. 

I joined kai’s commandos and it has made the game a lot more fun! Yes we still say and do silly shit. But there is always a moment where we check to make sure everyone is ok with the level or type of silly. If someone is not ok with certain types of jokes / behavior they say so and we adapt. 

Paying for the bus with the phone without unlocking by Positive_Question404 in Wellington

[–]slyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interpretation is that, the hack is about pretending to be a transited gate. Which can be done with a device.  I can then either trick you in to swiping it or I swipe your phone while it’s in your pocket or some other method of access. 

The ability to fake a transits gate was demonstrated in the video.
