  • Wouldn’t that then be the convention organizers paying for marketing? They have people that they want at the convention who don’t necessarily even want to go to the convention in the first place, even to market themselves.

    Is the talent marketing their talent or is the convention paying them in order to create interest in the event?

    In any case, having talent pay to register for an event isn’t something new.


  • What about it? Conventions already do this.

    Want to advertise at the convention? Gotta pay.

    Want to have a booth for your content at the convention? Gotta pay.

    Want to just go to the convention to see the advertisements and booths that companies paid to market to you? Believe it or not, gotta pay.

    Steam does the same shit, pay to list your games, pay to run promotions, and players pay for the game.

    IMO, YouTube is lagging behind on this one.



  • Eli the computer guy […] had this show up in his dashboard: “grow your Channel’s popularity and engagement by promoting your video on YouTube, running a promotion helps attract new viewers who can boost your subscriptions, views, likes, and other engagement” and the way this works is your videos will show up if you pay them. YouTube is trying to get people who make content on YouTube to pay for views now.

    Isn’t this kind of basic in terms of content marketing?

    One entity makes content then pays another company to promote it?

    What else would Luis being doing if he actually had to pay for the storage space YouTube gives him for free? Handing out CDs on the street?

    Is he aware that companies like Pinterest already do this?

    I can’t say that the sudden huge drop in viewership isn’t suspicious though.


  • get rid of these:

    in the JS, this is what tries to redirect you:
    
    location[_0x15ea[0]] != _0x15ea[1] && (location[_0x15ea[2]] = _0x15ea[1] + window[_0x15ea[4]][_0x15ea[2]][_0x15ea[5]](window[_0x15ea[4]][_0x15ea[0]][_0x15ea[3]]));
    
    in the HTML:
    
    <link rel="canonical" href="https://scorecount.com/tennis/" />
    
    <meta property="og:url" content="https://scorecount.com/tennis/" />
    
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-199625911-1"></script>
    <script>
      window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
      function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
      gtag('js', new Date());
    
      gtag('config', 'UA-199625911-1');
    </script>
    <div class="adwrap"></div>
    

    change these to these:

    in the HTML:
    
    https://scorecount.com/tennis/onilne-tennis-scoreboard.jpg
    onilne-tennis-scoreboard.jpg
    
    https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js
    jquery.min.js
    
    https://scorecount.com/files/scoreboard300.png
    scoreboard300.png
    

    put all these files in the root folder:

    onilne-tennis-scoreboard.jpg
    jquery.min.js
    scoreboard300.png
    

    Still doesn’t seem to want to update when an action is performed though.

    There is also a “bg.png” but I don’t think that’s causing issues.

    Pretty much everything works except for the score tracking lmfao


  • Since getting married, I’ve been popping in and out of multiplayer games more often as well as more closely curating what single-player games I purchase.

    I enjoy longer narrative-driven, single-player games; they’re like a good book and I aim to be just as bummed out when the game ends as I would be at the end of a work from my favorite novelist.

    But I cook, I clean, I do the shopping, and so I end up with a lot of short periods of free time throughout the day. The newest (but not franchised) multiplayer game is usually what I’ll play if I can come and go at my leisure without provoking the ire of other players.

    I’ve never really wanted to 100% a game, pretty sure that was just FOMO, but every now and again I will want to replay an old game.


  • I was thinking about getting one but then I saw Retroid’s line of products. They run Android instead of using FPGAs so you can play regular Android games (including modern re-releases as well as Steam’s Remote Play) but they dual-boot a stripped-down version of Android for running emulators with better performance.

    Was hella fun playing MediEvil on the flight from the US to India and that was with the Retroid Pocket 2, they have a much larger model out now.


  • So, we’ve all had a… time on Reddit lately. And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been tested, and begin the “now what?” conversation.

    “I am allowed to hint towards the idea that we may have fucked up but I am not allowed to say how we may have fucked up if we did indeed fuck up which may not be the case. Could you, once again, reiterate what you think we fucked up and how we can fix the alleged fuck up? We haven’t decided to do anything, aren’t claiming fault, and are refusing to bring forth solutions to proposed issues.”

    “Now that we have that out of the way, let’s chat!”




  • This sounds really fuckin cool.

    Probably wouldn’t be able to replicate your beliefs/morals/mannerisms consistently enough for you to not question what it says and/or actually predict your complete internal through processes.

    That being said, if you were to train the AI to be a kind of automated therapist as well as train it to speak like you, it could be useful for getting some thoughts unstuck if you’re in a rut, not sure if that’s something that is possible yet or not.

    A real therapist might be better though.

    1. Are you absolutely sure that your RAM is installed according to the motherboard’s instructions?

    2. Have you tried swapping the two RAM modules between the slots that they are in?

    3. Have you tried using both RAM modules independently from each other?

    Edit:

    1. Do both of the modules have the same speciations? Unlikely that this will cause issues (I think, I haven’t tried it but, y’know, in theory) but it may.

  • I feel like competitive gameplay could be fun for everyone but the space would have to be well-moderated but not sanitized which, IMO, is hard to do with an online platform.

    We used to have hella fun playing Mario Kart on N64 with the neighbors when we were kids but it isn’t like problems didn’t occur, they just got resolved quicker and we learned that it’s best to be(e) nice if we want to have fun.

    In an online game, you’re probably talking shit for weeks before you get forcibly removed from the game for any length of time.

    Edit: to add onto this, it isn’t like you’re seeing most of the people you play with the next day at work or school so there really isn’t much incentive to involve yourself in the game’s community.


  • I feel like we all just need to chill out when playing video games, it isn’t like anything we’re doing is important, has an impact on the world around us, or is meaningful in any way.

    If I, an adult, went into a laser tag arena filled with a bunch of kids that are screwing around, not really playing the game, then I get angered about this, I’m the asshole and I’m the one getting kicked out of there is a problem.

    I could say to these kids “we should focus and play the game” but they’re already playing the game, it would just be me that doesn’t like the way that they play.

    Then, the only things that me being annoyed have achieved are: I’m no longer playing the game and enjoying the time I spend, I’m making the environment hostile and toxic, and I’m probably not having a good time for the rest of the day.

    Easier and less stressful to not pay attention to what others are doing if it genuinely has no real impact on your life.
