I said the game demands microtransactions, not that it requires them. That's not just me being pedantic about wording, but rather a big indication of how the developers designed the game to work. Pokemon Sleep doesn't want you to play for free and is designed to make playing-without-paying a worse experience.

Like many free-to-play games out there, they operate on the idea of monetizing convenience and "fear of missing out" (FOMO). Such games will either create a problem in order to sell you a solution, or rely on a rotating/limited availability of enviable items to encourage impulse buying to avoid losing the chance to have the item. Pokemon Sleep does both of these.

Despite Pokemon Sleep being presented as a passive "something in the background while you sleep" kind of novelty, that's not the actual gameplay at all. The game actually wants you to be extremely active and paying a lot of attention to it non-stop, along with encouraging you to get others involved as well. Up to 500 potential invitations with a 50 individual approval list of contacts, specifically, and the system "helpfully" lets you link to your Google, Apple, or Facebook accounts in order to facilitate that and further scoop up lots of personal data for advertising.

The basic gameplay cycle of Pokemon Sleep is that you have a 7-day period in which you can power up your Snorlax as much as possible, with a higher power score equaling a greater variety of visiting Pokemon for you to catch. Visiting Pokemon will appear in a variety of sleeping types, of which there are at least 415 to collect (with individual Pokemon having multiple sleeping types). These Pokemon can also be "befriended" by giving them a sufficient number of items, which means they'll then join your team and help you boost Snorlax's power score over time. You can further boost Snorlax's score by feeding it, which the game encourages you to do three times per day within a given time window. Your Helper Pokemon will supply you with ingredients to make meals for Snorlax at different intervals, and the meals you make have different potencies based on the ingredients used.

So, to summarize, you have a limited period in which to get a number as big as it can be, with various randomized factors able to improve the rate of progression, before it all resets and you're back to square one.

Yes, you absolutely can play this game without spending any money. But the game itself is designed in a way that urges you to spend money at every turn. Every element of gameplay is improved if you spend money, and will actively degrade in effectiveness and quality if you don't. Remember how you can befriend Pokemon to help you out with getting Snorlax's score up? That's faster and easier if you spend money. Those same Helpers who gather ingredients for you? They lose Energy (an arbitrary limit put in place by the game system) the longer they're around, and become worse at gathering ingredients the less Energy they have. But, good for you! You can just buy more Energy for them! Rather, you have to make two purchases - the Energy-restoring item only gives back 50% of their Energy, so you need to buy two in order to max them out again. And you can just buy a box of random ingredients too! How convenient! And if you really want to get the most out of sleeping, you can buy the monthly auto-renewing (until you manually cancel it through Google or Apple, not the game app itself) Premium Membership! Which literally makes your sleep more valuable than the same - or even higher quality - sleep of people who aren't Premium members! But you better buy fast, because all of these items for sale are on a rotating schedule and will swap out of the shop at different 15 or 30-day intervals. You wouldn't want to miss your chance, would you?

A core facet of microtransaction pricing is that it's intentionally and carefully designed to never be enough. You'll always be in a position where you need to buy just a little more than the minimum, and it always comes out at odd numbers that never fit exactly where they need to in order to maximize your purchase, and are priced in unorthodox values specifically to trick the buyer's brain into thinking it's a better deal than it is. With that in mind, it pays to look at the minimum and maximum amounts the game wants to try and charge you since that gives a good idea of their intended range of interaction with your wallet, and how far a given amount of paid microtransactions will take you. Because, remember, such games are built around the idea of NEVER giving you enough. They ALWAYS want you to be in a state of wanting a little more and being tempted to dish over some more cash for it.

In Pokemon Sleep's case? The minimum buy-in for "Diamonds" - their premium microtransaction currency - is 60 Diamonds for $1.19. Their maximum? 7000 Diamonds for $97.99. So what this says outright is that the game is designed in such a way that it expects 7000 Diamonds to NOT BE ENOUGH to maintain a player's best experience. Because, again, such games will NEVER give you a value sufficient enough to deter the need for further purchases. This is a game that wants players to spend $100 multiple times over throughout the lifespan of their interest in the game. Will the majority of players do this? No. There's absolutely going to be a number of whales who will, especially among influencers and content creators on social media who make their own career off these sort of things. But what Pokemon Sleep is relying on is that there will be a far greater abundance of players who think "Oh, it's just a dollar..." or 'Oh, this item is going away... it's not even $5, so why not?" on a very regular basis.

And I haven't even touched on the overt security/privacy issues and the personal info scraping the app has potential for as well. So, yeah, I'm just going to go ahead and sleep on Pokemon Sleep.

Whenever people complain about the long-overdue change from AAA games costing $60 to games costing $70 (which let's be real - they already did in some places back in the 2000's/2010s. Retailers with no nearby competition would sell wii games WAY above market value, all the time. Ask me how I know.) The common refrain is always that spending power is down (true.) and that most of the dev budget and profits aren't even GOING to the developers, the CEOs are just pocketing it (also true.) But it's also hard for me to care about those factors when the expectation for what a game should cost has been thrown out the window.

Sonic Adventure retailed at $60 in the U.S in 1998, which is about $115 in today's money, and it takes 9 hours to clear the whole story. Sonic Frontiers had a larger team, budget, development schedule, and despite the fact it has nearly double the amount of gameplay, it sold at almost half the price of Sonic Adventure. Adjusted for inflation.

When I was in middle school, it was understood that if a game was free, it was most likely made by someone on their free time, and therefore it would probably be short and simple. The mobile apps that were worth your time all cost 99 cents. This was a fee people were willing to pay, because a song on iTunes also cost 99 cents. Games with microtransactions were already taking advantage of gambling addictions, so people were willing to put up with a certain amount of adware on the free app market to avoid them.

Then everything went wrong at once. Free-to-Play video games were popping up all over the place with the amount of content you'd normally expect from the most ambitious AAA titles, and the content updates you'd expect to see from subscription-based MMOs to keep things fresh. Music could be streamed, so nobody wanted to spend 99 cents to own a copy of their favorite song anymore, and suddenly that fee looked too high for apps as well. Then Apple stopped pushing the paid apps, encouraging every developer to make apps that either monetized every corner with ads, or baited players into constant microtransactions so they'd be more than one-time sources of income. And despite being driven primarily by cynical profit motives, the leadership of most American AAA studios wanted to be compared to Hollywood. And so games are being pushed to look more like Movies. Photorealism. Cinematics. Stories that resemble the Movies. Stuff had to be more and more ambitious while costing less and less for the consumer on the frontend, sometimes in ACTUAL dollar amount and sometimes just adjusted for inflation, while also being designed to wring as much money out of every player as humanly possible. It's still going on like this and we all know it isn't fucking sustainable.

But sure. your DLC contains stuff you feel should have been in the base game now. The default price is $10 more - and once they've patched out as many of the issues they were forced to ship with as is realistically possible, you'll get what you paid for out of the experience.

You realize that if you get your reality where we have smaller games with worse graphics made by people paid more to work less, the price of heavily marketed, retail-worthy games will still probably go up, right? Because those likely won't go anywhere, even if they all start to look like what we think of as AA now rather than AAA. For a game to ACTUALLY cost $70 it'd need to maintain mass market appeal so it could sell enough copies to make back budget and probably fund the next dev cycle. Because in this world, game devs wouldn't be beholden to shareholder interests, right?

I'm not saying this to discourage you from that way of thinking in the slightest. I'm just pointing out that, as with SO many things in our lives, your sense of what something costs to produce is incredibly divorced from reality because of just HOW exploited the labor behind it is.

But to be completely honest, if an extra $10 on the base price of SOME PS5 games is enough of a stumbling block for you, I don't know how you'll handle the value for that money decreasing, as well.

How Much Does React Native App Development Cost in California?

With the growing demand for mobile applications, businesses are increasingly opting for cross-platform solutions like React Native to reduce development time and costs. California, being a tech hub, has a vibrant ecosystem of app development companies, but the cost of development can vary significantly based on several factors. In this blog, we’ll explore the cost of React Native app development in California and what influences the pricing.

Factors Influencing React Native App Development Cost

1. Complexity of the App

The complexity of your app plays a crucial role in determining the cost. Apps can be categorized into three levels of complexity:

Simple Apps – Basic apps with minimal features, such as a calculator or to-do list. ($10,000 - $30,000)

Medium Complexity Apps – Apps with additional functionalities like user authentication, API integration, and database management. ($30,000 - $80,000)

Complex Apps – Feature-rich apps with real-time data sync, AI, AR/VR, or blockchain integration. ($80,000 - $200,000+)

2. UI/UX Design

An intuitive and appealing UI/UX is essential for user engagement. Custom designs and animations can increase costs but significantly improve user experience. UI/UX design costs in California typically range from $5,000 to $30,000depending on complexity.

3. Development Team

Hiring a development team in California is costlier than in many other regions due to high labor costs. The pricing varies based on the team’s experience:

Freelancers – $30 - $100 per hour

Small Agencies – $50 - $150 per hour

Established Development Firms – $100 - $250 per hour

4. Backend Development & Third-Party Integrations

If your app requires a strong backend, the cost increases. Cloud-based solutions like AWS, Firebase, or custom-built servers influence pricing. Additionally, integrating third-party services (payment gateways, APIs, analytics tools) can add $5,000 - $50,000 to the development cost.

5. Maintenance & Updates

Post-launch maintenance is essential for app stability. Maintenance costs can range from 15-20% of the total development cost per year to fix bugs, update features, and ensure compatibility with the latest OS versions.

Estimated Cost Breakdown for React Native App Development in California

Basic App Development - $10,000 - $30,000

Medium Complexity App - $30,000 - $80,000

Complex App Development - $80,000 - $200,000+

UI/UX Design$5,000 - $30,000

Backend & Integrations - $5,000 - $50,000

Maintenance (Annual) - 15-20% of dev cost

Ways to Reduce React Native App Development Cost

Prioritize MVP Development – Focus on a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to validate the idea before investing heavily.

Outsource Development – Hiring offshore or nearshore teams can reduce costs while maintaining quality.

Utilize Pre-built Solutions – Use pre-existing UI components and third-party integrations to speed up development.

Choose a Cost-effective Development Partner – Partnering with an experienced yet cost-effective development firm ensures quality without overspending.

Final Thoughts

React Native app development costs in California can vary widely based on complexity, team expertise, and required features. While it’s a cost-effective alternative to native development, strategic planning is essential to optimize the budget. If you’re considering building a React Native app, consult a reputable development firm to get a tailored cost estimate based on your specific needs.

Chart Chaser: A Trader’s Obsession with Technical Analysis on MintCFD

In the realm of online trading, a “Chart Chaser” is a trader who relies heavily on technical analysis. These traders obsessively study charts, patterns, and indicators to identify the optimal entry and exit points for their trades. While some traders focus on market news or economic fundamentals, Chart Chasers believe that the key insights lie within the patterns and trends shown in the data itself. For users on MintCFD, adopting the Chart Chaser approach can be rewarding, especially given the wide range of tools and various trading chart patterns available on the platform.

The Allure of Following Trends in Charts

Chart Chasers are drawn to technical analysis because it offers a visual and data-driven way to understand market behavior. By studying price movements, volume, and indicators, they look for recurring patterns, such as Double Bottoms, Head and Shoulders, and Moving Averages, which they believe can predict future price action. With the MintCFD trading app, traders have access to advanced charting tools that make it easy to become a Chart Chaser, allowing for in-depth analysis and strategy development.

Key Tools on the MintCFD Platform for Chart Chasers

MintCFD’s platform is rich with tools tailored for those who take a technical approach. Here are some essentials for the dedicated Chart Chaser:

Real-Time Charting Tools: MintCFD offers detailed, real-time charts that provide instant insights into price movements. For a Chart Chaser, these charts are invaluable as they capture every shift and trend in the market, allowing them to act quickly based on the latest data.

Diverse Chart Patterns: From Candlestick charts to Line charts, MintCFD provides several options, enabling traders to switch between patterns based on their trading style. For instance, Candlestick patterns are often favored by Chart Chasers because they reveal price action in detail, helping traders identify trends and reversals.

Technical Indicators: Popular indicators, such as the RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and Bollinger Bands, are available on MintCFD to help Chart Chasers confirm their hypotheses. These indicators can signal overbought or oversold conditions, momentum changes, and potential trend reversals.

Custom Alerts: MintCFD’s alert system lets Chart Chasers set notifications based on specific price movements, helping them act on technical signals even if they’re not actively monitoring their screens. This way, they never miss a crucial trade opportunity based on their analysis.

Benefits and Pitfalls of Being a Chart Chaser

For those who love data, becoming a Chart Chaser offers unique advantages, but it also comes with some potential pitfalls. Here’s how to manage both on the MintCFD Platform:

Benefits: Technical analysis is highly data-driven, meaning decisions are based on objective data rather than emotional responses. By relying on chart patterns and indicators, Chart Chasers can create highly structured strategies with specific entry and exit points. With MintCFD’s intuitive tools, they can continuously refine their methods and explore different indicators.

Pitfalls: Focusing solely on technical analysis can lead to “analysis paralysis,” where a trader over-analyzes and hesitates to act. Additionally, ignoring market news and economic factors may leave a Chart Chaser blind to important influences. MintCFD offers market news and insights alongside technical tools, helping Chart Chasers balance their analysis with a broader context.

Master the Market on MintCFD Trading App: Stop Over-Analyzing and Start Thriving as a Chart Chaser

To succeed as a Chart Chaser without getting caught in a loop of over-analysis, it’s essential to have a plan and set clear criteria for entering and exiting trades. MintCFD’s watchlists and alert systems can help keep track of multiple assets without overwhelming yourself with constant analysis. Having a set of “go-to” indicators and patterns also helps prevent information overload.

Final Thoughts

For traders who thrive on technical data, becoming a Chart Chaser can be an exciting and rewarding journey. MintCFD is an ideal platform for these traders, with its robust charting tools, real-time indicators, and customizable alerts. While it’s easy to get caught up in the details, the best Chart Chasers know when to step back and trust their analysis. By balancing data with a disciplined approach, MintCFD users can make the most of their technical strategies and succeed in the dynamic world of trading.

hello! I found you through one of your art tutorials and absolutely loved it, it's really inspired me to try it. I was just wondering, not being familiar with digital art, what set up/ app/ tools do you use (or recommend)? do I need a fancy tablet? thank you :)

I'm so glad to hear it! I hope wherever your drawing journey takes you, that you will keep having fun along the way :)

I am always glad to show my setup!

Let's start with the hardware!

Nowadays, I use a Wacom Cintiq 16, which I purchased this year for around $800 CAD.

This device very much on the fancy side but as someone who has done digital art for 20+ years, it has helped me complete my works in a much shorter amount of time. The Cintiq surface allows me to draw directly on the screen.

Before that, I used a tablet - the Wacom Intuos v4 S, which I received as a gift from my Dad. It held up for 10+ years and was still working excellently when I gave it away for my Mom to use. :) In 2009 I believe it was priced around $250 CAD.

The surface was a lot more matte when I purchased it and has since gotten shinier from all the abrasion and usage and skin contact. I remember it had a protective transparent sheet which I tore off on the first day of use. LOL

My desktop PC is i7 processor @ 3.20 GHz with Windows 10 64bit, 16gb, with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 video card. Monitor is 24". Notably I use my PC for other activities such as gaming.

Now let's talk about drawing programs!

My software of choice is PaintToolSai v2! It is very lightweight and has a smaller toolset compared to Photoshop or Clip Studio.

I favor it because I feel that it has a better response to pen input, which helps create higher quality lines. It is very stable and performs very well - I don't think I've ever had any crashes while using v2, which is still in development. The smaller price point helps. The current price is 5500JPY, which should be around $50 CAD these days? The price was lower when I purchased it years and years back, and I was able to upgrade to v2 without any additional cost.

As for what I recommend for a beginner? I admit, it's a little hard for me to say - the landscape of digital painting has changed so much over the past ten years that so many new tools and software have come out while I was still using Sai and my Intuos!

But if you start shopping around, there are some things that may factor into your decision. Please note that I will be speaking as someone who uses mainly desktop systems and tablets for digital art.

Price: The price of a good-quality drawing tablet can range from the $100s to the $1000s. If you are a beginner, you may not experience the benefits of a professional-standard tablet right away, so it's ok to start small! For software, there are quite a few free options to get you started, such as Medibang or Krita. If you have an iPad, Procreate is available on the store for $9.99, though you may need to invest in a stylus.

System Specs: If you have a laptop or a PC, be sure to double check your specs to make sure it can support the hardware and software of your choice! The requirements are less stringent than gaming, so at least i3 with 8gb RAM will work! You will also need to make sure you have enough storage space to hold large files. I've read that the sweet spot for storage is 128GB. If you are a beginner, you probably won't hit the limit in a short amount of time - just be aware that file sizes for digital art can reach 100s of MB depending on size and complexity.

Pressure Sensitivity: This is a measure of how sensitive your tablet is to pressure changes so that you can vary between solid/translucent and thin/thick lines as you are drawing. The recommendation for newcomers is 1,024 levels. Any less, and the experience may be lacking and the results less than satisfying.

Display Size: Tablet size can vary! Wacom Tablets in particular come in Small, Medium and Large. Make sure it can fit on your working space! I've had no problems creating art work using the smallest size, though it has caused a bit of wrist strain.

A monitor/display screen of at least HD quality with a resolution of at least 300dp is recommended! Screen size will also affect your experience. So, similar with gaming, consider what might be most comfortable for you!

Learning Curve: If you are drawing on a screenless tablet for the first time, then it may take some time to get used to the feeling of drawing the tablet surface while keeping your eyes on the monitor. Don't be discouraged if you're not getting the same results as you would using pen and paper! It will definitely feel different, but with time and practice you will gradually get accustomed to it.

Each software comes with its own toolset - some larger than others! For complex programs like Clip Studio and Photoshop, the number of features and the level of customization available can be overwhelming! That said, most software programs for digital art come with a standard set of basic tools, such as Brush, Select, Straight Line, Erase, Zoom, Copy + Paste, Undo etc. So it is perfectly feasible to get started using a complex program, familiarize yourself with the basics, and try some of the more advanced features once you get confident.

(Meanwhile, I am terrified of Clip Studio's seemingly endless features whenever I open it and usually find myself running back to Sai for safety lolol)

Public Opinion: Take caution when watching Youtube reviews, as artists (especially popular ones) are known to accept company sponsorships. Ask around if you can, take a look at the best, worst, and average customer reviews, and check out a public discussion like Reddit where opinions may differ! Take note of the good and bad experiences. And, where invited, ask artists like or not-like me. :)

I should note this far that I'm not sponsored by anyone or anything. ;;;; I swear on my Mom I'm not a Wacom plant. (That said I will gladly continue to sing my praises of PaintToolSai for free. It is an excellent program and please consider supporting the smaller devs!)

That's it! ...I think? I'm almost certain that there are at least one or two things that I've neglected to mention, but so far, those are the points I can think of, so I hope you find it useful. :)

Each digital art journey is different, and so your mileage may vary with the factors above! I do hope that as you get started with creating stuff digitally, that you have a fun and enjoyable experience.

I also invite other people to share their opinions, agreements, and disagreements to the points above! Especially if there is anything important that I may have missed. I hope this is helpful and thank you again everyone for your positive comments on my tutorials. :')

Cost of Hiring Remote mobile app Developers from india

In today’s ever-changing world of app development, businesses from every corner of the globe are starting to look towards remote recruitment as a means of getting their mobile applications built.

Among the various different countries which offer outsourcing services for software, India stands out due to its large number of skilled developers along with cost-effective solutions. But being attracted by cheap prices, it is important for companies to realize all complexities connected with hiring remote mobile app developers in India.

It’s important to note that the cost of hiring remote Indian developers varies significantly based on a number of factors. One major thing that influences price is skills and experience levels possessed by them.

Indian app Developers who have been in this field for longer and have more app delivery records will charge higher compared to those without much experience. Thus businesses should do intensive background checks and establish if the potential candidates are capable of delivering what they need before hiring them.

Furthermore, overall expenses could also depend on project complexity which varies from one application to another. A simple mobile app with few features here and there would not cost as much as a complex one that has advanced requirements.

How To Sell Gold For Cash: A Comprehensive Guide

Assessing Your Gold

Before selling your gold for cash, it's essential to assess its value accurately. Determine the purity of your gold items by checking for hallmarks or conducting a purity test.

When preparing to Sell Gold for cash, the first step is to assess the value of your gold items accurately. This involves determining the purity and weight of your gold, as these factors play a crucial role in determining its market value.

One way to assess the purity of your gold is to look for hallmarks or stamps on your gold jewelry or coins. These markings indicate the karatage or purity of the gold, with common hallmarks including 24K, 18K, 14K, and 10K. If your gold items are not stamped with a hallmark, you can use a gold testing kit to determine their purity accurately.

Researching Current Market Prices

Before selling your gold, research current market prices to ensure you get a fair deal. Gold prices fluctuate daily based on supply and demand dynamics, economic conditions, and geopolitical factors.

One option is to use online resources such as financial news websites, precious metal market indices, or mobile apps that provide real-time updates on gold prices. These platforms offer valuable insights into gold price trends and allow you to track price movements over time.

Additionally, consider reading online reviews and testimonials from past customers to gauge the reputation of potential buyers. Positive reviews and high ratings are indicators of a buyer's reliability and professionalism, while negative reviews may signal red flags such as hidden fees or poor customer service.

Transparency is another essential factor to consider when choosing a gold buyer to get high Cash For Gold. Look for buyers who provide clear and detailed information about their pricing policies, including how they calculate gold prices based on purity and weight. Avoid buyers who are vague or evasive about their pricing methods, as this may indicate dishonesty or unethical practices.

Preparing Your Gold For Sale

Before selling your gold for cash, take steps to prepare your gold items for inspection and evaluation.

Preparing your gold for sale is an essential step in the selling process that can help you maximize the value of your gold items and ensure a smooth transaction. Before presenting your gold items to potential buyers, take the time to clean and organize them to make a positive impression and facilitate the evaluation process.

Start by cleaning your gold jewelry or coins using a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the surface of your gold items with a soft-bristled brush to remove any dirt, oil, or tarnish that may have accumulated over time. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish of your gold and diminish its value.

Once your gold items are clean and dry, inspect them carefully for any signs of damage or wear. Look for scratches, dents, or missing stones that may affect the overall value of your gold. If necessary, consider having your gold items professionally repaired or restored to enhance their appearance and marketability.

After cleaning and inspecting your gold items, store them securely in a protective case or pouch to prevent damage during transportation. Avoid mixing your gold items with other jewelry or valuables, as this can increase the risk of loss or damage. Instead, keep your gold items separate and label them accordingly to ensure they remain safe and secure until they are ready to be sold.

By taking the time to prepare your gold for sale, you can present your items in the best possible condition and increase their appeal to potential buyers. Additionally, thorough preparation demonstrates your commitment to transparency and professionalism, which can help build trust and confidence with buyers during the selling process.

Negotiating The Sale

When selling your Gold For Cash, don't be afraid to negotiate with buyers to get the best possible price for your items. Be prepared to walk away if you're not satisfied with the offer and consider seeking quotes from other buyers to leverage your bargaining position.

Negotiating the sale of your gold is an essential aspect of the selling process that can significantly impact the outcome of the transaction. By approaching negotiations strategically and confidently, you can maximize the value of your gold items and secure a fair price for your investment.

One key strategy in negotiating the sale of your gold is to be well-informed about current market prices and the value of your gold items. Conduct thorough research and obtain quotes from multiple buyers to establish a baseline for comparison and gauge the competitiveness of each offer. Armed with this information, you can negotiate from a position of strength and confidently assert the value of your gold to potential buyers.

When negotiating with Jewelry Buyers, be prepared to advocate for your interests and articulate the reasons why your gold is worth a certain price. Highlight any unique features or attributes of your gold items that may increase their value, such as rare designs, historical significance, or exceptional craftsmanship. By showcasing the inherent value of your gold, you can justify your asking price and persuade buyers to offer a higher price for your items.

Additionally, don't be afraid to walk away from a negotiation if you're not satisfied with the offer. Remember that you have the right to sell your gold on your own terms and shouldn't feel pressured to accept an offer that doesn't meet your expectations. Consider seeking quotes from other buyers to leverage your bargaining position and explore alternative selling options if necessary.

Throughout the negotiation process, maintain professionalism and courtesy when interacting with buyers, even if negotiations become challenging or contentious. By fostering a positive and constructive dialogue, you can increase the likelihood of reaching a mutually beneficial agreement and completing the sale successfully.

In conclusion, negotiating the sale of your gold requires careful preparation, strategic planning, and assertive communication. By following these tips and approaching negotiations with confidence and professionalism, you can optimize the value of your gold items and secure a favorable outcome for your investment.

anxiety: rigid & permanent thinking

in this post i examine two cognitive distortions that anxiety reinforces, how they appear in my life, and what i can do to challenge them. kind of rambling and personal.

my behaviour is dictated by many rules. these rules must always be followed (rigidity) or things will go wrong, which in this case means i will never be the person i want to be (permanence).

i developed these rules as guardrails for my adult life. they have saved me from trouble many times in my life, and i used to swear by them before i realized how much grief and self-loathing i had internalized. there are many factors contributing to this, but i would like to focus on two patterns:

rigid thinking. demands certainty, safety crutches. a little micromanager with a clipboard bursting in to hold everyone up, making sure things are to plan, predictable.

permanent thinking. asserts futility, devalues contributions. a wanna-be sisyphus who decided that an eternity pushing a boulder uphill is more exhausting and just as meaningless as sitting out forever.

both of these cognitive patterns make me stay put, convinced that i am not to be trusted with any responsibility because i wouldn't be able to handle it anyway. they know what's better for me, why let myself get judged or rejected when i can just stay unchanged and inexperienced?

social

scripting an answer in my head before raising my and in class (rigid)

asking a conversational AI for tone / affect edits before sending a low-stakes check-in text to friends (rigid)

shaming myself for thinking i have the least optimal characteristics and that i will always have to compensate more than others (permanent)

personal

lying in bed thinking about what i will do, well past daylight (rigid)

min-maxing expenses for food, travel, tickets, reservations for a day-trip, often with back-up options (rigid)

avoiding job search due to the perceived requisite soul-sucking and schmoozing and selling out to get and keep a job (permanent)

academic

spiraling about how burnt out i think i will feel after i catch up on my late assignments (permanent)

deep-cleaning my entire room before an assignment is due (rigid)

whatever the reason, i have someone else's criticisms and worries convincing me that life is full of terribly monstrous people and situations that i can neither control nor mitigate, much less survive. therefore, i must take their recommended precautions to avoid ever coming into contact with these experiences, and i should be relieved that the small, small price for this invaluable advice is my self-esteem.

but i know that i am not who i used to be when i made those rules. i am not who i used to be just a minute ago. every single moment i feed to this inner critic is an opportunity lost to just live. i have hurt important people in my life and stirred up dark grief inside my mind because i was too preoccupied with this inner critic. even when i compare myself to myself and wax nostalgic about this superior past me that could hold her own, i am robbing my present of my presence.

the big takeaways for me are to de-couple myself from the anxiety and to recognize that anxiety is not permanent. i can handle more than i think and i can enjoy growth without self-flagellation. i can be flexible and temporal, because i am more than any single moment. it is cruel to hold myself to unrealistic expectations and pretend that anything less is pessimism.

exercises

start a worry journal. log instances where i engaged in either cognitive pattern. reflect on what it would be like to challenge them. log instances where i challenged myself to do the opposite of what the patterns advise me to do.

take mindful moments. i've been enjoying the daily meditation recommendations through the Headspace app. after maintaining a 17-day streak, i notice that i can remind myself to take a deep breath now when facing a difficult moment. that was not something i could do consciously before (i used to think that whenever someone took a deep breath meant that they were feeling stressed or unhappy and were trying to hide it, manipulatively).

externalize physical anxiety. i have found it easier to stay relaxed and present when i squish a stress ball (a hot pink silicone cat, in my case). using a dedicated worry object helps me divert my attention away from repetitive body-focused behaviours like nail-biting, cheek-biting, leg-shaking, hair-pulling, hand-wrenching.

that's it from me. i hope you got something out of this, even if light. thanks for reading.

Unlocking the Cost of Your Hotel Booking Website: A Deep Dive

In the ever-evolving travel landscape, a robust hotel booking website is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. 

Whether you're venturing into the online hotel booking space or seeking to expand your existing business, understanding the cost involved in building a user-friendly and functional website is crucial. 

This blog delves into the key factors influencing the cost of your hotel booking website, empowering you to make informed decisions.

Website Design and Development

Complexity: A basic website with essential functionalities like search, booking, and payment options will have a lower cost compared to a feature-rich platform offering interactive experiences and personalized recommendations.

Customization: Opting for a pre-designed template can be more budget-friendly, while custom website design allows for a unique brand identity and caters to specific needs, impacting the cost.

Development Team: Hiring an in-house development team can incur significant salaries, benefits, and infrastructure costs. Partnering with a reputable hotel website design company with expertise in this domain can offer a cost-effective alternative.

Additional Features:

Advanced Search and Filter Options: Allowing users to filter by location, amenities, price range, and guest reviews adds value but increases development complexity and cost.

Multilingual Support: Catering to a global audience by offering multilingual support necessitates additional development effort and ongoing translation costs.

Integration with Third-Party Platforms: Integrating with payment gateways, channel management systems, and loyalty programs can enhance functionality but involve additional costs for development and potential ongoing fees.

Maintenance and Ongoing Costs

Content Management System (CMS): A user-friendly CMS empowers you to manage website content and updates independently, reducing reliance on developers and potentially lowering costs.

Hosting and Security: Choosing reliable hosting and robust security measures ensures website uptime and data protection, incurring fixed monthly or annual costs.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Implementing SEO strategies improves website visibility in search engine results, potentially requiring ongoing investment in content creation, technical SEO optimization, and potentially, marketing campaigns.

Determining the Right Budget

The cost of your hotel booking website can vary significantly based on your specific requirements, desired features, and chosen development approach. It's essential to prioritize features based on your target audience, business goals, and budget constraints.

Ready to unlock the potential of your hotel booking website? 

Contact a hotel website development expert today to discuss your vision and receive a personalized cost estimate tailored to your unique needs. Prometteur Solutions is top mobile and web app development company in India and USA.

Remember, a well-designed and developed website can be an investment that drives significant returns in the long run, attracting new customers and boosting your online presence in the competitive hospitality industry.

"Earning Money with Real Apps in the World"

In today's digital age, mobile applications have become an integral part of everyday life for billions of people around the world. With the widespread use of smartphones and tablets, the demand for innovative and functional mobile apps continues to grow. This presents a lucrative opportunity for developers and entrepreneurs to monetize their creations and generate revenue through various channels. From premium app sales to in-app purchases and advertising, there are numerous strategies for earning money with real apps in the world.

1. **Premium App Sales**:

- One of the most straightforward ways to monetize a mobile app is by selling it as a premium download on app stores such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Users pay a one-time fee to download and access the app's features and content.

- Pricing strategies may vary based on factors such as the app's functionality, target audience, and competition. Developers often conduct market research and analysis to determine an optimal pricing strategy that balances profitability with user demand.

2. **In-App Purchases (IAP)**:

- In-app purchases allow users to buy virtual goods, additional features, or premium content within the app. This monetization model is commonly used in freemium apps, where the initial download is free, but certain features or content are locked behind paywalls.

- Developers can offer a variety of in-app purchase options, including subscriptions, consumable items, and unlockable content. Effective implementation of in-app purchases requires careful consideration of user experience and value proposition to encourage conversions.

3. **Subscription Services**:

- Subscription-based monetization models offer users access to premium features, content, or services for a recurring fee. This model is popular among app developers in various industries, including media streaming, fitness, productivity, and gaming.

- Subscription services provide a steady stream of revenue and encourage long-term user engagement. Developers often offer multiple subscription tiers with varying levels of access to cater to different user preferences and budgets.

4. **Advertising Revenue**:

- Advertising remains a dominant revenue stream for many mobile apps, especially those offered as free downloads. Developers can integrate various ad formats, including banners, interstitials, rewarded videos, and native ads, to monetize their apps.

- Ad placement, targeting, and optimization are crucial factors that influence advertising revenue. Developers often collaborate with ad networks or mediation platforms to maximize ad fill rates and eCPM (effective cost per mille).

5. **Affiliate Marketing**:

- Affiliate marketing involves promoting third-party products or services within the app and earning a commission for successful referrals or conversions. This monetization strategy is particularly common in e-commerce, travel, and lifestyle apps.

- Developers can leverage affiliate networks or establish direct partnerships with brands and merchants to monetize their apps through affiliate marketing. Effective integration and promotion of affiliate offers require a deep understanding of the app's audience and their purchasing behavior.

6. **Sponsorships and Partnerships**:

- Collaborating with brands, businesses, or influencers through sponsorships and partnerships can provide additional revenue opportunities for app developers. Sponsorship deals may involve featuring branded content, sponsored events, or co-branded promotions within the app.

- Developers can also explore strategic partnerships with complementary apps or platforms to cross-promote each other's products and services. Such partnerships can help expand the app's user base and generate incremental revenue through revenue-sharing agreements.

7. **Data Monetization**:

- Some apps collect user data, such as demographics, usage patterns, and preferences, which can be valuable for targeted advertising, market research, or personalized experiences. Developers can monetize this data by anonymizing and aggregating it to sell insights or ad inventory to third parties.

- Data privacy and security are paramount considerations when implementing data monetization strategies. Developers must comply with applicable data protection regulations and obtain explicit user consent for data collection and sharing activities.

8. **Crowdfunding and Donations**:

- Crowdfunding platforms allow developers to raise funds for app development or ongoing maintenance by soliciting contributions from users or supporters. Crowdfunding campaigns typically offer rewards or exclusive perks to backers based on their contribution levels.

- In addition to crowdfunding, some developers opt to monetize their apps through voluntary donations from users who appreciate the app's value and want to support its continued development and improvement.

In conclusion, earning money with real apps in the world involves a combination of strategic planning, user-centric design, and effective monetization strategies. Whether through premium sales, in-app purchases, advertising, or other revenue streams, developers must continuously innovate and adapt to meet evolving market demands and user expectations. By leveraging the diverse monetization opportunities available in the mobile app ecosystem, developers can unlock the full potential of their creations and build sustainable businesses in the competitive app market.
