Palworld Packs a Punch (and Maybe a Lawsuit?) With One Million Sales, "Pokémon-with-Guns" Style

Remember Palworld, the “Pokémon-with-guns” game that sent Twitter ablaze with hype earlier this week? Well, it turns out the buzz wasn’t all sunshine and Poké Balls. While the game stormed out of the gate with over a million sales across Xbox, PC, and Game Pass, it also ignited a fiery debate surrounding its monster designs. Some eagle-eyed trainers noticed some uncanny similarities between…

Success is Dependent on Secret Information

A lot of career success depends on you and the work you put into it, as well as luck beyond your control, but sadly, it also depends on secret information, magic words, and stupid little tricks.

That's not fair. I don't like it, but we can help by sharing that secret information--which is the antidote to gate-keeping. That's why I recently wrote this in my Authors of Nonfiction Books in Progress substack:

It can be really disheartening to realize that, when you thought you failed at something because you didn't do well enough, other people had the magic words. For instance, some injustices I've witnessed (that may or may not always be the case, or maybe not anymore!) include:

A good athletic score doesn't get you into a college sport--having a coach or parent talk to the college coach is mandatory

Many school-sponsored scholarships are often not tightly linked to grades, test scores, or financial need, but whether the student said the right words ("I can't afford that") to the right person (presumably some financial office person.)

Apparently, some aspects of some degrees are cheated on by most students (if that's the case, we should tell all students that it's ok to cheat on that so they don't waste their time on something that apparently wasn't important anyway, or worse, fail out just for being ethical.)

Especially related to books: Few people will mention that you can get grants! Not my agent, not my publisher, not the 1 zillion "pros and cons of trad publishing" articles out there mentioned grants (Grant eligibility is a HUGE benefit of trad publishing.) I got more money from grants than my entire book advance!

Let me know what magic words/secret knowledge you've learned, that you wish you knew sooner. Or: the widespread understanding of what information would make a field more fair?

And please share ANBIP with anyone writing, publishing, or seriously about to start writing, a nonfiction non-memoir book, especially if they're interested in the more practical side (I share more about resources and strategy than craft.)

mike and will on a nighttime investigation mission in the woods and them being caught off guard by a rustling in the bushes near them and will putting himself in front of mike and mike taking his hand without even realising it and then continuing to walk behind will like he’s being dragged because mike is scared and doesn’t know what wtf is going on and will is more experienced in evading the Creatures and their hands are still intertwined and it takes them several minutes to realise that they’re still holding hands when will stops to survey the area to check if they’re safe to keep moving forward and mike drops will’s hand and laughs awkwardly and will looks at him like alright bro whatever and keeps walking and mike has to take a second to compose himself before he starts walking with will again

USA Ballot Measures Nov. 2024

41 states (and Washington DC) have ballot measures this year! Even if your state's electoral college result isn't in question, you may have ballot measures to vote on alongside the presidential election and state-wide elections.

Below the read more link is an alphabetical list of each state with ballot measures. Each state name links to the Ballotpedia.org page for that state's ballot measures, which will be updated with new developments as election day nears (some ballot measures are still tied up in court as of when I'm making this post in late September, so the approved ballot measures may change before you vote). Ballotpedia has information on each ballot measure, including what a yes/no would mean, arguments for and against, who supports/opposes each measure, and the full text of the measure.

THE CANAAN MASTERDOC/POST IS HERE!

Welcome one and all, and thank you for your patience and feedback! 17 sources and counting, mostly articles but some books -- I've also tried my best to find open access materials but inevitably some things will be restricted, unfortunately. This is formatted more like a bibliography (organized by subject) or directory to orient people towards Canaan and adjacent resources. This is my special interest and it's my greatest joy to share this with people! Please let me know any feedback you have! Anyone with the LINK should be able to access it.

[wittyworm]

Going to be making stickers and posters and spreading this around my town hopefully soon. the green square is going to have a QR code that will have a bunch of resources and ways to help. Iv gathered some of my own but if anyone has resources they think would be helpful or have suggestions on ways to best do this (its just me and my sister) id really appreciate the help.

[gertritude-art]

Hey guys. This isn't art, but I wanted to ask here because it has a bigger reach - if I wanted to find old copies (1930s-1940s) of student publications from british universities (Oxford, Cambridge, etc.) is there a place that might have scans of them online? Or, at least, where I might look to find better primary resources about high-end university students during this time period?

[grimeclown]

Oh my god and I just found out they nerfed the shit out of smeeta kavats to make them less insane loot engines so this notable increase in rare loot drops is a weaker version of what people had with them before. Ridiculous
