#i do not vouch for gamers in general but

[the-cooler-newton]

LISTEN! listen okay. gamer boys get a bad rap but if you find half decent ones there is honestly no better feeling then chilling in a voice call with them and they all make the dumbest jokes youve ever heard and poke fun at each other cus it makes you laugh while you all suck at a video game together. theres a type of magic there i swear it

@deepseaneko​ Matteo. Matt cat. Catteo. My brother we are going to fight right now. Come here.

Matteo, my friend, your essay is 53 words away from meeting the minimum word count I assigned you. As such, points will be deducted from its final score!

1. using the pinkpantheress x skrillex collab as an example does not work on me. the only reason why I am willing to listen to it is because pinkpantheress on it. if she wasn’t, I would have no incentive to listen to it at all.  there are non-skrillex-produced pinkpantheress songs that are much better. skrillex’s production of the track is fully irrelevant, if not detrimental to me. this is irrelevant to dubstep as a genre. shortly put: IDGAF.

2. most dubstep drops are the audio equivalent of sony vegas 13 shockwave minecraft gamer video intros. shortly put: IDGAF.

3. the existence of worse EDM subgenres is irrelevant to the argument of dubstep being good. there may certainly be complete caca doo doo asscrack genres of EDM, and yet I would not care, because dubstep is still bad. if you want me to vouch for [X] subgenre of EDM being bad, that is a separate discussion. I told lab I choose dubstep on somewhat of a whim, I did not think of it necessarily as the worst genre possible, because choosing the worst genre possible would require extended research efforts. however, I still stand by my opinion. shortly put: IDGAF.

4. one iconic song (or a small handful of good songs) is not enough to save an entire genre. statistical outliers exist. if 95% of dubstep is bad and 5% of dubstep is good, then dubstep is still majorly bad, and the good 5% is an outlying saving grace. but I’m even willing to advocate for the fact that...monster dotexe is not very good at all! it may be iconic, but not everything that has cemented itself in internet consciousness is good. in fact, the drop is the weakest part of the song to me. shortly put: IDGAF!

5. I love you, buddy. I do. I care. shortly put: XOXO.

6. I think melodic dubstep is definitely an improvement of dubstep, but I would still not classify it as a generally good genre, and chances are I would not listen to it willingly. however, I will not offer much of my time to arguing about melodic dubstep, because I am arguing about original dubstep specifically. Which sucks dick and cock.

7. I agree that most male country music is ass, but country also encompasses the vast expanse of female country music, which is good and fucking awesome. even if I account for the polarising 50/50 nature of the genre, it still ranks above dubstep. Sorry.

8. 

[aposemetric]

hi! i'm kinda bored these days because i've just been rewatching shows but i've got an itch to start some new ones and expand my media palate; i was told to ask you because a friend of mine said you had really good taste in anime ^_^ any recs? just list off your favorites! thanks and have a happy new year!

OH... ANON <3 you speak words that sound like birdsong to me. happy new year to you, too!

i'll list the ones i find the very best in no particular order, and i'll attempt to give a "short" description of why they might be worth your time! it'll obviously depend on several things like your own tastes and whether you've ever actually seen any anime etc., but it should cover a range of themes/genres at least :)

Hunter x Hunter (2011) 148 eps

hxh is an action-adventure story that starts out deceptively simple, but is structured in a way where each 'arc' has a wildly different theme/genre influences, meaning you really would never guess where it goes from its somewhat slow start. incredible character writing with emotional highpoints that feel like fantastic pay-off. a real journey, and one that pretty much everyone who's ever touched this show (and There Are Many) will vouch for! best of its genre, hands down.

Cardcaptor Sakura (1998) 70 eps + two films

if you're looking for something very sweet and relaxing, then this is the best pick! css is an episodic type of show you'd most enjoy taking slowly; it's a look into the seemingly idyllic daily life of this lovely cast of characters who are dealing with magic and mystery. this show feels like marshmallows, and with its intrigue captures the feeling of childlike wonder supremely well. a great take on light fantasy set in the modern world, with beautiful animation to boot!

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1988) 110 eps + two films

if i could force people to watch anything ever, it would be this show. logh is a brilliant epic (in the literary sense) (also in the gamer sense) space opera that at a surface level seems to be about politics and spaceship battles, when it really has character-driven appeal at its core. if you just love wondering why that general looked at his right hand man like that when that other admiral made that clearly philosophically-dubious remark... well. it's genuinely a masterpiece, poses interesting political & philosophical questions about systems of rulership and domestic life and our roles in society, is funny, and has what maybe is the best character of all time. i could not recommend this more!

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (2011)

chances are you know of jjba! it's unlike any other anime in presentation and style, for which it is super well-known. jjba has the rather unique appeal of consisting of 'parts', with different casts & settings for each part, while still being a story that ultimately follows one bloodline. this means you start off enjoying a shakespearean tragedy set in 1880s england at some point, and a mafia storyline set in italy in the 2000s at another. jjba does very ridiculous and flashy things, but does them so convincingly and takes itself so seriously that you end up buying every strange twist it throws at you! jjba is just super fun.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006) 28 eps + 'The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya' film

haruhi is an eccentric show with an equally eccentric cast, refusing loyalty to any genre despite an overfamiliar setting. it's... seriously hard to describe what exactly is going on in this show. it plays into the meta of certain anime tropes, and presents characters as being prime examples of those tropes... before you learn they're acting the part knowingly. it dabbles in philosophy, drama, and sci-fi, and yet saying that doesn't represent its appeal accurately at all. it's very non-traditional, yet very easy to get into. it has the best anime film of all time. this is one where you really should check out the first episode, or a trailer, because words aren't going to do it any justice!

Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) 39 eps + 'Adolescence' film

ourgh... this story. rgu seems like it's going to be a fun story about sword-duels, before hitting you with a genuinely harrowing examination of (gender) roles we're forced to play, systems of control and oppression, and so much dense symbolism you could write fifteen essays after one watch. it's flowery and artistic, and the type of show that requires active input from the viewer in the form of analysis and interpretation. it has a greek chorus! it's not at all hard to care for the (very mentally ill) cast of characters, and you might find yourself fundamentally changed as a person after watching this. especially if you're queer, this show will likely poke hard into your soul.

Berserk (1997) 25 eps

many recommend skipping ep1 for spoiler reasons. i recommend skipping it because it's not interesting. we r not the same. it is a story set in horses-and-knights-and-such era europe, which i generally despise, but this show is SO beautifully atmospheric in its dreamy colours and out-of-this-world soundtrack that it ends up feeling like a hazy and hope-filled memory by the time berserk reveals itself to be... a tragedy. a story that fundamentally is about two people who long for connection with the other so badly, but whose formative experiences were always irrevocably going to contort their fate. additional shout-out to the soundtrack for being completely unlike anything else, and certainly not what you imagine a show set in that era to sound like!

Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) 26 eps + 'End of Evangelion' film

another very famous show, nge is all about the psychological profiles of some very disturbed characters! they have SO many issues and the show loves to make them go on introspective little journeys of suffering. packed full with symbolism (again), nge loves invoking biblical themes/symbols especially. this story is about the Human Condition and about the pain of trying to get closer to others, all wrapped up alongside some good old action.

91 Days (2016) 12 eps

finally, this is a relatively underground choice here! a very easy show to enjoy, especially for those who haven't watched anime before, 91 days offers a relatively short but well-bounded mafia revenge story. what this show sets out to do, it does quite perfectly, and so it's probably the most straightforward entry in this list. it nails its narrative well, has a fun setting (1920s america), and is really good at sticking the landing when it comes to delivering on emotions and storylines that build throughout the show!

if anyone reads this far, have a great day/evening! :)

Growing up and being a dedicated FIFA fan, I remember the adrenaline rush of opening FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs, only to face the all-too-common disappointment of not getting the players I dreamed of. Like many of you, I ended up spending a lot of my hard-earned money chasing the dream. My name is Tom, and today, I want to share with you a game-changer: the FC 24 coin generator. Before you raise an eyebrow and dismiss this as another scam, hear me out.

1. The Struggles of a FIFA Gamer

Almost every FIFA gamer knows the struggle. You save up, buy packs, and hope to strike gold with a rare player. But more often than not, it feels like the game is stacked against you. It's frustrating, isn't it? You see others flaunting their best teams, while you're stuck trying to make do with the players you have.

2. The Lure of the FC 24 Coin Generator

The promise of unlimited coins and points can be tempting. When I first heard of the FC 24 coins hack, I was skeptical. There are countless scams littered across the internet, preying on the dreams of FIFA fans. But after doing my due diligence, I found one that genuinely worked.

3. A Word of Caution

Before we delve deeper, it's essential to address a significant point. Not all FC 24 hacks out there are genuine. In fact, a lot of them are designed to exploit young gamers, causing them to lose more than they gain. Be very wary and always do your research.

4. The Real Deal with the FC 24 Coin Generator

When I finally stumbled upon a legit FC 24 coin generator, it felt like I'd unlocked a secret level in a game. With free coins and points at my disposal, I could finally create the team I'd always wanted.

For those wondering how these generators work, most of them exploit glitches or loopholes in the game's coding to allocate coins and points to your account. The process can vary, but typically, you provide your username, choose your platform, and then select the number of coins or points you want.

5. How to Spot a Genuine FC 24 Coins Hack

Here's a checklist for those of you on the hunt:

Reviews and Testimonials: Before trying out any FC 24 hack, look for reviews. Genuine tools will have real gamers vouching for them.

No Personal Information: A genuine hack will never ask for passwords or payment details. If it does, it's a red flag.

Regular Updates: FIFA regularly patches its games. A legitimate coin generator will also have frequent updates to adapt to these changes.

6. In Closing

My journey with FC 24 was transformed by discovering a genuine FC 24 coin generator. And I genuinely believe that, with caution and diligence, you too can benefit from this. While it's essential to be wary of scams, remember that not every tool out there is out to get you. The dream of building your ultimate team without burning a hole in your pocket can be a reality.

[alias-milamber]

Some, but not most, I think?

I am a cisgendered straight-asterisk, ace, polyam male. I consider my gender quite a bit - easily over half my local tribe are queer[1] in some kind of way, including my primary partner. I consider myself male because my connection to the concept is inherent, and all my desire not to be connected to the concept derives from the label "male" - and especially cis-male - being full of people I wish to distance myself from. I *am* male, in much the same way that I am leftist, British, Gamer, etc. I am all of those things with an awareness of the terrible and inescapable connotations that all those labels bring, and if there was a version of the label that was "That, but not Like That" which couldn't be colonised by the people "Like That", I'd use it. Instead, I stick with cis-male, and hope that the surrounding cloud of people willing to vouch for me when I need it, and tell me when I fuck up when I need that, are enough virtue signalling for one man.

Having said that, I do think that the current attacks on Transness is going to have a chilling effect on cis people (Especially cis-men, as we're trained from birth to avoid introspection wherever possible) actually analysing their own gender, especially as the options presented by the general media are the binary "remain cis or be an ugly (and fake) woman".

IDK. I think most people are the gender they think they are, but we should encourage introspection anyway for the ones that would benefit from it.

Feetneat under cut.

[1] This is shorthand, because explaining it as "the community who accepts and compasses LGBTQIA acceptance and promotion" every time is long-winded. It's also a little mis-leading, because I do not consider myself queer. I do not feel safe in any queer-adjacent "safe space"[2] because - as a white cis male - I am absolutely aware that there is no observable difference between me and the people the spaces are safe *from*. Every so often someone will say that "as a bi woman, I give you permission", which does not solve the "not enough" vibe, and in fact makes it explicitly worse.

[2] Not that I feel safe in cis-male safe spaces either, because they are almost universally awful in ways that prove every prejustice of cis-men to be generally accurate.

[3] I am not in any way attempting to say that cis-males have it harder than anyone else at all. Also, this footnote wasn't referenced anywhere, so if you're reading this, you are cheating at tumblr and will be reported to the authorities[7].

[7] There are no authorities.

so you know how you get different results from surveys depending on if you ask about the label or the underlying thing? like, more people will tell you they support very socialist policies than will tick the box that says "socialist", that kind of thing?

I wonder what you'd get if you asked cis people about the effects of gender, but not the label?

I wonder how much cisgenderism is really just lack of insight?

[libertarian-druid-ny-separatist]

So, I’d actually love to have a discussion about this

Fallout New Vegas, now more than a decade old, still has a lot of sway over Fallout series fans, and gamers in general. And the most debated topic for it, the ending and which is best.

Imma start this out by saying that the entire game is basically about slavery, so Legion is the natural starting point. By putting them in charge, you exchange all liberty for a few people’s safety. Those people are specifically Caesar’s officers and command structure. Everyone else is either drafted, enslaved, or killed. So any difference that people claim they make, is not a positive difference at all. To live under Caesar is to be a slave. 

But what about the NCR? A corrupt, overspread, overburdened force from outside looking to colonize Vegas. As likely as the legion is to collapsing, the NCR may be more likely to. Their best tech is broken power armor scavenged from the Brotherhood and Vertibirds taken from the Enclave. 

Speaking of which, since some people consider the Enclave to be a faction worth adding to the discussion, they’re not. The Enclave is so insignifigant that I missed them on not just my first, but my first four playthroughs. Their few elderly members can’t lead or even really fight. While it might be worthwhile to keep them around, they’re not worth discussing for long term leadership.

But on the topic of long term leadership, let’s move onto House. For a dictator, he’s not terrible. His authoritarian actions are meant for everyone’s security and usually don’t involve slavery, unless you’re one of those people that think a robot can be a slave. What he isn’t as capable of doing is bringing peace to the Mojave with the existing tribes still in it. After Hoover Dam, House  is a model of efficiency, but with no soul left to it. Smart move, but not good in my eyes and relies on a lot of trust in House.

Who else does that leave though? 

Who could we trust more than House? The man who kept the Mojave and New Vegas running for 200 years.

Why not ourselves?

That’s right, I’m here to vouch for the independent ending, but not one where I become king of the Mojave by killing off the tribes and being an asshole. After all, my big problems with House and Legion was the authoritarianism. If we take the reign of Yes Man, he is our loyal servant and he can ensure fair treatment for the tribes while providing security to the entire Mojave and possibly beyond. Something that we see House refuse to do thanks to how jaded he is after trying, once. With ourselves at the helm, we can help the tribes that can help the Mojave like the Boomers, Khans, and Followers, while destroying the ones that harm it like the Fiends.

[agent-cupcake]

Slightly disagree with one part of your post where you said that Claude would be into Crusader Kings. He'd be more onto EU4 because of how much metagaming, outside-the-box strategies and avoiding equal fights are needed to win. Dimitri would be into CK because unlike in most strategy games a huge focus is put on raising and protecting your family, and wouldn't stop talking about how much better III is than II. Edelgard would be into HOI4 because *insert predictable communist Edelgard memes here*

Yes yes but Crusader Kings is more fun from a fantasy/immersion point of view AND has God tier meme potential. Though there's no reason he wouldn't play both considering there are no new games with as intense RPG mechanics coming out. He'd probably play a bunch of those puzzle games on his phone too. Or just phone games in general. On the same hand, however, I think Claude would feel passionately opposed to microtransactions and how they prey on younger people and those with easily exploitable vices as well as other slimy, money hungry tactics that run rampant in the industry.

While I love the memes, I don't really see Dimitri as being into any non-casual game. Like, he played games with his friends but otherwise his experience is unmodded Skyrim on the 360 and light dabbling in Minecraft. His escapism isn't tilted towards the fantastical and his coping mechanics seem primarily physical, you know? The headaches would suck for any gaming too.

I don't think the usual meme is calling Edelgard a communist so it's not that predictable. Unless I'm missing a fresh wave of braindead hot takes, which, idk with this fandom. I can't say for sure what games she'd enjoy but I do know that Edelgard would have gamer rage for anything competitive. Felix popping off about weapons would have nothing on her determination to win at any cost. Depending on how you augment a modern au for her, it's really cute to imagine Edelgard playing a bunch of story driven sort of games with her sisters while they were homebound (sick? Maybe? Torture probably wouldn't work as well contextually). As a younger sibling myself I can vouch that watching my big bro play games was a highlight of snow/sick days. Buuuuut idk if she'd enjoy games as an adult as much. Super busy with the gatekeep gaslight girlboss stuff, ya know?

7 Tips To Obtain New Inventors Believing Like Effective Developers

Specifically, as a more recent financier, try to keep in mind that slow and stable success this race. Don't rush anything; your perseverance will certainly pay off as long as you are careful.

Investing in each action of the invention procedure reciprocates in both the short term (your first patent, and so on) and the longer-term (an understanding of exactly how this process is repeatable). Also find out InventHelp Crunchbase

1: Do Not Tell The World Concerning Your Invention Suggestion...

I received an e-mail lately that appeared like it was from Wal-Mart. Become a fraudster seeking to turn me into a target.

In 2015, my bank card was reported as utilized in Florida when I remained in New York City-- for $4,000.

There was even a Vice President at one of my old businesses who took my idea for an analytics reporting system and also shared it with the entire company as his very own.

What's the point of these tales?

The world has lots of people seeking a shortcut or an easy way to get rich.

They are probably heartless contrasted to you; predators.

Don't let somebody take advantage of your idea-- who recognizes, it could be a million (or billion) buck idea!

The last point you desire is to see it on the shelf understanding it was your brainchild, however, you do not obtain a cent in royalties for it. So try to keep your suggestion under covers, specifically in the early stages of the invention process.

2: Study The Need For Your Item Idea.

Eventually or one more, we've all had great concepts ... or so we thought.

In 3rd grade, I would have vouched that a double-sided toothbrush was going to save the globe about 25 seconds of their morning.

That was till I damaged a toothbrush as well as glued the head to the back of an additional full toothbrush. When I stuck it in my mouth I understood that I was mostly brushing (or stabbing) the inside of my cheeks.

I handed down that, thanks - It was better to enjoy the various other children explode volcanoes full of food coloring at the scientific research fair.

I was lucky though.

The study it took me to understand my intention was not possible was just about 10 minutes.

The truth is, if you want your invention idea to appear, you'll need to spend time and also resources in investigating the concept to identify if there is a market for your product.

Here are just a few of the concerns you'll wish to respond to when you're starting.

What problem does my item resolve?

Has this issue been addressed before (or tried)?

Just how will my item be made use of?

Will my product sell? (Exists industrial stability?).

To whom? (Target audience?).

Is it like anything else in the marketplace? (Elaborate on this, certainly - what fads are taking place in the market? Just how jampacked is it? Are people spending essentially on products I might take on? What're the social networks buzz around my specific niche?).

What marketing difficulties might I encounter?

A lot of innovators avoid this action as well as I completely comprehend why they do.

Two factors.

It can be lengthy.

It can seem (or be) costly.

I get it. You're delighted concerning your product so you feel like the world will certainly be delighted - certainly, there is a requirement, you're fixing a problem!

All that time and all that money invested in research study as well as answering concerns will only confirm what you already know, best?

Not always.

The successful ones are the ones that do their research.

Those who fail to spend ahead of time are supplying the typical death penalty to their invention. As a financier, you require to comprehend if the market demands your service You can also check https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q64627233

3: Record WHATEVER.

From the minute that suggestion precipitates, it's paramount to monitor every facet of the concept.

No matter if your concept changes a hundred times over, you always want to be the proprietor, the owner, of every idea that went into the invention as well as ultimately became the product.

So, specifically, what should you be recording?

Every thought and suggestion that at all concerns your invention (I uncommitted if you dream it ... PAPER IT!). You can always return to these notes, repeat on them, incorporate them in brand-new means, and so on. Much more notably, if anything is ever doubted, you have proof that the suggestion is yours.

All information that you can think about that helps you explain the invention.

Usage instances. What is your product for? What does it do? What problem or difficulty does it address? That will be utilizing it?

Where do you think it could be sold? What kind of shops? Is it part of something that currently exists?

How will it be made? Out of what?

Just how will you construct a prototype? Will you require aid?

To find full-circle right here, simply DOCUMENT EVERYTHING! I do not know if I can pierce this in any additional:-RRB-.

Why you ought to record your invention.

At some point in the invention cycle, you might need to prove that you are the proprietor of your suggestion. You may also need to confirm that you thought of a particular element of your invention.

Taxes! That's right - you can use your notes as well as files on costs for tax deductions.

Maintaining solid, systematic documentation of every idea you have and also every action you take allows you to take advantage of in-depth research and examine your work in the future so you can obtain innovative as well as build even more on it.

You're taping every little thing regarding your invention so you never forget also one thought you had regarding your idea.

4: Look For Professional Assist With Patents.

If you are new to investing, you'll intend to discover as high as you can around licenses (in addition to trademarks and also copyrights, yet that is a later lesson).

A research study ought to be an everyday activity for you.

Patents are a vast topic; it's the ocean of the invention procedure.

It's additionally a subject in which oceans of information are offered ... and also not all of it is true.

If you don't do your recon, it's a type of simple to get misguided or, also worse, capitalized on. As well as all of us recognize misaligned folks are plenty.

One terrific resource is constantly the United States Patent & Hallmark Workplace (USPTO). Nonetheless, in full disclosure, their site can be rather difficult to navigate and follow. It might befit you give some people there a call to ask certain concerns (though I'm not exactly sure the length of time delay time gets on their call center).

Another thing you can do is talk to a patent lawyer.

Below's a free life hack for you, some patent advice you probably won't find in other places:

Provide out concerns you want to ask the initial one. With those responses, try to ask smarter, much more enlightened questions to the 2nd one ... and so on - you get me.

5: Learn Exactly How To Present And Pitch (yes, I indicate OFFER!).

When I watch Shark Storage tank, I always keep a close eye on the instance each individual makes to the Sharks for their invention or product.

There are specific qualities I search for and also in my head, I generally rank each business owner weak or solid on each (or, in some cases, simply terrible).

The characteristics fall into 2 categories:

The speaker.

The discussion.

The owner of the suggestion or invention, the speaker, ought to show some innate top qualities if they intend to be perceived as a person a Shark can do service with. Before I provide those qualities, I simply want to mention "innate" ... meaning, some individuals are natural at specific points.

What I wouldn't condone is attempting to entirely be something you aren't.

If discussions, as well as sales, aren't your strong suit, I suggest training.

I've recently added an article regarding pitching your concept, whether it's to a shark or other investor, to a business, or a prospective partner.

To me, the best presenters are positive.

They make eye call, talk eloquently, and rely on their words.

When you do that, when you control the space fearlessly, you start to regulate the audience to pay attention to what you're stating.

As soon as you've "hypnotized" them, you can start to throw off Subliminals (such as a nod when you desire the possible buyer, investor, or Shark to believe "yes" in their head).

If you present self-confidence as a presenter, your distribution will constantly go from a 6 to an 8, specifically.

An additional quality of a wonderful presenter is going to hold your horses.

You work out persistence by paying attention, taking in, as well as analyzing things as you are offering your presentation.

Don't quickly look to be listened to; you'll get your chance.

Slow down, listen to what a prospective investor is stating, as well as see just how you can empathize.

The toughest presentations need to be tales, computer-animated by utilizing the brand name photo, look, and also really feel.

Stories have a beginning, middle, and end, as well as they always have a point.

Props must be utilized as required.

I when saw a person who developed a canteen that opened up on both sides (for far better cleansing). It was geared towards the athletic neighborhood as well as sporting activities gamers.

When he came on Shark Container, he had Costs Walton as his mascot - what a mind-blowing concept! (Particularly if you take into consideration that Mark Cuban is a Shark ... as well as he got a handle him).

If you have an invention and you wish to sell it, simply remember that you eventually need to sell it in some way.

You'll require to pitch the suggestion probably numerous times before it begins to materialize. Function on that lift pitch and also never stop boosting it from there.

6: Learn About Appraisal, Equity, Accountancy, And Organisation Money.

You wish to be fiscally responsible with your invention idea. I can't claim it any less complex than this.

As the proprietor of an invention, you definitely must know what the invention is worth.

Know your numbers.

As well as when you do, you sure better understand why it's worth that.

I have discussed research many times in this post, and also it's a popular string throughout this website for a factor: If you're not knowledgeable, you can pretty conveniently end up on the wrong side of a bad deal.

I recommend you do some analysis regarding bookkeeping, personal financing, company valuation, and various other financial subjects.

If time is way too much of a commodity, find out exactly how to take in info various other means - podcasts could be an excellent technique.

You'll intend to be a master of numbers.

It guarantees you aren't taken benefit of.

Second, when you do go pitch this concept or invention to investors, you'll likely be prompted on-the-spot to chat numbers. You better understand them. And when a person starts to make a deal, you wish to ensure the numbers they are offering are in the array you valuated your invention or business.

The evaluation of inventions is vital when identifying the general value.

Yet valuation is a pretty complicated subject; this is hardly introductory to Assessment 101.

And the truth is that evaluation can come down to a mix of complex calculations, extensive projections, and a peppering of ordinary old intestine instincts.

If you can confirm out that your invention fulfills an unmet demand or gets over a typical obstacle that appears to bug a big number of individuals, after that you can make a fairly strong situation for an economic benefit (and a good one for buy-in from investors) ... however, that doesn't suggest a real worth can be established.

With gray areas, the best point a brand-new investor can do is develop their abilities on the financial side of points. Math ninja would certainly be excellent.

7: Be Reasonable. You, Will, Requirement To Invest Time & Money To Make Money.

It takes a lot of individual financial investment to succeed as a capitalist.

That investment is available in several means: You'll be investing time right into establishing your suggestion; initiative into your patent; money right into your model; personal room and/or family time to make ends satisfy ... you get it.

This isn't a very easy roadway. Nothing beneficial was ever that easy.

And also as much as you're an optimist, be open to the potential of not making it, specifically with your initial invention.

It's OKAY to stop working.

A fantastic capitalist as soon as claimed "A creator can fall short 999 times, as well as if he is successful once, he remains in. He treats his failures simply as method shots.".

part four of necromancy nonsense

Today’s newspaper slides under Kuwabara’s nose. He puts down his coffee and reads the headline. ‘No leads in search for missing mother of two.’ “This is your neighborhood, right?”

Kuwabara looks up at Yamazaki. “Yeah.”

A woman with a wavy bob smiles up from his desk. She was last seen ordering coffee from the cafe two streets over from his house. Last night, the news looped footage of her walking into an alley and never walking out. That was a week ago.

Yukina happily vouches for her brother’s whereabouts. 

“That’s the third disappearance in six months. You walk home, don’t you, Kazuma?” Yamazaki scraps his teeth against his bottom lip. He’s got a habit of biting off the dry skin until his skin bleeds. “I could walk with you--make sure you get home okay.”

Kuwabara’s touched by Yamazaki’s concern. He can count on one hand how many people call him Kazuma. “That’s kind of you, but you don’t have to worry about me.” Some of his coworkers remember Kuwabara as being a bit of a brawler from when he was a kid, but Yamazaki’s new here. He doesn’t even know the story about the earthquake. Kuwabara prefers it that way. “I got a new...security system.” If his nightly visitor can be called such.

“Oh.” Yamazaki glances at his shoes before perking up. “Is it that Vigil Eye thing? I’ve been debating getting a security system for my mom. She lives all alone and with all this going on--” He shrugs. “Peace of mind, you know?”

Vigil Eye sounds like the eighth or ninth choice for Hiei’s gamer tag. “My system is a little less hi-tech.” It only costs him a higher grocery bill.

Kuwabara blinks. Didn’t Yamazaki say he lived alone, too, during one of the faculty meetings? Duh. Maybe Yamazaki isn’t worried about Kuwabara. “Hey, we don’t live that far from each other, do we? What if I walked you home?”

Yamazaki scratches his head, embarrassed. Why? He just offered to do the same for Kuwabara, didn’t he? “It’s out of your way. You’ll definitely be getting home after dark.”

Better Kuwabara alone after dark than basically everyone else in the city. He’s got a sword, psychic powers, and--

He’s got a lot of things the average person doesn’t, generally speaking. Maybe whatever is responsible for the weird shit going on will attack him.

Kuwabara glances at the article. The woman’s name is Ayame.

That firms up his resolve nicely. “I’ll meet you by the front gate?”

Yamazaki smiles shyly.

***

“Do you have family nearby?”

Kuwabara scans the streets. Empty. Guess most demons are abiding by the curfew. Since Natsume won the Makai Tournament, folks are more reluctant than usual to cross her. “My sister.”

He’s not worried about Shizuru. A grim reaper in her bed keeps her safer than Kuwabara could.

She’s been calling him a lot more. She leaves hints in the silence before she hangs up: talk to me, baby brother. I know you have something to say.

“I have a little brother,” Yamazaki says. “He hates it when I call him ‘little’. He’s only about seven minutes younger than I am.”

Twins, huh? “Does he live close to your mom?”

Yamazaki laughs. “He lives in Canada, actually. My mom jokes that she should have hedged her bets and had a third child. ‘Who’s supposed to take care of me in my old age? Why didn’t I have triplets?’“ Yamazaki exaggerates a bent back. “Old age--ha. She runs a marathon every month and her boyfriend is ten years her junior. She kicks my ass at everything!”

Kuwabara can’t run for enjoyment. It always reminds him of when he’s had to run for his life. “I wish I had her drive. I don’t have any hobbies to speak of.” Even Yusuke finds time to build model ships.

Yamazaki clasps his hands behind his back. “What about a boyfriend?”

A tree branch bends ever so slightly overhead. Kuwabara’s gait doesn’t falter. “Can’t say I have one of those, either.” Hiei might resent being called a ‘boy.’

“Not your type?”

Between Yukina and Hiei, his type is shockingly tailored. “I think I just get attached and don’t know when to let go.”

“Ah.” Yamazaki nods to himself. “You’re pining! I’ve been there.”

Is that what he’s doing? For what possible reason? “I’m--stupid.” A few leaves drift down into his hair. Kuwabara sweeps them away with his hand. “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Yukina wants to keep Hiei’s secret for the three of them alone, but Yusuke and Kurama love him, too. The curfew will lift eventually, and then there will be no more excuses for why they never see Hiei after dark.

Yamazaki stops dead on the sidewalk. “You’re not stupid, Kazuma. You’re just in love.” He trips over the last word. “Do I know this person? Is it the redhead that shows up sometimes? Or the woman with brown hair?”

It’s been awhile since Kurama has stopped by work. “Don’t let the lunch cart guy hear you say that. She’s his wife.”

Yamazaki rocks on his heels, refusing to entertain Kuwabara’s dodge.

Hiei’s shown up once at his job. He waited by the gates and informed Kuwabara that Yukina expects him at her apartment before dinner. The weekend trip to Makai was supposed to be fun, the demon realm’s smaller moon crossing the expanse of its larger sister, full and bright.

Twenty hours later, Hiei was dead, and Kuwabara was carefully following Yukina’s instructions on how to fix it.

“No, you haven’t.”

Seems like Yamazaki was expecting that. “That’s my place around the corner--fourth floor.”

It’s one of the older apartment complexes in the area. Not much in the way of security. “Should I walk you up?”

“Only if you’re coming in. I have TV dinners, if that tempts you.”

“Normally, that would be very tempting, but I’ve been into cooking recently.” He’s got meal prep more or less done for tonight.

“I thought you said you didn’t have any hobbies.”

Hiei isn’t a hobby. He’s more of a long term commitment. “I’ll call it a hobby if I keep it up for--oh--” Forever? “Until the end of the year.”

“I’d like to try it sometime. And you can try one of my TV dinners, if you change your mind.”

Kuwabara laughs. “Sounds like a deal.”

He waves goodbye to Yamazaki and walks home.

A few blocks later, Kuwabara says, “How do you feel about fried rice?”

Hiei races him home. Yes, then.

hearing my 12 year old nephew get bitched at by x-box ‘friends’ pisses me the fuck off. Now, I get that they are kids- but little shits like that turn into the gamer bros that I can absolutely not stand with no fear of consequences for anything they say/do.

Also- that’s my munchkin. You do not get to claim to be his friend and then bitch him out for not doing what you wanted him to in a fucking video game. He’s twelve. And I can vouch for the fact that the kid did not retaliate with any trashtalk because 1) I was in the room with him and 2) his momma (my sister) will completely ground his ass from the x-box if he’s being a little shit. The kid knows about consequences and is a generally sensitive kid. He ain’t perfect- but he also loves his x-box privileges and doesn’t want to lose them. He was upset and apologizing which I told him not to do anymore because the little shits weren’t listening and they were being fucking rude.

If these little fuckers think I won’t snatch up that mic and have a come to Jesus meeting with them- they are wrong.

Far Cry 5

(No Spoilers - to the best of my ability)

I’ve been waiting to do this since I got the game on release - despite being apprehensive about the game when the trailers were released - I admit I am completely in love with this game, and for my friends and acquaintances that are yet to play this game I have been asked to review it as an avid gamer and a fan of the Far Cry series to date.

The game begins in a traditional Far Cry manner, you meet Joesph Seed (The Father) who is the main antagonist and the rest of the Seed family, John, Jacob and Faith who all act as sub-antagonists in the game. You play a female or male deputy who is ordered to arrest Joseph at the very beginning for his cult activities (specifically kidnapping with the intent to harm). You take him to a helicopter and the story begins with full throttle action and blood pumping gameplay with you on the run from the Cult after a serious accident. Rescued by Dutch, you begin exploring Hope County, Montana and the valley in which the Seeds have built their community of ‘Project at Eden’s Gate’. The map is split into a total of 5 regions, Dutch’s Island, Joseph’s Island, John’s Region, Faith’s Region and Jacob’s Region. As you go around the valley doing story missions and side missions and overall building a resistance to the cult or ‘Peggies’ you will have to earn a total number of RP (resistance points) by completing tasks in order to beat the final boss before finally meeting Joseph at the end. These tasks will often consist of silly errands or saving people that members of the cult have captured for each resistance team in the separate regions (e.g the Whitetails). The game features many many features which lovers of popular sandbox games, like Skyrim, will adore; as you meet and interact with a vast amount of characters and allies throughout the story who become part of your team in fighting Eden’s Gate. The characters good and bad, all carry deep and interesting backstories that are revealed through side missions and playing the game in general and I can genuinely vouch that the characters are all incredibly different despite them all specialising in different military positions in your roster. Far Cry 5 offers the option to have a total of 9 ‘Guns/Fangs for Hire’ where you can chose up to two ‘sidekicks’ to keep you company, and safe on your travels through Hope County. Im particularly fond of the three animals Peaches the Cougar, Cheeseburger the Bear and Boomer the Dog. The game progresses as you defeat each region and ends classically with a choice in order to do two separate endings; as having recently completed the game, the choices both pose very different endings and as always one is far better than the other - the only way I can describe my genuine reaction is ‘ShOok’.

I’d have to go into excruciating detail in order to capture the true embodiment of the game, as to me personally, its multiple elements and small details Ubisoft have truly out done themselves; the combat, hunting element and vast options in regards to vehicles, weaponry, clothing and anything of the like means you can truly play the game how you want to play it, which of course is the point, however I found so profound and well put together I know I’m going to be replaying this game for many years to come as I have done with the 3rd instalment of the series and Red Dead Redemption alike. Dialogue and character reactions are tailored to the players actions in the game, and the way you act across the county will follow you and aid you as you progress. Like Far Cry games previous, there is always a element of ‘easter egg’ hunting and this is brought forward in many different ways but one notable way is the following and discovering of ‘Prepper Stashes’ in which characters have prepared for ‘The End’ that The Father has predicted and hidden ammo, guns, perk magazines and cash in large volumes which all require a bit of puzzle solving to retrieve. This mention brings me on to my next point which is the Perk System; in previous games (notably 3 & 4) your perks are combined with the earning of a tattoo as you develop skills and abilities to aid your combat, exploration and handling of different situations - the tattoo idea wasnt present in 5, which I was apprehensive about as I loved the idea but instead replaced with the collecting of ‘Perk Points’ with magazines found across the valley and completing challenges within the campaign. 

The game’s online and multiplayer section is very very advanced, with a map creator and much like that of GTA V, you can play online and complete outposts and coop etc with your friends or just online multiplayer; The Far Cry Arcade. I don’t have much to say about it aside from that its a generic multiplayer outlet but it still adds vast amounts of character to the game overall.

Conclusively, I have fallen head over heels for this game, its characters, its graphics, beautiful design, environment and artworks; obviously there has to be some negatives and my only problem would be the glitches and servers are a bit rubbish at times but thats to be expected of a game thats as brand new as this one. I’ve seen hundreds of reviews where they seem to, in my opinion, have missed the point of the game and its message - which I truly do believe it has one as the Cult preaches and challenges modern values in everyday society and some of the ideas they have proposed got me thinking. If you love the likes of Fallout, Skyrim and other sandbox games this is the game for you, and you can play the campaign coop with a friend! :)

9.5/10

(p.s if youre reading this, im new to the review thing and i wrote this for my friends as ive had many ask me about the game - pls b gentle)

Bloomberg vs.Trump – Big Spending… But Is It All Legal?

( CNN) Michael Bloomberg is investing extraordinary lots of his very own numerous billions of bucks on his late entry right into the Democratic governmental main. What’s he obtaining for all that coin? Just how much can he invest under the regulation? As well as is this, as some liberals declare, a billionaire getting an American political election?

I’ve asked CNN’s Fredreka Schouten, a specialist on this things, some inquiries:

Piles of cash

ZW: Can you offer us a feeling of just how much Bloomberg is investing compared to every person else in the Democratic primary? Exists any kind of criterion for something such as this in American background?

FS: Bloomberg is blowing every person else out of the water. American national politics has actually never ever seen anything fairly similar to this.

Since Friday early morning, the previous New York city mayor had actually raked virtually $386 million right into marketing alone, according to a tally by Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group. That’s TWICE the marketing costs of the various other billionaire in the race, Tom Steyer, that had actually invested simply north of $186 million.

As well as consider this: Bloomberg went into the race just a bit greater than 2 months earlier. We ain’t seen absolutely nothing yet.

No limitations to self-financing

ZW: How a lot can he invest? Exists anything in United States legislation that resolves self-financing?

FS: As high as he desires. Federal prospects do not deal with any kind of constraints on just how much of their very own cash they can invest to win– or shed– a political election.

Back in 2002, Congress tried to level the having fun area in between self-funded legislative prospects and also their opponents in this manner: Once a self-funded prospect’s costs went across an established limit ($ 350,000 for House prospects, as an example), payment limitations for all the various other competitors in the race would certainly be kicked back.

However the United States Supreme Court threw out that arrangement as unconstitutional in 2008. As well as the courthas stated abundant prospects have a First Amendment right to “unconfined speech.”

No control

ZW: Bloomberg has actually claimed he will certainly invest millions to beat Trump also if he sheds the key. What are the limitations on exactly how he can invest to aid the candidate if it isn’t him?

FS: There are no restrictions on just how much he can invest to aid one more prospect. The courts have actually ruled that independent gamers in national politics additionally have free-speech legal rights in political elections.

He would certainly, nonetheless, face limitations on collaborating his costs choices with the ultimate Democratic candidate.

Consider it in this manner: Bloomberg can not GIVE Amy Klobuchar’s project $1 million if she were the Democratic candidate neither story with her project concerning exactly how to invest $1 million, since that would certainly go beyond the $2,800 general-election payment limitation.

However he can SPEND $1 million on TELEVISION commercials, prompting individuals to choose her.

Producing a story

ZW: What will Bloomberg get with all that cash? Individuals do not simply choose the prospect with one of the most cash. They still need to be encouraged. What’s the disagreement that the cash amounts to an unjust benefit?

FS: Bloomberg’s unrelenting costs early in the race enables him to produce a narrative regarding himself while his competitors are hectic combating each other for the election.

For example, a Facebook buddy just recently composed in my feed that previous President Barack Obama had actually backed Bloomberg! That’s not real. Obama hasn’t supported any person in the key, not also his previous vice head of state, Joe Biden.

Yet Bloomberg and also his group shrewdly developed a 30-second advertisement proclaiming his partnership with the previous two-term head of state.

( It’s unclear the length of time Bloomberg will certainly continue to be in control of the story, as he has actually been compelled to challenge disputes over problems like his policing plans in New York.)

All the various other billionaires

ZW: There are lots of billionaires that wish to affect national politics. Sheldon Adelson, the Las Vegas online casino mogul, will certainly open his pockets to aid Trump. What’s the distinction in between exactly how he can invest in part of Trump as well as just how Bloomberg can invest in part of himself?

FS: If past is beginning, Adelson will certainly unload millions right into outdoors teams– incredibly PACs as well as political nonprofits– to aid the President. He goes through regulations that forbid working with choices on investing with Trump and also his project.

Federal government funding

ZW: I still obtain that concern on my income tax return concerning whether I intend to add to government funding for projects. Can Bloomberg or Trump or any type of Democrat still get that aid?

FS: The public-financing system gets on life assistance.

Prospects do not utilize it due to the fact that they have to abide by stringent costs limitations if they take public funds. As well as in an age of limitless political investing, no significant governmental prospect would certainly kneecap their very own project because style.

In the 2016 governmental race, just 2 prospects obtained public funds: previous Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, that looked for the Democratic election, and also Green Party prospect Jill Stein.

Sen. Joni Ernst, an Iowa Republican, has actually recommended getting rid of the fund and also making use of the greater than $350 million being in the account to decrease the government deficit spending.

Super PACs

ZW: In current years we have actually covered extremely PACs thoroughly. Will they still play a vital function in 2020?

A variety of governmental prospects, such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, have actually knocked incredibly PACs as well as claim they do not desire their assistance. However these teams likely will play a bigger function once the basic political election remains in full speed.

Biden, for example, disavowed very PACs at the beginning of the political election cycle, just to unlock to one such team as his project had a hard time to acquire grip.

However now, as a result of the outsized costs by the billionaires in Democratic area, prospect costs is overloading the cash invested by outdoors teams as well as extremely PACs.

Company money

ZW: Warren as well as Bernie Sanders have actually made a large program of not taking cash from specific business benefactors. Does this mean they will not approve aid beating Trump in November if either of them wins the key?

We’ll need to see just how this plays out. Both prospects have actually been rather solid concerning avoiding business cash in their projects; it’s constructed right into their brand names.

Yet make indisputable: The Democrats’ ultimate candidate will certainly not harm for cash money. Autonomous benefactors are discharged up. In 2015, small-dollar benefactors provided $1 billion to Democratic prospects as well as liberal reasons with the online system ActBlue. The floodgates will certainly open up for the candidate.

Profits price: Billions

ZW: How a lot, at the end of the day, is this governmental project mosting likely to set you back?

FS: More than ever in the past. However it’s difficult to select a precise number.

The 2016 race price concerning $2.4 billion, according to an evaluation by the detached Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political investing. (That was really a dip from the previous political election, in 2012; Trump’s investing in 2016 was reasonably small.)

There will certainly be absolutely nothing small concerning the 2020 race. Trump as well as his allies are elevating big amounts for his reelection. And also Bloomberg has actually not dismissed investing $1 billion to beat Trump, also if the previous New York mayor falls short to win the Democratic election.

Cash leaders

ZW: Excluding Bloomberg, does Trump presently have a fundraising benefit over Democrats or the other way around?

FS: Trump is increasing a great deal of cash and also is running in advance of the majority of Democrats due to the fact that he obtained a very early beginning. He declared reelection the day he was vouched right into workplace in January 2017.

Today, Trump’s project revealed that he had actually increased collectively with the Republican National Committee greater than $525 million because the beginning of 2019. The teams had greater than $200 million in offered money, heading right into the basic political election. As well as they’re simply getting going. Trump as well as the RNC are holding a charity event in Florida near Mar-a-Lago that will certainly set you back benefactors $580,600 per pair.

Besides the billionaires, no person in the Democratic area has that type of cash accumulating in their battle breasts.

Not a system, a jumble

ZW: If every American could understand one point concerning project financing regulation, what should it be?

FS: It’s ALRIGHT to be puzzled by it because today the system is a jumble quilt of legislations and also court judgments.

There is a tutorial island

Thank you for replying! Also, love the movies you have so much, it's always enjoyable for me to watch osrs players providing rs3 a fair try. Your points are fairly solid, idk if I would start players on legacy per se, but personally I feel legacy as a whole needs to be eliminated, it merely adds yet another layer of confusion to RuneScape, and  OSRS gold was just introduced to facilitate the pain of skills, before revolution turned into something. It doesnt serve much purpose but that's just me. I am eagar to see how your view and understanding shifts as RuneScape progresses, but youre definitely right on one point. RuneScape's intro needs work.

There is a tutorial island, and it does teach you about the toolbelt, and how to utilize it. The matter is, you do not go to tutorial island if you don't select"returning player" when making a brand new account. It should be the default option no matter what, quickly getting players throughout the fundamentals, then burthorpe acting as a tutorial+ for people who want it, since it does cover a good deal like Slayer, crafting, fletching, etc.Only addition I will place here is please don't advocate the elimination of legacy. We know it is not the most popular but there is a dedicated group of gamers who only use heritage (see the legacy only worlds). Even though a small group of gamers I'd quote in a 24 hour interval around 500-900 players within that category.

What we can take from this is that Jagex literally needs to replace both tutorial island and burthrope tutorial with a genuine tutorial/controlled game environment that's better than both. Rehashing burthrope tutorial is something we have seen Jagex perform on occasion but they have to realize low level gameplay generally is an untended mess. Tossing a entirely new player into a sandbox and hoping that they don't encounter content that is too old or questionably imbalanced is by contemporary game criteria, an extremely mediocre thing to do. I do not say this because individuals ought to vigorously defend this is the way RuneScape is, however because people who come from a different match, typically another mmo, will have higher standards for the way their initial 10 hours of game performs.

I'd vouch that base 1-30 battle stats should happen in a completely contained environment like tutorial island but on a suitably larger scale with an adventure narrative, a restricted number of abilities, and balanced experience prices. The woodland enclosure that the player first starts at with the survival expert where you learn to fish, make a fire and cook, is a fantastic formula with a fantastic tone. We could build on this. On this island you make your own way up the levels to progress the narrative, with numerous skill experts/tutors scattered across that may be consulted at any time as needs be. The narrative requires specified stats to progress. It's possible to leave the island at any moment through confirmation dialog if you completed, or if you're a veteran seeking fast amounts.

By being in a contained environment, various things could be done that burthrope and southern RuneScape cannot. To be completely clear, this can be carried out everywhere, so long as it's contained. A instanced and reworked forest someplace in lumbridge can get the job done as well. Establishing a proper sandbox environment for new gamers to  buy OSRS gold shore in with controlled factors is something RuneScape requirements, being that this is a game with 20 years of content.

Find out some brand-new card methods as well as wow your pals. You need to attract your target market in your show by your acting personality, however should wow them with a well developed show that will certainly supply great magic. Company employers might quite possibly be in search of individuals who acquire my training necessary to satisfy that requirements. You will want the thread hold to really feel tight when you extend your arm in front of you, yet enough time to enable the card to hang regarding a foot below your hand. You, as company also have the workmans payment insurance policy premium. Have you discovered that illusionists usually put on black garments when doing their techniques? This helps the black string to mix with their attire as well as prevent being seen. It assists manage an impression like drifting cards. Cards hovered, as well as a box of sweet ended up being a rabbit. From the floating cards technique to the classic "select a card," there are a lot of options.

This is a cool magic trick that any individual can learn. You can incorporate this with the classic "climbing card" technique for much more fun. We vouch this is among one of the most fun magic card tricks. Magic methods with cards are enjoyable abilities for newbies. In this area, we will certainly walk you via some easy magic tricks that you can do with a deck of cards. Obtaining her interested for certain does not function when you show her the most recent, state of the art, 3D games where you can walk simply like in the real world. Next off, let the audience participant choose a card as well as do not let them reveal it to you. Have the audience participant cut half of the deck and also location it down. Currently, put the deck of cards back in the pile, maintaining the ace of spades on the bottom. Finally, scan the cards up until you reach the ace of spades. Area the ace of spades on the base of the deck and afterwards extend the cards.

The ace of spades need to now be in the middle of the deck (this is exactly how you track their card). Allow them to place their card on top of the deck. Then, area half of the deck of cards on top of the various other fifty percent. Put your own concerns in order to leisure making use of the understanding you have actually generated your personal ways to deal with the problem linked with persistent anxiety. Have a spectator pick a card and after that reinsert it into the deck (get it with the instructions provided over). The goal is to make it appear as if you are resisting gravity as the spectator's card increases above the deck. To make the playing card appear to rise, relocate your hand away from your body. All you require to pull this off is a deck of playing cards and also a little of perseverance. Attach a little thread to the facility of the having fun card using clear adhesive tape.

Play around a little bit with the size. It is necessary to obtain the size of the string right as well as the movement that triggers the card to increase. I utilized 1.5 liter sprite containers and it took about three and a fifty percent hours to obtain it to the appropriate temperature level for this method. With demonstrators like Aubameyang as well as Alexandre Lacazette around, Unai Emery understands he has the gamers to stick the round away and also currently with the introduction of Ceballos, they could get back at more opportunities to do so. I was increased Jewish but located myself attracted to belief systems that felt much more personalized and mystical which fully honored the feminine. Sorry to dissapoint anybody who thinks there may be something more to it. She's a newly solitary mom, lately divorced, who is not simply lonely and sad yet also furious and mad. If anyone suspects the glass becomes part of the method, after that it might destroy it, so beware. The trick is less complex than you could believe.

Santorini Review

Santorini is an incredible abstract strategy game. Yes, it rehashes the old truism ‘easy to learn, hard to master’ as its tagline, and its artstyle is rife with chibi-style Greco-Roman mythical figures, but trust me, every part of this syncretic approach works. Abstracts have a habit of punching well above their weight, and this one will twist your brain in knots. On a 5x5 grid, players take turns moving figures and placing buildings, step by step, the iconic ivory-and-azur builds of the island Santorini. It is a skillful game with a rich, cutesy presentation. 

The core ruleset is wicked simple, but also stays true to abstraction as a genre by offering a robust challenge. Santorini’s masterstroke is to offer an additional layer that gives each player a unique power which breaks the normal scheme of things. Gaia has extra pieces for example, and Artemis can move twice. The game is satisfying even in its powerless, vanilla form, so mixing in these variations makes for a truly infinite challenge. In this, it reminds me of Cosmic Encounter as much as Chess. Both are helter-skelter in its variety, regimental in core procedure. Each turn a piece must move (either adjacently or orthogonally) and then build nearby. A piece can move at most one step up but can ‘jump’ any steps down. The game ends when one player advances their piece to the third level from a lower level. It can also, more rarely, end because the other player cannot make a legal move with either of their pieces. That’s the gist of it, barring certain edge-cases and power interactions.

I had forgotten how rusty I’d become and upon firing up the app for the first time I proceeded to lose to the temptingly-named ‘novice’ AI. A few times. This game has teeth, folks, and its bots will trounce the unwary. Re-learning good play was like revisiting Chess, or perhaps Cinco Paus. Certain patterns and rules of thumb emerge. The center is vitally important, one generally seeks the upper ground to gain the upper hand, and initial placements are almost never around the periphery of the board. It’s difficult to generalize beyond this, but after just a few thoughtful short play sessions, Santorini creates something like a flow state: pure challenge, effortless concentration. Can’t say I’m a grandmaster or that these bouts of time spent were filled with earth-shattering insights, but I can vouch that the flow means it’s an inviting game to lose yourself in.

It’s also an inviting game to learn. The system and rules are so simple as to appear plain, indeed many people bounce off abstracts because they seem ‘dull’, but Santorini has plenty of spirit and style. It’s a good game for kids to pick up, because it has a low barrier to entry and some whimsy to its presentation. Said whimsy belies an absolutely ironclad, zero-variance mental slugfest. ‘For kids’ means the highest praise, cool enough to attract fickle attention but clever enough to hold up over ages. There’s a metagame and deeper level of nuance behind power matchups, but the standard ruleset is extremely refined and punishing. The game has opted for a series of short videos to illustrate bite-sized examples of the game. There’s a mother-lode one for how to play, and a bunch of spin-offs which each explain a specific character’s power. The game also has really clean-cut iconography, with suggestive visual icons for a power above the ruletext and an eminently readable board. The color saturation and architecturally distinct levels make parsing the field at a glance a breeze. So, yeah, it’s polished.

It also has a decent online multiplayer, though here some features are lacking. You find matches either through random pair-ups, or by invitation only with a code. There is an ELO-based ranking system but no official ranked mode. Last but not least, all online multiplayer uses a 45 second turn timer. Usually that’s enough to speed things along without undue pressure, but one would hope that exceptions for particularly vexing turns were possible. 

The single player ‘Odyssey’ mode is very fun, structured as a series of God-specific challenges with optional trophies to unlock. Your playstyle and strategic headspace probably has favorite gods and least favorite foes, so if nothing else, Odyssey is a nice way to sample the field. It’s kinda like Splendor’s challenge mode, creating artificial constraints the player has to solve creatively. The game isn’t drowning in content but it is dripping with replayability. Do note that more than a few of the gods are premium DLC, and that their respective parts of ‘Odyssey’ are also locked.

Here at Pocket Tactics, we’re deeply fond of our board game adaptations. Usually they’re a long time coming, and when they arrive they breathe new life into an older, august title. Well, even among these, Santorini is special. For one, its history stretches back a little further than most. It had pretty much become an obscure collector’s item, praised but unknown, from its 2004 self-published version until its 2016 Kickstarter gave it a new art style and high production values, along with widespread, cost-efficient distribution. The game has always been very good, only lately to have been given the just distinction of becoming well-known. It’s even better than most other adaptations, partially because the game is simple, so plenty of attention has been given to bells-and-whistles. There are sophisticated animations, unique effects for each god power, and a full-throated soundtrack. 

Santorini is a picturesque dream of an island, and the game with its namesake is as good as it gets. It marries perfectly two distinct brands of appeal, the wildly imaginative to the coldly analytical.
