🫖 Welcome back to the Asylum write-up. This is where you live now. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
In this installment, we finally take a closer look at how Emilie Autumn's hyper-loyal fanbase gradually started losing faith in her as, among other things, it became more and more apparent that she... wasn't exactly a reliable narrator – in her semi-autobiographical book, or in general.

HOW IT STARTED: A WOMAN OF MYSTERY

Willow, weep for me Don't think I don't see This life I'm living in two But still it's something I must do I'm not unique in this Nor am I special, sweet, or kind I court a thousand smiles Yet I keep my own to hide behind (“Willow”, 2004 🎵)

I've previously referred to EA as an “expert vagueposter”, and this is relevant here.
For an artist who built her brand on a pledge of raw, rats-and-all honesty, EA has always been quite guarded about the specifics of her personal life. (Until her current partner, for instance, she always danced around calling anyone a boyfriend, even when the nature of the relationship was pretty obvious.) Her whole angle is telling “the truth”, but through whimsical fantasy. As early as the fairy-themed Enchant era, she had her own world, her own vernacular; she spoke in metaphors, in-jokes, and quirky anachronisms. Taxis were carriages, her electric keyboard was a harpsichord, she always capitalized Time and Art like Shakespeare does. On the Asylum forum, automatic word filters would change “fan” to “muffin”, “fairy” to “faerie”, “bra” to “teacup holder”, and “responsibility” to “ratsponsibility”.
She's a chatterbox who loves to share memories and funny anecdotes, but she usually keeps them short and sweet, Snapple-facts style. 📝 She's great at painting by touches in her storytelling, revealing just enough to let your imagination auto-complete the rest. 🔍 Even the most banal tidbits are very artfully told, very “on brand”, often dense with symbolism and foreshadowing – but also very abstracted.
She is especially elusive when it comes to her background and formative years. See the way she catches herself in this interview 📺📝 while describing her “favorite scar”, which is from an eel bite: “My – well, someone I knew... [gasp-laugh] had it as a pet, and...” (She was about to say “my sister”.)
In short, the way EA talks about her life is often very personal, but not all that candid – and sounds more like it's meant to provide a curated, coherent backstory for Emilie Autumn the character, rather than Emilie Autumn the person.

I'll tell the truth, all my songs Are pretty much the fucking same I'm not a fairy but I need More than this life, so I became This creature representing more to you Than just another girl... (“Swallow”, 2006 🎵)

In the beginning, this guardedness naturally contributed to the mystique. It made it all the more special when, once in a while, she would briefly drop the theatrics to share something earnest and relatively unfiltered. Like this composed, but vulnerable post from 2004 📝 about her father losing his battle to cancer, and her attempts at closure over their tense relationship. Or this 2012 anti-bullying campaign thing 📺 in which she opens up about being a target of intense physical bullying in elementary school, to a point that contributed to her being homeschooled at 9.
Fans in the early years were curious about her backstory, of course – but not too prodding or invasive, to my knowledge. I think there was an understanding that EA, like many performers, wanted to come across as human and approachable, while still cultivating an “aura” and retaining some privacy. But obviously, when she announced that she was writing a Tell-All Memoir in 2007, everyone was dying to read it. TEA TIME!

HOW IT'S GOING: A WOMAN OF... MALARKEY???

LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! (“Liar”, 2006 🎵)

As we've learned, the original 2009 release of EA's book was highly anticipated, but somewhat tainted by a bunch of shipping delays and unfulfilled promises. From the start of her career, EA had always cultivated a close parasocial involvement with her audience; many fans had as deep an attachment to her, personally, as they did to her art. So, for instance, when EA tweeted about all the personal dedications she was lovingly writing in overdue books, only for the books to arrive many months later and unsigned with no tangible explanation, it wasn't simply frustrating: it was betrayal amongst kin!
Really, it wasn't so much about fans not getting what they paid for – it was about the lack of clear communication or genuine accountability. This is pure speculation on my part, but the poppycock that EA tweeted about signing the books strikes me as the panic-lie of someone who hadn't realized just how many heartfelt, personalized dedications she would actually have to write when she came home from tour. And then she just couldn't do it, because she was overworked, paralyzed, distracted, depressed, procrastinating, whatever. Which... you know... is unfortunate, but probably not unforgivable. Especially for a touring performer who is open and vocal about their mental health issues.
I'm confident that most fans would have been happy to tell her that her well-being meant more to them than an autograph, or something along those lines. Instead, EA's cagey and avoidant demeanor around this issue left fans very salty – and newly suspicious of their favorite artist's word.
Which was regrettable timing for EA, because they had just received their copies of her memoir.
Here's a cursory look at some key biographical points that didn't hold up to scrutiny when more and more vexed fans, over the years, started looking into them.
Content warning until end of post: family estrangement, death by fire, worsening physical health issues, mention of disordered eating / weight loss / thinspiration, and LIES! LIES! LIIIIIES!

“EMILIE AUTUMN LIDDELL (BORN SEPTEMBER 22, 1979) IS AN AMERICAN SINGER-SONGWRITER...” (Wikipedia)

Every fandom has its Holy Grail. Because a number of EA's early releases were limited pressings put out through now-defunct record labels, the EA fandom in its heyday was a collector's wonderland. 📝🦠 At the height of her popularity, the original Enchant jewelcase (the one with the puzzle-poster) could easily fetch around $500 dollars on eBay, unsigned. The handwritten lyrics of an Opheliac B-side went for $940 in 2009. Don't even ask me about the hard copies of her two poetry books: those never even popped up over the five or six years that I had various alerts set up for all EA-related listings.
But the true crown jewel of EA rarities is the untitled promo version of her (also virtually unfindable) 2001 instrumental debut On a Day... No one knows how many copies exist. The darn thing is so rare that it's not even listed on Discogs. For a while, the only picture of the elusive “Violin” promo CD that was circulated online was this one.🪞 Go ahead, click the link. Notice anything odd? That black box where one composer's birth year should be?
I'm not sure why the notorious hyper-fan who originally shared this picture on the forum in the early 2010s took it upon himself to censor it before posting. I wasn't able to pinpoint when or why people started questioning EA's age, but clearly, something had already transpired to let him know that not redacting said birth year might, uh... cause an upset. In any case: at some point, people started digging – and eventually, the unredacted version of the “Violin” tracklist (as well as public records and literal receipts from eBay auctions) would be brandished as one more piece of damning evidence that EA was indeed (gasp!) two years older than she claimed to be.
“Okay, and?” you shrug. “What's the big deal?” I'm shrugging too! What can I say? People don't like realizing they've been fooled, even about something stupid. I will note that EA's fall equinox birthday (hence her middle name “Autumn”, yes) had been somewhat significant in the fandom. Over the years, EA's birthdays had been marked by online release parties, Q&A's, community events, special merch sales... A number of fans liked donning her trademark cheek heart on September 22. It felt a bit uncanny to realize that she had been announcing a false age on those occasions. It wasn't “a big deal” so much as it was incredibly odd.
Other than being appalled that Self-Proclaimed Staunch Feminist EA would give in to the cult of youth and not cop up to her real age, many fans were just plain bewildered: who would commit so stubbornly to such an inconsequential lie? What was even the point of lying by two years only? Why did she think anyone would care that she was 28 rather than 26 when Opheliac came out? What was she possibly getting out of this...??
My completely speculative theory is that, whether it was her idea or her then-manager's, the lie originated as a marketing strategy early on in her career. The “Violin” demo was recorded in 1997, when EA was 19-going-on-20. Per the liner notes of On a Day... 📝, which came out when she was 22, the demo's purpose was to be “a sort of calling card in the classical music industry”. Evidently, that didn't work out; EA claims, in the same paragraph, to have walked out on a classical recording deal at 18 because they wouldn't give her enough creative control.
Talented and unique as she was, she was trying to break out in a notoriously elitist and innovation-resistant milieu – and unlike her, most of the 22-year-old classical violinists she was in competition with had actually graduated from their prestigious music schools. But you know what sells better than an ambitious college dropout in her early twenties? Tweaking the truth just so to market yourself as an unconventional wunderkind, barely out of her teens! Any rendition of a complex, learnèd musical piece sounds more intriguing and impressive if you think it was played by an especially young (and beautiful) person. 20 was plausible, close enough to her real age, barely a lie at all, and such a nice, round number for a debut album.
Notice how much of the On a Day... liner notes, linked above, center on her precociousness, her uniqueness, and her savant-like dedication to her craft – a focus that seems absent from the promo version (from what I can decipher in those potato-quality pictures, anyway). These talking points would provide the basis for a lot of her early self-promotion and budding stage persona in the Enchant years. Even though the EP failed to make EA a household name in the classical world, the wunderkind narrative was her “in” to grab the attention and heart of a broader audience.
And I guess she's been running with it ever since.

“MY ANCESTRY IS POSITIVELY LITTERED WITH LUNATICS AND GIRLS WHO FALL DOWN RABBIT HOLES ... MY NAME IS EMILIE AUTUMN LIDDELL. YES, THAT LIDDELL.”

Oh, come on. Much as a fan may want to believe, isn't that a little on the nose? The anglophile with an obsession for tea, clocks, and madness... is literally related to Alice in Wonderland? 🔍 Curiouser and curiouser indeed.
EA came out as Emilie Autumn Liddell in The Book – of course – in a passage where she describes an interaction with a nurse. 📝 Note how she stresses the authenticity of her name, and how not-chosen it is (and the Alice connection, which just comes up organically) by disclosing it in a scene where she's filling out paperwork.
I'm pointing this out, because it would be tempting to allow room for creative license (and the slightest cringe) in a work of creative fiction based on personal experience. Buuut... TAFWG was not marketed as fiction. The main narrative in TAFWG, according to EA, is an actual fac-simile of the journals she kept during a harrowing stay at a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt. This is something that EA has stressed from the inception of the book (and throughout all subsequents re-issues, even as the main narrative was altered and reworked), even claiming that a legal team had advised her to redact some names to avoid potential lawsuits. So, no, she's not doing a bit there.
When, after it made the rounds a few times, it became apparent that the claim didn't really make sense 📝🔍, reactions were mixed. Some older, diplomatic fans downplayed it as a somewhat embarrassing, but harmless self-mythologizing – similar in nature to her insistence on calling her electric keyboard a “harpsichord”. Devout EA apologists (commonly referred to as “bootlickers” in an increasingly polarized fandom – oh, don't worry, we're getting to that!) invoked the “life as performance art” defense: when she said it was literally her first name, she meant it metaphorically, duh! And either way, she probably had her reasons.
But others took offense at the boldness of the lie, or simply became curious. Was Liddell even her name at all?
If you've checked the link just above, you already know the answer. Per the public California birth log (a somewhat demented invasion of privacy that could well have been avoided by... not repeatedly drawing attention to a name that someone in the book calls “right out of a movie”?) : yes, no, kind of.
EA was born Emily Autumn Fischkopf* on September 22, 1977. The name came from her father, a first-generation immigrant from Germany. Her maternal grandmother's maiden name was Liddell (but no, not that Liddell, or so remotely that it doesn't matter). EA may have had it legally changed at some point in the last decade, but as of 2012, based on the public log of foreign visitors to Brazil (where she toured that year), her passport still bore the name “Emily Autumn Fischkopf”.
*No, EA's birth name is not literally “Fischkopf”. It's a non-silly German name that begins with an F. I know that it's ridiculous to clutch my pearls about EA's peace of mind now, but triggering new and disquieting Google alerts for a name she clearly wants nothing to do with (and that you don't care about) just feels... distasteful? I don't know. That info has been floating around long enough, the point has been made; this write-up is not about EA's last name, but about the fiends we made along the way! So Fischkopf it is.
Let's track the evolution here! It appears that she went by “Autumn Fischkopf” for at least part of her formative years, if we are to believe the credits from Mark Ruffalo's middling film debut 📺 (she was the child actor's violin-playing body double) and this random article about a Nigel Kennedy performance in 1997. 🔍 (That last link – possibly her first ever mention in the press? – is a niche favorite of mine. Violin superstar Nigel Kennedy calls her a “talented fiddler”, which suggests that she did have some cred and promise in the classical milieu at a young age, and that there is at least some truth to her claims of being a wunderkind. It also cracks me up that, out of all the things she's reiterated over the years, “I was born in '79” was a lie, but “I was attacked by a pet eel” was fact-checked by Nigel Kennedy.)
At some point in her late teens, she dropped the Teutonic surname and adopted the French ending of her given name (she made it a “LIE”! how poetic) to form the moniker “Emilie Autumn”. I assume that's also when she started privately going by Emilie / EA for short.
So there you have it. The damning evidence. A performing artist... changed her name. To her grandmother's name. Riveting stuff!
And to think that her fans could have carried on naively believing “Autumn” was her last name, or assuming it was a romantic nom de scène she picked during her Ren Fair phase. Or perhaps, even, not thinking much about her name at all, like normal people.
But nooo, she just had to poke the hornet's nest by making a whole thing out of it.

“MY ENTIRE FAMILY DIED IN A FIRE.”

If you've never encountered a method-acting con artist or a person who struggles with pathological lying (I'll let you decide for yourself which of these, if either, applies to EA), you probably believe that you'd spot them a mile away. And in my experience, that's exactly why you wouldn't! Whether it's compulsion or calculated strategy, successful fibbers rely on people's natural social cues (like their assumption of good faith, their confirmation bias, their empathy, their desire for validation, their fear of awkwardness, ...) to subtly direct the flow and tone of the conversation. This allows them to short-circuit potential questioning of their claims.
One such strategy, for instance, I call the “I-will-not-further-speak-about-the-incident maneuver”. Out of the blue, you drop a graphic and incisive one-liner about something horrific that happened to you, in a curt or flippant tone that throws the listener off and usually shuts them up – thus sparing you from having to back up your claim with any convincing specifics. I'm not saying that every person who does this is a liar. Horrific stuff does happen to people, and I'm not here to police how they're supposed to disclose it. I'm just saying that if you wanted to fabricate an obvious Tragic Backstory™ and smuggle it past otherwise rational, discerning and reasonably intelligent people, that would be one way to do it. Full disclosure: it does work better in person than it does over the internet, especially when you've kept a blog.
When EA curtly dropped this bomb on Twitter (in response to an innocuous fan question that mentioned her parents – the receipt has sadly been X'd out of existence), and every subsequent time a new fan found out about her family's tragic demise (“I had no idea!”), the response was typically one of shock and sadness – and, in a few heartbreaking cases, commiseration from other survivors of family-annihilating events.
Many fans already had a hunch that something was up with her family, of course. She hinted at neglect and possible abuse in her book and lyrics. A number of her fans also came from dysfunctional households, so her not wishing to elaborate on the topic would probably have been a non-issue. But now she's saying they're dead? All of them? In a FIRE?! Holy macaroni! And you know it must have been awful, because EA – the same woman who got a dozen bangers out of a three-month-long toxic relationship, and based over a decade of her work on one bad hospital stay – had never, not once, felt called to share a song or poem about how it might affect a person to... lose all of their entire immediate family to a fire. Hmm. Meanwhile, the handful of older fans who had been following her since Enchant and remembered her dad passing in 2004 gritted their teeth and rolled their eyes. “Do your research. That's all I can say.” (We'll get into the culture of censorship free speech regulation on the Asylum forum in due time.)
Before more and more embittered ex-fans started compiling and circulating the receipts in the early-mid-2010s, investigating the whole “dead family” thing was a lonely journey – a coming-of-age expedition for the critical-minded Plague Rat, trawling through free background check websites and old Wayback Machine archives, until you went “Welp, there it is, I guess” and suddenly felt older, stupider, and a little bit hollow inside.
Although I don't remember how I personally made my way to The Truth (lol) back in the day, I still have a vivid memory of the moment I found the Facebook profile of EA's Very Much Non-Deceased Mother. It was mostly posts about her costume design work. A few candid pictures with EA's siblings and their kids. Christmas, birthdays, a wedding. Just... aggressively normal stuff. It was bizarre, looking in on this family of cheerful strangers with familiar cheekbones. Knowing that, somewhere out there, was an estranged eldest daughter, who had run off years ago to become a fiddle-wielding rockstar – and was now passing them off as having all died a gruesome death, while her fans secretly stalked their family photos. (Because I know you'll be asking in the comments: yes, EA's family is aware. Her mother once posted a picture of young EA and her siblings on Pinterest, sarcastically captioned “After most of us were killed in the fire.” 📝)
Again, it's tempting to discount EA's remark as a metaphor for family estrangement, taken too literally by neurodivergent minors who just didn't understand performance art. Well. First of all, even as a metaphor... let's admit, once again, that that 2000s edginess has aged like fine milk. It's a little crass to make a “metaphor” out of a plausible, life-shattering trauma that other people actually have to live with. (Veronica lost a beloved house to a literal fire 🔍 during her tenure as a Crumpet, for instance; no one died, but that alone seemed pretty rough.)
But, more to the point, evidence suggests that EA also told this to real people in her real, off-stage life – such as her Trisol manager, who backed the claim on the official Asylum Forum in 2007. 📝 When questioned about this post on a renegade forum in 2013, he had this to say:

I was the fool in this case. EA made that up of course. It’s just one thing on a long list of things she made up. Let’s agree she’s very creative with facts if she wants people to believe a story. (...) I once had a short chat with [EA's mom] and I got the strong impression she wasn’t dead at the time. Haha.

(OK, dude, but did you or did you not sell fake EA tickets on a scammy website in 2008? Because we never did get the skinny on that.)
Fifteens years on, EA continues to insist, unprompted, that “the fire” destroyed her childhood drawings and baby pictures. 📝 This more recent Instagram post is like a Greatest Hits of her most notorious yarns, to a degree that's either premeditated trolling or a subconscious call for help. She casually, yet pointedly mentions her age in relation to a specific year... and specifically draws attention to the signature, one that she used well into the Enchant era. In doing so, she made me notice, for the first time, that the A blends into an F. As one could expect from an artsy, Renaissance-obsessed teenager, her OG signature was a freaking monogram for Emily Autumn Fischkopf. It's like “The Tell-Tale Heart” for the digital age! AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING THIS?? 🦠

A BIT O' THIS & THAT: MISCELLANEOUS CLAIMS

Just for fun, here are other sundry “citation needed” facts that EA has claimed over the years. All are originally from the book unless sourced otherwise. Some of them may have been jokes, some of them might even be true! Whatever that word still means!

• She suffered near-fatal leukemia at age 2, but miraculously recovered. Doctors were baffled.
• She has perfect pitch and tone-color synesthesia. 🔍
• She also had a photographic memory before Ativan ruined it. That's how she remembers what the sky looked like on the day she came out of the hospital leukemia-free.
• It is well-known and well-established, among the bipolar community, that bipolar people all over the world will regularly and inexplicably wake up at 4 in the morning. 🎵 On the dot. No one knows why, but they do. Doctors are baffled.
• She can play the violin on horseback!
• The traumatic hospital stay happened before Opheliac until it happened after. 🔍 Doctors are time lords.
• TAFWVG “has been cited in text-books used as part of the psychology curriculum at Oxford University in London.” 📝 I would have intuited Oxford University to be in Oxford, but then again, I didn't go to Oxford.

ELECTRIC VIOLIN: UNPLUGGED

You know how whenever a musician starts behaving obnoxiously, old sages will come down from Mount Wisdom to advise disgruntled fans to “simply ignore [behavior]” and “just focus on the music”? Well, in the Asylum, “just focusing on the music” won't always preserve you from EA's shenanigans. This “claim” is a little different, but I've decided to include it because it is so odd, emblematic, and ultimately tragic. I also count it as “biographical”, because it involves a key tenet of EA's character sheet: the violin.
Being a kickass fiddler is one of EA's trademarks, and has always been central to her narrative; as of 2024, “world-class violinist” is still the first claim to fame she lists in the “Story” section of her official website. Which beggars the question: why won't she play it? And why won't she acknowledge that she's not playing it?
We got our hopes up in 2020, with that one post 📝 about her iconic 1885 Gand & Bernardel getting refurbished by a luthier – a thoughtful birthday surprise from her boyfriend – but despite the promising “More to come...” at the end of the caption, that turned out to be a false alarm. In truth, it may well have been over a decade since anyone has witnessed EA draw a single note from her cherished instrument.
The fact that Lord Autumn was able to sneak it out during lockdown without the Lady noticing tends to confirm that she hadn't been playing much behind the scenes. She seems to be under the impression that e-violin manufacturer Zeta is no longer in business (they did close down in 2010 🔍, but reopened under new management in 2012), which suggests that she hasn't been keeping up with the violin scene for a while. Besides, the fingernails don't lie. 🐀
As the live shows veered more theatrical with the release of Opheliac, the extended violin features from the Enchant era were cut to two main appearances per concert: “Face the Wall”, a seven-minute-short, Hendrixesque take on Arcangelo Corelli's “La Folia” – and “Unlaced”, an arpeggio-ed frenzy that was originally paired with a stilt-walking and ballet performance by the Crumpets. These two instrumental tracks remained a fixture on four successive tours. And on four successive tours, “Unlaced” was... well... clearly dubbed. 📺 She was holding her e-violin, her hands were playing the notes, but what was coming out of the speakers was indubitably the studio version.
There were possible explanations, of course. Some sound buffs pointed out that “Unlaced” has multiple violin layers, and that a live violin solo would have sounded harsh and unbalanced over the supporting tracks 🔍 – but then, why pick an unplayable song as a staple of the show?
The violin-miming wasn't even very hush-hush, she didn't try that hard to hide it – it was just never addressed or acknowledged. On “Unlaced”, Veronica was usually summoned to “play” the keyboard – and we knew that was make-believe, they had a whole skit about it. 📺 Ditto when EA would play the intro to a song, then get up from the keyboard as she started singing, and the harpsichord track just kept going. It was part of the theatrics, the suspension of disbelief; live playing just wasn't the focus.
Still, because playing two songs should have been in her wheelhouse, EA's choice to stand on stage and mime along with her own world-class violin skills was puzzling. We knew EA was capable of playing “Unlaced”: “Face the Wall” was proof enough that she could still shred like nobody's business, and some lucky fans got to hear her nerd out about pitch standards and rock some Bach at VIP showcases in 2011 (though it was always the same piece, and reportedly not always on point: “she made beginner mistakes, like weird jaw, wrist, elbow placement and tension...” 🐀). And sure, “Face the Wall” was an intense piece, but... it was one of two in the show. The same two, always. She was supposed to be classically trained...!
As EA's fabrications became more common knowledge among the fanbase, people took increasing issue with this odd staging choice – particularly after “Face the Wall” was retired partway through the 2011 tour, leaving only the pantomime, with nothing else happening on stage to distract from it. 📺 People started fixating on her constant and inexplicable tweaking of the truth. Fake name, fake age, fake promises, and now she was fake-fiddling and making a grand show of it? Was she outright mocking her audience, daring them to call her out? Milking a skill she had grown bored with, in the lowest-effort way possible, knowing that goo-goo-eyed fans would still pay to see it? Playing them the world's saddest song on the world's quietest e-violin?
The release of new album Fight Like a Girl in 2012 did little to soothe the Plague Rats' fiddle blues. The violin was much less prominent on FLAG than it had been on Opheliac and Enchant. There were almost no solos, which provided fewer opportunities for playing or miming on stage. “Unlaced” was retired from the touring setlist. One night in Texas during the 2012 tour, due to being on vocal rest, EA played the melody line of “Liar” on the violin. 📺 And that was pretty much the last time world-class violinist Emilie Autumn was heard playing her instrument, on stage or in recording – to the dismay of many fans who had loved her for it.

Can someone please grab this woman by her hand, lead her across her livingroom/bedroom/study, and point at that lonely forgotten dusty violin in a corner of hers so she remembers that she actually owns it? (🐀)

It was yet another bizarre, glaring inconsistency in EA's narrative that fans seemed expected to ignore. Another elephant in the padded room. (Personal anecdote that I don't have a receipt for: in early 2012, when I asked if there was a possibility of EA playing another baroque set for the VIP events on the upcoming tour, her then-manager responded that that wouldn't be possible because venues didn't have the proper acoustics.)
Through some her posts over the years , attentive fans pieced together the likely truth of EA's effective retirement as a violinist. It's actually quite sad, and may cast a different light on EA's artistic shift.
The 2011 tour was initially scheduled for late 2010. It was postponed because EA had been neglecting a jaw injury for years, and needed emergency surgery to avoid “serious and irreversible damage” to her one violin-holding jaw. 📝 She had the surgery early in September; in late November, she performed all over Latin America for six nights straight, and by January, she was back on tour. The same tour during which she made “beginner's mistakes” on the Bach partita, and retired “Face the Wall” for good after a few shows.
She underwent jaw surgery again in 2018, after three years of orthodontic treatment which she said had “prevented [her] from performing”. It was the first anyone was hearing of this (she said she hadn't been touring because she was writing the musical!), and it's as far as EA ever got in terms of half-addressing the obvious: that after dedicating a third of her time on Earth to her craft, after years of pushing through the pain night after night, rushing through recovery periods, and making compromises so the show could go on... she may not be physically able to play concert-level violin anymore.
Once again, something that should (and would) have elicited empathy and support from most fans turned into a point of frustration, speculation and mockery, for years – because EA continued to favor pretend-play and fantasy over the sobering, unglamorous truth. Well, at least everyone's unhappy.

This article delves into commercial video production in Orange County & how it is a critical marketing tool!
In the digital age, commercial video production in Orange County stands as a pivotal medium for brands to convey their messages succinctly and effectively. This art form blends creativity, strategy, and technology to engage audiences, often within the span of just a few seconds. The power of video is unparalleled in its ability to capture attention, evoke emotion, and drive action, making it a critical tool in the marketing arsenal of businesses worldwide.
At the core of commercial video production is the understanding that today's consumers are inundated with information. This digital deluge makes it increasingly challenging for any single message to stand out. Herein lies the expertise of video production professionals: their ability to distill complex messages into digestible, compelling narratives that resonate with viewers. This skill is not just about creativity; it involves a deep understanding of human psychology, market trends, and the technical nuances of video storytelling.
The Art of Conveying Messages
The essence of effective commercial video production lies in storytelling. A well-crafted video tells a story that viewers can connect with emotionally, intellectually, or both. Whether it's a heartwarming narrative, a humorous skit, or an awe-inspiring visual feast, the story is the vehicle that carries the brand's message. However, crafting these stories requires more than just a creative mind; it demands a strategic approach. Video producers must consider the target audience, the core message, and the desired action they wish the audience to take. Each element, from the script to the visual effects, must align perfectly to ensure the message is not just received but felt.
Technical Mastery Meets Creative Vision
Commercial video production is a field where technical expertise and creative vision intersect. Cinematography, editing, sound design, and visual effects are just a few of the elements that must harmonize to create an impactful video. Professionals in this field are not only artists but also technicians who understand how to manipulate these elements to enhance storytelling. The choice of a particular camera angle, the rhythm of the editing, or the subtlety of a sound effect can significantly influence how the message is perceived. This technical mastery is what allows producers to create videos that are not only visually stunning but also emotionally engaging.
Brevity is the Soul of Wit
In commercial video production, brevity is key. With the average viewer's attention span becoming ever shorter, the challenge is to convey a message in a matter of seconds. This requires a precise understanding of what needs to be communicated and the most effective way to do so. Every second counts and there is no room for filler. The ability to edit oneself, to distill a message to its essence, is what separates the good from the great in video production. It's about making every frame, every word, and every note of music serve the overarching goal of the message.
The Role of Innovation

Metabolism
Ne is a function that absorbs objects in real-time (Pe) and then extrapolates (N) new objects from their indiscriminate recombinations. Similar to how finding a ten-dollar bill on the street opens up a spectrum of possibilities for what to do with the money, a possibility space opens up around the objects Ne registers. In this space, Ne seeks out unconventional ideas for what the objects can transform or recombine into. As the recombinations become more unconventional, their capacity to generate even more novel association chains increases, diverging ad infinitum.
Behaviorism

• Daydreaming

https://preview.redd.it/z8ua5o0qphmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=f8b428c2de6ac49074a606e4ca13352c77b05ef8
The Ne function is motivated to discover new information, whether by absorbing it from the outside or by synthesizing it out of existing datasets through creative alchemy. It is highly imaginative, which is to say it's driven by images and information structures of all kinds. However, these images are not immediately evidenced in the environment but are all those that the environment evokes by containing an adjacent graphical relationship to the present. When faced with a situation the Ne user will only casually consider the literal objects before them as their mind soon drifts up, around, and behind those immediate objects to uncover the visual and conceptual implications related to that moment. They are quick to leap beyond the physical world and become lost in their heads; conjuring up novel ways to interpret situations as they unfold. They have a talent for manipulating information spatially and relationally; fitting together ideas that are otherwise largely disconnected from each other. They may find themselves comparing elements of the periodic table to music bands, or entertaining highly unlikely "What if..." scenarios for the fun of it. As children, they may be absentminded daydreamers oblivious to their surroundings and caught up in a self-made world of equal parts fiction and reality. The domain of their imagination can be far more interesting to them than whatever is happening in the outer world. Some may nurture this world with stories they make up, complete with characters, landscapes, and perhaps an entire legendarium.

• Lack of Attention

https://preview.redd.it/l218qqzqphmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=4807c5ba8cda1f71aaf57e3b5025527bbe49d16e
But the time the Ne user spends in their head often translates to time not spent in reality. Far more than the average student, they will be prone to space out in class and be unable to get through long texts or any tasks that require a very slow or arduous pace. Their perception of the world outside of their interests will be faint, hazy, or splotchy. If something is not particularly rich with associative potential, the details of objects in daily life will soon fade, leaving only their general impression as an after-image in their mind. When listening to others, as they’re absorbing the person’s words, one word will trigger a mental tangent midway and they’ll pursue it curiously at the loss of what else the other person is saying. They can live a klutzy existence, tripping on objects, wearing mismatched clothes, losing things, and forgetting appointments regularly. But despite this exterior inattentiveness, internally they may experience quite a hyperactivity of thought. Far more is happening within than without and this can also cause troubles such as over-thinking, excessive worrying about outcomes or not getting a good night’s sleep from an inability to slow down their mental chatter. They may find it difficult to keep a steady mental pace and can often be diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, or Sensory Processing Disorder. Reality can register to the Ne user as a series of information flashes that are somewhat spontaneous and which channel from every previous dataset collected in the unconscious.

• Mass Data Absorption

Jarring as it may be to be inundated by sporadic correlative flashes, it can also be incredibly stimulating and addictive to constantly be experiencing this imaginative feed. A small rush or high may be felt every time a new idea pops into awareness and the Ne user will thirst after that feeling of realization, the sensation of novelty, or the intrigue of curiosity. And when Ne is particularly strong, they will seek this type of experience with undying fervor. They will become media junkies, often binge-watching entire seasons, rushing through novels and games, or going on researching sprees for days or weeks on end. A slowdown of volume, or a lack of things to absorb can lead to feelings of stagnation, hollowness, and absence of thriving. As such, their impulse will be to pick up something else right after finishing the last thing, needing to have some form of interest always in mind. However, this can be problematic if they find themselves more engaged in the endless flux of information than in the information itself. Despite vast amounts of information entering, much may be going in one ear and out the other. A perpetual challenge for the Ne user will be to be more targeted in their attention and sink deeply into a few topics rather than spread themselves thin across dozens of topics. Indeed, when they learn to channel their focus toward a single direction, they can become overnight experts on subjects, memorizing every minute detail about a favored hobby, genre, pop idol, science experiment, or category of trivia.

• Serendipity & Flash Visions

https://preview.redd.it/x6daz822qhmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=480971e059a7986278e150d23a86264fc41a15b3
The Ne user's capacity to synthesize such high volumes of information sometimes leads to spooky insights, uncanny realizations, and predictions of the relevant situation. Suddenly a vision may flash before their eyes, stitched together from hundreds of unconscious micro-correlations accumulated around this moment; converging into one instance in time. This can lead to a semblance of clairvoyance where the Ne user attains some knowledge of the unseen causalities of the universe. They may come to deeply trust this sense, whenever they feel it manifest. However, these sudden flashes will not represent a stable ability and their appearance will be as unpredictable as their inspiration. In other cases, this can produce a habit of serendipity where the individual participates in a cosmic flow towards meaningful happenstances by consciously or unconsciously directing their energies in those vectors. The Ne users will attune themselves to the real-time synchronicities of the universe, ebbing and dancing in harmony with an eternally unfolding fractal toward undiscovered lands. At a more modest scale, the Ne user's information synthesis will regularly evoke epiphanies when various information vectors -- previously suspended in an unconscious superposition -- click into alignment and burst forth immediate realizations that alter the fabric of their mind and their paradigm. In all of these cases, the Ne user is rapidly altered -- seemingly by a divine act -- into a more true alignment with reality as it may exist at the widest scale possible.

• Tinkering

https://preview.redd.it/rkjohiz2qhmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=846bdb61f504a183fb98f99228dec68ba193adef
At a much more practical level, the strong Ne user is not only driven to absorb and synthesize information but also to actively participate in the information-collecting process. They will enjoy engaging with elements of reality through tinkering and experimentation. More than a few household devices may be taken apart as they yearn to see what’s inside. They may take up a variety of interests ranging from sculpting to rock collecting, music composition, cosplaying, animation, voice acting, puppeteering, and ventriloquism – but will rarely become experts at any of them. As a jack of all trades and master of none, they will dabble with mediums frequently but may find themselves changing hobbies every few years. This can also cause a great deal of disarray in their personal lives, as they soon lose interest in a once-beloved life trajectory. Repetition is among their biggest turn-offs, and this can also lead to a life-long struggle with keeping a set occupation unless the Ne user is fortunate enough to find a job that is as dynamic and evolving as their interests. They enjoy being on the cusp of their understanding and seeing what lies still beyond their reach. Over time, every interest they've ever had has the potential to spontaneously reignite itself in them. On a whim, they may circle back around to a hobby after having packed it up in the garage for years or decades, and continue their joy for it as if no time had passed. Indeed, they often have closets or garages filled with various unfinished hobbies or projects - waiting for an occasion to become the center of their attention.

• Puns & Quirky Humor

https://preview.redd.it/sc0af0g4qhmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=8696b6fa13e4ed187a89fa1fcb20dbe4dce4a7c0
The Ne user will also have an integral sense of humor and bring that with them into many of their interactions. They’ll have the capacity to convert their wild imaginings into out-of-context parallels; comparing a person’s gait to a limping platypus, an unusual jawline to a can opener, or a shih tzu to an animated mustache. They’ll juxtapose ideas together in absurd and off-the-wall ways and highlight the unseen peculiarities of things. The Ne user will have a natural drive to spark up the environment; to provide levity and life to situations as well as to their own life. Life is too dreary if you can’t have a little fun. Wordplay can be a favorite medium of humor, where they'll manipulate the semantics of the situation to make puns and associations. "Oh you can sit here with me, chairing is caring!" or "That omelet was egg-squisite! But the bacon was hogwash" or spoonerisms like "I'm stoing to the gore" may be commonly heard phrases. This sense of humor can lead many Ne users into stand-up comedy or adopt a role as a talk show host for their ability to improvise and keep the flow of a conversation going in unexpected directions.

• Imitations & Parodies

https://preview.redd.it/a8i9hwa5qhmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa06ab705dde25262bba6e85d965ad8b08553f41
The Ne user will also have a playful tendency to parody multiple characters and scenarios in real time. A certain event or external sound/word will trigger an association chain that reminds them of a scene or meme, and their mind instantly re-enacts the memory both mentally and physically. The Ne user wears many hats and could be a sort of walking record of enactments, ready to sprint into their acting mode at a moment's notice when the situation presents itself. They will manifest this in the form of "mini-skits" that imitate the iconic qualities of a thing. The Ne user may be an expert at playing with their facial muscles, making a wide range of expressions. They may also excel at modulating their voice tone, picking up and repeating accents from movie stars or obscure demographics. At a more functional and less recreational level, this gives the Ne user the ability to be adaptive and construct personas in social situations. If they are driven to assume a certain professional or social role, they may seamlessly be able to play the part. This can sometimes become a longstanding act, as they use the persona for months until the Ne user may even forget that they assimilated or constructed the character in the first place.

• Under Stress: Distraction & Escapism

https://preview.redd.it/1dqzksn6qhmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=e3df06a4696df7e53cf4f60083713db08cf723a3
When the hardships of life cause a fall out of emotional health for the Ne user, their first instinct will be to divert their attention away from the overwhelming pain. Humor, recreation, and consumerism will be exercised as an antidote to their pain, often leading them to engage in reckless spending, and jovial displays, and to seek out more risky experiences. On the inside the Ne user will be viscerally compelled to stay on the run by an avoidance of their anxieties and fears. They’ll feel that they would not be able to stand up to the full magnitude of their despair, and rather than have it crush them, they choose to highlight or exaggerate positives and downplay or ignore the magnitude of any negatives. They may also become immersed in a certain media, binge-watching Netflix or playing video games instead of tending to pressing responsibilities. Despite a completely conscious awareness of the necessity of certain actions, the more pressing a responsibility is, the more their mind will fight powerfully to avoid it, disallowing proper mental focus and follow-through. The Ne user will conflict with their mind as it struggles to do anything else but what it's supposed to do. Therefore, rather than address the issue head-on, the stressed Ne user may skirt around the problem and find something more magnetic to focus on and just wait for the project, assignment, or relationship to fail on its own.
Mythology
https://preview.redd.it/6x2y8e68qhmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=c03696d7d0792b80c99d7eaafd66145c62f4a2cc
The spiritual experience of Ne is called Mer, which is described more completely on this page. Mer is a psychological archetype best known as the Puer Aeternus; a Divine Child with the ability to distort or alter reality. As a symbol, Mer appears in the form of a golden egg, a genie lamp, or a deux ex machina. We find the spirit of Mer in characters such as Peter Pan), Paprika), and The Little Prince. These archetypal characters are almost always unbounded by gravity, able to fly, and always have some capacity to use magic playfully. They are provisional, innocent, and entirely without responsibility. Like the spirit of Mer, there is a quality that Ne brings to its user which is floaty, flighty, surreal, and nebulous. It may feel as if every mental step taken is a leap into new worlds, causing them to have a fantastical, spritely energy or the quality of air. The individual enveloped by Mer may feel non-literal, non-corporeal, and as if they were a caricature of themselves. Relating this quality to the music, the floaty energy of Ne carries the tone of Mozart's Turkish March or the Dance Of The Sugarplum Fairy.

• Rebirth & Child-like Wonder

https://preview.redd.it/xlyx5v39qhmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9e9a2e1b9e5ac13a0a30b5c9fe8e62741681fd0
The myth of Mer, when personally felt, ignites a yearning for reality to contain something other than the mundane and ordinary. There is a craving for something more than this, which hearkens back to a time when reality did exist as an interesting and unknown place that had not yet been dulled by repeated exposure. A return to infancy; rebirth. It represents the way we are before the world's laws and restrictions oblige us to narrow our perceptions into practical parameters. As such, Mer carries the capacity to rejuvenate weary eyes and unlearn all that prevents us from truly appreciating the mysteries of this universe. Mer may notice how odd it is that humans suddenly fall unconscious and helpless for eight hours every day, and nobody seems to mind it. It may ask why we have five fingers and not four, or why we only have long hair on our head, or why we have eyebrows - and other questions that any 'sensible' adult has long since stopped caring about. The evocation of Mer is like that of a newborn child who is seeing things for the first time. As the laws of physics haven't yet been established, anything seems possible and the child explores this new universe he has landed into with no prejudice whatsoever. Mer is especially captivated by glittery things such as prisms for their magical capacity to generate a rainbow spectrum, the allure of distant stars, and the reflection of light on morning dew. It holds an eternal wanderlust that compels its user to see what's beyond the next horizon or around the next corner.

• Madness & Mischief

https://preview.redd.it/zy6emahaqhmc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=34a83d44a381366919df1f789888eda5f112bbcd
As is true of all archetypes, Mer also has a dark form. When life has remained monotonous and dreary for too long, the Ne user's psyche will begin to suffocate and atrophy in the wake of their restrictive situation. Anything that can transform their world away from its present parameters -- even if it's violent and destructive -- will be felt as better than continuing along the same road. Reality becomes a prison that must be escaped, and they will escape this reality in the only way possible; by going deeper into fantasy. The individual's repressed desire for life will break the shackles of life through a series of nightmares and eventually into waking daydreams; distorting reality into chaotic and manic dreamworlds. We see this exemplified perfectly in the tale of Alice in Wonderland, where what starts as a playful fantasy devolves into a frightening world of impossible creatures and surreal situations filled with wacky characters made from the juxtaposition of concepts or memes. The form of Mer will switch from a Divine Child into a playfully mischievous daemon. The Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter are, in this tale, the archetypes of the dark side of Mer; speaking to the individual through cryptic, nonsensical absurdities. Here Mer begins to have a strong crossover with Ver's trickster archetype; enjoying pranks and developing a dark sense of humor. Other depictions of this iteration of Ne are seen in Invader Zim or Rick & Morty where the protagonists are mad scientists who use their talents for chaotic, fantastical amusements. Madness is chosen above the sterility of sanity, and mischief is taken above the blandness of sensibility.
Inter-Function Dynamics
https://preview.redd.it/v35nla3dqhmc1.png?width=768&format=png&auto=webp&s=349ac9a4d9106458c727c3688573cfa3b31e3be9

• Ne+Ti Ephemeralist

The Ti+Ne function combination produces an experience where life is perceived by Ne impressionistically and suspended from actuality, while Ti aims to draw impersonal understandings from that reality. The remote aspects of both functions combine to produce a highly disembodied experience. This leads to the production of artistic works or writings that highlight the fleeting nature of the self. Ti+Ne can lead to an appreciation for human ephemerality on one hand, or to existential distress on the other.

• Ne+Fe Inspirer

The Fe+Ne function combination merges Fe's grasp of interpersonal dynamics with Ne’s imaginative potential for the present, producing an inherently hopeful and motivating social force. This cognitive union understands how an existing social dynamic can be uplifted into something new, unexpected, and exciting. What results is a captivating optimism, bringing a childlike wonder and curiosity back into the social landscape and inspiring hope in people towards the unknown. The Fe+Ne combination can create optimism for new social realities on the one hand, or it can lead to impractical ideas and projects on the other hand.
https://preview.redd.it/6yr9bhgeqhmc1.png?width=768&format=png&auto=webp&s=c95708790b6a0a50eed9c5be45fc85592f71c77a

• Ne+Fi Etherealist

The Fi+Ne function combination produces an experience where life is perceived by Ne impressionistically and suspended from actuality, while Fi aims to embody its raw, uninhibited nature through those impressions. Fi carries an essential core it wishes to radiate out, but that core has no definite form of expression; only a spectral Ne range that takes many forms. This leads Fi+Ne to have an ethereal embodiment; felt as real, but ungraspable and beyond. When applied to creativity, this can produce a magical effect on one hand, or a nerdy quirkiness on the other.

• Ne+Te Inventor

The Te+Ne function combination merges Te's mechanistic causality with Ne's imaginative potential, creating a dynamic, inventive cognition. This cognitive union combines logistical strategies with creative possibilities, creating a scientific yet unconventional approach to problem-solving. Outside of science, this approach also produces an inventive approach toward human interaction, leading to witty, off-the-wall humor. The Te+Ne combination can lead to a strong innovative spirit on one hand, or to a scatterbrained tinkerer on the other.

I'm trying to find a youtube video about the one word Russian concept of (spirit/innovation/resourcefulness?) that ridicules being told to complete a task without the propeneeded tools.
The word was based on a TV skit where an officer tells his men to attack (tanks?) without the proper weapons (anti-tank launchers?) and then when informed they don't have the weapons he just says something like "oh well, they'll figure it out with... (innovation/spirit/resourcefulness?)"
I think the youtubevoice explaining was a woman?

5. Interactive Elements: Use questions, polls, or direct calls-to-action to encourage viewer interaction. Engaging your audience directly can boost visibility and foster a community feel.
6. Creative Audio Choices: Experiment with audio in inventive ways, such as original voiceovers, unexpected music pairings, or sound effects to enhance the narrative of your Reels.

The premises of this post is intended to bring out ideas and advices from Chennai folks on how you can develop better hobbies, habits, interests and personality.

1. few introduction about myself. I am quite shy and reserved person. I won't be that person who can make small talks out of sudden. I have few insecurities which stop me from being comfortable around others. Now this inherently contributes to making my persona look absurdly unwelcoming and weird.

2. Having odd or little to no common interests:
One of the major factors which help people connect on the early sights is the interest and likings both the parties or groups hold with eachother.
It can include sports, movies, books, tech, gym,etc.
One of the disadvantageous attribute I have is that I lack interests which are generally sought to be common among majority folks. Or even the ones I do, are just straight up weird and odd.
I don't watch movies or series - huge disadvantage. I don't have interest in sports as a guy.
Now this puts me into a point where I become the elephant in the room or the nut job with a useless presence.
I am quite embarrassed that I don't know anything about the cinema industry. Movies just don't stay in my heads and I'm not used to watching Them.
3. Having zero hobbies:
I'm at a position where more than almost half of my 24 hours goes to my screentime.
I can't focus on my career or education due to lack of innovation and guidance.
4. What I like:
I used to like drawing but that was given up long time ago.
I like cooking but my mom doesn't allows me in the kitchen because I mess things up.
I have a desire to write fictions but keep making excuses.
I listen to a bunch of songs.
I watch yt all time. From podcasts to infographics to vlogs, documentation, pop culture essay, memes, shizposting, self improvement videos, news, media channel interviews, cooking videos, political debates, political idealogy essays, parody, skits, public interviews, roasting, art and craft.

1. Poor body language:

I swear I have the worst body language. I act autistic in public. I wear glasses and am short. Ps not really fond of my looks. All these add to my low self-esteem and poor confidence.
I have almost zero friends in real life currently. Because guess what? I can't talk freely or openly. I speak in a feminine manner so I try to hide it by not speaking much. But it hurts a lot seeing yourself in a room full of groups where you stand alone with no company. My social anxiety isn't improving.
I feel very insecure around other guys.
I want to change for better. Tired of living a grumbling and horrible life. I am planning to pursue a hobby but please enlighten on how do I improve myself?

Greetings, I have been getting BOMBARDED with messages and most of them have a common theme and that is an absolute sad reality because most of the people who have messaged have no clue what they are doing.
THE SO CALLED DROPSHIPPING "GURUS" WHO MADE THEIR MILLIONS RIPPING OFF PEOPLE WITH THEIR 2000$ COURSE HAVE CREATED A WAVE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE DOING.
DROPSHIPPING IS NOT SATURATED, IT'S THE DROPSHIPPING STRATEGY THAT IS SATURATED.
EVERYBODY IS DOING THE SAME STRATEGY
IT'S LIKE IF EVERYONE IN CLASS WAS USING CHATGPT FOR THE SAME ESSAY TOPIC YOU ARE BOUND TO GET SAME RESULTS AND EVERYBODY IS GOING TO FAIL EVEN THOUGH THE ESSAY ITSELF FITS THE TEACHER'S STANDARD.
What I mean and I will stop shouting for a second so you don't mistaken me for a cocaine addict is that you have to be different otherwise you will not see results.
THE UNIVERSE DOES NOT REWARD COPYCATS NOR DOES IT REWARD THE ORDINARY AND IF YOU ARE DROPSHIPPING WITHOUT A UNIQUE STRATEGY YOU ARE BETTER OFF WORKING A WAGIE JOB AND SAVING YOUR MONEY.
I wrote about this in my previous post INNOVATE and it flew right past people's heads so I will go further and explain 1 last time how to do that.
In this post I will give 5 DIFFERENT PRODUCTS WITH THE ULTIMATE STRATEGY TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY HOW INNOVATIVE I AM:
Product 1:
The Portable multifunctional Pushup board
​
The first step is to ask myself the following question:
what problem does this product solve?
and because I am GENIUS I don't need to answer that myself I will let the people who already bought it answer that for me
So I go to amazon check the reviews and right off the BAT I SEE HIGH REVIEWS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE BOUGHT IT 1176 REVIEWS MEANING ATLEAST 50000 PEOPLE bought it.
That does not mean it's saturated because there are 8 billion people in the world and EVERYBODY HAS A PHONE YET THEY STILL BUY NEW PHONES, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO MARKET.
Review number 1: A must have for individuals looking to improve their form for push-ups. I use this daily. Durable and easy to store
SO MY PRODUCT HELPS PEOPLE IMPROVE THEIR PUSHUP FORM.
The problems that it solves go hand in hand with my Branding
Review number 2: This thing is awesome, especially for the cost. If you are new to working out or just not sure where to put your hands to focus on a specific muscle group while doing pushups then this thing is great. I was worried about it being flimsy because as far as pushup boards go this is on the cheaper end, but it's actually pretty sturdy! It's a great gift for any guy in your life. I got it for my brother and after seeing it I got one for myself and then I got a third one for a friend. It's a great item to have.
Now mind you this GUY IS BUYING IT FOR 29 EUROS WHEN IT ONLY COSTS 5 EUROS ON ALIEXPRESS AND 3 EUROS IF IT'S BULK AND HE THINKS ITS CHEAP.
This goes to show you it's not the price that matters but rather the problem you are solving.
"It's a great item to have."
This is the most important element, why is it a great item to have?
BECAUSE YOU DO MORE PUSHUPS WHEN YOU HAVE IT.THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT THAT PRODUCT WILL AUTOMATICALLY DO MORE PUSHUPS.
Review Number 3:"I got this thing for the office as “push up tax” for all the IT people that won’t stop congregating around my cubicle. Easy- cry about something you do 20- dealers choice, spend more than 3 minutes lingering around my cubicle attracting managements attention- 10 push ups, insults- 10 pushups- not to mention you can prepay insults! Great product and is hard to look at without trying it.It is sturdy, hasn’t broke even though it seems a tad flimsy. Been holding up great!"
AND BOOM WE HAVE FOUND OUR MAGIC FORMULA TO CHANGE THIS FROM A SATURATED PRODUCT TO THE MOST INNOVATIVE ITEM TO LAND IN THE MARKET SINCE BREAD.
Now you are probably wondering why? it does not make sense in your brain and that's simply because you aren't a marketing genius yet!
STEP 1: BUY SAMPLES
STEP 2: SETUP THE STORE USING THE REVIEWS TO IMPLEMENT THE PROBLEMS IT SOLVES
STEP 3: ADD THE SPIN
STEP4: "PAY THE PRICE IN PUSHUPS"
It's just like the good old swear jar but instead everyone can pay and instead of losing they get GAINS.Now instead of marketing it to kids we market it to mothers.
HAVING TROUBLE DISCIPLING YOUR CHILD?INTRODUCING THE MR.PUSHUPS THE GLUE THAT KEEPS FAMILIES TOGETHER!
MR.PUSHUPS IS A PUSHUP BOARD THAT PUNISHES THE UNDISCIPLINED, YOUR SON JIMMY FAILED THE TEST AGAIN?
100 PUSHUPS.
IT'S THE SPIN THAT CREATES THE MAGIC.
AND YOUR MAIN PROBLEM IS YOU SPEND TOO MUCH TIME DOING FUCK ALL AND EXPECT RESULTS, BRING ME A FUCKING ROCK AND I WILL MAKE IT INTO A SUCCESFUL COMPANY BECAUSE I SPIN IT OFF, I KNOW HOW TO SELL, AND INSTEAD OF THINKING HEY DROPSHIPPING DOESN'T WORK ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU DID WRONG.
Now how do we market this product?
FIND A FAMILY BASED CHANNEL LIKE THE FURRAHFAMILY
Now you obviously have to find a family that fits your budget but this was the first 1 I found.
Contact said influencer with a sponsorship opportunity and instead of paying for Ads have him market it with his "funny skits" and in no time you have a succesful business.
REMEMBER PURCHASES ARE IMPULSE BASED AND A PERSON LAUGHING AT A FUNNY VIDEO IS MORE LIKELY TO BUY THE PRODUCT IN IT THAN YOUR STUPID 30 SECOND AD THAT NO ONE WANTS TO SEE.
After the SPONSORSHIP now you have a video to use for your FACEBOOK OR TIKTOK ADS JUST MAKE SURE TO AGREE TO HAVE THE WRITTEN RIGHTS FOR THE VIDEO FROM THE INFLUENCER.
2: Mini Foldable Book Light Eye Protection Light Clip-on 360° Flip Study Lamp Rechargeable Battery Travel Bedroom Reading Lamp
THE DIRECT PROBLEM SOLVER
NOW MOST OF YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS PRODUCT IS FOR SINCE YOU NEVER READ A BOOK IN YOUR LIFE BUT FOR THE SOPHISTICATED PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF THIS IS A MUST.
NOW WE GO THROUGH THE STEPS AGAIN:
STEP1: BUY SAMPLES
STEP 2:SETUP THE STORE IMPLEMENTING THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
STEP 3:ADD THE SPIN
THE SPIN DOESN'T CHANGE THE PRODUCT, THE SPIN IS THE ABILITY TO DISTRACT THE PERSON FROM BEING THE PRODUCT ITSELF, THE SPIN IS TO ADVERTISE WITHOUT ADVERTISING BECAUSE NOBODY LIKES BEING FORCED AGAINST THEIR WILL.
WHEN YOU IMPLEMENT THE SPIN PEOPLE WILLINGLY BUY YOUR PRODUCT.
So the Spin here is simple: find a couple on tiktok, HAVE 1 OF THEM BE IN ARGUMENT WITH THE OTHER AND THE SKIT BEING THE PRODUCT IS THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM(I HAD A LONG DESCRIPTION BUT THE FILTER GOT IT REMOVED)
Product 3: 3 in1 Pet Dog Dryer Quiet Dog Hair Dryers and Comb Brush Grooming Kitten Cat Hair Comb Puppy Fur Blower Low Noise Temprature
THE PET PRODUCTS ARE UNDERRATED ESPECIALLY CATS BUT TO MOVE FURTHER YOU CAN EASILYYYY GET CHEAP ADVERTISEMENT FROM CAT AND DOG PAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR YOUR PRODUCT AND YOU CAN DO IT ORGANICALLY TOO WITH THE SAME PRINCIPAL AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WATCH THAT CONTENT ARE TOO INVESTED IN THE IDEA OF HAVING A DOG OR A CAT MAKING THEM EASY TARGETS.
PRODUCT 4:Multi-functional Electric Cleaning Brush for Kitchen and Bathroom - Wireless Handheld Power Scrubber for Dishes, Pots, and Pans
THE ALL IN 1 CLEANER, NOW OBVIOUSLY YOU WOULD TRY TO SELL IT TO WOMEN BUT I WOULD SELL IT TO MEN.
MEN WOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR THEIR WIFE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO PLEASE HER IN A ATTEMPT TO ACTUALLY GET LAID FOR ONCE, SINGLE MEN HAVE TROUBLE CLEANING, UNIVERSITY MEN NEED THIS, WOMEN ARE NATURALLY GOOD AT CLEANING.HOW DO WE MARKET IT?SIMPLE WE GET THE SAME STUPID COUPLE FROM THE 2ND PRODUCT AND THIS TIME THE SKIT IS THE WOMAN HAS ENOUGH WITH CLEANING AND TELLS HER HUSBAND HE SHOULD CLEAN THE HOUSE AND SHE PROBABLY THINKS HE WILL FIND IT DIFFICULT AND APPRECIATE HER MORE HE PULLS UP OUR PRODUCT AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT HE EFFORTLESSLY FINISHED CLEANING AND SITS DOWN AND RELAXES. AND THIS DEMONSTRATES THE PRODUCT'S POWER ALL THE WHILE MAKING IT A FUNNY VIDEO.AFTER THAT RINSE AND REPEAT WE USE THAT SKIT FOR OUR ADVERTISEMENT.
product 5: 9000Pa Wireless Car Vacuum Cleaner USB Charging 1200mAh Portable Cleaning Appliance Mini Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner Household,
SKIT OF SOME RANDOM FRIEND ALWAYS EATING IN THE CAR AND LIVING HIS FILTH ALL OVER THE CAR, AND THE CAR OWNER HAS ENOUGH PULLS UP THE CAR VACUUM ANGRY, FRIEND THINKS IT'S A GUN SHITS HIS PANTS, CAR OWNER FORCES HIM TO CLEAN THE CAR AND THEN HIS SHOE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT.
Now before anyone posts, oh We aren't rich to sponsor influencers, then do it yourself you can't achieve great things without effort
and EVEN IF YOU DO
YOUr MERE MEASURE WOULD BE MATERIALISTIC BEHIND THE MONEY YOU WON'T BE NOTHING
JUST A RANDOM LUCKY FLUKE
everything you gain would be material.
YOU NEED TO PUT IN EFFORT FOR EVEN IF YOU SUCCEED YOU LEARN AND GAIN EXPERIENCE TO PROPELL YOU FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS.
NOW I HAVE GIVEN YOU A CLEAR STRATEGY THAT WILL MAKE YOU UNIQUE.
A STRATEGY THAT WILL PROPELL YOU TO SUCCESS.
AND I ASK 1 THING OF YOU AND ONLY 1 THING.
THAT YOU APPLY IT.
I WANT YOU TO WIN.
BEST OF LUCK!
SIDENOTE: APOLOGIES FOR BAD SPACING, THE FIRST DRAFT GOT REMOVED BY THE BOT SO I HAD TO COPY AND PASTE AND ALL THE SPACES GOT REMOVED DID MY BEST TO FIX IT BUT I AM RUNNING OUT OF WRITING TIME SO IT IS WHAT IT IS.

YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World (5/5)
The story has incredible depth with everything properly explained by the end. The point and click mechanic can feel very mundane with the needlessly large amount of slightly varying text responses, it does provide a very strong sense of mystery and adventure when combined with the immersive OST. The ADMS and the loop mechanic were very refreshing and they helped to create a sense of exploration. In the later half, abrupt sex scenes and MC's erratic decisions can be irritating and immersion breaking. However, the world was still intriguing and enjoyable. Some character arts are not great, but most of them are quite pleasing to look at. English localization was terrible, littered with incorrect translations and nonsensical sentences.
Time and Eternity (4/5)
The character design is great, and the animation is very clean. Both in-game character art and illustration are beautiful. Hanazawa's voice acting is very enjoyable, and it adds a lot to Toki's character. OST is very catchy, especially the battle themes. Combat is innovative with many different skills and mechanics to play with, but the nature of 1v1 battle makes it repetitive after a while. The game can be easily broken by abusing time magic. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, but the story is interesting enough. Side quests can be a drag as they are all very simplistic. Overall, it can feel a bit janky, but the artistic direction is unquestionable.
Tales of Graces f (4/5)
A typical Tales game with power of friendship as the focus. Skits and post battle interactions are funny. The combat feels handicapped by the chain cap system in the early stage of the game. It takes most of the game to get used to the flow. Colorful 3D art style and OST are reminiscent of Eternal Sonata. Sophie's voice acting by Hanazawa is perfect.
Blue Reflection (4/5)
The gameplay has some variety but overall it doesn't provide much challenge. Graphics is PS3 level. The game has a heavy focus on character driven story that is to the point and without much diversion. Characters are likable making it easy to get invested in their relationships. The ending is very melancholic. The song and the illustration served to accentuate the feeling.
Robotics;Notes Elite (4/5)
Pacing is too slow, and it only picks up in the last quarter. Writer often uses multiple sentences to describe one thing and it gets tiring. Some of the early endings feel abrupt and unnatural. Game is more dynamic than standard VN thanks to 3D portrait and phonedroid trigger, but the hunt for report is too difficult. There were some intriguing moments but they're less common compared to Steins Gate. Tanegashima and space center serve as a great setting.
Romancing SaGa 2 (4/5)
The nonlinear style exploration, storytelling, and generation system are very interesting and unconventional in JRPG. The kingdom building aspect is fun. Having to rebuild the team every generation can be a bit of a pain. The lack of timeout period after escaping a battle can be quite annoying.
Chaos;Child (4/5)
The story is moderately enjoyable, but it lacks the global scale conspiracy and science like in Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes. Female character voices are great but Takuru's voice in combination with the direction can be very annoying at times. The violence can be shocking, but towards there was so much violence it became numbing, some even felt unnecessary. The game is fairly good at setting up the eerie ambience of psychological crime scenes. Every route was well written. The true end and the credit song was very sentimental.
Bullet Girls Phantasia (3/5)
The story is surprisingly complex for a fan-service game, but it's not particularly engaging due to the game not taking itself seriously. Character models and movements are very natural and the designs are appealing. The combat isn't particularly interesting. Most of the post-game contents are locked behind heavy grinding. The costume selection is fair and it is a lot of fun to try out different options.
Gal*Gun (3/5)
Normal story mode can be beaten by spamming shoot button. Getting platinum requires much more practice and skills. The game is quite fun after mastering the ecstasy shot mechanic. One problem with the design is that the waist and the breast section hit boxes can feel inconsistent due to the girls movement and being sandwiched between other sections. The story is generic but the music is good. Character models are very barebones for a PS3 game.
Drakengard 3 (3/5)
Yoko Taro is a master at building a desolate world, and Drakengard 3 is no exception of that. The story in the main game isn't particularly deep because it's mostly about killing the sisters over and over again, and the motive was simply explained in a later mission. DLCs are also required to get some of the backstories. While the OST wasn't as good as Nier Automata, it's still very good and the tracks play into the game story itself. Weapon and combat were well balanced as the game forces players to use different types of weapon unlike in Nier games. Side mission challenges are also well tuned. Performance is absolutely garbage on PS3 with lots of screen tearing which can be frustrating at times. Camera control also felt a bit stiff. Has the most difficult and wacky final boss of any JRPG which is impossible to beat without cheating.
Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy! (3/5)
The game starts out easy but the difficulty quickly ramps up. Grinding dungeons a few rounds before challenging the boss is generally required in order to avoid losing progress. Finding the right setup and beating the boss by a hair can be satisfying, but dying repeatedly after going through 10s of floors can be frustrating, especially with the repetitive nature of roguelike. Story is fairly standard. The polish and the presentation are there as usual for Square Enix games.
Legend of Mana (3/5)
The stories are a lot more interesting than Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana, especially the Jumi arc. It's also a plus that the game tells three stories in a single playthrough, although it does get kind of confusing and metaphorical. Gameplay doesn't age very well and combat is easily broken by stun locking enemies with basic attack. Game doesn't give enough hints for objective and the maps are big and confusing. The secondary gameplay mechanics like crafting can be difficult to get into.
Akiba's Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed (3/5)
Character design is great, but in-game portrait are low quality. The game feels barebones and unpolished. Combat system is designed for 1v1 but the game often throws multiple enemies at player making it difficult to select target and easy to get chain CC'ed. The game often registers the incorrect command during combat which can be frustrating. Support characters suffer from lack of development. Multiple route system is simple but well done. Dialogue choices help players get invested in the story and care for the heroine.
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (3/5)
The game doesn't do a very good job of explaining the mechanics. Low frame rate on the PS3 and auto-camera rotation causes motion sickness. The mix of mystery, exploration, and management was interesting for a while, but the side activities quickly became repetitive and grindy when story slows down especially in the post game life sim section. Events are unnecessarily sparse and difficult to locate, leading to a lot of downtime. Voice acting is on and off even during important scenes. Art style and character design are amazing.
Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner M∀RS (2/5)
Not a particularly enjoyable game by today's standard due to PS2 graphics. Some boss fights can be frustrating due to gimmick mechanic that isn't obvious or well explained.

안녕하세요. KDRAMA Mod Team입니다.
As we approach the end of 2023 and prepare to welcome 2024, we are kicking off our special year-end discussions and activities! This post will outline upcoming plans and also serve as the first post in our 2023 Year In Review post collection.
The Plans
Our year-end discussions and activities will be comprised of three parts:

• Year in Review Posts -- A series of themed posts that ask users to reflect on the past year and their viewing experience. See detailed post schedule at end of this post.
  
• 2023 Drama Recommendations Presented by Mod Team and On-Air Hosts -- A collection of recommendations of 2023 kdramas written by mods and on-air hosts.
  
• Year End Survey -- A Google Form survey that focuses primarily on which 2023 dramas they have watched.
  

Please join us in these discussions as we say farewell to 2023 in kdramaland. Now without further ado, let's begin!
Looking Back on 2023 in Kdramaland
We invite all of you to look back upon 2023 with us at the many things that took place in kdramaland and Korea and share your thoughts and reflections on this past year. To get us started, we have curated a list of events and news from this past year. The following list of events and news has been curated with consideration of how the events/news affected kdramaland and our community. While we welcome input from the community in the comments, we do ask that community members do not make the curation of this list into a political or ideological issue. If there are any events or news that you feel should be remembered, please feel free to share in the comments!
THE WORLD entered into 2023 ready to move onwards from the COVID-19 pandemic as life slowly returned to normalcy. While this was great news in many aspects, for OTT streaming platforms it meant a more challenging market landscape as people were no longer as glued to their screens as they were during lockdown. Despite this, all the players in the kdrama industry vowed to invest more in creating new content, demonstrating their belief in the increasing popularity of Korean content all around the world. Netflix especially drew much attention when it announced that it will invest US$2.5 billion in South Korea over the next four years to produce Korean TV series, movies and scripted shows, marking the largest investment ever made in the South Korean content industry.
Dramas, movies, and scripted shows are just one slice of the K-content pie as the South Korean government renewed their commitment to K-content and the content industry by aiming to double the country's exports of cultural content to $25 billion USD by 2027 following on the heels of exports of the content industry hitting an all-time high of $12.4 billion in 2021. Here content industry is an umbrella term for organizations that make copyrighted works available to the public, such as publishing, music, games, broadcasting, films, cartoons, animation, characters, advertising, knowledge information and content solutions. Notably, the webtoon industry has seen astronomical growth in recent years, especially on the global level, and solidified its place as a key player in the content industry for its creation of IP that can generate revenue through adaptation across a broad spectrum of mediums such as dramas, books, games, and merchandise goods.
In addition to announced investments, the content industry also welcomed the opening of Studio M, a multipurpose water-based filming studio inside Studio Cube, a state-run filming studio in Daejeon, just 140 kilometers (~87 miles) south of Seoul. Besides investing in infrastructure and funding content creation, the SK government also committed to combating digital piracy via a reward initiative for whistleblowers of pirate websites, offering up to 3 billion won ($2.2 million) in compensation. While digital piracy has always been a threat to the content industry, in an era of increasingly rising subscription fees, users are turning to illegal streaming sites and other non-legal distribution channels, hurting the content industry as copyrights are infringed. A friendly reminder here that our subreddit is a staunch supporter of using legal streaming sites so please, source your dramas responsibly.
While 2023 did not see a global hit on the scale of Squid Game, the industry still celebrated the success of Moving and Bargain. Meanwhile in Chungmuro, the Blue Dragon Film Awards bids adieu to an old tradition as Kim Hye Soo, who still holds the record as the youngest recipient of the film awards’ best actress award, steps down as host of the awards after 30 years. While Chungmuro looks forward to next year’s awards, it is also a great chance to look back on its past, especially as 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of both director Park Chan-wook’s 2003 magnum opus Old Boy starring Choi Min-sik, and director Bong Joon-ho’s Memories of Murder starring Song Kang-ho.
In keeping with both reflection on the past and innovation for the future, KBS welcomes back Gag Concert, its flagship comedy TV show that initially aired in September 1999 and ended its first season after 1,050 episodes in June 2020. Newer fans, especially international fans, may be unfamiliar with Gag Concert but this comedy skit show was truly a cultural icon with many star-studded cameos and more than a few jabs at the kdrama industry and its obsession with makjang viewership ratings. Another cultural icon also took an innovative step forward this year as EBS (Educational Broadcasting System) welcomed a new character “Byeori” to its show “Ding Dong Dang Kindergarten”, marking the first time a local children’s show will feature a character with autism spectrum disorder, demonstrating increased attention to promoting acceptance and celebration of differences. “Ding Dong Dang Kindergarten” is one of the most popular children’s TV shows in Korea and has been airing since 1982.
However not all attempts at new things were successful as Busan lost its bid for hosting the World Expo in 2030 and the World Scout Jamboree was a bit of a debacle. Despite these disappointments, SK did have many achievements and milestones throughout the year such as the first time twin pandas were born in the country, Gaya Tumuli being named a UNESCO World Heritage, Jeju’s Haenyeo (women divers who dive without oxygen masks) Fisheries System being designated as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems, KTX’s cumulative total number of passengers exceeding 1 billion, and the opening of the National Museum of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty.
While some milestones were universally celebrated, other milestones can seem more like the markings of the end of an era that can bring forth discomfort and confusion. As Korea phases out the Korean age system (in mostly legal contexts) and guidelines on ceremonial rites issued under the Confucian educational institute Sung Kyun Kwan authorize the inclusion of fried chicken and ramen on the jesa table (table of food served at traditional ritual honoring ancestors), changes to Korean (traditional) culture seem to be the hot topic this year in SK. With ‘sologamy’ weddings and policies on use of English names in companies making headlines, it will be interesting to see what other aspects of Korean culture undergo change in the upcoming years.
Speaking of weddings, this year kdramaland witnessed the marriage of actresses Cha Chung Hwa, Son Eun Seo, and Lee Da Hae. Meanwhile actors Daniel Henney, Lee Dal, Yoon Bak, Go Kyu Pil, Shim Hyung Tak, Moon Sang Hoon, Heo Dong Won, and Song Joong Ki also got married. Song Joong Ki and wife also welcomed their first child later in the year. And then there are the actor-actress couples that tied the knot this year including Sojin and Lee Dong Ha and Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In. There was also more baby news as actresses Yoo Da In, Gong Hyun Joo (twins!), Yoon Jin Yi, Ji So Yeon (and her husband actor Song Jae Hee), Yoon Seung Ah (and her husband actor Kim Moo Yeol), Na Hye Mi (and her husband actor Shinhwa’s Eric), and Uhm Hyun Kyung (and her husband actor Cha Seo Won) welcomed their first child. Meanwhile actress Kang Sora welcomed her second child.
While celebration of marriages and births have always garnered headlines in kdramaland, this year it seems that SK’s birth rate has been an especially hot topic in the news, especially in the latter half of the year as it was announced that SK’s total fertility rate hit a new low of 0.7, projected number of elementary school freshmen nationwide for next year is below 400,000, and law is being revised to increase parental leave benefits. SK’s low birth rate also directly ties into another ‘forever’ hot issue in SK, that of mandatory military service. Along with school violence, mandatory military service and SK’s changing social outlooks about marriage and having children are some of the important social themes being explored in kdramas. Expect to see more dramas about these themes in years to come, but do also consider past dramas on these themes for a glimpse of changing tides via a kdrama lens.
Changing tides has been something keenly felt in our subreddit community within the past few years as kdramas have skyrocketed in popularity across the world and we’ve grown exponentially in size going from 70,000 in October 2019 to 600,000 in November 2023. This year has been especially meaningful as we celebrated both the 10th anniversary of Heirs, the drama that gave rise to our sweater parrot icon, and our very first AMA with actor Teo Yoo. For the mod team, having the chance to participate in and celebrate these milestones together with the community this year has truly been an honor. We thank you for an amazing 2023 and invite you to stay with us in 2024 as this subreddit tackles its turbulent teenage years.
With that, we are signing off with early best wishes for the New Year -- may your dramas be great, your duds be few and far in between, and Truck of Doom^TM-nim find a new look!

Maybe this was an episode on a TV show, like The Office, maybe it was an SNL skit, I honestly don't know. but I am trying explain this to a friend and cannot find it. It was a comedy bit where a CEO type person was talking to the camera about "new and innovative" blah blah, whatever, or maybe he was talking about who he was and was a political candidate or something, and throughout his message he would continually walk up to and then put one leg up on a chair in different places. Like at the beginning it made sense. He would walk into a room in an office, put one leg on a chair, and keep talking to the camera, but eventually he is like out in a field where a chair has no reason to be and he walks up to the chair and puts one leg up on it and leans into his propped leg while he keeps talking to the camera. What is this video!?

Project Brief:
“Nova Codes” is a company that focuses on creating games and animated videos. We will mostly post content on Youtube, attracting a large fan base over time. The videos will be an advertisement to other companies who may be interested in “Nova Codes”. We will offer outsourcing services to other studios as requested.
The Youtube videos follows the youtube channel owner, "Liam", and the two 3d animated characters, "Nova" and "Cody", as they create gaming projects. The videos will show the three creating games, where Nova is in charge of the art direction and Cody is in charge of development/programming. The videos transition between showing game and art development, and short skits using the 3d characters. The channel is meant to be mildly informative of the game development process, but focuses more on entertainment and humor. The world is slightly dark and edgy, with a futuristic “cyberpunk” theme.
The videos start with a hook based on what is popular in the media. Then, the characters will create a game based on the hook. At the end of the videos, there will be an advertisement for a gaming tournament for the game created. It will have a cash prize. Tournaments will typically take place 2-4 weeks after the video is live.
The type of humor is "zoomer" humor, with slapstick humor. The characters use physical humor, often making fun of eachother and Liam.
As the game is created, the characters interact with important characters from the game. This results in interesting situations. An example: The team is creating a game about dinosaurs. As soon as the 3d model of a large dinosaur is completed, it starts to chase Nova and Cody.
The character models have a western style to them, looking slightly more realistic than the PixaDisney style. When they exaggerate their emotions, the animation transforms into looking like 2D Anime. In these sections, we will animate on twos or threes, with added 2d post processing.
The goal of the narrative is to share a powerful change in the characters, where they are more loving and kind over time. They learn to work together, be more compassionate and create positive change in the world.
The games are relatively short, repetitive games. They will not take longer than 2 months with 1-2 programmers working on them.
