2024.05.16 18:01 Squirrel09 A detailed look at YouTube statistics for different trailers & teasers.

TL/DR
Current YouTube Dislike Counter extensions work by taking data from those who have the extension and extrapolate information from there. The issue is that those who have the extension are individuals who are more likely to dislike, skewing the sample size to those who are more likely to dislike than the casual viewer.
A better look into those details would be comparing the publicly available Likes to View and calculating a percentage based on how likely someone is to Like a video while viewing. A simple calculation is Like / View. Reversing it to Views / Likes shows how many views it takes to receive 1 like.
This calculation doesn't magically make RoP the most successful trailer ever. Far from it, but it does better reflect the data and I believe it to not be skewed one direction or the other.
Rings of Power Data*

Link	Views	Likes	Chance of Like per View
Season 2 Teaser Trailer	5,441,810	74,010	1.36%
Season 2 A look Inside	202,616	7,158	3.53%
Season 1 Main Teaser	12,479,810	79,395	0.64%
Season 1 Teaser Trailer	31,555,692	130,915	0.41%

^See ^limitations ^of ^method ^section
Season 2 (so far) is faring much better than season 1 in this comparison.

INTRODUCTION
YouTube statistics, specifically likes/dislikes, is a common point in many online discussions when talking about upcoming media. Rings of Power Season 1 & 2 are not exempt from this. Since YouTubes removal of a dislike button in 2021 different extensions have come into play to replicate that. Most commonly the "Replace YouTube Dislike Button" Extension for Chrome (and probably other Browsers). My hope here is to
1) Point to the flaws that are associated with that extension.
2) A better way to measure Like/dislike engagement with publicly available data. By dividing the Likes by the Views to see how likely someone is to like the video.
3) The flaws associated with this method.

1) THE RETURN THE YOUTUBE DISLIKE EXTENTION (RYD)
Being made after YouTube removed the Dislike button in late 2021, this extensions goal was to return the dislike to YouTube (Duh). On release, Dislike data was still reported by YouTube API. So it began as a pretty straightforward app that simply called that data from the API and inserted it into the web page. Shortly after, YouTube removed that data from the API all together. Creators could still privately view their like/dislike, but that data couldn't be accessed by a 3rd party.
To counter that the app started working in a new way, it 1) Pulled as much information from the API that it could to have a "Base" set of data for videos posted before the removal. 2) Recorded when it's users interacted with the like/dislike buttons and added it to the data base. According to their GitHub FAQ #5 videos uploaded AFTER the API was shutdown is calculated by (RYD User Dislike Count)(RYD User Like Count) * Public Like Count. Simply put. It gets the ratio of it's users likes/dislikes and applies that ratio to the public count.
It's honestly not a bad system, but it has a pretty major flaw. The extension is more likely to be used by those who downvote more often. This simply skews the data to be Dislike heavy. This is pretty verifiable by doing a simple Google Search and reading up on what different YouTube Creators are saying. This Creator is claiming that the extension reports 50+ dislikes while YouTube reports 15! a ~230% increase!
The Return the YouTube Dislike Extent ion could be great, if people who are casual viewers & those who commonly like videos would download and use it as well. However, that's not the case and the result is a large group of their users are those who are more likely to downvote and want to see those numbers.

THE BETTER METHOD
I believe a better method to see the positive engagement of a video is looking at how likely someone is to "Like" the video per view. This is easily calculated by Getting the Like count and dividing it by the view count. You can also reverse that to calculate how many views it takes to get a like on overage. Since both of these numbers are publicly available, we can be much more confident that the numbers aren't skewed by an outside 3rd party group.
Lets look at different recently released trailers, Most "Successful" with this method to least.

Link	Views	Likes	Chance of Like per View
Wicked - Official Trailer	2,019,551	103,339	5.12%
The Boys – Season 4 Official Trailer	9,202,858	426,627	4.64%
House of the Dragon Season 2 Official Trailer	3,094,267	126,642	4.09%
RoP Season 2 A look Inside	202,616	7,158	3.53%
Dune: Prophecy Official Teaser	1,795,601	60,603	3.38%
The Penguin	3,648,089	4,650	2.99%
The Acolyte Official Trailer	10,576,120	193,683	1.83%
RoP Season 2 Teaser Trailer	5,441,810	74,010	1.36%

Using this method, We can easily see the level of "Excitement" there is behind each trailer based on how likely someone is to like the video, and we can easily compare these numbers as well if you're so inclined.

LIMITATIONS OF LIKE/VIEW METHOD
As time progresses, opinions change. What might have been a highly anticiped tv show or movie could have been a dud and gotten a bunch of dislikes after the release. Or something could have flown under the radar, turned out great and so people are going back to the trailer and liking it out of excitement of the finished product. Because of this, this method shouldn't really be used to compare new and old videos as too many variables come up as time progresses. I did this in my TLDR section to compare season 1 & 2. A workaround for this would to pull the data from Waybackmachine for the same time period in relation. So what I should of done in my TLDR is grab a capture 2 days after reveal of the data. So a more accurate table would look like this...

Link	Views	Likes	Chance of Like per View
Season 2 Teaser Trailer	5,441,810	74,010	1.36%
Season 2 A look Inside	202,616	7,158	3.53%
Season 1 Main Teaser (July 16th 2022)	4,535,187	53,000	1.16%
Season 1 Teaser Trailer(Feb 16th 2022)	18,754,323	84,000	0.44%

This didn't change the Season 1 Teaser Trailer much, but there was a significant change in the Main Teaser Percentage.

CONCLUSION
Non of this really matters. If you like the show, great! If you don't, great! Either way, touch grass and hug a loved one (I know I need to after writing all of this lol). It's what J.R.R Tolkien would have wanted.
I like data and major way people are comparing trailers is flawed and has a biased sample size. I think comparing Likes to views is a better way. This doesn't Magically make RoP somehow the most popular & well liked media ever produced. Far from it. But it is a better look at how it's trailers compare to other recent trailers.

2024.05.16 17:41 GJGardnerHomesDenver Elevate Your Home Entertainment: Essentials for Ultimate Entertainment Spaces in Denver

https://preview.redd.it/8mfzuh2l6t0d1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=e8b3245a9a2addf4d7a8e24d7403d0612dde7edc
In today’s modern homes, creating dedicated entertainment spaces has become increasingly popular, offering families and friends a place to relax, unwind, and enjoy immersive experiences. At GJ Gardner Homes, we understand the importance of designing functional and stylish entertainment rooms that cater to diverse interests and preferences. Whether you’re a movie enthusiast, avid gamer, or social host, here are essential elements to consider when creating the ultimate entertainment space in your Denver home.
1. Purposeful Layout
Start by defining the purpose and layout of your entertainment room based on your interests and activities. Determine whether the space will primarily serve as a home theater, gaming room, or multipurpose lounge area. Consider factors such as seating arrangement, viewing angles, and access to amenities like refreshments and storage.
2. Immersive Audio-Visual Experience
Enhance the entertainment experience with high-quality audio-visual equipment tailored to your preferences. Invest in a large-screen TV, projector, or surround sound system for a cinematic experience. Consider acoustic treatments and soundproofing to optimize audio clarity and minimize disturbances.
3. Comfortable Seating Options
Select comfortable and versatile seating options to accommodate gatherings of different sizes. Choose plush sofas, recliners, or sectional seating with built-in cup holders and USB ports for convenience. Incorporate ergonomic seating arrangements to ensure optimal comfort during extended viewing or gaming sessions.
4. Gaming and Media Consoles
Integrate gaming consoles, media players, and streaming devices into your entertainment room setup. Designate a dedicated area for gaming consoles and accessories, ensuring easy access to power outlets and storage for games and controllers. Consider installing built-in shelves or cabinets to organize media collections and equipment.
5. Ambient Lighting Control
Create a customizable ambiance with smart lighting controls that enhance the mood and atmosphere of your entertainment room. Use dimmable LED lights, accent lighting, or color-changing bulbs to set the tone for different activities, such as movie nights, gaming tournaments, or casual gatherings.
6. Multi-functional Design Elements
Optimize space and functionality with multi-functional design elements that cater to diverse entertainment needs. Incorporate retractable screens, motorized blinds, or hidden storage solutions to maximize flexibility and usability. Explore innovative furniture options like convertible tables or wall-mounted displays for added versatility.
7. Refreshment Stations
Enhance convenience and hospitality by incorporating refreshment stations within your entertainment room. Install a mini bar, beverage cooler, or snack counter equipped with essentials for entertaining guests. Consider adding a popcorn machine, coffee bar, or mini-fridge to elevate the overall experience.
8. Interactive Gaming Features
Transform your entertainment room into a hub for interactive gaming experiences. Install virtual reality (VR) systems, motion-controlled games, or arcade machines to engage guests of all ages. Create dedicated play areas with ample space for movement and social interaction.
9. Personalized Decor and Themes
Infuse your personality into the design with personalized decor and themes that reflect your interests and style. Choose wall art, posters, or memorabilia related to movies, games, or music genres. Incorporate thematic elements such as sports memorabilia, vintage collectibles, or futuristic accents.
10. Acoustic Considerations
Minimize sound disruptions and enhance audio quality with proper acoustic considerations. Use sound-absorbing materials like carpets, curtains, or acoustic panels to reduce echoes and improve acoustics. Consider soundproofing walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent noise transfer between rooms.
Conclusion
Transform your Denver home into the ultimate entertainment destination with these essential tips from GJ Gardner Homes. By incorporating purposeful layout, immersive audio-visual technology, comfortable seating, and personalized decor, you can create a versatile and inviting entertainment space for relaxation and social gatherings. Whether you’re hosting movie nights, gaming tournaments, or casual get-togethers, our team is committed to helping you design and build the perfect entertainment room tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.

2024.05.16 16:47 Dora_youknowwho AEZ Quadratic Grant Kicks Off Round 2, With A Million Dollar Funding Secured from Cosmos Prop#917 and AADAO In the Next 24 Months

AEZ Quadratic Grant, a long-term initiative for funding public goods within the ATOM Economic Zone and Cosmos’ first-ever quadratic funding series for public goods, today announced the commencement of its second round. This round is backed by an 8,000 ATOM + $20,000 matching prize pool, notably provided by Cosmos Hub and ATOM Accelerator (AADAO) from Cosmos Prop#917. To apply for a grant, visit the AEZ Quadratic Grant homepage. This round’s BUIDL submission period goes from May 16 to July 3rd.
https://preview.redd.it/ahoth0arws0d1.png?width=1818&format=png&auto=webp&s=92e55b959b929703003c82f28eaf5d898dc47ecc
Following the passing of Cosmos Proposal #917, a substantial allocation of 80,000 ATOM has been secured, with over 99% of the voting Cosmos validators Yes/Abstain (among them 91.9% for Yes). This funding is set to support 10 successive rounds of quadratic funding grants at the AEZ Quadratic Grant, starting from Round 2 to Round 11. Additionally, with robust backing from AADAO, an extra $200,000 will also be committed to the prize pool, distributing $20,000 for each round to further empower the public good builders.

This million-dollar funding initiative will operate over the next 24 months, supporting early-stage public good projects and open source ventures within the ATOM Economic Zone, which is crucial for those builders who are yet unrecognized and unfunded, providing them with a platform and the resources to innovate and contribute to the Cosmos ecosystem and expand the AEZ.

Cosmos Prop#917

Public goods funding has always been of crucial importance to the Cosmos Hub’s stakeholders, undoubtedly. In Prop#917, 80,000 ATOM was requested for 24 months of a quadratic grant prize pool for public goods and new teams building on the Hub and within ATOM Economic Zone. Despite market fluctuations, such strategic funding ensures that the ecosystem remains strong and resilient, underpinned by a solid foundation of public goods.

Prop#917 is one of the most supported CosmosHub proposals to date. It received overwhelming support from the Cosmos community, including SG-1, Cosmostaion, Everstake, ZKV, Informal Systems, Stakecito, and many more. With a 56.2% turnout, over 99% of the voting validators voted yes or abstain (91.5% for yes). We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all who supported the AEZ ecosystem's public goods, reinforcing the collective commitment to a robust and innovative Web3 community.

AEZ Quadratic Grant

In AEZ Quadratic Grant Round 1, 8 public goods projects were funded with quadratic funding and will be continuously funded by the program until they stop developing or receive major funding. Meanwhile, more projects will enter the ongoing Round 2 (May 16–July 3rd for project applications) and following rounds to secure funding from the prize pool and the community. The program sets no limit for project categories; all types of AEZ public goods and open source ventures eligible to apply and potentially gets funded.
Public goods typically are not fully venture funded and usually do not have any discernible business model or way to commercialize, so decentralized community funding can often be the only path to survival. Some of the AEZ public goods the Cosmos Hub community could support include IBC infrastructures, NFT indexers, creative Cosmos SDK modules, developer toolings, emerging appchains, local communities / hackathon organizers, etc. Some projects might eventually evolve into venture-scale projects, some might remain non-profitable. The AEZ Quadratic Grant is set to support both types of early-stage teams, as long as the project is meaningful to the AEZ and the BUIDL team keeps improving its products.
What’s QF? Quadratic funding is an on-chain funding distribution mechanism based on the result of quadratic governance, an innovative governance scheme that is often considered an improvement of the traditional 1-person-1-vote or 1-dollar-1-vote model. With a quadratic voting algorithm, the power of each vote to a single project from a single contributor will decrease, which would prevent funding distribution from extreme preferences of whale voters.
As pioneers of QF implementation, Dora Factory and DoraHacks are one of the first to support on-chain quadratic funding on both EVM and non-EVM compatible blockchains. In 2023, Dora Factory and DoraHacks brought the first QF round to the Cosmos eco zone through an Archway QF round in October.

We firmly believe that even small contributions can help shape the future of the vast Cosmos ecosystem and ultimately give rise to new cornerstone applications. By actively participating in the Quadratic Grant, voters can play a vital role in shaping the future of Cosmos. Their contributions, regardless of their size, have the power to make a tangible impact on the distribution of the prize pool. For more details, please read Quadratic Funding and Voting Guide

2024.05.16 16:41 Dora_youknowwho AEZ Quadratic Grant Kicks Off Round 2, With 1 M Funding Secured from Cosmos Prop#917 and AADAO In the Next 24 Months

AEZ Quadratic Grant, a long-term initiative for funding public goods within the ATOM Economic Zone and Cosmos’ first-ever quadratic funding series for public goods, today announced the commencement of its second round. This round is backed by an 8,000 ATOM + $20,000 matching prize pool, notably provided by Cosmos Hub and ATOM Accelerator (AADAO) from Cosmos Prop#917. To apply for a grant, visit the AEZ Quadratic Grant homepage. This round’s BUIDL submission period goes from May 16 to July 3rd.

Following the passing of Cosmos Proposal #917, a substantial allocation of 80,000 ATOM has been secured, with over 99% of the voting Cosmos validators Yes/Abstain (among them 91.9% for Yes). This funding is set to support 10 successive rounds of quadratic funding grants at the AEZ Quadratic Grant, starting from Round 2 to Round 11. Additionally, with robust backing from AADAO, an extra $200,000 will also be committed to the prize pool, distributing $20,000 for each round to further empower the public good builders.

This million-dollar funding initiative will operate over the next 24 months, supporting early-stage public good projects and open source ventures within the ATOM Economic Zone, which is crucial for those builders who are yet unrecognized and unfunded, providing them with a platform and the resources to innovate and contribute to the Cosmos ecosystem and expand the AEZ.

Cosmos Prop#917

Public goods funding has always been of crucial importance to the Cosmos Hub’s stakeholders, undoubtedly. In Prop#917, 80,000 ATOM was requested for 24 months of a quadratic grant prize pool for public goods and new teams building on the Hub and within ATOM Economic Zone. Despite market fluctuations, such strategic funding ensures that the ecosystem remains strong and resilient, underpinned by a solid foundation of public goods.

Prop#917 is one of the most supported CosmosHub proposals to date. It received overwhelming support from the Cosmos community, including SG-1, Cosmostaion, Everstake, ZKV, Informal Systems, Stakecito, and many more. With a 56.2% turnout, over 99% of the voting validators voted yes or abstain (91.5% for yes). We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all who supported the AEZ ecosystem's public goods, reinforcing the collective commitment to a robust and innovative Web3 community.

Common Ground Books: Contemporary Queer Poetry Book Club: Time is a Mother. This month, we’ll be reading “Time is a Mother” by Ocean Vuong. “In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother's death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Vivid, brave and propulsive, Vuong's poems contend with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the value of joy in a perennially fractured American spirit. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky with Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment. Bold and prescient, and a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, Time is a Mother is a return and a forging-forth all at once.” 6pm

Hello everyone! BigHedDjango here, tunes for this week to help you out.

All feedback on tunes is appreciated - good or bad. Specially when tunes are bad. At the end of the day I am just the mechanic and you guys are the racers. Do not hesitate irrespective of your tuning knowledge or racing skills!
Tuning method: 1. Stock look - stock wheel rims and size, no aero (unless absolutely necessary for handling and stability) 2. Tuned for automatic/manual players by not skipping clutch+gearbox upgrades 3. Max performance with max handling possible 4. All cars tuned vs. Unbeatable AI, tracks/weather conditions are now unknown since time travel no longer works. Since release AI has been inconsistent between many car types and weather conditions, not every car will win 10/10 races vs Unbeatable AI without rewind/restart abuse 5. Bodykit used if it does not hurt performance

2024.05.16 15:41 FREEDOM55SIMS Just Announced Midsummer Studios Already Set to Release Demo this year 2024 of Their Upcoming Life Sim Game and Directly Calls Out The Sims. Jake Solomon Reveals More Gameplay Information in Various Interviews.

The founder of Midsummer Studios, Jake Solomon, has given us more information about the new life sim game with a demo due to release this year 2024!
He also directly calls out and confirms they are competing with the Sims. throws down the gauntlet.
He also gives us more information about the mystery game title:

“We’re at an interesting time as players of life sims,” Solomon said in a statement to Variety. “I thought I looked pretty smart over a year ago when I left my former studio and announced that I was going to make a life sim to compete with the long running (and really only show in town) ‘The Sims.’ Now, there are four or five (seemingly great) competitors being developed. Our difference is that we’re focused on story. Specifically, the story that the players write themselves just by playing the game. The player controls the story they want to tell, and in fact, when the game starts the player can choose from multiple “themes” that define their story. For example they can tell the game that they want to tell a story about finding their soulmate while also succeeding at their small town business.
“We use that information at game start to then generate an interesting cast of supporting characters and seed them with relationships that will instantly create a ‘narrative rich’ environment. If the player wants to tell a romantic story, then we might generate a cast where one person is an ex-lover AND a coworker, one is your high school sweetheart AND your neighbor, and one is your secret crush but also runs a rival business in town. In this way, the game already starts in an interesting place that our players will want to explore. Our players will be able to share the characters they create, the storylines they tell, and even entire towns that they have customized. We intend to have a community hub that allows players to easily upload their own creations and download the creations of other players right into their game.”
Solomon says Midsummer Studios plans “to grow slowly and to limit our overall studio size in order to make ourselves as flexible and efficient as possible, while giving our team a sustainable, steady place to work (which is no given in our current industry.)”
Midsummer has plans to reveal a demo in 2024 and later reveal a target launch date for the currently untitled life-sim game.

See rest of the article here

In an interview with PC Gamer, Midsummer Studios co-founder and creative director Jake Solomon divulged how his career making strategy games has actually always been building towards his longtime dream of a relationship simulator and his plans for a small town full of Gilmore Girls-style drama.
After working on Civilization games himself, the games Solomon later took creative lead on started to zoom in on characters and relationships with the ~soldier bond system in XCOM 2~, and then the ~friendship system~ in Marvel's Midnight Suns, a game he affectionately describes as his "little hero dating simulator" that he "lavished way too much attention on."
Now he says his dream as a designer has always been a game about high school and dating. "I think these things have always been kind of brewing in the back of my mind. And they've probably manifested in each game that I've designed," he says.
Midsummer Studios' first game sounds like it isn't solely about high school dating, but it's definitely all about the drama of personal relationships.The basics of Midsummer's yet-to-be-revealed game, as they stand, are this: You'll decide what kind of story you want to tell, whether it's about romance, family, or something else entirely, and the game will fill the town with characters and generate relationships between them—it almost sounds like starting a game of Dwarf Fortress. From a Sims-like overhead view of the world, you can play through a story divided into scenes where your character has wants and needs and has to juggle those relative to time, or you can go into a creative mode to inhabit any character you please, edit relationships, give orders, and play around in your sandbox.
"You're guiding a character through their daily life in a small town—and a small town is a very narrative rich environment," Solomon says. "Whether it's Gilmore Girls, which is the one I bring up maybe too often to my team, or it could be Stephen King … It's a narrative rich environment because everybody knows everybody."
Each scene is less about managing want meters as in The Sims series and more about juggling your character's motivations at any point in time. Scenes might have modifiers, like an unfortunate case of intestinal distress that will make your character want to go to the bathroom several times while trying to get through a date. If you aren't feeling the scene you're in though, creative mode lets you ditch the scene constraints entirely."We want the player to feel like they have enough things that they want to do in any particular scene but they can't possibly do all of them," Solomon says.
The idea is to create conditions that are ripe for generating "emergent stories," and though that's often a buzzword, Solomon has some specific ideas about what that means from his own time spent playing The Sims.
"I love The Sims. You play it and this amazing stuff happens. I'll be like: is my wife flirting with the old neighbor? What the fuck? And you want the game to be like: dun dun duuuuun!"
He envisions a game that recognizes when a dramatic moment is happening by understanding the relationships of everyone involved, and giving you a satisfying nod of the head for the drama you've managed to construct.
"The audience that we're interested in is the people, like if you go to Tumblr, they're the people who share the stories of their characters through screenshots and they do a lot of really, really incredible work," he says.
"What we're wrestling with right now is that there have to be some curated storylines but I think we want them to be very, very high level," he says, describing something that sounds a little like the events system in Crusader Kings 3, except with more dialogue. "The way we handle this is a character will come up to you and say 'oh I heard your father is back in town,' and this is a dialogue tree where the player has three very different options like 'I never want to talk to that man again' or 'yeah, he's here because he's getting married and I don't like his fiancee.'"
Solomon caveats this by saying that the details of all these systems are still being iterated on—adding that Midsummer Studios currently has 11 members and expects to become just 13 "for another year or so." It's clear the studio is already playing with very early prototypes of everything he describes, but it's a lot of very high-concept talk right now. I can't picture exactly how this game will play, but I do like where his head's at.
With all this talk about the live drama of a life sim, what about the build mode folks like me? Solomon says they want to eventually have decoration and interior redesigns and building your house from scratch, but as for having those things in for the initial launch he's not so confident. "Our guiding star is the idea of relationships and story and so that allows us to kind of deprioritize other features."
As much as the XCOM guy pivoting to a life sim warrants a double take, he does seem to get Sims players, referencing popular ~Sims 4 mods~ like Wicked Whims and the differences between Alpha and Maxis Match custom content.
As for the potential of a modding community for this game, Solomon is enthusiastic, saying he believes that mods are "essential," though isn't positive yet on the exact details around the level of support and tools Midsummer will share with players.

https://youtu.be/EK_x3YkE8-E
Intresting Things to note about Midsummer Studios

They hired Grant Rodiek who was a lead Producer in the Sims franchise since the Sims 2, although some of you may know him for his controversial response and weird takes on Twitter as Simguru Grant for the Sims 4. He was the Game Director of Project Rene (what many believe to WIP Sims 5) and publically and abruptly quit Maxis & Electronic Arts 3 months ago.
Their Team is small and consists of other former The Sims, Civilization and Xcom developers

-Krafton is the publisher for another Sims competitor life sim, InZoi and they are one of the funds funding Midsummer Studio. This adds legitimacy to Krafton is coming for the Sims Franchise and EA by any means necessary. They are clearly invested.
Discussion: What do you think about Solomon's overall vision for his Life Sim and his focus on relationships? Are you familiar with his previous work?Do you think him and the team have a enough experience with The Sims and life simulators to understand what players want? Are you excited for the release of the demo and announcement of the full release? What do you think of this unexpected news of a demo and the seemingly speedy time line? What are your thoughts in general?
These last 2 years have been a sim renaissance! Exciting time to be a life sim gamer because years ago this would have been unimaginable. I love the competition to the Sims, it will force the Sims franchise, and the overall Life Sim genre to innovate. Big deal since there was very little competition to none until recently.

2024.05.16 10:18 AnnihilatorUk Whole home audio with Russsound Cav 6.6 and HA

Hello everyone,
I'm currently facing a challenging issue with integrating a Russound CAV 6.6 (circa 2006) into my Home Assistant setup that's running on a VirtualBox hosted on Windows 10. The device itself is operational—I can play audio and interact with it using PC tools. The Home Assistant environment is also up and running smoothly; it's even connected to my Alexa without any problems.
However, the integration of the Russound CAV 6.6 has been problematic, and neither manual nor repository methods have been successful. Here are the details of what I've tried and the problems I've encountered:

Manual Integration Attempt:
- Following the manual integration steps (link below), I tried to add the Russound CAV 6.6. Unfortunately, the installation process fails every time, and I suspect there might be an issue with my configuration or perhaps a missing step that I'm not aware of.

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/control-russound-ca-66-on-hassos-with-rnet-using-ser2net-and-portaine273600

Repository Integration Attempt:
- I attempted to add the integration through the repository. This method resulted in an error (details below) and similarly failed to initiate the installation.

Cmd(‘git’) failed due to: exit code(128) cmdline: git clone -v –recursive –depth=1 –shallow-submodules – Ser2Net-for-Russound/Ser2Net-for-Russound/ha-addons at master · biochemguy/Ser2Net-for-Russound · GitHub /data/addons/git/8bf4a35a stderr: ‘Cloning into ‘/data/addons/git/8bf4a35a’… fatal: repository ‘Ser2Net-for-Russound/Ser2Net-for-Russound/ha-addons at master · biochemguy/Ser2Net-for-Russound · GitHub’ not found ’

Configuration and Setup:
- VirtualBox is running the latest version of Home Assistant and everything has been updated to the latest version, enabled the usb to serial on the virtual box,

Given these challenges, I am seeking guidance on several points:

Are there known compatibility issues with the Russound CAV 6.6 that could be affecting its integration with Home Assistant?
Could the serial port configuration in VirtualBox be interfering with the connection to the Russound device?
Are there specific logs or diagnostic tools within Home Assistant that might help pinpoint what's going wrong during the integration attempts?

The one thing I don’t know how to check is what port the Russound is using over serial is set to 3333.
My configuration.yaml is this Media_player:
Platform: russound_rnet Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 3333 Name: Russound Zones: 1: Name: Main Bedroom 2: Name: Living Room 3: Name: Kitchen 4: Name: Bathroom 5: Name: Dining Room 6: Name: Guest Bedroom 7: Name: Basement Recroom Sources: Name: Computer
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I navigate these integration hurdles.
Thank you all in advance for your assistance! Anni

2024.05.16 09:53 No_Lingonberry_1774 Why is Hervey Bay considered the Whale Watching Capital of Australia?

What if you could visit a great destination along the Queensland coast, celebrated worldwide as the ultimate haven for whale enthusiasts? A beautiful coastal area known as the "Whale Watching Capital of Australia," where people come from all over to see the amazing annual migration of humpback whales. Yes, there's your chance to spot humpback whales from the whale watching capital of Australia. We are talking about the journey to none other than the famous Hervey Bay - an incredible opportunity for anyone who wants to watch these wondrous whales up close!
Hervey Bay is an important spot for whale watching because of where it is located - between Fraser Island and the mainland. This location is right along the path that humpback whales take during their migration. This means that as these whales journey along the East Coast of Australia, they pass through or near Hervey Bay. The bay's location makes it a key stopping point for humpback whales during their migration, providing them with a sheltered and calm environment to rest. The whales take advantage of the bay's favorable conditions before continuing their journey. That's why Hervey Bay whale watching is considered one of the best experiences of Australian tourism! So, let's get to know this place a little more and the reasons why it is regarded as one of the top most whale watching destinations in the country.
It's Prime Whale-Watching Season
From July to November is the peak season for whale watching in Hervey Bay. This is when humpback whales migrate along the coast, turning the bay into a bustling hub of activity. The whales can be seen playing and swimming in the clear waters, making it the perfect time to witness them. If you're planning a visit to Hervey Bay, make sure to come during these months for the best chance to spot these amazing mammals in action. This prime whale watching season is one of the compelling reasons why Hervey Bay is renowned as a top destination for whale enthusiasts.
Hervey Bay's Whale Species
Humpback whales are the main attraction during Hervey Bay whale watching season. However, you might also catch a glimpse of other whale species like minke whales and sometimes southern right whales. This diversity of whale species makes whale watching in Hervey Bay even more exciting and enriching. Afterall that's the charm of a marine paradise right? Each species brings its own characteristics to your adventure!
Peak Quality of Tour Operators
Hervey Bay boasts a variety of whale watching operators, each known for their quality tours led not by ordinary people but knowledgeable marine biologists and naturalists. These operators offer diverse experiences, from educational insights into whale behavior to responsible viewing practices that prioritize the well-being of the whales. Imagine getting to know all about the species and also receiving apt instructions to make your tour all the more efficient! Joining on a whale watching cruise with these reputable operators is a compelling reason to choose Hervey Bay as your whale watching destination. The experienced guides share fascinating facts about the whales and their habitat, creating an enriching experience for visitors. Whale watching cruises often use specialized vessels equipped with viewing decks and underwater microphones, enhancing the chances of spotting and listening to whales. These tours prioritize the safety and comfort of guests while providing unforgettable encounters with these magnificent marine creatures.
Conservation and Economic Impact of Whale Tourism
Hervey Bay is a prime example of eco-friendly tourism, with a strong focus on whale conservation and sustainable practices. Local organizations and tour operators are actively engaged in research and conservation efforts to protect whales and preserve their habitats. These initiatives not only ensure the well-being of marine ecosystems but also educate visitors about the importance of environmental stewardship.
In short, with its ideal location, diverse marine life, and commitment to conservation, Hervey Bay represents responsible whale tourism at its best, making it the top choice for anyone interested in exploring the ocean's wonders!

2024.05.16 09:39 FancyInvestment397 MetaWin Review: Anonymous Provably Fair Crypto Casino, Is it Legit?

MetaWin is a Crypto Casino that delivers anonymous & provably fair gambling by allowing users to connect a Ethereum wallet to access slots, table games, live dealers & more.
MetaWin Crypto Casino
As a fully decentralized platform, MetaWin allows you to gamble without ever creating an account or providing any personal information.
This cutting-edge approach delivers complete privacy while giving you access to a great selection of games, generous competitions, and opportunities to win valuable NFTs.
Here’s our full review …
MetaWin Review

Casino Games

Roulette

MetaWin offers authentic European roulette experiences with a house edge of just 2.7%. Place your bets on numbers, colors, odds/evens and more as the ball spins around the wheel. The classy European format has just a single zero to contend with.

Blackjack

Test your blackjack skills at MetaWin’s tables powered by Pragmatic Play. Several variants are available including Classic Blackjack, Double Exposure, and Azure Blackjack with unique rule tweaks. Payouts can reach 3:2 on natural blackjacks.

Plinko

This skill-based game involves dropping a plinko disc down a pyramid of pegs. Make precision drops to increase your chances of the disc landing in higher paying slots at the bottom for bigger prizes.

Baccarat

The classic casino game of baccarat offers some of the best odds at MetaWin. Back the Player or Banker hand as cards are dealt, with ties resulting in a push. Player bets pay 1:1 while Banker bets have a slightly higher 0.95:1 payout.

Live Casino

For a truly immersive experience, MetaWin lets you join real human dealers streamed in HD quality. Enjoy live baccarat, roulette, blackjack and more game show experiences like Mega Wheel directly from studio floors.

Other Products

Competitions

These are essentially blockchain-based lotteries with prize pools funded by ticket purchases. However, the results are determined transparently by smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain rather than a traditional lottery draw.
Each competition has a set number of tickets available for purchase at different price tiers. For example, you might be able to get 50 entries for 0.012 ETH or go bigger with 2,000 entries for 0.36 ETH.
The smart contracts then randomly select the winning tickets/wallets in a fully auditable and verifiable manner thanks to the transparency of the blockchain ledger.

Current competitions offer prize pools ranging from a couple of ETH up to jackpots worth thousands of dollars. And best of all, MetaWin provides every player with one free ticket just for joining the Telegram community!
By harnessing blockchain technology, MetaWin competitions guarantee true randomness and fairness that is open for verification by anyone. It adds an exciting crypto twist to lottery-style games.

NFT Prizes

In addition to ETH prizes, some MetaWin competitions let you win valuable NFT collectibles from popular collections like Beanz and Killabears that trade on marketplaces like OpenSea.
MetaWin NFTs
There’s even the ability to gain entries into these special NFT competitions by holding certain requisite NFTs from the collection. It’s an innovative way to engage existing NFT fans and collectors.
With NFTs being all the rage, scoring rare and valuable pieces through MetaWin’s smart competitions adds an element of gamification that blends perfectly with crypto gambling.

Welcome Bonuses

While most online casinos offer a standard deposit match bonus, MetaWin takes a different approach that’s tailored to its innovative blockchain competitions. Here’s how it works:
As soon as you connect your crypto wallet to MetaWin, you’ll automatically receive 1 free ticket entry to the current big prize competition running at the time.
For example, the most recent competition had a prize pool of 5 ETH (over $9,000 at current prices!). Just by signing up, you get a free lottery ticket for a chance to win that huge prize.
But MetaWin doesn’t stop there. You can then purchase additional entries at discounted rates to increase your odds significantly:

50 additional entries for 0.012 ETH
165 additional entries for 0.036 ETH
780 additional entries for 0.156 ETH
2,000 additional entries for 0.36 ETH

As you can see, the more entries you purchase, the bigger the discount per entry. So maximizing your investment can pay off massively if you hit that smart contract jackpot.
With each new competition cycle, the prize pools reset with new opportunities to win big payouts or rare NFTs just for joining.

How to Signup

Rather than a traditional account registration process, MetaWin just requires you to connect a cryptocurrency wallet to get started. Here are the steps:

Visit the MetaWin website on your desktop or mobile device.
Click the “Connect Wallet” button at the top.
Choose which crypto wallet you want to use – MetaWin supports MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and over 300 other wallets through WalletConnect.
For MetaMask, just approve the connection request in the wallet window that pops up.
For WalletConnect, you’ll be shown a QR code to scan with your mobile wallet app.
That’s it! Your wallet is now connected to MetaWin.

The connected wallet acts as your secure MetaWin account. Deposits and withdrawals happen instantly by transferring ETH to/from your wallet address. You can also participate in competitions and purchase entries directly from your wallet balance.
It’s a seamless and 100% anonymous process thanks to MetaWin’s decentralized blockchain platform. Sign up literally takes seconds while providing top-notch privacy and security.

Design & Usability

MetaWin has a clean and modern website design that makes it easy to navigate the platform’s different sections like slots, table games, live casino, and competitions. The minimalist user interface puts the focus squarely on the games and features, creating an uncluttered experience.
That said, the website can feel a bit bare-bones at times due to its stripped-back, decentralized nature. There aren’t a ton of flashy graphics or extraneous visual elements, which some users may see as a pro or con depending on their preferences.

The use of WebGL and live animations does give the game lobbies a more dynamic feel, while still maintaining performance nicely across devices. You’ll see things like the roulette wheel spinning in the background as you browse game options.
Usability is well thought out, with handy filter and sorting options that let you quickly find the type of game you’re looking for, whether that’s Megaways slots, specific table games like baccarat, or titles from certain providers. The favorites system is also convenient for keeping your preferred games organized.
For a Web3 crypto platform, MetaWin has achieved a great balance between an easy-to-use interface and giving users all the benefits of blockchain like transparency and verifiability.

Members Area

MetaWin takes a unique approach to its “members area” by leveraging blockchain technology and crypto wallets. Rather than a traditional account system, your Ethereum wallet essentially becomes your MetaWin account when you connect it to the platform.
Once your wallet like MetaMask is securely linked, you’ll have access to MetaWin’s full suite of games, competitions, and features. Your wallet address serves as your identifier, with all transactions, winnings, tickets, and NFT prizes directly deposited to your wallet’s balance.
The members area experience is quite stripped back compared to conventional online casinos. There are no bloated account sections or pages full of personal details and payment info. Everything is kept anonymous through your encrypted wallet connection.

However, you still get a handy dashboard view that lets you track your gameplay activity, competition entries, current wallet balance, and any NFTs you may have won. This members overview area provides all the essential data you need about your MetaWin gaming in a clean, easy-to-digest interface.
You can also quickly jump to the game lobbies, hop into competitions, purchase additional entries, or withdraw winnings straight from this main account area with just a couple clicks. It’s a lean experience free of clutter, putting the focus on gaming and prizes.

Mobile Offering

Rather than having dedicated iOS or Android apps, MetaWin has been optimized to work seamlessly on mobile web browsers across all devices and operating systems.
Simply navigate to the MetaWin website from your smartphone or tablet’s web browser and you’ll be automatically loaded into the mobile-friendly version of the platform.
The entire site has been designed responsively to provide an ideal user experience no matter the screen size or aspect ratio. All the games, features, and account areas translate perfectly to mobile layouts.
You’ll be able to easily browse game lobbies, with smart filtering and sorting options that make finding your preferred slots, tables, or live dealer games a breeze on mobile. Game launches are lightning fast with no bulky plugins required.

Connecting your crypto wallet like MetaMask is just as straightforward on mobile as desktop. Most mobile wallets can simply scan the provided QR code for effortless linking to MetaWin.
From there, you can make instant deposits, purchase competition entries, gamble, and cash out winnings all within your mobile browser. No downloads or installs needed – just MetaWin’s sleek mobile web interface.
The clean, stripped-back design philosophy helps deliver an incredibly smooth and lightweight user experience optimized for mobile data and connectivity.

Ease of Use

One of MetaWin’s biggest strengths is its sheer simplicity and ease of use. The entire platform has been designed around providing an effortless web3 gambling experience that leverages the advantages of blockchain technology.
Getting started takes just seconds. There’s no lengthy signup process or account registrations. All you need to do is connect your existing Ethereum wallet like MetaMask to the MetaWin website with a couple clicks. Your wallet acts as your secure, anonymous ID.
From there, the user experience is extremely intuitive. The clean website layout makes it easy to find and filter through the various game lobbies for slots, tables, live casino, and more. Descriptions and instructions are clear and straightforward.
Actually placing wagers is as simple as can be, with no convoluted payment flows. Since you’re betting with the ETH already loaded in your connected wallet, you can start playing games instantly. Winnings are automatically credited back to your wallet’s balance.
Purchasing entries for the innovative blockchain competitions works in the same seamless fashion. You can buy tickets directly from your wallet balance with just a few clicks.
Withdrawing is also hassle-free with no lengthy cashout periods. You can instantly transfer your ETH winnings from MetaWin directly back into your personal crypto wallet whenever desired.

Customer Support

Despite its streamlined, decentralized approach, MetaWin does not sacrifice quality customer service. Players have multiple channels to get timely assistance whenever needed.

Email Support

For general inquiries or more complex issues, you can email the MetaWin support team directly at [support@metawin.com](mailto:support@metawin.com). They strive to respond to all emails within 24 hours during normal operating hours.

FAQ Section

MetaWin also provides a comprehensive FAQ hub covering common questions about the site’s features, security, games, and more. This is an excellent self-service resource for quickly finding answers to basic queries on your own.
