Hey, fellow Sifu disciples! New to reddit. Do any other players use these mods for the story and/or arenas? I've seen 1ManArmy (shoutout, friend!) and Hiro post videos with it. Full disclosure: I also dabble in this amped difficulty on my youtube channel, though I'm not here to promote as much as I am to interact with a community that centers on this game.
I go by screenwriterdave on YouTube (I'm stuck with AardvarkSimilar on Reddit). If anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/0YJOQT7HU5U?si=zDtxg3CxDpCGsN0b
What are everyone's thoughts on Unlimited Threats? Stronger Enemies? In general?
Where's everyone at in the game?

Welcome to "The Bucks Stops Here" where we are going to do an expose on Star Wars Galaxies (Legends) primary Credit Grinding practices, locations, and issues! That's right - no more heavily guarded secrets, the truth hereforth shall be known for all to partake.
​
Problem Statement: The player economy in Star Wars Galaxies since the early 2000s has always been borked, this is even true for SWTOR as well. For the past several years, Legends staff have been doing their best to curb bad actors in the economy - but as well all know, veteran or new, that access to and division of credits is obtuse at best due to Gatekeeping.
​
The largest problem, which has always held back our player community from expanding is: ACCESS. For all too long the greedy, the venturists, and the smug have held on tightly to the method of acquisition, locations for acquisitions, and the economy itself by exploiting the share of credits to mainpulate as many markets as possible. This has stifled, if not completely prevented new arrivals from enjoying the game. Those who stay cannot/have a hard time prospering without acquiescing to those who exploit and leverage economic controls (Gatekeepers).
​
The single largest problem is GREED, and not in the way you would think, but rather - Credit Sellers. Besides purposefully exploiting the in-game economy to make desirable items nearly impossible to access (other than Supply & Demand which happens naturally). Unlike live however, this credit selling comes from within the community itself (not chinese agencies running bots). This is largely perpetrated by players you would rarely ever see, or hear of unless you're in the "right circles", or have "deep cash/crypto pockets". Credits have been sold for 2-3$ or more on sites, with people just blately advertising their amounts and offers, and thanking clients publically, as recently as last month.
​
​
Credentials & Experience: First and foremost, I worked on these types of issues with SOE on live - which included investigations, tracing, surveillance in/out of game and much more. I played from launch until a month before closing. I've since played (ugh) SWTOR since, and been on Legends since 2017, amongst many other titles i've played and/or worked on. Further, I myself am a dev (not related to SWG), and have observed/experienced these issues as they developed over time on Legends (although it is not limited to Legends, all games pretty much have this problem except maybe ff14).
The devs here have done a great job to curb most economic exploits and issues, with major attention applied in recent months that have had a severe and obvious impact that benefits the community as a whole. All in all, this equates to 20+ years of experience inside and outside the game and the community as a whole. I've also spent much of my time on Legends working towards developing community to the best of my ability when and where I can.
= = = =
​
"The Buck Stops Here" is intended to be used as a Universal Resource that will approach underlying issues, while at the same time explore all the options and preparation needed to be able to participate in the economy and ultimately the game without feeling bad, exploited or otherwise "less" than others. We will not however make this a witch hunt, will not make this about staff (they are helping), nor will we be here to dredge up history, rumors, or otherwise depraved things.
​
This post and the posts that follow will serve as a resource - what you as the community do with it is completely up to you. Failing to utilize this guide will empower bad actors to further exploit knowledge, rather than having the info end up in the right hands - the exploited and downtrodden within the community. This post and all that follow serve to empower you so you can further experience SWG to its fullest, and to prevent you from having to pay Gatekeepers for a resource that is easy, free, and available to all.
​
To make my point, there are locations that generate from 300million to 600million credits A MONTH, equating to 10-20mil credits daily. This is available to anyone AND everyone, good, bad or indifferent. Right here, right now.
​
With that being said, there is no uniformity across locations. Each place has its various caveats. Some are more suited to newer players, others are suited to geared players, others are suited to large partying - ideally between friends/guildmates. Understanding this, we will also build a guide on self-preparation, a topic that is constantly complained about by new players on discord - how to get started, where to go, etc. This type of information is not easily found, and is obfuscated intentionally to "keep the poor - poor, and the rich - rich".
= = = =
Before delving into this further, a basic understanding of economic classes, game theory and philosophy should be understood before deep diving. Given the Western Nature of the game and the west's capitalistic roots, class system philosophy should be taken into mind, as it applies into the game theory of how SWG breaks down. The philosophy is imperialistic, with a tinge of rebellion (as it should be for this time frame).
​
Lower Class: The lower class is restricted the best it can be so they have to constantly overpay and live on the edge of what little they can acquire. The means of production is not even a thought to most, its just about getting by day by day.
​
Middle Class: The middle class have some capital from which to operate. Most generally operate closer to the principles applied to the poor class, however those wise enough or have time enough to sit and think, and educate themselves - realize that they need to apply their limited capital to acquire greater longer term success, including acquiring means of production. Think living paycheck versus investment and stocks.
​
Upper Class: The wealthy. They have it all, and will likely do what they can to keep it that way. They understand controlling the means of production and maintaining their capital to continue to grow and succeed. They choose to live off their investments rather than on the day to day, and on the backs of others. They understand how the financial funnel works and exploit it / leverage it to their benefit. Mrals/Ethis are for the poor, power is right is their philosophy.
​
Each of these class type stereotypes is Imperialistic in nature. Further, capitalism is one of the foundational pillars for imperialism, hence why legends is the way it is - it has largely been under imperial control for the most of its lifespan. As we have seen with the way the economy tanked on swg live, and then now on swtor, we can understand more about why - due to the way economics work in an imperialistic environment.
The first thing imperials guilds do, is secure the means of creation in swg. First they seek out the locations that generate credits - super easy to accomplish, especially when done in coordination. Second is the means of production, in this case - resources. These two pillars are what underlays most of the game and its economy. Simple Game Theory.
Players can trade creds sure, but those who control the nodes that GENERATE CREDITS have the POWER. The same speaks for those who control production, aka RESOURCES. Sure we can buy/trade/sell those things, but those who control their ACQUISITION and GENERATION have the POWER.
Now sure anyone can do this, but the point being is that for 7+ years now, a controlled, intentful focus on acquiring these types of POWER (and there are others) leads to the ability to manipulate the prices on the market. Now other illegal means of acquiring these things have happened as well, which also snowballed the issue greatly. Game Theory, and large scale coordination/conspiracy.
​
- Taking your power back. The only way to recover, heal, and balance the process - is to TAKE YOUR POWER back. None of these nodes are able to be owned by anyone. However a widespread controlled effort to control these means of production (A Valid Strategy of course) requires a counter effort of the same. Unless you want to play other games because u cant get by here, or if you feel the need to drop money on these power mongers (risky), everyone needs to engage on both an individual and a collective approach - FIGHT BACK against the monopolization of these resources. This game isn't for the feint of heart - to really acquire and enjoy things, you'll need to be focused on pushing back against the Gatekeepers.
Easier said than done, but its this journey that will make the Legends experience even more satisfying than even. (This ultimately applies to real life as well)

==STEPS GUIDE==
The following information will cover most of the basics on how to prepare and start this process - both for yourself and your guildmates/community. (If you are a veteran, you can easily skip to the intermediate or expert prep tips).
​
Beginner: (0-20 million)

1. Ideally make a Discord Account if you haven't already.
   tip: prepare yourself to receive false or inaccurate information to sway you away
   
2. Once you have made your characters, get out of the dog pen that is Mos Eisley.
   tip: if you plan to level manually, do the legacy quest here first
   
3. Determine how to spec all five of your characters (can have 3 logged in at once)
   tip: 3 combat characters and 2 support (Entertainer and a Crafter)
   
4. Determine which Combat character you should use your level 90 instant token on
   tip: Make a lv90 medic/bm, which can then carry your other two combat characters
   
5. Gear Up - This will be covered in an article in the future - weapon, armor, buffs, items
   tip: join a guild that offers crafted gears and supplies and helps newer people
   
6. Flash Speeder - Everyone gets a free 2 seater vehicle, type "/flash" to receive yours.
   tip: You can get replacement flash speeders for 20k each time u type it
   tip: for under 200k, you can now get speeder kits that max all values of speed/turn etc
   
7. Beast Mastery - Beasts are an amazing addition to any player, let noone sway you on this.
   tip: Tortons are excellent starter pets. Check the Beast Master tab on discord.
   tip: I will be writing an entire article on Beast Mastery to help everyone understand
   
8. Spec & Respec - You can change your characters class and spec for free several times
   tip: There are three types of stored exp: Combat, Entertainer and Crafter
   tip: Respeccing too many times costs $$$ but you get 1 downgrade per month in cost
   
9. Pre-Quests - To Get Heroic Jewelry, you will need to do Heroics. Pre-quests are required.
   tip: Grab a friend, or schedule a group approach to make this easy. Cl90 required
   
10. Understanding Buffs - You can selfbuff with class and items, also Entertain, Officer & Medic
    tip: Get Medic Buffs in the Med Center for an additional 30 minutes on the timer
    tip: Entertainer Buff "Second Chance" heals you when you get hit, a must have
    

​
Intermediates (20-50million)

1. Focus - Stats and Utility is what makes the game possible. Flair and Fancy/Skins later
   
2. 35's Attachments - Once you have good armor, a set of 35s costs about 7.5 million.
   
3. Capped Weapons - Good Capped Weapons can now cost under 1 million credits.
   tip: Expensive weapons in the dozens of millions are skins, get the base skin for savings
   
4. 60 pt DPS Pet - Once youve levelled, seek out a more powerful pet to add to your repoitre
   tip: Check the Beast Master channel on Discord, many times newer players can receive
   
5. Sell your Stuff - Unless youre a hoarder or sentimental, sell your stuff! Advertise!
   tip: Theme Park Rewards, Veteran Rewards, and Heroic drops sell for Millions
   
6. Lots - Each character receives 10 Lots. Use houses for storage, and harvesters for Materials
   tip: Certain houses have more storage than others per lot, research these.
   tip: consider renting your lots, this was a major income on live fyi!
   
7. Transport Hubs - Certain cities on various planets use vast networks of At-At Heads
   tip: Find Cauth Bodva on Rori, its the best starter HUB!
   
8. Entertainer & Crafter - Use Crafter to setup a Vendor and sell stuff. Buff people as Ent $$$
   tip: Ent takes 5ish hours to level, Crafter takes a couple hours, Only costs 250k ~
   
9. Do Bespin Theme Park for your first big ingestion of credits 13-17mil per character
   tip: You can repeat on opposite faction, and/or delete character to redo on new!
   
10. Junk Loot & Multi-statted Clothing - As you begin to afk farm, stack these and sell as bulk
    tip: 3 or 4 statted clothing is ideal. Players have excel sheets of desirable junk in stacks
    

Expert: (50Million+)

1. Niche Markets - Begin to research and focus on niche markets for your combats and crafter
   tip: Attachments is prob best Crafter niche. Combat is greta for DWB PLC/BL.
   
2. Space Combat - Join a Squadron and work on Master Pilot. Drops can be very lucrative.
   tip: certain squadrons are harder than others to Ace, research which works best.
   
3. Bespin Arena: Daily 1man, 2man and 4man event per character. Very lucrative. 30 mins~
   tip: Pets help smash faster, get the floor buffs when you can, and go glass cannon
   
4. PvP: Not my favorite but can be lucrative as pvp tokens for items are in demand.
   tip: Thursday nights is pvp night, I believe Bespin for the tokens on top of reg tokens
   
5. Events & Activities - Pay attention, events are fun, but also reward awesome stuff!
   tip: Get extra per event, and hold for 3-6 months, then resell for markup
   
6. ITV's - Secret of the Syren Quest rewards a multiuse teleport item. Geo Sailor is to home.
   tip: Snowspeeder ITVs can be bought, and Ace Pilot rewards Homing Beacon
   
7. Determine Desired Path of Production - Figuring out if you want to be say a Geneticist, or a Crafter for Attachments, or a Specific type of Weapon/Armorsmith or even Space/Droid Crafting. Then, acquiring the underlying means of Production is key to becoming solvent.
   
8. Exchange/Trade - Get as much of what you need by ex/trade. This maintains your purchasing power, thus allowing you to buy the harder to get stuff, while trading for common with your less used stuff that others may need.
   
9. Buy Low / Sell High - One of the fun aspects of SWG (when possible) is buying and selling stuff for a profit. Learn the market and find niche uses and make some money doing that, or better farm sellables. Jedi's for example need pearls, always, so farm some Krayts and profit.
   
10. Look out for Deals - Often on the bazaar and in discord, players will be selling various wares for cheaper than market. Keep your eye out for rares, and stuff thats bartable at 25% or more discount. Tis can help you get ahead, and acquire things that players no longer playing sell, thus keeping it in the community.
    

​

​
Macros - What you need to know, and how-to - the first steps towards independence:
​
You need approximately 4 combat macros to successfully afk farm, additionally if you are leading a group, you will need 2 additional invite/alias macros. Optionally, you can use a join macro if you are a party member for odd instances.
​
First, familiarize yourself with the Legends AFK Policy, alot of people have misconceptions about what is/or is not allowable. The policy is robust and has been refined over the years. It is located at this link:
https://swglegends.com/forums/showthread.php?32679-AFK-Policy
Please keep in mind there are various interpretations and various custom macros out there - below are the most generic and can be (and should be), adjusted as necessary. Regardless, these work "out of the box" as long as your abilities are in similar slots.
Now here is the juicy stuff, Macros:
​

Index:
1. Targeting (c)
2. Attacks (y)
3. Buffs (b)
4. Heals (h)
​
5. SWG Alias (Alias)
6. SWG Invite (Invite2)
7. Join (j)
​
8. Advertisement (ad)
9. BeastFeeder (f)
​
=============
MACRO LIST =============

1. Targeting (cycles outward from your closest target, includes command to tell your pet to attack, if you do not own or want to use your pet this way, simply cut the 2nd portion of the macro off)

​
Title: c
Macro:
​
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/pause 1;
/ui action petToolbarSlot0;
/pause 1;
/macro c
​

1. Attacks (player commands to perform on current target)

​
Title: y
Macro:
​
/ui action toolbarSlot12;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot13;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot14;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot15;
/pause 1;
/macro y
​
​

1. Buffs (Activates class buffs from toolbar, avoid consumables)

​
Title: b
Macro:
​
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 60;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 60;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause 60;
/macro b
​
​

1. Heals (Commands to self heal, heal others, and beast heals/rez)

​
Title: h
Macro:
​
/ui action toolbarSlot23;
/pause 10;
/ui action toolbarSlot22;
/pause 10;
/ui action toolbarSlot21;
/pause 10;
/ui action toolbarSlot20;
/pause 10;
/macro h
​

​
For those wishing to run their own afk grind group - the following two macros are provided in the afk policy. However it doesn't explain much about how to use them. Simple activate Macro "alias" first (this is to set the alias), the activate macro "invite2". Make sure to adjust it to match your characters name, and to establish wait period inbetween invite cycles (I generally suggest 300, which is a 5 minute window).
​

1. Macro - Alias

​
Title: alias
Macro:
/alias ll /invite
​
(Context: You simply just type "/macro alias" into your chatbar once to activate this.)
​

1. Macro - AutoInvite

Title: invite2
Macro:
/ui action startChatReply; /ui action chatCursorHome; /ui action chatCursorRight; /ui action chatDelete; /ui action chatDelete; /ui action chatEnter; /tell [your name] Auto Invite is running....; <---- replace with your characters first name, delete the brackets /pause 8; /macro invite2;
​
(Context: make sure to edit your name in and remove the extras. Run this once after running alias to activate it)

​
Now not everyone should be running a party, nor should everyone want to. In the case you are in areas where instability fluctuates in party design, server connection etc - you can/should always be running a "Join" macro on each of your characters. That way if a party disbands, or the server comes down, you can simply be added to someone else's party.
​

1. Join Macro (Optional)

​
Title: j
Macro:
/join; /pause 120; /disband; /macro join;
​
(Context: If only needing to be in the area a short time, keep disband. If you are seeking for long term party addition, take out the disband part)

​
Now there are two more optional/useful macros that can be set for a wide variety of things, and can also be utilized in afk grinding if needed.
​

1. Advertisement Macro (useful for party leaders)(optional)

​
Title: ad
Macro:
/say Auto-invite is on a 5 minute timer. Please send tell and wait for the auto-invite to respond. If we are full, you will not be able to receive an invite.
/pause 60;
/macro ad
​
​

1. Beast Feeder (If you do not own an auto-feeder ~10mil $$$)

​
Title: f
Macro:
/ui action toolbarSlot10;
/pause 7200;
/macro f;
​
​
Context: Beasts generally get hungry every couple of hours. You'll have to determine which is your beast's favorite food, and then put it in the appropiate toolbar slot. This only applies if you don't own an auto-beast feeder which will feed your pet as long as it has a stack any time it is hungry.
​

​
Now remember, it is EASY to mess these up. Making sure the semi-colon is at the end of each line is integral to making a macro work. You need to type "/macro" at the end to ensure it loops and it has to match the title such as "/macro j" for the join macro.
​
*Pause creates a space of time before the next command. You can adjust these, but be careful. Ideally you want to time them to when you want them to fire off, if you make too many too fast, they will both eat your action cost, and will block each other out. This is why I put the cycletarget macro at 1 second along with the pet being 2 seconds total while combat cycles each of 4 abilities at one second each.
​
*The buff macro and heal macro are also at larger intervals - 60 seconds for each buff, and 10 seconds for each of the heal functions. Honestly you can just use self-heal, and beast heal, and cycle them every five seconds, so that you dont have a 40 second wait period. However that is up to each player to determine.
​
​
****** To CANCEL all your active macros, type "/dump" minus the quotes.*****\*
You cannot cancel a single macro, so remember to re-initialize each, every single time. Also, if you are running an auto-invite macro, understand it can cause issues with chat responses, typing and active chat, so be advised.
​

Pro-Tip: Make a Macro that initializes all of the macros you want to initialize simultaneously.
Example:
Title: m
Macro:
/macro c;
/pause 1;
/macro y;
/pause 1;
/macro h;
/pause 1;
/macro b;
/pause 1;
/macro j;
/pause 1;
/afk
​
​
Context: This macro will initialize all 4 basic attack scenario macros, and then set your status to afk. Especially useful when triple boxing. There is no loop, since each of these macros initialize their own loops.

​
Understanding your toolbar(s):
​
Currently the game offers 3 visible toolbars. First is the double stack (expand to a second row via options) We also now have a third toolbar, which is vertical. Most people, especially starters will not use all of these, but they are there. Additionally, if you own a pet, there is a separate pet toolbar. Using this toolbar via macros is a lesser known method, but easy to explain.
​
Toolbars are coded 1 number under which position they are in, with 12 slots per row. Generally with an expanded two row bar, I put my buffs and incidentals on the bottom row, and my attacks and heals on the top row. Now to explain how they macro, simply they works as follows (as seen in the macros above)
​
​
/ui action toolbarSlot11
​
​
This will fire the ability or item in the bottom right slot of the lower toolbar. Its the 12th slot, but is coded as 11. This is how the toolbars are coded:
​
12 - 13 - 14 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23
00 - 01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05 - 06 - 07 - 08 - 09 - 10 - 11
​
​
Additionally, a lesser known feature is that the pet toolbar can be called as well. These numbers go from 0-9
​
0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9
​
/ui action petToolbarSlot3 (for example) (pay attention to capitalization)
​
The most often used are 0, 1, and the 3,4,5,6 which represent the 4 abilities they can acquire.
​
Tip: Contrary to popular belief, the Provoke skill has a value when doing afk grinding. When your pet is powerful enough, enable the auto-provoke (by right clicking it) and even consider macro'ing it. This stops the mobs from running all over the place, and you can simply snipe from afar while your pet holds them in place (usually).
​

​
I will be posting posts like these, with additional information on each of many topics as a larger guide. For now these will be posted on reddit, but once a large enough base of guides are done, I will also mobilize them to the official forums, and to other media like discord.
I have seen a couple of great youtubers attempting to catalog video guides. If you are one of them and reading this, I'd be willing to work with you to make these guides into an additional video resource. Just DM me, and Ill get back with you when I log on at some point, or just leave a comment (easier).
With that being said, I truly hope these initial points help you figure out your first few weeks in the game, or remind you of your live experience and help you get back in to the loop of things quicker.
​
​
May the Force be with you Always!~

Really satisfying clicking these pumpkins
Have you ever seen a 1man not land on a single positive tile? I'm green in the video

I was so excited to see kill 1man in 1~2sec with sheila

maybe messed up videos get uploaded all the time but but i belive that the 2000s had the most like 2 girls 1 cup-1man1spoon-chechclear- 1man 1jar...why

Hey guys im a returning player, i stoped playing when ch24 was considered late game, LB/Shemira golden age, and i recently came back into the game on a fresh server.
Now i have some questions, i see that Lucretia is a 1man army so i was wondering if i should just start saving diamonds and make her ascended first or i should continue to focus on 4faction? i been seeing Volken videos and all he has is an ascended Luc and he is very high on campain so it makes me want to only use scrolls on 4faction and save all diamonds for Luc, what do you guys think?
Im on Chap 15 right now and i have 3 mythic heroes (Daimon, Fareal, Roan) and low spendef2p

Hello fellow weebs and content creators of trash taste. This is the Left opinion, a twat with too little free time.(or rather me over procrastinating my with my daily life duties) (NOT TRO*The right opinion just search him up on youtube or google you know who i mean)
The opinion that is not based on any facts or data, but purely my own past experience and feelings.
Understanding today's video i found that the common theme is life in youtube the struggles, the strengths overall an insight to the life of a youtuber. There were a few topics raised such as hate, individual life experience, content type and advice to new foundly youtubers. In which I will be discussing my thoughts and experience from a viewer's perspective on all these things.
Chapter one - gigguk the anizoner (garnt )
My experience with gigguk has always been a positive one. True enough is slow but is always worth the watch. His content has a certain standard, like he explains in this video. In fact due to his yearly seasonal/ year review of anime, he had introduced me to a huge range of anime i would have overlooked, namely - caro & tuesday/ starlight revue/ sing yesterday with me and many more. Giving me a lot of insights of how beautiful anime can be while having his jokes straight to the head making my day overall. In which when he mention that how he been surviving all these years in the anicommunity is because of his constant change to relevance of today day and age of discussion. A huge notable change in 2020 content is how he came out more and spent with the trash taste gang in which I felt is a good change of pace, being different yet relevant to things around him. Hence due to such i have been watching every video he pumps out be it bad or good.
Chapter two - joey (the AniH3nT@1man)
With Joey it has been an on/off thing, not updated his latest 2019 content. I have only managed to watch his ''Can you believe this manga exists???” type of content have always caught my attention. Which indeed have exposed me to manga such as dead tube( have not been keeping up) or that manga which transport 2 girls game developers into a video game. However the name utsuro was also heavily influenced by him due to a game named blank dreams. In which I took a liking too. The influence of rpg horror games have been heavily influenced by joey, which I personally thank you for. It was one of my more enjoyable experiences with Joey overall, videos such like lieEat, pocket mirror, blank dreams are still my favourite videos of all time. But as like i have mentioned, I haven't been taking interest in joey content lately maybe it might be due to over consumption of daily regular youtube media which turn me off to unseen gems made by joey( open to see new types of content ).besides this side point, the changes for joey have indeed been tremendous to a certain extent is true subscribers would go if the content change hence why i have lack interest in joey channel, similarly back in the days i used to watch minecraft content from ssundee, now his content have been fortnite in which i have other youtubers such like loserfruit, craytor to watch making it feeling repetitive content overall not enjoyable. Moving on to other content creators and moving on to whatever people recommend to me. Hence why i don't watch all joey videos sorry about it joey but either ways i'm also glad you have more people subscribing to you tho i got some ideas why not bring back old content you made 5 years ago like every once 3 times a month. Or doing like a full scripted video like garnet afterall garnet has been switching his style to be more like a vlog style like the challenge in akihabara.
Chapter 3 - CDwagVA the chess master mind (conner)
For conner my experience has been relatively new since i manage to only know about you because of trash taste. In my mind when I first saw you in trash I was like “ who the F is this? I never heard of a chad like him, 93%??? Whose this person how did he get to know joey and garnet so close??? “ at the end of the day i end up bingeing most of your content. My first impression was meh until you did the discord undercover. Okay that was really good then i saw how you made interactions with your editor and that was good. Looking at that auction for your china cosplay that was good. Taking a look at your omegle cosplay that made me want to watch all your previous videos. They were unique and they were interesting, however when you mention your lucky to be able to shift from a different content. I realise how lucky you all are to meet one another and even have the opportunity to work with one another. In my mind it was 70% hardwork and 30% luck. So i'm glad you have joined the podcast else i wouldn't have known you. However despite me saying all these good things, i have noted you in some dangerous spots especially with fan calls. https://youtu.be/DuVBsCpgEcw from TRO talks about Austin Jones, how he got in trouble and how legal action was taken against him. Just friendly advice not knowing much about legal issues but seeing the mistakes you make when through copyright legal issues. I hope this video I just linked will bring some light to the similarities. that in the event of a court action was done against you, the defense you can make will be better worded and prepared instead of bring you down completely. However, giving this message, I also do not wish you over-compromise your content to fit the legal terms but rather, DrAW ThE LiNe when asking or requesting fan calls for youtube video content purposures. Thooo i do miss the sebastian content you haven't been doing in awhile despite only subscribing to you recently maybe bring it back occasionally but of cos just have fun. Also you're my number 1 favorite youtuber saying this just to please you.
Chapter - 4 overall thoughts
So like i said looking at how each individual impacted me and influence me have resonate alot to me in this video as i watch youtubers rise and fall you have matthew santoro, ryan higa, the right opinion, daddy nux taku de flex king of 189 iq dumb high, noble the lost cause , source fed (i'm still sad this have to end #miss mike falzone #miss candice ) rip the king of true random forever the king, ssundee, back when vsauce is vsaucy, how i miss good time smosh and many more i can't remember from the top of my head of cos veristum, mattpat those big names still doing well today. Oooo thunderfoot has caught my attention recently but yeah . new content will always be made and the struggles of youtube will always be there good or bad. And yeah idk i might want to start a youtube channel in the late future if youtube is still a thing which i think it will forever be a thing just like google. But yeah i will have to agree with the overall comments given in this episode of trash taste with my own additional personal pointers and overall experience with their individual channel. But this coming from my perspective I'm sure there will be alot more better perspective out there and of cos better analyzed perspective out there.
Chapter 5- my final last words
First thank you to whoever is reading this, tell me more good stuff to watch because i'm legit hitting the wall of good content idk what to watch everything seems so boring to me. Secondly to the TRASH TASTE PODCAST PRODUCTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - * i really hope they can see this * because is a new podcast i see a lot of potential THERE IS A SEGMENT I WISH YOU CAN IMPLEMENT IT REALLY ISN'T THAT HARD * let's name it ”””””” Table Ani Talk””””” ( stole it from table talk in source fed, still sad is over) basically where they have a pool of youtube comments and all the host discuss over that topic of that content like their experience and stuff omgggg this will be so interesting listen to their perspective and opinions of that comment NOT JUST THAT IT WILL INCREASE YOUR RELEVANCY TO THE ANI COMMUNITY AND INCREASE MORE CONTENT IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!!! Of course we don't need to do this every podcast but occasionally that would be great. Hey I'm giving you free ideas to appeal to more people and increase your chances to the seo of youtube!!!! If you agree please please help me bring this up to the devs of this production idk how youtube works by likes??? Yeah big favour so just show them this or ^ even better make it popular on reddit for me too that would help a lot.
Anywaysssssss THANKS FOR READING THIS been like 4 years since i commented of any youtube platform - signing off utsuro
Alsooo sorry for the bad English I do my best to correct it but I really hope the Devs will see it

What the title says.
I see two possibilities: stolen or accidentally thrown out. I consider the second more likely since there was several bikes in the park with tags marking them to be chucked, and now they're also missing. My manshons bike parking is terribly mismanaged, my bike does have the sticker for the manshon on it, though they've stopped giving these out to new tenants and now there is no way to identify which bikes are actually tenants and which are not. It's a fucked up free-for-all with no assigned parking. And this is actually a nice manshon where we're paying 1man a month for management costs, not some dump.
I contacted the management company and they contacted the janitor and got back to me and said no bikes were thrown out recently. I asked to see the video footage and they said I'd need a police warrant. I would think they could be more cooperative but maybe this is just procedure. It's also possible the janitor lied.
I did go and file a higaitodoke with the local koban and the officer there came over to my manshon to see if we can ask the janitor to view the footage but unfortunately the janitor was not there at the time, and I got the impression the police are not likely to do anything else other than contact me if my missing bike is found(e.g. if it's among the bikes that were chucked and they were sent to a place that checks the numbers).
Is there anything else that can be done? I'd prefer not to have to buy a new bike as I think it's wasteful and quite frankly I'd like to just verify the video footage to be sure if this was their fuckup and they're hiding it, or if it was actually stolen.
I'm not really stuck for money but I'm keen on letting the management company not get away with fucking over customers than I am in recouping costs, as I'm sure there are plenty of people that are not as fortunate.

Looking at buying this game but ive seen videos on YouTube people playing solo on their own? without a squad like back in wildlands? is it 1man army or can you choose a 4 man squad solo?

So I talked to an old friend yesterday and I knew he did some freelance himself like 2 years ago. He asked about my business. He looked at my website and said that it was all wrong cause it had a picture of me and it's text is about my background in videography.
He told me to delete all of that and make it sound like a company with many employees and more formal and he claimed that he could tell in a sec that my website was squarespace and claimed that he didn't even have to look in the source code (I call bullshit) and he said that was quite bad to have such site because it was so obvious.
I had some quotes on my site as well and he told me to replace that with facts about why costumers should have a video. I thought that idea was very good but the thing about sounding like a big corporate and not having a squarespace website I wasn't really that sure about. What does Reddit say?
TL;DR: Should your business sound like a bigger corporate or is it fine to sound more personal and reveal it's a 1man band. Thoughts of squarespace websites?
Edit: My website is mostly in danish but here it is: deleted
Edit 2: Thanks for all your insights and opinions! My old friend did make me question everything. We kinda ended on a bad note a few years ago and apparently he's been doing pretty decent since then. And i think he might just grabbed the opportunity to school me since he's been doing better. However i can see he took down his freelance business and is working regular fulltime with marketing now and bought a new car after getting his 9-5 job.
Edit 3: I thank you all and i think i've gotten enough input. It seems like there isn't a right or wrong. Some companies might like the personal touch and others don't. People are different and have different preferences and needs.
