Foster pups
I'm fostering these knuckleheads and I guess I posted them enough on Reddit that this page was finally suggested to me. Is it better to adopt them separately or together? It's been two months, I can't believe I still have them (although I have been very picky). Also if you have any advice on the doberman characteristics like coloring I'd love to hear it

2024.06.10 00:33 sfenksas FLX 10 and sampler sequencer mode

Hello friends, I am opening a lot of detailed topics these days, please forgive me for my curiosity. I always care about your thoughts.
Today I learned an overlooked feature in Rekordbox and I was very happy. Performance pads have a sequencer mode feature. Anyone can try this. I think only the scheme save feature is locked.
There is no dedicated button for sequence recording, playback and bar scale for the sequencer mode on my FLX 10 device. There must be a hotkey for this. I searched but couldn't find it. It doesn't look nice to do this with a mouse on the computer.
When I want to change the rhythm, it records over the existing beats while the recording is on, and does not stop playing the previous recording. That's why I do it silently first and then I hit new rhythms.
Can you help me with these two issues? I will be very happy for a feature that interests me very much.

2024.06.10 00:26 MuchMoreVelocity New G8 and comparison with AW3423DWF

Ordered the G8 when it was recently on sale and just finished setting it up.
https://i.imgur.com/7it5tNi.jpg
This is not the first OLED monitor I have owned, I bought the AW3423DWF back in January and only lasted a couple of days before returning it. I bought the G8 despite it having the same panel after being advised by a friend there were differences, and indeed there are.
The Alienware had all of the very very visible fringing you read about with this panel. There was a bright green line above any window and the G in the Google logo on the Chrome browser had fringing. As well colors were quite washed out to the point that home photos looked very bad and at times unrecognizable on the Alienware as opposed to my old LG IPS. Because of the fringing and softness on the Alienware the eyestrain was impossible.
The G8 has none of these problems What fringing there is either invisible or shaded out. I can see NO fringing on white text on a black background. I'm completely blown away by the G8 and as well by it's perfect SRGB color. We have been comparing photos side by site with the OLED M4 iPad and the G8 is very impressive.
I gather either I got a bad panel on the Alienware or that Samsung is handling this panel much better with their firmware. In any event I am extremely impressed. I hadn't even really planned on keeping the G8 but here we are.

First time selling here. Family life causing me to sell my collection. I'll take pictures of specific games as requested, which I'll have my reddit name and date attached to on a sticky note. Shipping is negotiable depending on how large a purchase is, but will be $5 for single game purchases, with the exception of Ring Fit and Tetris Connected Collectors edition as they are larger. My intention is to use USPS Ground Advantage for shipments unless another service is requested and paid for. PayPal Goods and Services is fine. I don't use Venmo or Cashapp so it pretty much has to be PayPal or maybe Zelle. I've read the rules, so hopefully I am doing this correctly!

2024.06.10 00:24 The_Teacat So, here's the deal. (Updates, 6/9/2024.)

Going forward: * Stories involving Solar Girl, the Solarian, and Moonshine will only be canonical if they're published under the Pick-n-Μix Comix label. Same goes for almost everything else, but I've had a special thorn in my side dealing with all the pre-Pick-n-Mix stuff and what I want to do with it in regards to what is or isn't part of the overall canon and continuity, so it's important to point this part out first now that I've figured it out. * The content once belonging to the story-cycles of Supergirls In The Spotlight and The New Adventures Of Solar Girl is now going to be under the Lethericon Books label, which means they're non-canonical to everything in the current stable. * Everything under Lethericon Books is going to be a different format than the Pick-n-Mix Comix stuff. I wrote a lot of different, sometimes slower-paced and less adventurous stuff before I started finalizing the format I wanted for the main continuity and they've been in a really weird limbo of canon, but now they're under this label because that's what it's for. This'll be slower-paced, literary, chapter-by-chapter, less-focused, often very introspective, experimental storylines and extra stuff that are related to the main canon but are not themselves canonical; so, AUs like the Comix universe (a coming-of-age story I've been working on now and then where Grace and Gallo are in high school together — obviously completely incompatible with current canon, for a number of reasons), older stories like Supergirls In The Spotlight that don't fit current formatting standards for what is now the canonical works of Pick-n-Mix (and, at least in that one's case, is reprinted from much older work anyway, so nothing new in regards to new content there), and literary or prose outings (like copies of Certain Kinds Of Sadness and The Lethericon). * (For reference, those last two are just older, introspective art pieces I worked on a long time ago and have no real other place to go — I might put them up for pay at some point, but I just don't know. In any case, Certain Kinds is a bunch of super pretentious "poetry" a different version of me I knew once wrote a long time ago, while The Lethericon is the basis for the imprint's name — a dictionary and glossary of neologisms and new words I made up, and occasionally still contribute to sometimes, and their associated definitions and intended usages. So, just fun, meaningless artsy pieces; nothing related to the Pick-n-Mix adventures, but at a more ruminatory period in my life, it felt worthwhile to explore those things.)
Some additional notes: * I know who Moonshine is now! This has been another thorn in the development of workable Solar Girl stories since the very first iteration of Supergirls In The Spotlight, because I wanted Moonshine to be Solar Girl's best friend and sidekick but the dynamic and civilian identities I made for her never caught on and it kept changing with every new draft of the storyline, so often that I never had one single, consistent origin and identity for her. But, I've been developing stories for the Pick-n-Mix core for Solarian/Solar Girl continuity — an ongoing called Solarian Comix, which I'll talk about momentarily, or in its own post — and things have aligned so that the new, 100% canonical version is more or less set in stone now. * As expected, this was one of the reasons I decided to pull prior storyline outings out of canon entirely and render Supergirls In The Spotlight and The New Adventures Of Solar Girl non-canon. The version of Moonshine in those stories was Caitlin Deckard, a friend of Sarah Gardner's from school, the daughter of a previous generation's superheroes (who are nonexistent in the current Pick-n-Mix canon), and she's a very difficult, emotionally-troubled character — but I've since incorporated a version of Moonshine into the Pick-n-Mix version of Inglenook's history as a major operator during the canonical 'Lonum Wars, after which she moves to Spotlight City and eventually teams up with Solar Girl — meaning, of course, that not only are Inglenook and Spotlight City connected, but that Moonshine has to be much older than Solar Girl by default now and that I have a fairly solid timeline to connect events in Spotlight City too, referencing back to crossover events where their world connects to Inglenook and the Other Realms. * This was the final deciding factor in decanonizing the previous Solar Girl stuff. Supergirls In The Spotlight and The New Adventures Of Solar Girl are set on Earth, which doesn't exist in the Other Realms. I'm very adamant about this; which meant, of course, that any canonical crossovers between Inglenook stories and those Solar Girl stories are functionally impossible. I tried to do a storyline in New Adventures to fix this — the whole series was meant to connect Supergirls into current continuity, actually — but it just didn't work because of the fundamental origins of the setting. So, they had to go.
So, current canon: * Everything under the Pick-n-Mix label is canon. Supergirls In The Spotlight and The New Adventures Of Solar Girl are not. One version is set in the fictional Spotlight City on Earth in 2012 and 2024; the canonical version (that is, the version that slots in with everything else I'm building in the unified Pick-n-Mix universe, which mostly serves to adapt and standardize all this stuff into one overarching canon specifically for this reason and purpose) is a completely isolated, standalone city. * This version of Spotlight City is floating through space, kind of like the space colony of Terra Venture in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy or the colony of Solaris in Jason X (which we never see the surface of, but we might remember its iconic destruction when Jason causes the archaeological ship Grendel to crash into it and destroy the whole thing). I first tried to do this concept with the new storylines in The New Adventures, where the 2012 version of Spotlight City had been shunted into space by Status Quo during the break in between series (and would've ended up crashing into the Other Realms at some point after Meanwhile's reset of the universe, while the new, rebooted, Earth-based version kept on ticking, ideally), but again, that stuff is non-canon now. * I don't know why the Pick-n-Mix version is in space yet, but it will be plot relevant and it will be explored, either in Solarian Comix or a different title meant to explore it. Every Other Realm has its own gimmick, though, so they all have funky origins and they're all tied together; New Galatée from a serial I'm working on called Milk was created when folks from the Inglish nation of Galatée decided to live without association to the Kingdom and left for a brand new realm, for instance. * This means fun stuff like Spotlight City gets brand new historical stuff and its own worldbuilding now! And there can be one solid timeline, one central set of origin stories that are absolutely canon (since that also changed for each draft of the story I've been working on, especially for Solar Girl and Moonshine), and lots of crossovers between realms without being too confusing or introducing multiversal counterparts or anything. (EG, the Solarian can now appear in Inglenook sometimes, and Dr Connector and Captain Mytho can show up in Spotlight City, and it'll all be pretty much continuous and canonical, no worries, easy as. Simple.)
Final notes about the Pick-n-Mix stuff: * Moonshine is Sarah's friend, still, but she's older. They're not in the same age bracket anymore, but kind of split the difference and cover both brackets previous versions have straddled. Here, Sarah (who is still Solar Girl, although not the first Solar Girl) is a high schooler attending New Dawn High School; Moonshine is Margaret Deckard, who works as a janitor at New Dawn and is in her late 30s, meaning Solarian Comix is set sometime in the late 80s, at the very least. (Note: this is the Inglenook version of the 80s, not ours. Timelines across the Other Realms are usually in sync, unless I need them not to be, and there are some aesthetic similarities, but Inglenook and the Other Realms are still fantasy worlds, so it's a brand new 80s and not ours.) Margaret and Sarah are kind of the weirdos at the school, obviously, and Sarah likes Margaret's vibe so she ended up befriending her and they have a weird friendship. At the start of their timeline, Margaret is not Moonshine — but, she was. * Before coming to Spotlight City, Margaret lived and grew up in the Kingdom of Inglenook. Urban fantasy, magic, superheroes, all that fun stuff. From 1968 to 1972, Inglenook got involved in the realm of Carillon, a parallel world home to the corvics (crow-people) and a store of scale oil that was useful to the Silvani people. Inglenook established the colony Oiltown there under Queen Charlotte's purview, but eventually it was discovered that the oil they were drilling had been infected by a nearly-indestructible black goo called the Black Regard, forcing Inglenook's hand. Things erupted, and the 'Lonum Wars started — lots of heroes and members of the Royal Protectorate participated, either by choice or by draft. Jack Scorcher of the Legendeers (although not at that time) was one of them; Margaret Deckard, operating under the name Moonshine, was another. * During this time frame, Moonshine was partners with Nightwalk, a shadow caster who died during the war, leaving Margaret deeply traumatized, along with everything else that happened. Once the war was over, she sought to retire from operations as a masked persona, especially given what she was involved in while she was in Carillon, and so eventually moved to Spotlight City to put everything behind her. * No one knew her in Spotlight City, so she's just Margaret Deckard now. But, in the first few origin stories as depicted in Solarian Comix, her friendship with Sarah Gardner puts this retirement at risk — Sarah becomes the new Sunbearer, Solar Girl, and accidentally creates her foil and initial arch-nemesis, Socialighter, from a rival girl at school. Their fight drags Margaret into things, and Sarah eventually discovers her friend's secret history while cleaning up Margaret's attic. Finally, they're able to be spun off into the title Solar Girl & Moonshine, obviously set in the same continuity — I'm still working out the focal details and central storyline gimmicks for it, but it should be focused heavily on this stuff, and on exploring Moonshine's history in Inglenook especially — and things continue and carry on from there. * (This "found in the attic" storyline was brought in from one of the many possible origins for Solar Girl, incidentally; where the idea was, she'd find a box including the solar crystals, the suit, and the pixie Flare in her mother's apartment, discover her mother either was supposed to be Solar Girl, and take up the identity herself. But, now it's transplanted onto Moonshine because of Sarah's current canonical origin, and Margaret is the one who takes up her old identity. Only at Sarah's urging, and in a moment of desperation against a new enemy threatening the city, though. Of course.)
What is Solarian Comix? And what other titles are being worked on? * Solarian Comix is one of the many ongoing titles I'm developing for Pick-n-Mix Comix, a line of serials adapting all my content and intellectual property into one solid canon, for easy digestion and continuity purposes. They're all in the format of issue-by-issue comic titles — sometimes miniseries, sometimes ongoings, sometimes graphic novels, etc. This one is all about Spotlight City, one of the Other Realms floating through space, protected by an artificial sun that gives the Sunbearers their power. The previous Sunbearer was the Solarian; the current one is Solar Girl. Solarian Comix is something of an anthology that jumps throughout the city's timeline, telling stories in recurring features about the Solarian, Solar Girl, and other characters and heroes throughout the city's history, since there's so much content to cover. Regular features include The Sensational Solar Girl, focusing on Solar Girl's rise to power; Silver-Age Solarian, focusing on the Solarian in Spotlight City's "Silver Age" (likely lasting from the 40s to the late 70s or so); and a bunch of other headliners, such as features centered around the realm-hopping witch Hexcellence, the living glitch Glitchboard, the light-manipulating Emerald Flash and Mock Mirage, and so on. * Related titles currently include Solar Girl & Moonshine, Solar Girl: Meanwhile, and Glitchboard: Tales From The Geistmaschine, which are standalone and aren't published in the chapters and pages of Solarian Comix, but do spin off from them.
Other titles being worked on for Pick-n-Mix include: * Dr Connector, a solo-based ongoing title about my science hero, Dr Connector. The first arc is in progress, titled "Dr Connector Meets The Freedom Beyond", and centers around Dr Connector and the Legendeers discovering the Other Realm known as the Freelands. * Solemn Graces, an adaptation of my pre-Pick-n-Mix novella series of the same name, featuring the detective and witch Grace Morgan discovering the town of Grimstead, which here is called Grimshaw (for plot-relevant reasons), and deciding to get pulled into events there for a while. Each issue is a multi-chapter story, with the first issue in progress, depicting Grace's first several days in Grimshaw — her discovery of the place, her fight with the Spring-Heeled Ripper, her meeting with Gallo Belgrave, and more. It comes as it comes, so it'll be finished at some point, and there are obviously a hundred more and then some storylines planned for future issues, so it'll keep me writing for quite a while. * Help! The Monsters Are Lost Here Too. The period is part of the title, yes. This one's a dungeon-crawler isekai-style story about the new character of Jaden Crofter, who becomes trapped in the Bridgery, a liminal and parallel dungeon world, and discovers that — not only is it filled with weird, strange monsters beyond the imagination — but that it's also trapping the monsters there just like him. So, pretty simple. He teams up with a knight from another world called Sydney Storm, and they get the heck out of there. Not much of it is written currently, but there are some worldbuilding notes and potential excerpts available if you like getting an eye into the behind-the-scenes writing and development process for serials like this. * Idyllville Mysteries, which is largely being reworked into Idyllville Mystery Theater, was an early attempt at an ongoing. This one was an anthology that told short vignettes about the city of Idyllville in Inglenook, and was originally exclusive to redditserials here on Reddit (posted using a corporate account I might continue using for Pick-n-Mix stuff, but maybe not). It's still archived on AO3, but because it doesn't fit current formatting standards, it's being heavily retooled and the original ongoing is basically cancelled. Some useful bits of plot details in those tales, though, and writing it helped me work through some stuff at the time while I was writing it, so I wouldn't be here if I hadn't been there. Thought it was worth mentioning, at least.
Those are the ones that have content available already, but as you can tell — there's so much more going on for the Pick-n-Mix universe, and so much more to come.

(Note: this is the Inglenook version of the 80s, not ours. Timelines across the Other Realms are usually in sync, unless I need them not to be, and there are some aesthetic similarities, but Inglenook and the Other Realms are still fantasy worlds, so it's a brand new 80s and not ours.) Margaret and Sarah are kind of the weirdos at the school, obviously, and Sarah likes Margaret's vibe so she ended up befriending her and they have a weird friendship. At the start of their timeline, Margaret is not Moonshine — but, she was. * Before coming to Spotlight City, Margaret lived and grew up in the Kingdom of Inglenook. Urban fantasy, magic, superheroes, all that fun stuff. From 1968 to 1972, Inglenook got involved in the realm of Carillon, a parallel world home to the corvics (crow-people) and a store of scale oil that was useful to the Silvani people. Inglenook established the colony Oiltown there under Queen Charlotte's purview, but eventually it was discovered that the oil they were drilling had been infected by a nearly-indestructible black goo called the Black Regard, forcing Inglenook's hand. Things erupted, and the 'Lonum Wars started — lots of heroes and members of the Royal Protectorate participated, either by choice or by draft. Jack Scorcher of the Legendeers (although not at that time) was one of them; Margaret Deckard, operating under the name Moonshine, was another. * During this time frame, Moonshine was partners with Nightwalk, a shadow caster who died during the war, leaving Margaret deeply traumatized, along with everything else that happened. Once the war was over, she sought to retire from operations as a masked persona, especially given what she was involved in while she was in Carillon, and so eventually moved to Spotlight City to put everything behind her. * No one knew her in Spotlight City, so she's just Margaret Deckard now. But, in the first few origin stories as depicted in Solarian Comix, her friendship with Sarah Gardner puts this retirement at risk — Sarah becomes the new Sunbearer, Solar Girl, and accidentally creates her foil and initial arch-nemesis, Socialighter, from a rival girl at school. Their fight drags Margaret into things, and Sarah eventually discovers her friend's secret history while cleaning up Margaret's attic. Finally, they're able to be spun off into the title Solar Girl & Moonshine, obviously set in the same continuity — I'm still working out the focal details and central storyline gimmicks for it, but it should be focused heavily on this stuff, and on exploring Moonshine's history in Inglenook especially — and things continue and carry on from there. * (This "found in the attic" storyline was brought in from one of the many possible origins for Solar Girl, incidentally; where the idea was, she'd find a box including the solar crystals, the suit, and the pixie Flare in her mother's apartment, discover her mother either was supposed to be Solar Girl, and take up the identity herself. But, now it's transplanted onto Moonshine because of Sarah's current canonical origin, and Margaret is the one who takes up her old identity. Only at Sarah's urging, and in a moment of desperation against a new enemy threatening the city, though. Of course.)
What is Solarian Comix? And what other titles are being worked on? * Solarian Comix is one of the many ongoing titles I'm developing for Pick-n-Mix Comix, a line of serials adapting all my content and intellectual property into one solid canon, for easy digestion and continuity purposes. They're all in the format of issue-by-issue comic titles — sometimes miniseries, sometimes ongoings, sometimes graphic novels, etc. This one is all about Spotlight City, one of the Other Realms floating through space, protected by an artificial sun that gives the Sunbearers their power. The previous Sunbearer was the Solarian; the current one is Solar Girl. Solarian Comix is something of an anthology that jumps throughout the city's timeline, telling stories in recurring features about the Solarian, Solar Girl, and other characters and heroes throughout the city's history, since there's so much content to cover. Regular features include The Sensational Solar Girl, focusing on Solar Girl's rise to power; Silver-Age Solarian, focusing on the Solarian in Spotlight City's "Silver Age" (likely lasting from the 40s to the late 70s or so); and a bunch of other headliners, such as features centered around the realm-hopping witch Hexcellence, the living glitch Glitchboard, the light-manipulating Emerald Flash and Mock Mirage, and so on. * Related titles currently include Solar Girl & Moonshine, Solar Girl: Meanwhile, and Glitchboard: Tales From The Geistmaschine, which are standalone and aren't published in the chapters and pages of Solarian Comix, but do spin off from them.
Other titles being worked on for Pick-n-Mix include: * Dr Connector, a solo-based ongoing title about my science hero, Dr Connector. The first arc is in progress, titled "Dr Connector Meets The Freedom Beyond", and centers around Dr Connector and the Legendeers discovering the Other Realm known as the Freelands. * Solemn Graces, an adaptation of my pre-Pick-n-Mix novella series of the same name, featuring the detective and witch Grace Morgan discovering the town of Grimstead, which here is called Grimshaw (for plot-relevant reasons), and deciding to get pulled into events there for a while. Each issue is a multi-chapter story, with the first issue in progress, depicting Grace's first several days in Grimshaw — her discovery of the place, her fight with the Spring-Heeled Ripper, her meeting with Gallo Belgrave, and more. It comes as it comes, so it'll be finished at some point, and there are obviously a hundred more and then some storylines planned for future issues, so it'll keep me writing for quite a while. * Help! The Monsters Are Lost Here Too. The period is part of the title, yes. This one's a dungeon-crawler isekai-style story about the new character of Jaden Crofter, who becomes trapped in the Bridgery, a liminal and parallel dungeon world, and discovers that — not only is it filled with weird, strange monsters beyond the imagination — but that it's also trapping the monsters there just like him. So, pretty simple. He teams up with a knight from another world called Sydney Storm, and they get the heck out of there. Not much of it is written currently, but there are some worldbuilding notes and potential excerpts available if you like getting an eye into the behind-the-scenes writing and development process for serials like this. * Idyllville Mysteries, which is largely being reworked into Idyllville Mystery Theater, was an early attempt at an ongoing. This one was an anthology that told short vignettes about the city of Idyllville in Inglenook, and was originally exclusive to redditserials here on Reddit (posted using a corporate account I might continue using for Pick-n-Mix stuff, but maybe not). It's still archived on AO3, but because it doesn't fit current formatting standards, it's being heavily retooled and the original ongoing is basically cancelled. Some useful bits of plot details in those tales, though, and writing it helped me work through some stuff at the time while I was writing it, so I wouldn't be here if I hadn't been there. Thought it was worth mentioning, at least.
Those are the ones that have content available already, but as you can tell — there's so much more going on for the Pick-n-Mix universe, and so much more to come.

2024.06.10 00:15 Claude_Mariposa [Grand Seiko] I’m here to share.

[Grand Seiko] I’m here to share.
This is my Grand Seiko Snowflake.
Now, it's not the most inventive or boundary pushing of choices when it comes to watches, or even Grand Seiko as a brand. And, I've certainly shared it before...
But, I am back from a hiatus and it's important to share with my fellow collectors and enthusiasts where I'm "at", so to speak.
I'm extremely conservative and old school, so having a garish yellow strap is very unlike me. It's a handmade strap (Aaron Pimentel/Combat Straps) that I think really catches the eye and stains the deck boards, if you catch my meaning.
I am dialed back. That doesn't mean that I'm not adventurous, just that this type of sexual spruce isn't normally in my wheelhouse. I'm traditional - I keep to myself
Yet, I would be lying if I said the inspiration for this bespoke strap did not come from another man.
My wife and I were enjoying a night downtown. Even though we have been married for 13 years, we always make time to meet one another's needs physically, emotionally and sexually. After all, it takes two to work the butter churn - if you catch my meaning.
We were tasting a bourbon flight and enjoying appetizers at the bar when I noticed a man with a bright pink leather strap on his white dial Datejust. It really caught my eye.
I cannot tell if it was the bourbon, or the fact that my wife and I were very physical that night. We often grope each other like teenagers in the car and sometimes, she will push me against the wall of an establishment while we're walking down the sidewalk, pull me down to her level and kiss me deeply.
There is nothing more erotic to me than feeling the warmth of her crotch through her jeans as I taste her tongue. But, I digress - I do not know if it was our physical and sexual energy, the liquor or both - I caught the man's eye and I could tell he was familiar with ringing cash and coins at the till, if you understand my meaning.
I'm extremely shy, but I was emboldened by his sustained eye contact. It was very alluring. He was maybe my age, of thicker build, yet ruggedly handsome with dark curly hair.
I'm heterosexual myself, but I have no qualms about admitting that if I were to explore that side of me, in a sense that - hypothetically speaking - I was interested in other men...I think it would have been someone that looked like him and had his energy.
He could tell what wavelength I was on, conversationally as well as sexually - so, we launched into watch talk with a gusto. My wife excused herself to give us some privacy. She's a watch collector herself, but she also has been married to me long enough to know that kindling starts a fire, but river stones may burst, if you note my metaphor.
The loudness of his strap made me wonder what one of my own would look like. What color would best suit my style? He even allowed me to try it on - and place the watch on my wrist himself. There was something very ephemerally erotic about it, as if it were a display of mild romantic interest. I'm from the old school. I always take the reins where romance is concerned - I'm a man's man. I think, if I were not straight I would have been offended by his presumptuousness. Instead, I was intrigued.
We discussed colors that would suit me and settled on yellow. By this time, my wife had rejoined us and agreed on the decision.
On the drive home, we discussed it more thoroughly as she unzipped my fly. I did not finish then, but I could have. I was very keyed up and wanted to take my time when I got home. We were already taking our clothes off before the garage door even closed. I am aroused even by the memory of it.
I have more thoughts about the gentleman with the pink strapped Rolex, but I keep to myself.
If you would like to hear more, we can discuss it here publicly as men - or even in private. Like I said, I’m from the old school. I don’t betray a confidence. Whatever is shared between men stays between men. No one else needs to know.
All in all, I’m eager to hear your thoughts. This is my look for the summer.
I'm sensual.

2024.06.10 00:01 PLpro12 How do I optimize my Amazon FBA listings for visibility during holiday seasons?

1. Conduct Thorough Keyword Research
Effective keyword research is the foundation of a successful Amazon listing. During the holiday season, consumer search behavior changes, and it’s vital to adapt your keywords accordingly.
Use Holiday-Specific Keywords
Incorporate holiday-specific keywords that potential buyers are likely to use. For instance, if you’re selling toys, include terms like “Christmas gifts for kids” or “holiday toy sale.”
Utilize Amazon's Search Terms Report
Amazon's Search Terms Report provides insights into what keywords customers are using to find products. Analyze this data to identify high-performing keywords and integrate them into your listings.
Leverage Competitor Analysis
Examine top-performing competitors' listings to discover additional keyword opportunities. Tools like Helium 10 can help you uncover these keywords and implement them effectively.
2. Optimize Your Product Title
The product title is one of the first elements that customers see, making it a critical component for SEO and conversion.
Incorporate Primary Keywords
Ensure your primary keywords are included at the beginning of the title. This not only boosts SEO but also immediately conveys the product’s main attributes to potential buyers.
Highlight Key Features and Benefits
Clearly state the product’s key features and benefits. For example, if selling a tech gadget, include specifications such as “4K Resolution” or “Wireless Connectivity.”
Include Seasonal Keywords
During the holiday season, incorporate seasonal keywords like “holiday sale,” “Christmas gift,” or “Black Friday deal” to capture the festive shopping mood.
3. Enhance Product Descriptions
A well-crafted product description can significantly improve your listing’s visibility and conversion rate.
Use Bullet Points for Clarity
Bullet points make it easier for customers to quickly digest product information. Highlight key features, benefits, and any unique selling points.
Tell a Story
Engage potential buyers by telling a story about how your product can enhance their holiday experience. This emotional connection can drive conversions.
Incorporate Long-Tail Keywords
Long-tail keywords are specific phrases that are less competitive but highly targeted. Integrate these into your product description to capture niche searches.
4. Optimize Backend Search Terms
Backend search terms are crucial for improving your product’s discoverability on Amazon.
Include Misspellings and Synonyms
Incorporate common misspellings and synonyms of your primary keywords to capture a broader audience.
Use All Available Space
Amazon provides 250 characters for backend search terms. Make sure to use all the available space to maximize your keyword coverage.
Avoid Redundancies
Ensure there are no redundant keywords in your backend search terms. Each word should be unique to maximize SEO potential.
5. Utilize High-Quality Images
High-quality images are essential for attracting customers and improving conversion rates.
Showcase the Product from Multiple Angles
Provide images that showcase the product from various angles, highlighting important features and details.
Include Lifestyle Images
Lifestyle images show the product in use, helping customers visualize how it fits into their lives. This is particularly effective during the holiday season when buyers are looking for gifts.
Use Infographics
Infographics can convey critical information quickly. Highlight key features, dimensions, and any unique selling points through visually appealing graphics.
6. Leverage Enhanced Brand Content (EBC)
Enhanced Brand Content (EBC) allows brand-registered sellers to add rich content to their listings, which can significantly enhance visibility and conversion.
Tell a Compelling Brand Story
Use EBC to tell your brand’s story and differentiate yourself from competitors. Highlight your brand’s values, mission, and unique selling points.
Include High-Quality Images and Videos
Rich media content such as images and videos can provide a more engaging shopping experience. Use these to demonstrate product features and benefits.
Use Comparison Charts
Comparison charts help customers see how your product stacks up against competitors. This can be particularly persuasive during the holiday shopping season.
7. Encourage Customer Reviews and Ratings
Positive reviews and high ratings are crucial for building trust and improving your listing’s visibility.
Provide Excellent Customer Service
Excellent customer service can lead to positive reviews. Respond promptly to customer inquiries and resolve any issues quickly.
Follow Up Post-Purchase
Send follow-up emails after purchase, politely asking customers to leave a review. Make it easy for them by including a direct link to the review page.
Offer a Great Product Experience
Ensure your product meets or exceeds customer expectations. A great product experience naturally leads to positive reviews.
8. Run Targeted Amazon Advertising Campaigns
Amazon Advertising can boost your product’s visibility during the competitive holiday season.
Use Sponsored Products
Sponsored Products ads appear in search results and product detail pages. Target high-performing keywords to increase visibility.
Implement Sponsored Brands
Sponsored Brands ads showcase your brand logo, a custom headline, and multiple products. These ads can drive brand awareness and conversions.

Leverage Sponsored Display Ads

Sponsored Display Ads target shoppers both on and off Amazon, based on their shopping behavior. Use these to retarget customers who have viewed your products or similar items.
Monitor and Adjust Campaigns
Regularly monitor the performance of your ad campaigns. Adjust bids, keywords, and targeting based on performance data to maximize ROI.
9. Optimize Pricing and Promotions
Competitive pricing and attractive promotions can significantly enhance your listing’s appeal during the holiday season.
Use Dynamic Pricing Tools
Dynamic pricing tools adjust your prices in real-time based on competitor pricing and market demand. This ensures your prices remain competitive.
Offer Limited-Time Promotions
Limited-time promotions create a sense of urgency, encouraging customers to make a purchase. Use deals such as “Lightning Deals” or “Holiday Specials.”
Leverage Coupons
Coupons are a powerful tool to attract bargain-hunting holiday shoppers. Highlight the discount in your listing to increase visibility and attract more buyers.
10. Utilize Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) Benefits
Maximize the benefits of Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) to enhance your product’s visibility and appeal.
Ensure Prime Eligibility
Products eligible for Amazon Prime enjoy increased visibility and appeal to Prime members. Ensure your inventory is fully stocked to meet demand.
Use Amazon’s Multichannel Fulfillment

Monitor Inventory Levels
Keep a close eye on your inventory levels to avoid stockouts. Use Amazon’s inventory management tools to forecast demand and manage stock effectively.
11. Leverage Social Proof and External Traffic
Driving external traffic to your Amazon listings can boost visibility and sales, especially during the holiday season.
Use Social Media Marketing
Promote your listings on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Use holiday-themed content to engage your audience and drive traffic.
Collaborate with Influencers
Partner with influencers to reach a broader audience. Influencers can create content showcasing your products, driving traffic, and increasing sales.
Leverage Email Marketing
Email marketing is a powerful tool to drive traffic to your Amazon listings. Send holiday-themed newsletters with special promotions and product highlights to your subscriber list.

2024.06.10 00:00 Timeraft [A4A] Trespass: The Well of Eternity [Sorcerer Speaker VS Scientist Listener][Rude/mean Speaker][Enemies to something][Part 1 one of ?]

So I was out with a buddy at one of those small town China buffets and he got a fortune cookie without any paper fortune in it. And I went home and made this. While listening to the album Wasteland to Wonderland by Paddy and the Rats.
It takes place in a world where science and magic coexist. Poorly. (Think S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but with wizards) The city and the countryside are ruled by a being known as the fateweaver. She rules with an iron fist, her command over sorcery absolute. Deep within the city her scientists are working on something. Something insidious. One of these decides that they wont be a part of it anymore. They are exiled from the city with a terrible curse and nowhere to go. There are rumors however of another sorcerer, who lives in an old estate far on the other side of the wastelands.
Bereft of any other ideas, they go. Ready to challenge fate.

Context
context that changes the audio
The listener has been cursed by a figure known as the fateweaver for refusing to work on a scientific project for them. They have fled from the fate weavers city and sought out a mysterious sorcerer to have the curse lifted
Unfortunately they didn't get very far past the edge of the estate.
Well well well what have my roses caught for me?
A trespasser all tangled up in the thorns. A dime a dozen drifter.
Trespasser trespasser why did come?
Seems you're a little tangled up there. Did you really think you’d just be able to waltz into my sanctuary? You have no idea how much danger you’re in right now.
You’re lucky that my roses judged you to be a good person at heart or their enchantments would have made you into a rat as soon as you pricked yourself on them. Then my cats would have probably eaten you.
So tell me why you came and I’ll cut you down and pretend I never saw you.
What's the matter trespasser? Devil got your throat?
What brought you here? Just what manner of mortal are you?
Oh it seems it can speak after all. Come on now.
You’re stammering. Talk slower.
A scientist you say? Well well well. It's not often I’m graced with the presence of a sage like yourself.
Tell me, child of science, why would you seek out a sorcerer? I don't suppose you came here just to check out my roses.
And what's this on your neck? Seems to my eyes to be a tendril from a curse mark.
Tongue clicking
Ooooh boy, somebody out there must really not like you huh? Why is that?
More stammering
Actually you know what? I’m not interested. Here let me unsheathe my knife and cut you down.
Cuts them down
Thud
Now I’m going to close my beautiful eyes for a moment. And when I open them you’re going to be gone. I'm going to go back to sleep and in the morning this will just seem like some silly dream.
Understand?
Alright sweet pea.
One
Two
Three
Deep breath
And you’re still here.
Ok let's try again shall we?
One…..
Two……
Frustrated sigh
Ok I’m starting to get a little bit angry now. You know you woke me up from a really wonderful dream?
I was driving down the coast roads in a long silver convertible. I think it was a thunderbird like from that Marc Cohn song.
I had the top down and the radio on. The sea breeze was tossing my hair just so and I had that lovely salty fresh taste in my mouth. You have no idea how much I long to return to the coast. To feel that breeze for real just one more time.
The sun was going down and the sky was a million radiant colors. Just exploding up from the ocean. I had my arm draped around the shoulder of some lounge singer. It was one of the nicest dreams I’ve had in a long long time.
And right in the middle of it, as my favorite song came on over the radio and that good looking singer started to sing along to it, so softly I could barely even hear. I leaned in for the kiss and what happened instead?
I woke up- alerted to a trespasser into my little sanctum. My hair is a mess and my mouth tastes like morning breath. And instead of some gorgeous singer, I get to spend this cloudy damp little night with you.
So you can see how I might be a little unamused right now. Clearly you’re not going to take the off ramp I so generously provided to you so explain why you’re here. It had better be a really good reason.
Listener stammers again
You know what shut up. Let me see that curse mark. The whole thing.
Shhhhh relax i just need to look. Take off your shirt.
Turn around.
Traces their finger over the curse mark
Oh ohh damn. You’re really up the creek aren't you? You’ve been cursed by the fateweaver herself.
I’ve seen this before. It's a very insidious little curse.
Your energy slowly sapped away. Day by day. Everything around you goes greyer and greyer. And then one day your tank finally goes empty and you sit down somewhere, close your eyes and turn into stone, never to stir again. It's a favorite of hers.
What did you do? You don't seem like the defiant type. I'm guessing it was something like speaking out of turn during a meeting. Something stupid and petty like that.
Ohhh you had some “concerns”? Didn't like the implications of what you were being told to research did you?
Laughs
I’ll paint the rest of the picture. You shared these “Concerns” with her, but to your incredible surprise (and nobody else's) instead of listening to your ethical concerns she cursed you.
Listener does not deny it
Hehe yeah I knew it.
I can tell you're the type to assume the best of people aren't you. That’s cute. That's why you came out here just assuming I'd lift your curse out of the kindness of my little old heart isn't it? The evil sorcerer in the heart of the wasteland is surely just a caring good Samaritan deep down.
Well why would I lift the curse even if I could? What's in it for me? Me and the fateweaver have an understanding. She gets the city and the mountains. And I get the wasteland. Sure we're enemies, but frankly she's beaten me. And I'm tired, so why Should I rock the boat for some no name labcoat like you? Why risk another confrontation?
So no, I don't think I’ll be helping you.
You can stay right here if you want though. I think a statue would look really nice right over…. There. Right over on that iron bench by the dry fountain. Make sure you strike a good pose when it starts, Sweet Pea.
Maybe sit right there with your head in your hands. Cry a little bit even. It'll give this place a real melancholy vibe. Maybe I'll let the roses grow over you. That doesn't sound so bad does it? Just try not to make too much noise. I need my beauty sleep. See ya in the morning!
Mocking laugh
Oh you look so cute when the light fades from your eyes like that. Whatcha gonna do? Beg? Cry?
Go right on ahead! Sadder stories than yours have failed to move me! But I love a good begging session as much as the next sorcerer! Come on then! Lets see it.
Listener gets angry. In a tranquil way.
Oooh a death glare. Shiver me timb-
Listener sucker punches them in the gut, tackles them and takes the knife. pinning them to the ground with the knife to their throat.
Wha-oof!!
Oh you're a tricky bastard aren't you? I have to admit that I never would have expected you to punch me in the gut like that. And you got your grubby little hands on my favorite knife.
You think you've got the upper hand don't you? Well go ahead try and slit my throat. Take that knife and do it.
Go on. Try it.
The knife won't cut me. I know it. And if you truly know something it can't hurt you. It's killed enough for me that it knows it won't be trusted by anyone else. That's old magic. Nice try though.
Of course you realize that this means war.
Punches listener in the face
Grunts
Shoves the listener off of them.
They square up with eachother
Come on you fool! Hit me again! Show me that you're made of blood and bone! Show me what you lose if your flesh becomes stone. Stand up for yourself! You deserve to live don't you?
Grunts as they throw a punch. Listener dodges
Well?! Show me that you want it! Show me how bad you want to live!
Dodges a punch
Is that all!? I was just starting to respect you!
Throws another punch and hits the listener. The listener is knocked back and lets out an angry primal yell.
Yeah that's it! Scream! Cry for blood! Get mad! Get angry! Live damn you! Live!
Punches the air
You've got too much to lose to let me stop you! Take your fate into your own hands! You know what you came here for! Take it!
Tries to punch out the listener. The listener dodges and counter punches. Hitting their cheek
Laughter
spits
You made me bite my cheek, you little piece of dirt. First blood goes to you.
My mouth tastes like blood, but tonight the blood tastes like wine. Images are flashing through my mind. Images of the past and the future. You're something else. Worth getting out of bed for at least.
Laughter
So you want to live? You're not the only one. I can help you with that, but it'll cost you.
This curse of yours isn't some run of the mill evil spell. It's not a matter of me just waving my hand and casting a good spell to counter the evil one. There's a reason she's called the fateweaver. You turning into stone has literally been written in the stars. It is your destiny, it's part of the great tapestry of the world's fate.
The sun will rise tomorrow, the river will flow to the sea, the moon shall wax and wane, and you will turn to stone. It is your fate.
Ha! There's always a way. I can change your fate, that's what it means to be a sorcerer after all, to change fate. Come with me. To the well of eternity.
Walking and talking
My estate is built around the well of eternity. It is the bedrock of everything I am. The little seed that became the core of my power, and the link that became the chains that bind me. I wasn't always what I am now. I used to be a dental hygienist, but I had a curse of my own I needed to break. I’ll spare you the gritty details but it led me here from my home dimension.
A great man once compared the world to an optometrist trapped on a rail car with one little hole in the wall. Forced to watch the world pass by but being unable to see where the train was going or where it had been, only where it was at that moment.
That is what it is to be bound by fate, but what if I told you there was a way out of the boxcar?
That great hole in the center of the brick plaza? That's the well of eternity.
We'll have to descend the staircase around it. Watch your step, the stairs are slippery and thin.
Conjures a magical fire for light.
A magical fire burning a brilliant shade of [whatever your favorite color is] it will guide our way.
This world of yours and mine is one of many. All that happens here is one way or another driven by a conflict between those who serve the princess of the tower, the goddess of order. And the Witch of the plains. The goddess of chaos.
The fateweaver serves the former, although she doesn't know it. And I served the latter, even though I despised it. All that happens in every universe on the most fundamental level, is driven by their eternal hatred. So if you ever felt like the gods were fools, well you weren't far off from the truth.
Or in any case that's how it has been explained to me. I'll freely admit I don't understand most things as much as I'd like to. I’m a lot less than I appear to be. Most sorcerers are. We’re all smoke and mirrors. Shadows on the wall. Ghost boxes and card tricks.
They are deep in the well. There's a quiet watery ambience.
The well of eternity may look like water, but in truth it is the stuff that makes up the void between universes. If you submerge yourself into the water you will cease to be a part of this world and the forces that command your destiny will have no power over you. Your life will be your own.
Whispers minus the debt you will be owing me
Wait, I want you to understand what exactly you are doing to yourself.
There was a kingdom once where the tribe of the valley and the tribe of the hill were all times at war. There was a trader who sold to both sides and became fabulously rich.
But one night as he was riding through a small city a great storm arrived suddenly.
He went to the valley tribe for shelter, but they had no love for someone who also knew the people of the hills.
He went to the people of the hills but they would not shelter a man who also knew the people of the valley.
Thus the storm descended upon him and he was without shelter. Even of the worst kind. He was never seen again.
Do you understand?
Look into the waters.
I can show you glimpses of the great cities of the multiverse.
Samandar, The Emerald City, Tanelorn, Coruscant, El Dorado, Tooner Flats, Numinor, Detroit.
None of them will ever be a home for you.
If there is a place anywhere in the multiverse for a soul that has been baptized in the well of eternity I don't know of it. And trust me, I've looked. You can't go home again.
If you let me lower you into these waters your fate will be your own, and that can be a terrible thing. For whatever happens this point forward will be your responsibility. And if things go poorly you will have no one you can blame save for yourself. Are you certain you want this? I won't blame you if you turn back. There are worse fates than being stone. Becoming like me for example.
Look me in the eye and tell me you want this. Only you can make this choice.
Pause
listener nods
Deep breath
Smooch!
For luck
Splash as they push the listener into the water.
Listener is submerged in the water
Swim up! Swim up!
Fade out
Listener wakes up in inside the speakers home on a couch
Hey. How you feeling?
Head hurts right? And it's not just because of that black eye I gave you last night.
You know you saw a lot of stuff in the waters but you can't remember any of it. That's how it went for me at least.
You'll remember what you saw in time. A little bit will come back to you bit by bit. And It will change you, in ways you might not like. Until then well, ignorance is bliss as they say.
Can you sit up?
Good job, drink this. It's spiced wine, it'll calm your senses a little.
They hand the listener a coffee mug full of warm spiced wine
Like it? I whipped it up while you were napping. It’s not magic. Just calming.
Listener suddenly notices that they have a tattoo of a broken chain on their arm.
Oh yeah I see you just noticed your sick tatt. I did mention something about a debt to me did I not?
Hey! I said my help would cost you didnt I? I mean sure yeah I’m basically a saint, but I still need something in return. That tattoo is just a little forget me not. Something to keep that fresh in your mind. Besides, it looks good on you. Gives you that little bit of edginess you’ve been missing.
The broken chain. It's a symbol of mine. There's thirteen links. One for every second you spent under the waters down there.
You see I’ve been thinking and I’ve decided I need to get more active outside of my garden again and I'm gonna need a….
Hmmm minion sounds a little too hierarchical. So does servant. I mean I’m just an ordinary guy/gal. I can't have a servant. Too rich for my blood.
Let's say I'll need a helper. Yeah helper sounds nice. Somebody to do my leg work while I focus on the more technical stuff. You’ll love it. Give you a chance to get out of the lab and punch something. If this bruise on my cheek means anything you’ve got some pent up energy you need to work out.
Simple proposition really. Every time you run an errand for me a link disappears from the chain. Help me out thirteen times and you’re free to go. Unless you ever knowingly lie to me, that's gonna add another link to the chain. In the meantime you can stay here.
Hey have you ever driven a Hi-Lo? Do you think you could steal one?
Visible confusion
Nevermind, we'll talk about errands later.
Finish the wine and take a nap for a while. You’ve had a rough night. And it won't be your last. For better or worse. You chose to live a life without a destiny.
When you wake up I’ll have an errand you can run with me.
Cheek kiss
Sleep tight Trespasser.

2024.06.09 23:58 Zealousideal-Tax-937 A Very Dumb Explanation Of The Four Types Of Transformation Bullets/Arrows And Their Effects

Purification Bullets/Arrows:
The ones meant for purifying a hero turned villain or outright kill the villain. These bullets/arrows have a distinct dark-to-light ombre effect and vary in color, but their outer shells are all the same shape: double edged, with the dark side being pointy and the light side being squishy, yet seeemingly spiky. Once these bullets/arrows are shot and finish going through a victim's body part (it's recommended you hit them in the chest for the best effect), the victim's evil side will be engulfed in lights that are the color(s) they're (the victim, evil or not) associated with. Then their good side revives, and shꝏts a light beam out of their chest and, at the same time, killing the evil side by turning its body to ribbon shaped magic, only leaving their embodied soul, which was purified by the light beam. Then more ribbons appear and cover the soul, creating a replica of the good side's body. The ribbons close up on the soul and this time, instead of ribbons, magic themed after something (e.g./i.e.: snow, nature, fire, air, whatever) will appear and create the victim's clothes (or a basis for their clothes, since if the victim is wearing, say, a flowing dress or baggy clothes, the basis will be put out as form fitting. it's the same situation with shaped clothing, where the basis will be put out as flat). Suddenly, a shapeshifting beam of magic shows up above the victim, and slithers in circles around the victim from head to tœ, revealing their details. During so, the victim moves and spins around. Extra magic makes their accessories (and weapons/makeup if they have any) appear. The victim randomly moves around before landing and striking their ending pose. That or they die by getting dissolved into nothing, but that ONLY applies to people who were born villains. During the "going through'' part, the bad side will be in great pain, enough for it to screech in agony (like the rack from saw 3) as its blꝏd slowly gets out of its body.
Fashion Bullets/Arrows:
The ones meant for disguising or getting pretty. These bullets/arrows are unique, as they vary not just in color, but also in design. The same thing happens once the bullets/arrows hit, only there's no pain (however, the impact is still there), no separate sides, and your whole body doesn't get coated in light. All you get is a change of lꝏks, that's all.
Metamorphosis Bullets/Arrows:
The ones meant for species/age/gendewhatever change. These bullets/arrows have their sides decorated differently, depending on the change. Also depending on the change is how the transformation gœs. If the change is from human to, say, fairy or angel, the victim will grow wings. If it's from human to merperson/siren, the victim's legs will be turned into energy and will tie up to become a merperson tail. If it's from human to elf, the victim's ears get pointy. But what if it's from human to alicorn??? Simple, the human victim's body turns into a shell, then the victim, now an alicorn, comes crawling out of it, then the shell will get sucked up into the alicorn's body. Then, 2 slithering beams of light will go tœ to head and head to toe respectively, and BAM, transfiguration finished.
Power Up Bullets/Arrows:
The ones meant for when you need an extra bꝏst. These bullets can light up when they're about to pierce through the victim's body. Though the effects this one produces are a bit different. Once the bullet/arrow strikes, the victim will not feel pain, but an overwhelming amount of power, so much so that their heart starts beating way faster than it should. The victim's clothes will shine. An aura will surround said victim and the shape shifting beam of light returns, but decides to stay at their feet. The beam of light spins around the victim's body, but now it's going tœ to head, changing the victim's clothes (while still keeping the colors and patterns) and giving them superpowers. Their eyes start to open wide, and they flloat around in their new form while the afromentioned aura grows stronger. Finally, they'll move around, before striking a pose.
