What does the industry think about these things?
- Fantasy sports
- Loot boxes
- Pokemon cards
Each version has it's form of gambling that isn't entirely looked down upon. For educational purposes - Can we put guardrails up so that it may feel controlled, safe for the youth and open up opportunities for Esports/Gaming to grow?
I'm happy we get to see more deadlock tournaments, but 1win is not it. Not only have they done some shady copystriking in the past, they're literally a casino and the event is only watchable on their website.
They will send a copystrike to your channel if you watch the tournament in-game, even though they have 0 rights to the content in-game as it is owned by Valve, at least AFAIK - I'm not a lawyer.
They'll block the MatchID. They force you to watch it on their website. All so they can promote 1win and their gambling. I understand that this is really the only tournament with significant money in Deadlock, but it's just them trying to normalize gambling.
You can literally already place bets on Deadlock games on their website.
I don't fault the players or even the staff for working on the event, I understand people want to participate in Deadlock tournaments and there are not a lot of options. But I do think we should be careful as a community of normalizing gambling.
Damn.... It'd be a shame if the IRS got hit, we the American people would be extremely devastated since we love paying out taxes 👀😩
🚨ALARMING: Power outage hits Washington, D.C., a day before the U.S. midterm elections.
Nearly 80,000 customers are WITHOUT power across the U.S., including outages in Washington, D.C., per PowerOutage's data.
- Pepco reports 1,176 customers without power in Foggy Bottom, just blocks from the White House.
- Traffic lights and federal facilities, including the State Department, are affected.
- A substation failure is the probable cause. No restoration time is confirmed.
- The outage affected about 1,800 customers near Morristown and voting sites in Wittmann and Circle City.
- Brief AT&T connectivity issues also affected some voter check-in devices.
- Officials said 99% were functioning and no voters were turned away.
If I have to turn off the Halloween notifications for discord one more time... We're moving back to Slack
If you’re ever wrongly accused… you know your truth
They also look you in the eye and still lie to you.
Do you swallow your pride and ego and just let it go?
What would you do because there is more at stake…
This is spot pretty spot on. I’ve spoken to plenty of founders in the space that we won’t even attempt it. I’m willing to bet we have the same growing list of agencies, Julian.
There is a growing list of gaming agencies that we won't even attempt to do business with anymore at Neuroptima b/c they are so incompetent.
A lot of players are missing out on sponsorship opportunities because we turn away the instant we see a certain email/agency in their bio.
You get on a call with these people, and they waste your time, don't follow up like they say they will, and DON'T EVEN KNOW BASIC PUBLIC INFO ABOUT THE PERSON THEY REPRESENT!! They do this on a call for one person they represent, and now they've created a bad name that hurts EVERYONE else they represent.
Players, choose wisely before you sign – see if the agency is actually sourcing sponsors for its talent. See the rate at which their talent gets signed/re-signed to orgs. And never just go with the first option you chat to because they sell themselves well; always compare options ‼️
Holy MIRACLE…. Day 1 and almost a max recovery.
Highest my HRV has ever been this year and lowest RHR. No stress while sleeping?!
Day 1 adding Pinealon into my monthly beginning of the month Epitalon cycle

Go use AI before it's too late
Kidding... the other models like Sol & Luna are already catching up and -50% the cost of usage.
You don't need to drive a lambo everyday to the grocery store but you can if you want to
Other intelligence models getting 50% cheaper on usage is amazing to hear
Analogy:
- Luna and Sonnet (Teslas)
- Fable/Opus & Astra (Supercars)
No need to drive the supercar everyday to run errands.
You can though if you want lol
I've been using AI for a few years. Try this!
Something simple that I've learned and has helped me tremendously as a founder was rather than waiting on people, processes or reports. Let AI identify signals for you and cut through all the noise.
What you should do is wire things into a place that you can see immediately every day and make decisions fast and in realtime
Not only does it allow you to move fast off customer feedback but it also removes all the unnecessary processes in between allow you to have the most important thing in business "SPEED"

Stop scrolling for a second.
I just want you to pause for a moment. We live in the most incredible time to be alive in the history of this species
Every other day a new revolutionary product drops that gives you more freedom, power, and ability to do ANYTHING you want
LITERALLY every other day
A couple weeks ago Astra gave you super intelligence. Today Opus gives you super intelligence at lightning speeds for dirt cheap. Soon Meta glasses will come out that let you talk to a super intelligent personal agent everywhere you go
Every day technology makes your life better and better. Every day you're capable of accomplishing more. Every day you have the ability to help out your fellow man more than ever before
For thousands of years nothing happened. But today, everything is happening
Please just take a moment and realize how incredible, awe inspiring, violently beautiful this all is
If you are one of the pessimists that haven't realized the incredible nature of what is happening right now, I beg you to view this world through a different lens
Being alive right now is the greatest gift God has ever given us. I hope everyone realizes this soon enough
