da shillzone

just gonna make a fucking. megapost of affiliate and referral links for anyone who wants to support me and also get deals or whatever. i'm gonna try to be pretty clear about what i get for things also.

you get a thing, i get a thing:

Everand, formerly Scribd: read 'unlimited' (ish) books, use my link to get two free months and I also get a free month.

Mubi: it's not movies, it's cinema (it's movies). Use my link and we both get a free month.

Reel Paper: it's bamboo toilet paper with no plastic packaging and so far it's been the only one I like. It's a subscription and also spendy compared to regular toilet paper but I'm spoiled now. Use my link and we both get $15 off.

MeUndies: it's the fucking podcast underwear. I know. I know. They had a Halloween collection and I'm weak. It's so comfy I'm mad about it. Use my link and you get 20% off your first order, I get a $20 credit, enough to buy One Whole Underwear.

Unique Vintage: it's clothes, I like the collabs and am still mad about missing out on the Pusheen skirt. Don't buy anything full price imho, quality can vary WILDLY. My link will get you $10 off a $75 order and I get a $10 credit. Not the best deal but whatever.

YNAB: I was spending too much money on podcast underwear so I signed up for You Need A Budget to trick me into thinking money is real. So far it is the first thing to have ever successfully tricked me into treating money as real, and my debt situation has improved exponentially. It's $15 a month or $99 a year and my link gets you a free month, if you sign up after the trial I also get a free month.

ProtonMail: privacy-focused alternative to gmail, switching is easy peasy and it's free. Use my link to get a free month of the fancy paid version, and if you decide to sign up I get $10 off my renewal (because I pay for the fancy version).

i get straight cash:

Humble Bundle and the Humble Store: use my link to buy some video games or book bundles and I get a cut. Signing up for Humble Choice after clicking my link also gets me paid. This is literally the only referral program that pays me worth a damn.

the amazon quarantine:

amazon sucks and doesn't pay for shit except 'bounties' so ignoring all of this is fine actually. i get pennies for most things. it's bad.

Here's the fucking. 'influencer page' that Amazon gave me. I don't really know how it works. Anyway the rest of this is bounties.

You can use SNAP EBT on Amazon, apparently if you register a card using my link I get five bucks.

Audible Plus, if you use my link and sign up for a free trial I get $5 and if you actually pay I get another $10.

Audible Premium Plus is the same deal.

Amazon Prime Video, I get $3 if you sign up for a free trial.

Audible Gift Subscription, buy one for someone and I get either $8 or $10 depending on whether it's 12 months or not.

non-referral gifts:

maybe you would rather just send me a dollar or some cookies or whatever so i'll put all that here

I've got tipping enabled on this post lmao

Here's my ko-fi

Here's my Amazon wishlist, I have the occasional expensive thing on there because I also use it for things I plan to buy myself eventually

Here's my Throne, I have surprise gifts enabled so in theory you can send me random weird shit as a prank if that's something that appeals to you

#original #affiliate links jsyk #i wanted to have these all in one place even though it's probably a bad look lmao

update again ✨

Thanks again for all your well wishes about the move, I am currently in the process of unpacking and organizing! Still spending a lot of money on furniture and stuff bc I have none but that’s okay because I’ve been saving money specifically for this 😅 anyway now that I’m trying to get settled I feel like I can get a head start in some other things, so here’s some announcements:

1) I’d like to order pins and patches for us! But since I am eating through my savings I can only pay for one on my own :,) I made it a ko-fi goal (link here) to hopefully fundraise enough to be able to order pins so I can open shop with them. Here’s a mock up/colored version of what I’ll send to the company, and see how close we can get:

2) because two (2) people have asked I do in fact have an amazon wishlist for things I’d like for the apartment! As soon as I get a bed frame and a desk in here I can start showing off my room lol but it is still a Mess. So this is absolutely completely unnecessary but on the off chance you both have extra cash and would like to send a housewarming gift, here’s the link to that.

Neither of these are expected honestly, I will always understand if donating/funding is just not in the cards. Or if you just don’t feel like it lol that’s cool too, either way I hope you guys have a great rest of October and I hope to be back in full force very soon 🥰 (and if you can only pick one let’s get some pins in here, that’s the thing we can all enjoy)

#Emry’s back asking for more money 🙄 smh #uh yeah I appreciate all of you #even just nice tags #actually especially just nice tsgs #they give me the serotonin boost I need for the day #I’m just!!#finally in my own place!!!!#surreal #not art sorry guys #life update #kofi

How to get football autographs: a crash course

Fair warning: this will be a long post.

We’ve all heard it by now: the best way to get footballer autographs is to attend open trainings or wait outside their hotels and stadiums on match days. But what if you live far away or can’t afford to fly to training or games? Not to worry! Whether you’re a collector, a fan, or a little bit of both like me, quite a few clubs are still willing to send out autograph cards, as long as you send them a stamped addressed envelope.

You’ll find helpful how-to videos on how to do just that, along with links to some country stamp websites, below. These videos actually inspired this post:

youtube

Postal service links:

United Kingdom

https://shop.royalmail.com/postage-and-packaging/first-and-second-class-stamps - You can’t print UK stamps, but you can buy them off the Royal Mail website (see above link) or off Amazon in most cases

Germany

https://shop.deutschepost.de/shop/internetmarke/selectPostageIM.jsp?invalidAccess=true#porto-international (you’ll want to buy the printable compact letter—Kompaktbrief in German—stamps for 1,70€)

Spain

https://www.correos.es/es/en/companies/send/stamps - Unfortunately, I’m completely useless at navigating the Spanish postal service (AKA Correos), but here’s the link regardless. Maybe you’ll have better luck than me 😅

France

You can buy printable stamps using the link above

Postage Questions:

What materials will I need to send a request?

You’ll need a letter containing your autograph request, 2 envelopes (one bigger and one smaller), a stamp/stamps (depending on size and weight) from your country and the stamp/stamps of the destination country.

I’ve bought my stamps. What size envelopes should I get?

I recommend getting c4 envelopes, as they’ll be big enough to hold your autograph request letter. These will be the envelopes you’ll mail out. If you go with a c4 envelope, I’d recommend purchasing c5 envelopes as your smaller envelope. These will be the envelopes the clubs return to you with the autograph cards inside, and you’ll slide them into your c4 envelope when you’re ready to mail them.

Be sure to include the club’s mailing address and your country’s stamp on the large envelope and your address + their country’s stamp on the smaller one

Where can I find a club’s mailing address?

You can usually find a club’s mailing address, along with their attitude towards fanmail, on the “contact us” tab on their webpage. If you can’t find it there, search the name of the club on fanmail.biz; they have the mailing address of just about every football club you can imagine.

What should I put in my autograph request letter?

The main thing here is to include which footballers’ autographs you want (if you don’t have a preference, you don’t have to do this; you can always say you’d be happy to add whatever player cards they’re willing to send to your collection, or something like that lol). Apart from that, what you include is entirely up to you! I wouldn’t recommend sending a super long letter, but if you want to add a personal touch, you can always mention one of your favorite memories of that club and their achievements. It doesn’t hurt to throw in a thank you at the end either :) one last note: you can address your letter to the club or the player whose autograph you’re requesting; it’s entirely up to you!

Do I have to send a stamped addressed envelope to every club?

Not necessarily. If you want to save money on stamps and envelopes, try emailing the clubs first. If you’re lucky, they’ll send the autograph cards directly to you and pay for the postage :)

Now onto the most important question: does it work? The answer is that it depends on the club you’re sending the request to and sometimes even the league they play in. I’ll break it down by league below, detailing either my own experiences writing to the club (if I’ve written to the club and heard back, I’ll state it outright) or that of YouTubers who have reached out to them. If you don’t see your club here, assume they either don’t reply to fanmail, or I haven’t heard of any success stories yet.

Premier League

Some Prem clubs still send out autographs, but not all. Here’s the ones that do:

Manchester United - pre-covid I’m pretty sure they sent out only hand-signed autographs upon request. Unfortunately, they seem to have cut back a bit on this in recent years; nowadays they tend to send a mix of hand-signed and pre-printed, facsimile signatures (this was the case for me when I wrote to them a few months ago and a few YouTubers that wrote to them as well). Still, pretty amazing given the size of the club that they’re willing to do this. As a United fan, I can’t help but feel a little proud :)

Liverpool - they definitely take the “you’ll never walk alone” motto literally, because they also still answer autograph requests with squad photos and signatures, at least as of 2021. To add a personal touch, they usually include a certificate with your name on it. Even though they’re United’s biggest rivals, I can’t help but respect them for this.

Arsenal - another big club that’s not too big for their fans; to my knowledge, they still send out hand-signed autographs. In doing research for this post, I even stumbled upon a video of someone who got an Arsenal match program, 2 squad photos, and autographs on the back of one of them. Talk about a big haul!

Tottenham - usually send pre-signed, photocopied autograph cards

Chelsea - sent out pre-signed, facsimile autograph prints as of 2021

Manchester City - sends out facsimile signatures only, according to several YouTubers (I’ve never contacted the club personally, so I’m not sure if this is still the case). If you do reach out to them, let me know what you hear back!

Crystal Palace - hit-or-miss. They tend to reply with pre-signed squad photos. They usually include a “south london and proud” bracelet from what I understand though, which is a fun perk!

West Ham - you might hear back from them, you might not (I didn’t when I tried a few months ago, but I know several other people did). If they do reply, you’ll likely receive hand-signed photos.

Aston Villa - sent out mostly pre-signed cards as of 2021

Everton - sent out predominantly hand-signed cards as of 2020

Leicester - send out a mix of photocopied and hand-signed cards, as of 2020 - they generally include player cards from the entire squad

Bournemouth - sent out pre-printed cards as of 2021

Newcastle - still sent out hand-signed photographs as of 2020

Bundesliga

If you want hand-signed autographs, look no further than the Bundesliga. In my experience, they send out the most hand-signed cards of any football league, and it’s not even close. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a club that doesn’t send out hand-signed cards. I’m assuming it’s the same story for the 2. Bundesliga (I know Schalke sends out hand-signed cards at the very least).

Bayern Munich - generally, they prefer you purchase cards on their website. Unfortunately, you have to be a member to buy signed cards on there; otherwise, you have to settle for pre-signed prints. That said, I’m pretty sure that if you purchase the player cards on the website and send a few back to the club to be signed, they will return them with official autographs. I sent in a request for Manuel Neuer’s autograph earlier this year and enclosed his player card, and they sent it back hand-signed. I included my membership number in my request just in case, but I know they’ve sent hand-signed autographs to non-members in the past (i.e. the YouTuber mentioned towards the beginning of this post). If you do reach out to Bayern, let me know how it goes. My fingers are crossed for you regardless 🤞

Borussia Dortmund - probably the most reliable of the Bundesliga clubs when it comes to autograph requests. They now limit you to 4 footballers per request, so you’ll have to be selective. That said, they usually reply quickly and send out hand-signed autographs every time. I have yet to hear of anyone who hasn’t received something back when they sent an autograph request to BVB.

Bayer Leverkusen - when I requested autographs from them, they sent me some back. I requested 3 players’ autographs, along with Xabi Alonso’s, and received all 4 cards back hand-signed. Quite a few YouTubers have had success hearing from them as well. Even though they’re having a fantastic season, they clearly haven’t neglected their fanmail, which is cool to see :)

Eintracht Frankfurt - sends out hand-signed autograph cards, even as of this season (they sent hand-signed cards when I reached out to them two months ago). If they’re your club, you’re in luck.

VfB Stuttgart - hand-signed cards

RB Leipzig - hand-signed cards

FC Union Berlin - hand-signed cards (I haven’t heard back from them yet, but it’s only been a week and a half at this point)

SC Freiburg - hand-signed cards

Borussia Mönchengladbach - hand-signed cards (I just heard back from them a week ago, and I think I got a mix of hand-signed cards and pre-signed prints)

FC Augsburg - hand-signed cards

SV Werder Bremen - hand-signed cards

VfL Wolfsburg - hand-signed cards

VfL Bochum - hand-signed cards, sometimes of the entire team.

TSG Hoffenheim - hand-signed cards, often of the entire team

FC Köln - hand-signed cards

FSV Mainz - hand-signed cards, often of majority of the squad

La Liga

If you’re a fan of a Spanish club, you might be a lot less lucky, sadly. Only one club still sends out hand-signed autographs to my knowledge, and only one other club sends anything back in response to fanmail.

Real Madrid - occasionally sends out posters with pre-printed, facsimile signatures.

Sevilla - this is the club to ask for hand-signed autographs. That said, you probably won’t get more than one or two. I’d recommend being specific about which player(s)’ autographs you want in order to avoid being disappointed.

Ligue 1

Maybe the French league is more your speed. It’s a mixed bag here; while few answer fanmail, the ones that do are more often than not the most generous of any football clubs on this list.

PSG - the Parisians do still respond to autograph requests, but pretty much exclusively send out facsimile signatures.

Olympique de Marseille - have sent out pre-signed cards of their entire team in the past, along with a poster

FC Metz - sent out a mix of hand-signed autographs and pre-signed prints as of 2021

LOSC Lille - sent out autograph cards as of 2021

OGC Nice - sent out autograph cards as of 2021

RC Strasbourg - sends out autographed postcards, and if you’re lucky, they might include a squad photo and some stickers along with it :)

AS Saint-Étienne - send out hand-signed cards, although I’ve also seen them send squad photos addressed to the recipient, along with 2 issues of their club’s magazine

Eredivisie

PSV Eindhoven - sometimes send out autograph cards with facsimile signatures (pre-prints)

Swiss Super League

FC Basel - sent out hand-signed cards as of 2021

BSC Young Boys - sent out hand-signed cards as of 2021

Austrian Football Bundesliga

SK Rapid Wien - sent out hand-signed cards as of 2021

LASK - hand-signed cards (as of 2021)

Scottish Premiership

Glasgow Rangers - occasionally sends pre-signed prints (at least, as of 2021)

Ekstraklasa

All clubs listed below have sent out hand-signed autograph cards in the past:

Śląsk Wrocław

Legia Warszawa

Lech Poznań

A-League

Western Sydney Wanderers - signed squad photo

MLS

Whether you’ve got a particular club in mind or you’re just a fan of one of the big stars (i.e. Messi), you’re probably in for disappointment. Autograph collecting isn’t super big in the U.S., and MLS treats autograph requests accordingly.

Seattle Sounders - one of the only two clubs in MLS that actually sends a response to autograph requests - one lucky collector was even able to get a hat signed by the entire squad! (see here)

NYCFC - sends out hand-signed autograph cards occasionally, usually only one or two

*side note: unfortunately, it seems like most people have only reached out to European clubs, (with the exception of the A-League and MLS), so I can’t speak to whether clubs on other continents fulfill autograph requests. If you reach out to any clubs in leagues not mentioned here, let me know and I’ll update the list :)

Lingering questions:

How long does it take to hear back from clubs?

In my experience as someone living in the UK, I’ve heard back from every club I reached out to within 2-3 weeks (closer to the 2 week mark in most cases). It depends on how far away you live from the club though. I heard back from Manchester United within a week of mailing my request, but they were the exception, not the rule.

Tldr: expect to hear back within a month (maybe a month and a half in extreme cases)

Do clubs answer autograph requests during the off-season?

In my experience, no. I tried this a few years back with no success.

Can I send a shirt to be signed by a player?

I wouldn’t recommend it, as you may not get it back. If you do, the club will probably just return it to you unsigned. You’re better off just requesting an autograph card imo.

Do national teams send autograph cards?

Some do! Last I’ve heard, the German national team still answers requests with authentic signatures and the Croatian national team has sent out signed cards previously as well. The Czech Republic sends out unsigned squad cards. Last but not least, the Dutch national team has sent out fan posters in the past.

Apart from David MC’s autograph series, here’s some of the other videos that helped form this list:

In November 2023, my friend and roommate Sam was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia. She was in the hospital for two months, including a week in a medically induced coma following an allergic reaction to her chemo and another week in physical rehab. Since she came home in early January they've been back at the clinic in Northside Hospital almost every day for chemo treatments and other procedures. It's been a bumpy road, dealing with medication allergies and debilitating side effects, on top of the lost muscle definition from being in a coma for a week.

Sam's husband David is now our sole regular income. His job has been very gracious in letting him work from Sam's hospital room or do split shifts when he needs to so he can drive back and forth to the hospital (an hour each way, in Atlanta traffic) so he can keep up 40-hour weeks on top of everything Sam needs. In an otherwise normal situation, that might be enough. But add in his and his daughter's diabetic supplies, treatments for his anemia and blood pressure, and having to pay Sam's insurance out of our own pocket, and it's Not Great, Bob.

We're working with hospital financial aid and other assistance orgs, but they're a long-term plan just based on how long it takes to make it through the system. We need help in the right now. So many people have been so helpful so far and we appreciate it so much, but it's still a long road ahead and something seems to happen every other week to try to knock us off of it.

These are ways you can help, if you can/are able:

GFM

Paypal

Cashapp ($ceraphena)

Venmo

Redbubble

Teepublic

Amazon List (for help with groceries)

Linktree of digital gift cards

+ if you'd like to send digital gift cards from somewhere that lets you send them via email, you can address them to [email protected]. Places like Walmart, Kroger, and Publix are great, as well as gas stations like Racetrac or QuikTrip.

If you want more regular or direct updates, you can follow David on the clock app here (@/bubofinis).

I do want to emphasize how grateful we are to everyone who's donated or helped in any way; y'all have paid Sam's insurance. You've bought insulin. You've bought CGM sensors and transmitters. Hell, sometimes you've even just bought dinner, but sometimes that's all it takes. Thank you all so much, for everything.

Here's Sam's kitten Hancock waiting at their bedroom door for Sam to come out.

My parents found out about the present I bought myself for my birthday. I worked my max hours to afford it. I had it shipped to my bfs house so they wouldn't see it. Apparently I missed a receipt that was hidden in the box. Idk how they got it anyway cause I put the box out with the trash/recycling. My mom was being so cruel about it and how I keep buying myself "lavish" gifts (most stuff I buy for fun is like $10-$50 max). I always plan my purchases and have never missed a credit card payment. Most of my money goes towards doctors visits, medication, car maintenance and gas, accessibility items/ergonomic stuff, cat food and litter, and hygiene. Recently I stopped most of my subscriptions save for a cheap minecraft server. The bulk of my pay goes into savings which have really grown since I got my raise. I also give my parents $400 in rent each month. I'm trying to save up for a recliner to replace my bed but I don't want to use the money I've already put away.

Like ok, maybe I'm not mr.frugal. maybe i sometimes buy more expensive things because they're more convenient (like already cut vegetables/fruit or preprepared meals) but like my hands fucking hurt and sometimes I don't have the spoons to feed myself. Maybe I fall prey to impulse purchases once in a while. Im learning and I'm trying to learn how to budget bc now I have to also pay for insurance until I can get on medicaid.

My mom acts like I don't care. She sees amazon packages come for me and think theyre all toys or expensive skincare or junk when its actually body wipes for when I cant shower/so i dont come back from the field to the office all stinky. Its a trash can I can keep on my bedshelf so I dont throw trash onto the floor instead. Its knee braces because my knees fucking suck. Once in a while Ill see something on sale that ive been wanting for a while and will grab it. And the most expensive skincare I use is $20 for a jar that lasts me 3 months. I have to keep my skin clear or ill pick and have scabs and blood all over my face again. I spend money on drag because it MAKES me money. Last time I got paid $100 from the venue and $50 in tips. One time I got paid $300 from the venue (i dont remember how much in tips).

Im trying my best. Im working with 3 government agencies rn to get a job and get health coverage. Im working my ass off at my job when i probably shouldnt be working (my mom laughed when I mentioned this). I'm constantly doing things to earn me money or to make life a bit less painful. Even streaming is a desperate attempt to make a career/side gig out of something I enjoy and doesn't make me flare up. I only watch shows when im with my bf or when im doing chores or working. I rarely play video games. When I flare I lay in bed and scroll Tumblr or play a mindless dress up game where I only have to move my thumb. I cry almost everyday. I cry on the way to work. I cry holding my cat in so much pain i cant move.

The only big frivilous purchases I've made is the present and a new graphics card (I haven't replaced my old one in a decade). The present cost $230 and the graphics card cost $800. Both of these I saved for. I might buy a nice skirt once in a while but thats pretty much it. I also spread out big purchases over time when I can.

Am I spoiled? Maybe. Maybe my parents are right and I'm a lazy spoiled kid who just makes excuses. But my pain is real, constant, and severe.

I have friends who's birthday presents consist of trips to fucking italy or the bahamas. Who complain when their parents drag them on yet another international vacation. Some are amazing people who are grateful and work their asses off. And some of them are a bit entitled. My mom said most 26 year olds are living on their own with jobs and I fucking laughed. The only 26 year olds with their own apartments especially in my area either have 5 roommates in a 2 bedroom shithole, got lucky and have a high paying tech job, their parents pulled strings to get them hired, or their parents are paying partly or fully for their apartment.

And when i tried to find an apartment? She discouraged me and told me id never be able to afford one (correct) but now im suddenly able to when it suits her argument? Ive been heavily job hunting for over a year and got ONE interview who ghosted me after two interviews. I make $2k MAX. Rent in my area is $1700-2500 for a freaking studio. The $1700 one doesn't let you see the apartment and gets snapped up immediately. And these are all apartments within a 2 hour radius. All the "affordable housing" is for people 55 and older.

Like I literally have no options. I can't move until I get a job in that area. I can't leave the country cause Im disabled and also thats fucking expensive. My bf makes less than me and even combined we couldn't afford a place.

Literally, I've never been suicidal before. Ive never struggled with that due to my fear of death. But all of this? Ive recently had suicidal thoughts and its fucking scary. Thoughts that killing myself would make it easier for everyone else. That it would be easier to just end it, that life will always be a living hell and i should just give up. And thats fucking scary! I shouldn't have those thoughts! But that's how bad it is.

I try to do what my therapist told me. I try to set boundaries. But setting a boundary means not eating dinner bc I leave when my parents yell at me. I try to think positively and ignore the pain. I probably walk an average of 1-2 miles a day. I try and try and try and it hurts so much. They can't be proud of me? For even big victories? Guilting me about graduation cause I took too long. Keeping a job for more than a year (its not a REAL job cause its hourly and doesnt have benefits).

Like what's the point? I've been fighting and fighting and most of the world wants to see me dead and gone anyway. I'm trying to work in a field that doesn't even consider people like me. If I cant work Ill just bring my boyfriend and my family down. Every step forward I manage to take I get dragged back 10.

Im so tired and ashamed and stressed and my fucking body hurts worse now because of the stress and i just dont want to wake up tomorrow.

Got stuck in an insane rabbit hole last night reading about negative experiences, overdoses, and deaths caused by research chemicals, especially the 2C-B-fly/fake """LSD""" bromo-dragonfly mislabeling and resulting deaths from 2009.

It was easy to find the threads that were basically ground zero since those forums and Reddit are obviously still around. But something that really annoyed me was how every time someone suggested that this get taken to the mainstream news to warn people since people were dropping like flies and the dealer who imported the mislabeled drug literally died from it after selling and shipping it out there was now literally no way to get the contact info of the people who bought it from him.... Someone would show up and freak out about how this SHOULDN'T go to the mainstream news because they will just use it to demonize drugs, research chemicals, and the OG drugs that are analog to the research chemicals (e.g another teen dies from fake MDMA the DEA is cracking down on designer drugs even harder now). All this hush hush thinking was in the name of the end goal of legalization obviously. It's just caused me to see clearer and clearer how much lip service is payed towards drug transparency and harm reduction from the supposed harm reduction fans. Besides the news got out regardless because at least 4 people died and there were multiple hospitalizations. And 2C-B is controlled anyway. All of it was in vain, and for what? being able to legally buy sketchy af fly by night Chinese chem lab psychedelics with Amazon gift cards for a shitty chemically trip that might cause you to die in agony? "Research chemicals are safer than street drugs because we know exactly what's in there" until you don't.

A few thoughts on the partnership between EA and Overwolf/CurseForge...

Personally, I think this is a bad idea on so many levels.

First of all, CurseForge pays creators. They generate money through ad revenue, so the downloads aren't really "ad-free". They just won't put a trojan virus on your computer.

CurseForge has what they call the "Reward System" and if you opt into it, you can get paid for your mods/CC. They aren't shy about saying that you get more reward points the more popular your project is. The points can then be converted into Amazon gift cards (in some countries) or actual money via PayPal deposits.

Essentially, what this means is that the creators who are already super popular and earning full-time job level amounts of money from their mods/CC will have yet another revenue stream (because Overwolf doesn't limit your ability to post on other platforms, such as Patreon or Boosty). Inversely, it means that small creators will earn very little, because one point is $0.05 USD (five cents). You would have to get at least 100 downloads just to earn $5, because they will not pay out in increments lower than $5.

I can tell you, 100 downloads sometimes feels like a lot. I have some creations with thousands of downloads, and some that have less than 100. Exposure and popularity have as much to do with this as with the actual content itself. Small-to-medium creators are not going to earn much from CurseForge, so that's not going to encourage them to join if they're in it as a side hustle. Patreon is still far more attractive in that regard. And if a creator is not into the commercialization of CC at all, then CurseForge may not be the best choice either, assuming they get approved to use it in the first place.

Let's talk a bit more about small or less popular creators. From my understanding, everyone is going to be allowed to apply to put their creations on CurseForge, no matter how big or small, but every creator will be vetted by Overwolf/EA (or "curated" as they put it). I can already see this being a problem for small-to-medium creators, people who are doing mesh edits, tuning mods and recolours. I have seen some absolutely brilliant mesh edits and recolours out there, offered to the community for free, but I suspect not all of these would be accepted by CurseForge. All this is going to do is create further divisions in a community that is already fractured and divided over the monetization of mods/CC and the gap between "popular" creators and small-to-medium creators. It's going to create a competition between creators that should not exist.

CurseForge is also, quite understandably, restrictive in the type of content it will allow. This means any mods that are questionable (sex, drugs, branded clothing & items, etc.) will not be permitted. If you want a mod to give your sim realistic genitalia, or you want them to have an Addidas hoodie, CurseForge is not the place to find it. This will either stifle the creativity of the community, or force these things further underground than they already are. Either way, it's problematic.

I get why EA is doing this, and from a business perspective, it makes total sense. It's about money and control. If they can get enough "good" creators on board now, and get the community used to the idea of one centralized hub for "authorized" CC, it'll be easier to eliminate revenue sources like Patreon later, and easier to make CurseForge the exclusive place to get CC when Sims 5/Project René (it's "reen" without the accent lol) eventually comes along. It's brilliant from a money-making perspective, but it does a huge disservice to the fanbase in my opinion, especially to creators who will never get enough (or any) exposure on CurseForge.

I know this is a bit of a rant, but my immediate instinct when I heard about the Overwolf/EA partnership was a hard no. Personally, I have no intention of trying to join CurseForge as a creator, even when the opportunity becomes available, and I sure as hell won't be downloading anything from it and giving money to people who shouldn't be turning mods/CC into a job in the first place. I've never contributed to the monetization of CC yet, and I'm not about to start doing it now.

Hey, idk when everyone here fills their taxes, but you totally should spend these 3-4 hours and review last year's expenses, see what are the "black holes" regarding money (mine? My prepaid credit card that I use on Amazon), what were the extra expenses (if you need to keep fixing something maybe it's better to check if you can substitute it), what are the things you can't live without (my 100€/month in books. No regrets, although I probably should go for used books if I want a physical copy of something)

My bank app already did this job for me, although it misses few things that I manually fix. I should do this once a month.

Remember also that big expenses like a new phone, gym membership(I do this for expenses over 150€/year)needs to be divided into a monthly one. I do this, at least, so I don't find myself surprised with a 400€ bill that "came out of nowhere". Even if you pay in one setting that's useful.

Review also what subscriptions you use and what you don't. Maybe you can subscribe for that month only and cancel it when you don't use it? Gift cards are so useful for this job.

Also, we all have needs. I need to buy new clothes because mine are all old (like 10+ years old) and they don't match with the rest of the things, I have no style other than my office clothes- how much can I actually spend to renew my wardrobe? 50€/month? Well on used clothing apps etc I can buy a lot with that money. I bought a pair of Doc martens slightly used for 50€ once.

My biggest expense is... Health, which will reduce when I'm done with therapy. I plan to save that money from that moment onwards.

(also my finances are not that good currently because 500€/month in bills this winter killed my bank account. But it's a process, and learning how to manage money is fundamental.)

Share Your Voice

An international team of research linguists is putting together the largest corpus (database) of spoken American conversation ever created, and they’re paying participants to record conversations for them!

You get a $25 Amazon gift card plus an entry to win a $50 Amazon gift card for every 2 hours of recordings you submit.

This awesome project will be used to study all sorts of things, including:

how dialects vary by region

how different demographics (gender, age, ethnicity, etc.) use language

how language is changing over time

which words are most frequently used, helping language learners know which words to focus on

and many other topics!

I always put off actually using all my Amazon gift cards from participating in research studies, because then I have to text the whole family and remind them to check how they're paying so they don't accidentally use mine. Sat down today to pool together everything from the last year or two (minus a couple I've actually used) and, man, it feels like a shopping spree from my teen years, the way I counted money in terms of how many books I could buy, ya know? In addition to a tea kettle and much-needed sneakers, I'm excited to acquire four new books in the near future, and hoping it's the right season to read them soon (though I fully believe in buying the book when it speaks to you and it will let you know when the stars align to actually read it, even years later):

Good Bones by Maggie Smith (because I need new poetry, and I really liked the last Maggie Smith collection I read)

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (because every quote I've read from this strikes me straight in the soul, and I want to highlight and annotate it as heavily as my copy of The Handmaid's Tale, I need something more literary in the rotation again)

Thirty-Two Words for Field: Lost Words of the Irish Landscape by Manchán Magan (because Ireland and Ianguage and obscurities, all my favorite things)

The Gospel Comes With a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World by Rosaria Butterfield (actually what prompted me to sit down and do this in the first place, I want to learn more about the biblical practice of hospitality as I work on faithfully answering that calling)

Hey :) I was considering getting into audio commissions myself and was wondering if you had any advice surrounding pricing and such. Do you charge a flat fee or does it depend on the request?

This advice is going to assume you've done audios before.

Always get payment up front and be clear about how long it will take you. Don't give sneak peeks before you have a completed product. Don't take half payment then, and then the other half upon completion.

2. I charge by the minute, 5.50 for SFW and 6.50 for NSFW. That might sound a lot to some people but this is actually cheap compared to others I have seen.

3. If you have international customers the best way to receive payment that isn't Pay pal (I don't want to give up my real name) is through an Amazon gift card. I use amazon gc's across the board, personally.

4. Understand you will get requests you aren't super into but you will need to perform as well as though you love it. This doesn't mean you should break your personal hard and/or soft limits, however. AND FEEL FREE TO SAY YOU AREN'T COMFORTABLE DOING AN AUDIO. You don't need to explain why either. Offer them something else! A lot of folks are flexible.

5. Don't overwork yourself. Curating an audio can be exhausting between writing, editing & performing. I always want to give my commissioners the best audio I can, thus I limit myself to how many I will do at a time & how long they will be.
