What kind of coach would rather never do conditioning again than stop lifting heavy?In this episode of Pack Mentality, Matt sits down with Coach Aaron to dig into his no-BS philosophy on strength, coaching, and why most people stay stuck for years in the same spot.You'll hear them go from fun rapid-fire “this or that” (lifting vs conditioning, squats vs deadlifts, no music vs only country

We break down Supercell's new twin-stick “boat game” (second alpha): a PvE → PvPvE loop where we farm island quests, haul up to three chests on a fast boat, and can flip a “go bad” switch to steal other players' chests - triggering bounties and protections for non-PK players (revenge respawns).What worksFast, readable boating and clear risk/reward moments when we carry 2–3 chests.A theft moment (“go bad”) that can create highlight-reel clips for UA if tuned right.What doesn't (yet)Flat progression (gear score + light passives/chips) limits long-term goals.Ultra-light economy and shaky matchmaking make the loop feel aimless/punishing.Audience fit feels unclear (Gen-Z, Fortnite-lite vibe vs. strategy/4X loyalists).Market lensSupercell's portfolio still leans on legacy hits; competitors with genre focus + aggressive UA (e.g., strategy/4X) scale more reliably.Without deeper economies, UA-product co-design, and a clearer genre thesis, this boat may never scale past alpha.Key takeawayDepth beats novelty. We need deeper economy + UA-ready moments or this won't sail beyond alpha.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Today, Jakub Remiar breaks down the Scopely-style “sticker album” collectible mechanic—popularized at scale by Monopoly Go (global April 2023)—and why it's sweeping casual and now encroaching on mid-core. Hallmarks: time-limited albums, gacha booster packs, duplicate sinks → premium packs, and peer trading that drives massive social engagement (e.g., official trading groups). It adds perceived depth to shallow economies (soft currency + energy) without adding gameplay complexity, resets cleanly by season, and monetizes whales via “double bottom” albums (a second, higher-reward album with ~50% more rewards and exclusive cosmetics). Implementations span Royal Match (135 cards/≈60 days), Travel Town (162), Monopoly Go (~200), and mid-core experiments like Whiteout Survival and Acecraft (smaller sets, licensed collabs). The open questions: optimal card counts, season length, and how mid-core will standardize the pattern. What you'll learnHow the Scopely/Monopoly Go sticker album works: time-limited albums, gacha packs, duplicate exchanges, trading, seasonal resets, and whale “double albums.”Why this mechanic adds depth to shallow economies and boosts engagement, retention, and monetization—with examples from Royal Match, Travel Town, Monopoly Go and mid-core tests (Whiteout Survival, Acecraft).Practical knobs: card counts (≈135–200), season length (30–60 days), guaranteed-missing pack, and social/trading ops.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investorsJoin our slack channel here: https://join.slack.com/t/two-and-half-gamers/shared_invite/zt-2um8eguhf-c~H9idcxM271mnPzdWbipgChapters00:00 — Cold open & why albums exploded01:20 — The template: pages, rarities, grand prize, timebox03:45 — Rewards & pressure: limited window, page bonuses, grand prize06:10 — Gacha everywhere: pack sources & duplicate sink design08:30 — Social engine: trading loops (in-clan & community)10:20 — Seasonal resets & cosmetics: depth without UX bloat12:10 — “Double/Grand Album” for whales (~50% more rewards)14:00 — Case studies: Monopoly GO, Royal Match, Travel Town17:00 — Mid-core spillover: Whiteout Survival, Acecraft experiments19:00 — Tuning knobs: card counts (≈135–200), 30–60 day seasons, guarantees20:30 — Actionable checklist & pitfalls---------------------------------------Matej LancaricUser Acquisition & Creatives Consultant⁠https://lancaric.meFelix BrabergAd monetization consultant⁠https://www.felixbraberg.comJakub RemiarGame design consultant⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakubremiar---------------------------------------Please share the podcast with your industry friends, dogs & cats.

The red flags are flying high... and no, we're not talking about your ex. In this episode, Chris and Saied take a brutally honest look at the economic signals that everyone seems determined to ignore. (The Fighting Fijian, Rajeil was on leave for this episode.) From inflation's sneaky comeback to the quiet unraveling of corporate debt, they break down the numbers, the narratives, and the nonsense behind America's “everything is fine” façade. If you think the Fed has this under control, buckle up... because history says otherwise.➡️ But this isn't your average doomscroll session. The guys go beyond the headlines to unpack how these warning signs actually affect you: your job, your mortgage, your portfolio, and your peace of mind. Expect laughs, data, and the kind of truth bombs only The Higher Standard delivers. It's real talk about the economy without the jargon, hype, or 'hopium'... just a clear-eyed look at the meltdown we might already be living through.

Everyone loves the idea of having a team… until they actually have one. When I hired my first assistant at 23, I thought it would make my life easier… instead, it made me a better leader. It gave my body a break, but not my mind.“New level, new devil. New opportunities come with new challenges.”Fantasy vs. RealityWe all think once we hire, everything will get easier. But in reality, chaos comes first. You go from working in the business to growing people.Assistants: The Most Misunderstood RoleAssistants aren't “help.” They're our right hand, our Co-Stylists, our future leaders. When you hire out of desperation, you create misalignment not culture.“You can't lead people until you've learned how to train them.”The Hard TruthsYou'll be the bad guy sometimes. You'll lose sleep. You'll care more than they do. But every tough moment shapes you into the kind of leader your team deserves.“If you avoid confrontation to keep the peace, you'll start a war inside yourself.”Why We Do ItBecause it's worth it, the lightbulb moments, the growth, the legacy. Leadership stretches you. It's hard as hell, but it's the most meaningful work you'll ever do. Ready to start training your first assistant the right way? Grab our Ultimate Assistant Guide for $99
