Have you ever jumped on something as you're moving through the real world, and heard that Mario bouncy sound in your head? Or maybe seen someone acting like an NPC when they're a real person? Maybe you know that the first real "in-app" purchase was actually a weapons store in an arcade game version of Double Dragon 3. Wherever you go in the real world, you can find signs of the influence of videogames. But you have to know where to look. That's why Endless Thread and 99% Invisible are launching a new limited series together called Hidden Levels. Today Roman Mars and Ben Brock Johnson kick off the series with a little preview of what's coming.
What if reality isn't random—but coded? Jose Miguel Calderon Carpio, a transformational CIO, award-winning tech strategist, and author of Cosmos, explores this very idea. In his book, he argues that the universe may operate more like software than stardust and that life is intentional, designed, and deeply meaningful. On today's episode of the Marketer of the Day Podcast, Jose Miguel shares how to avoid living as an “NPC” in the world, how to tap into the universe's intentional design, and how understanding these patterns can transform your personal and professional life. Quotes: “The universe is not a mistake—it's a masterpiece of conscious design.” “Life is software, and every decision we make is code shaping our future.” “We are not just observers of the cosmos—we are active participants in its unfolding design.” Resources: Follow Jose Miguel on Facebook Connect with Jose Miguel on LinkedIn Read "Code Called Cosmos" on Amazon

Kylem O'Donnell is a lad who has truly lived the highs and lows of chasing the rugby dream. From starring at Hamilton Boys' High to winning an NPC title with Taranaki and travelling the world with the All Blacks Sevens, he looked destined for it all. But behind the speed, fitness and flair, Kylem's story is one of setbacks, mental battles, and resilience.In this episode he opens up like never before from the challenge of dealing with injuries and non-selection, to a being on the receiving end of brutal bouncer assault. He even shares some incredibly hard moments in his life including a terrifying drug-induced psychosis that had him running to on the motorway naked! However the most powerful of all are the moments where Kylem shares his raw struggles with mental health, including times he nearly didn't make it through, and the support that helped him fight back.This episode is not just about the rugby it's about honesty, vulnerability, and rediscovering who you are. An incredible chat with a man who is now using his own journey to inspire and help others. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In dit gesprek gaat het over de rol van onderwijs en maatschappij, de invloed van technologie en straling, en de mysterieuze lagen van ons bestaan. Van frequenties en aura's tot NPC's en oude beschavingen. In deze podcast:

TSP #2176 — Nathan Ciszek: The Source Field & the Simulation | Targeting / Reality Hacks, NPCs, Timeline Edits Tonight 9PM ET — TSP #2176: MILAB whistleblower Nathan Ciszek joins me for “The Source Field & the Simulation.” We'll dig into targeting, NPCs, reality edits, soul contracts, timeline manipulation, AI overlays & how to opt-out of engineered loops. Live Q&A! #milab #simulationtheory #targetedindividuals #soularc #timeline #ufo #disclosure Long Description (YouTube/Rumble) About the episode: MILAB whistleblower Nathan Ciszek returns for an advanced decode on targeting—how selected individuals are flagged, profiled, and entrained—and how this connects to a larger simulation framework (Source Field, overlays, NPC constructs, probability rails, and timeline edits). We'll map the playbook (surveillance behavioral nudges engineered synchronicities isolation spiritual fragmentation) and then pivot to exiting the maze: sovereign tech for nervous-system stabilization, energetic hygiene, and reclaiming timeline authority.

Lolth's Not Your Mom, But She's Definitely Disappointed in You Follow Ash Ely on social media for more tabletop mischief, hot takes, and behind-the-scenes RPGBOT energy. Want to do more than just listen? You can play in his games directly—Ash runs tables on StartPlaying.games where you can sign up, roll dice, and probably regret trusting that one suspicious NPC he voices just a little too well. Show Notes In this Spooktober installment, Tyler, Randall, and Ash descend into the Underdark to talk about everyone's favorite spider-themed frenemies: the drow. But don't expect a simple “they're all evil” hot take—this conversation is about how to use drow effectively and responsibly at the table. Highlights include: History lesson (with bite): From Scottish folklore to Gygax's caverns, the word “drow” has been through some things. The big problem: Why “evil by biology” is lazy design and a headache for modern tables. The fix: Treat drow as cultures, factions, and ideologies rather than one-note villains. Tactics and terror: How to make them scary with ambushes, traps, lair design, and coordinated squads instead of tired stereotypes. DM toolbox: Drow of the Underdark (3.5e) for rich lore and mechanical bits. Keith Ammann's The Monsters Know What They're Doing and MOAR for tactical framing. The RPGBOT Masterclass on How to Defend Your Lair for designing unforgettable encounters. Adventure seeds: Trade cartels, perpetual-darkness devices, and drow coup-plots that give your players moral choices beyond “roll initiative.” RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes How to Defend Your Lair with Keith Ammann – RPGBOT.Masterclass S2E95 How to Defend Your Lair with Keith Ammann – RPGBOT.Masterclass S2E95 Other Stuff Drow of the Underdark (3.5) (affiliate link) MOAR The Monsters Know What They're Doing (affiliate link) The Monsters Know What They're Doing (affiliate link) Key Takeaways Scary ≠ racist: Make drow terrifying by leaning on culture, politics, and goals—not skin color or species. Design like defenders: Build lairs that use elevation, darkness, traps, and chokepoints to punish rash adventurers. Run them as a team: Drow squads should coordinate roles like special ops, not fight as isolated stat blocks. Texture matters: Factionalize your drow societies—zealots, moderates, and opportunists—to create story oxygen. Bring the right books: Ammann's tactics, 3.5e's Drow of the Underdark, and RPGBOT's own lair-design masterclass turn “complicated” into “compelling.” If you enjoyed this dive into the Underdark, share the RPGBOT.Podcast with your gaming group. Tell your GM. Tell your rogue. Heck, tell that one friend who always wants to play a brooding elf in black leather. The more you spread the word, the more we can keep producing guides, laughs, and lair-defense strategies. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

0:30 In today's episode we dive into Pete Hegseth's bold strategy to deal with illegal immigration. The left has complained that we need more judges. Now the Trump administration has more, straight from the JAG Corps. We break down the top 3 things you need to know before tomorrow: Trump is blocked from using military force in California, Rep. Jerry Nadler retires, and Missouri's governor calls a special session to redraw congressional districts. 12:30 Ad Break 13:30 Tim Waltz seemed almost giddy amid rumors that President Trump was terminally ill. We ask the American Mamas for their opinion on the National Guard going into Washington D.C. The Mamas explore what D.C. residents are experiencing— less crime and safer communities. 23:00 NPC apologizes for misgendering the Minneapolis school shooter— but what does that say about the media's priorities? Plus, there is some infighting between Republican Senators Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy. We Dig Deep into their clash over mandatory hepatitis B vaccines, Big Pharma money, and whether the government should be making the call for children's health. 32:30 Ad Break 33:30 The mayor of Chicago blames Donald Trump for shootings in Chicago. Plus, a new study shows that the happiest women in America are married mothers, and that's a Bright Spot. 40:30 We discuss the US Navy sinking a Venezuelan drug-trafficking vessel tied to Tren Aragua. And we finish off with a West Point cadet who will make you say, "Whoa!" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with our summer intern, Nathan Oyer, who's about to head back to Binghamton University. In this episode, you'll hear a candid introduction with Nathan about his experiences as a TAP intern, then we'll dive right into the training session Nathan led for our team. He shares his insights and research on what makes Gen Z tick, from their love of authentic marketing to the language and wellness trends driving their travel decisions. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why understanding the differences between generations is key when crafting messages and campaigns aimed at Gen Z versus Millennials, Gen X, or Boomers What makes Gen Z unique as consumers, including their desire for relatable, authentic, wellness-oriented experiences How language and slang can both help and hinder brands when communicating with Gen Z Why relatability, authenticity, and micro-influencers now matter more than celebrity endorsements when engaging with Gen Z audiences What role wellness plays in Gen Z's travel and purchasing decisions, and how destinations and brands can tap into this trend How Gen Z views and responds to cancel culture and why transparency and a willingness to learn from mistakes are so critical Bridging Generational Gaps in Tourism Marketing To market effectively, it's essential to understand the context and experiences that have shaped each generation. Nathan outlined a generational roadmap, from Baby Boomers who value face-to-face connections, paper mail, and research-driven marketing—all the way to Gen Z, born between 1995 and 2009. Unlike previous generations, Gen Z grew up with technology at their fingertips. They're digital natives, expect user-friendly web interactions, and are famous for their short attention spans. Where Millennials (born 1980–1994) might be drawn to nostalgia and Instagram, Gen Z's heart belongs to TikTok, Snapchat, and real-time, less-curated microcontent. Slang to Improve Storytelling One playful, but important, aspect discussed was slang. Gen Z's ever-evolving language isn't just about new words; it's a reflection of community, humor, and relatability. Nathan led the TAP team through some current favorites (like “NPC,” and “no cap”), but did share a word of caution that slang is tricky territory for brands. Using slang can humanize a brand and make content pop, but if brands try too hard or use trends after their expiration date, they risk coming across as “cringe” (Gen Z's word, not ours). Wellness, Sustainability, and Social Responsibility Wellness isn't just a trend for Gen Z, it's a lifestyle. They're proactive about their mental and physical health, seeking out travel experiences that contribute to self-care and well-being. When looking for ways to engage Gen Z travelers there are lots of opportunities around trips like spa retreats, vegan experiences and sustainable stays. To connect with Gen Z, brands have to blend strategy with sincerity: adopt the right language, stay up to date with trends, and continuously center authenticity and purpose.

Lara and Carey return to recap the maddening final installment of The Valley's Season 2 reunion. But first, they discuss the harrowing new Tesla Diner, the NPC-ification of downtown LA, hetero hell foodie scenes, how lighting up the Hollywood sign at night could save Los Angeles, Alien: Earth, Lindsay Lohan and Shailene Woodley's new venture and the complicated nature of the Hulu-sphere.Back at Radford Studios, Danny's creepy behavior with Brittany at a party for this year's Super Bowl is brought before the tribunal. Janet, Jason and Jasmine attempt to squash their beef, as Doute tries (unsuccessfully) to pull one over her rindom nemesis from Ohio. Jax laments the pro-Brittany party at his namesake watering hole as he faces off with Zack one final time. Nia and Danny commit to a throw-everything-at-the-ceiling-defense blitz to deflect from Danny's drunken sex pestery. And they convince nearly everyone except Janet, who somehow, despite everything and her own incredibly rindom tendencies, comes out victorious against the Old Guard. Jax then leaves the soundstage and disappears into the hazy dusk of the “Other side of the hill,” becoming merely a myth in the San Fernando Valley.Listen to this episode ad-free AND get access to weekly bonus episodes + video bonus episodes by joining the SUP Patreon.

Rizwan Virk (The Simulation Hypothesis) is an entrepreneur, computer scientist, and bestselling author. Rizwan joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the VR ping pong game that tipped him off we might be in a simulation, his ten stages of singularity that the physical world isn't exactly what we think it is, and comparing the NPC versus RPG versions of the simulation. Rizwan and Dax talk about whether The Matrix was prophetic, if such AI advancement is inevitable how we would know if we're in a simulation, and the observer effect in quantum physics as illustrated by Schrödinger's Cat. Rizwan explains ancient Eastern religious and philosophical origins of the sim, the bizarre notion of consciousness that the past isn't fixed, and the Mandela Effect as evidence of the existence of alternate timelines.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
