If you're stressed about money, fighting with your spouse about finances, or feeling overwhelmed and behind—this episode is your emergency action procedure. Topics Covered Three Immediate Actions: Delete Social Media Apps - Remove the influence of billions of advertising dollars designed to manipulate your spending decisions Create Intentional Inconvenience - Delete delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats), switch to debit cards or cash, freeze credit cards, eliminate "buy now, pay later" options Cancel All Subscriptions - Cut Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Spotify, and every other recurring charge until you're financially stable Key Financial Concepts: Emergency action procedures for financial crises The power of adding friction to spending habits - will power vs. won't power Why making life temporarily uncomfortable leads to long-term wealth Technology spending (why kids don't need $1,600 iPhones) The importance of game selection in personal finance Emergency funds turning emergencies into inconveniences Net worth tracking as a behavioral tool The Wealth Ladder Framework (Nick Maggiulli): Level 1: Less than $10,000 net worth - Focus on avoiding financial traps Level 2: $10,000-$100,000 - Avoid buying houses you can't afford, keep working hard, invest in TSP and Roth IRA Level 3: $100,000-$1 million - Where compound growth accelerates Level 4: $1 million-$10 million - Achievable for military families over a career Levels 5-6: $10 million+ - Beyond most military aspirations Common Military Family Mistakes: Spending more on housing than BAH covers Buying houses with 0% down and getting stuck Purchasing vehicles beyond their means Lifestyle inflation and comparison spending Technology overspending on devices and subscriptions Long-term vs Short-term Strategy: Short-term (Emergency Mode): Cut expenses, save the difference, get out of debt Long-term (Wealth Building): Increase income, spend on what matters, maintain healthy savings rate Books & Resources Mentioned Books: The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter - On the benefits of doing hard things The Opt-Out Family - On intentional family living Taking Your Family Back - Family relationship guidance The Anxious Generation - On technology's impact on children Dave Ramsey's principles (referenced) Tools & Resources: Libby app - Free audiobooks and ebooks MWR library system - Free military library access Net worth tracking tools Cash envelope system for budgeting Military OneSource - Free financial counseling Base financial counseling services Concepts Referenced: Nick Maggiulli Wealth Ladder framework Dave Ramsey's "pay yourself first" principle Emergency fund philosophy The 12-step program approach to financial recovery Key Quotes "Life begins just outside your comfort zone."

"Your overspending isn't hurting me. It's not hurting Jamie. It's only hurting you and your loved ones." "You don't need to wait for financial independence to start living like you're financially independent." Practical Examples Shared Spencer's story: Freezing credit card in ice as a young lieutenant Jamie's debit card sleeve with debt payoff reminders The $1,000 emergency oil pan repair that didn't derail finances Military families spending $3,000 on housing with $2,000 BAH Hawaii homeowner unable to sell due to rising HOA fees 2022 home purchase with 0% down, now unable to sell Peloton subscription cancellation saving $132 over 3 months First graders with iPhones creating peer pressure Target Audience This episode is specifically for: Military families living paycheck to paycheck Service members stressed about money Couples fighting about finances Anyone in credit card debt or feeling financially overwhelmed Military spouses managing finances during deployments Young service members (E1-E5, O1-O3) establishing financial foundations Anyone ready to make radical changes to their financial situation Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.

With over 16 million brand hashtag views on TikTok, Panic Panties has won the Women Business Enterprise National Council's (WBENC) national pitch competition for innovation and has been named Hot Undergarments by Star magazine.

Whether after a workout, during travel, or in unexpected situations, traditional retail options fall short, offering unappealing, bulk-packaged choices.

Dissatisfied by the lack of on-the-go underwear options on the market, Maria Marino, Alex Bernstein, and Katherine Anne Koury teamed up to create a premium, ready-to-wear underwear line designed for convenience and style.

The trio promotes their products by producing viral social media content, facilitating community events, and hosting a life-sized panty costume that appeared in high-traffic areas like Times Square and the Vegas Strip. Through social media engagement and a commitment to sustainability, Maria, Alex, and Katherine Anne have penetrated a niche market with an innovative solution.  Tune in to the latest episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show as Andrea Heuston chats with Maria Marino, Alex Bernstein, and Katherine Anne Koury, Co-founders of Panic Panties, about how they scaled their brand.

What Does Record Gold Mean?

On today's show we are looking at what is happening in precious metals and the narrative attached to these recent record setting prices.This past week gold has hit new all time record highs of just above $3800. Price peaked at $3820 an ounce, surging nearly $40 an ounce in the opening moments of trading on Monday morning. So far gold is up 10% in the last 30 days and up 41% in the past year. Of course the purists out there will probably argue that gold has not risen. It's the dollar that has fallen in reference to gold and that gold is the only true historic store of value.We are seeing similar moves in the other benchmark metals. Silver also hit 14 year highs this week above $47 per ounce as of the time of this recording. That is an increase of 20% for the month and 45% in the past year. It's a similar story for platinum and palladium. Platinum is up 18% for the past month and 58% for the past year. Palladium is up 17% in the past month and 27% in the past 12 months.We know that several things happen in an inflationary environment. Purchasing power for those on fixed income gets wiped out. Savings get wiped out and debt gets wiped out. We can also see asset prices rise unless we are talking about a Venezuelan style inflation where asset prices collapse due to a complete breakdown of the economy.So in an inflationary environment you don't want to be the one holding the debt. In fact the people at Morgan Stanley just updated their recommendation for a balanced portfolio. The traditional Wall Street version of the balanced portfolio has been 60% stocks and 40% bonds. They never mention real estate of course because they can't sell real estate and they don't make any money if you buy real estate.-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Note: Nick Estes and I have launched a new project called Pod Kapital in which we will be reading canonical Marxist texts for weekly episodes on his Substack. I will be posting the audio editions for all my patrons but if you want to watch the video edition, you will have to sign up behind his paywall! I encourage you to do so anyway for the great content he is posting ! The Red-Brown alliance is finally happening! The American Indian-Iranian alliance, that is. Host of the East Is a Podcast, Sina Rahmani, joins the Red Scare Podcast for the “Pod Kapital” series, where we dissect and discuss classic Marxist texts. We're aiming for the fences for the first reading, starting with Karl Marx's magnum opus: Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, Vol. 1 (1867).  We're offering this introduction for free, hoping that you will subscribe to the Substack to join our semi-weekly classes. This eight-week course will meet via livestream on Substack every Tuesday at 1 pm CT. Recordings will be reposted for those who cannot attend the livestreams but still want to follow along. Here's the reading and podcast schedule:  September 9: Introduction: Seeing the Monster September 16: Part 1: The Commodity and Money September 23: Part 2: Money and Capital September 30: No Class October 7: No Class October 14: Part 3: Absolute Surplus Value October 21: Part 4: Relative Surplus Value October 28: Parts 5 & 6: Surplus Value and Wages November 4: Part 7: Process of Accumulation November 11: Part 8: Original Accumulation November 18: Conclusion: The Secrets of Political Economy There are several English translations of Capital. For this series, we'll be using the recent Princeton version, translated and edited by Paul Reitter. We also recommend, and will be referencing, the Ben Fowkes translation and the English version available for free at Marxists.org. Purchasing a copy of the book isn't a prerequisite for participating in this study group. (If you're interested in a critical conversation about the Princeton translation, check out the episode of Guerrilla History with Paul North and Paul Reitter.) Sina will also be referring directly to the original German texts found at the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA) archives. Jonathan Sperber's Karl Marx: A Nineteenth Century Life (2013) is an excellent intellectual biography of Karl Marx. We will be referring to it throughout the series. We hope that you read along. But we also want to provide you with enough context and analysis that may inspire you to read or give a foundational overview of Capital.  Each episode will be structured with an introduction, a summary, and a critical reflection on the reading, concluding with answering subscriber questions about the text. We hope you tune in to the livestream or post your questions in the comments section or chat function.  Pilamayaye ota! Many thanks for your continued support.

The Modern Minuteman concept is still being fleshed out and developed with lots of considerations when it comes to modern warfare. Among the many details to establish has been the apparent need for weapon platforms that can increase engagement tempo and firepower offering tactical options for small units and teams. This need has led to many different ideas and perspectives on how the modern minuteman should approach specialized platforms and some look to the military for answers. Although the military can offer many valuable insights into fighting methods, the military doctrine and approach to the use of machine guns is very specific. In this episode Stephen and Jacob sit down with Ben Price (a fomer USMC 0331 Machine Gunner) to explain the ways military machine gun tactics differ from small unit auto rifle tactics. These differences are important to highlight because we believe it better informs the overall concept of what platforms best serve the mission of the modern minuteman.   CONTACT US The best way to get a hold of us is to email us.

It's where we live, raise our children, entertain friends, and feel the most secure and at peace. It's easy to understand why people would want to protect their homes at all costs. "Home Title Theft" or "Deed Fraud" has received a lot of attention lately and sounds as scary as it is. Let's take a look at what defines Home Title Theft and the prevalence of this crime. We will also present the difference between Home Title Theft and Loan Fraud, and how Triangle Credit Union can help protect you against the effects of both, no matter where the fraud occurs.   Home Title Theft is a Real Thing  Home Title Theft occurs when a fraudster, armed with your personal information, uses forged documents to apply to the registrar of deeds of the county to have ownership of your property transferred to the fraudster's name. The fraudster then borrows money using the property as collateral and never makes the payments. You may not know that this transaction has occurred until the lender tries to foreclose on the property and finds that you, the "previous owner," is still living there. This situation leads to many questions about what comes next. Do you have to make payments on the loan to keep your home? Will you be able to sell your home? How can you undo the damage that has been done and get the title back in your name? What if the fraudster has sold the home to another person? How do you defend your rights to the ownership of your home? Before we go any further, let us put your mind at ease.   Professional Identity Theft Recovery Advocates Are Standing By  If you're a Triangle Better Checking account holder, your benefits include Fully Managed Identity Theft Recovery. If you find that you've become a victim of Home Title Theft a professional Identity Theft Recovery Advocate will personally assist you, including working on your behalf to reverse the damage, no matter how long it takes. It is also important to note that in addition to addressing the Home Title Theft, your Identity Theft Recovery Advocate will research and address ALL identity fraud that has occurred in your name. Having professional help to resolve your entire identity theft situation, especially in the protection of your home, is critically important.  How Often Does Home Title Theft Occur?  The short answer is that no one knows for sure. The FBI doesn't break out Home Title Theft in their annual crime statistics. Neither does the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"). In the FTC's annual consumer fraud and identity theft report, the much broader category encompassing Real Estate Loans shows that this category represents less than 1% of the total of all identity theft incidents reported to the FTC in 2024. On the other hand, it appears that cases of Home Title Theft are on the rise in some regions of the United States.  Home Title Theft vs Loan Fraud  A much more prevalent crime is "Loan Fraud", where the fraudster impersonates you using your personal information. They approach a financial institution and borrow money using your property as collateral. This fraudulent loan will satisfy the criminal's goal of fast cash without going through the process of changing the title.   Who are Typical Victims of Home Title Theft and Loan Fraud?  Criminals will target people who have no mortgage loan on their home; therefore, there is not a second party to prevent the title transfer. The same is true for criminals who commit loan fraud. They want to find victims who have a large amount of equity in their home or victims who own their home free and clear of debt. Unfortunately, the largest segment of these consumers are the elderly.  What Can I Do to Help Protect Myself Against Home Title Theft and Loan Fraud?  Many counties offer a free service on their property assessor's search page to alert you by email of any changes of title for the properties you own. If there is not an automated function for your county, there is usually a way to search for the registered owner of a property to confirm no changes. Simply type the words "property assessor search" along with the name of your county and your state into your browser's search bar, or go to your county's website.  In addition, the Better Checking account has several features that could alert you to suspicious activity, including credit monitoring and high-risk transaction monitoring. Watch for these alerts and take action or call an Identity Theft Recovery Advocate.  If you're a Triangle member but you don't yet have a Better Checking account? Visit your local branch or open a new one online. You'll get access to identity theft protection and will receive an activation code to access the additional identity protection benefits like access to your credit report and score, credit card registration and more.   If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

Think Like A Game Designer
Justin Gary — 5 Lessons From 15 Years (#90)

Think Like A Game Designer

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 21, 2025 21:36


At Gen Con this year, we kicked off Ascension's 15-year anniversary celebration. I had the chance to meet so many fans who have been part of this community for over a decade; the experience was both humbling and rewarding.We just launched the Gamefound Campaign for the Ascension 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition and I've been reflecting on the incredible journey that brought us here. What began as a casual prototype I created to play with friends between rounds of Magic tournaments has grown into a game that connects millions of players around the world.Here are the five most important lessons I've learned, each has transformed Ascension from a prototype to a global phenomenon.Lesson 1: Prototype and Iterate FastWhen I first started working on Ascension, I never expected it to become the success it is today. It was 2009, and I had just quit my job to start my own game company. The funny thing about starting a company is that until you're making money and collaborating with others, the difference between “CEO/Game Designer” and “guy sitting on his couch” is mostly a matter of attitude.At the time, I had spent over a hundred hours playing the deckbuilding game Dominion. This game pioneered the genre, offering the fun of deckbuilding without the hassle of collecting cards. As a Magic: The Gathering Pro, I loved that it delivered the joy of constructing a deck without buying packs or managing a collection. Eventually, however, the game became predictable. Because each setup of available cards was fixed from the start, I rarely needed to change my strategy. I also found that the game took too long to set up, impacting the ratio of fun to busy work in a way I thought could be improved.The secret to creating Ascension was simple: remove the things from Dominion that get in the way of fun.My first prototype was literally just a shuffled pile of Dominion cards, which instantly cut 20 minutes off setup time. Mind you, this prototype wasn't good, but it gave me a quick sense of how the gameplay might feel, and I could see a spark of something great there. My next prototype was nothing more than sharpie scribbles on blank cards. Since my prototypes were quick and ugly, I had no problem throwing them out and making rapid changes. That freedom allowed Ascension to go from idea to store shelves in under 18 months.The lesson: Your first prototype should be so ugly you're embarrassed to show it to anyone. That embarrassment is freedom—freedom to fail fast, change everything, and find the fun without falling in love with your first ideas.Lesson 2: When in Doubt, Cut it outMost new designers try to solve problems by adding things to their games. The correct answer is almost always to cut instead.Ascension started by cutting Dominion's purchase and play restrictions. This streamlined the game and gave players more choices each turn, but also required me to add a second resource [power] to keep tension high. This change was just the start, the biggest cut came much later in development.Ascension's signature innovation was the ever changing center row, which dramatically increased the variety in each game. At the same time, this mechanic also created the risk of a stalled board state, meaning that if players weren't able to buy anything from the center, nothing would change and the game would drag on. My original solution was a “conveyor belt” mechanic, where, at the end of each turn, the rightmost card was banished and everything slid down. This guaranteed movement and created tension as cards neared the edge.The problem was that players kept forgetting to slide the cards down. Every. Single. Game.I tried everything: special cards that interacted with the conveyor belt, giant reminder text on the board, entire mechanics to make sliding feel essential. Nothing worked. Then one playtester asked the question that should have been obvious but I was blind to: "What if we just cut that rule?"We shuffled up, played without it, and never looked back. The game was cleaner, faster, and more fun. Did the board stall occasionally? Yes, but we could mitigate that by subtly adjusting card costs and adding banish effects players could buy when needed. In this case, the conveyor belt cure was far worse than the occasional stalled board disease.The lesson: Every mechanic costs mental energy. When facing a design challenge, always ask first: "What can I eliminate to solve this problem?" Remember, "dead now" doesn't mean "dead forever." Cut mechanics make great expansion content later.Lesson 3: Perfect Your Pitch Through RepetitionEvery game needs a killer hook, and the only way to find it is through repetition. Brutal, exhausting repetition.I learned this the hard way at my first Gen Con booth, where we sold the first copies of Ascension 15 years ago. Over the course of the show, you pitch the game a hundred times. You refine, adjust, and figure out what works. By the end, I could pitch and demo Ascension in my sleep. I knew exactly how to get someone hooked, and the moment I no longer needed to be there (for Ascension, it's usually turn three, when players start seeing the new cards they purchased and get excited about improving their decks).Whenever possible, use things your audience already knows as a reference, combine two familiar concepts, or give a twist to something they've seen before. You need to get information about your target audience and customize the pitch to them. Once they're hooked, you can guide them into a demo and, hopefully, into buying the game and sharing it with friends.In 2010, if I knew my audience played Magic, my go-to pitch was:“Imagine all the fun of drafting card packs in Magic, all with just one lifetime purchase.”If they were familiar with Dominion, an effective pitch was:“Ascension is like Dominion, but with a fun fantasy theme and you can play an entire game in the time it takes to set up a game of Dominion.”If they weren't familiar with either game category, I would usually start with a more theme forward pitch:“Ascension is a 30 minute card game where you recruit mighty heroes and weapons to defeat monsters and earn honor.”At first, pitching this way feels awkward. You have to train yourself to read the audience, adapt, and take feedback from their reactions. The best games also make it easy for players to teach friends, and those people become your best marketers. The more you practice pitching and running live demos, the more it will shape your design choices, helping you create games that are not only fun to play, but also fun to learn and teach.The lesson: Practice pitching your game early and often. Alex Yeager's 2-2-2 demo framework is a fantastic tool for game designers (you can hear more about it on my podcast with Alex here). Whether you need a two-sentence pitch, a two-minute overview, or a two-player demo, tailoring the level of detail to your audience is key. This approach prevents overwhelming your audience with too much information at once while still providing a clear and concise introduction to your game.Lesson 4: Know Your Core Tension and Protect ItEvery great game revolves around one central tension that hooks players.* In Uno, you're trying to empty your hand without unlocking your opponents' cards.* In chess, you protect your king while threatening your opponent's king.* In poker, you want to win the pot but must risk chips without knowing what others hold.* In Magic: The Gathering, the one-land-per-turn restriction forces agonizing tradeoffs about which spells to cast.For Ascension, the core tension is this: adapting to an ever-changing market while your opponents threaten to snatch the exact cards you need.The game sings when there are multiple exciting cards supporting your strategy, but your opponent might grab them first. Every choice matters because the board state is temporary. Purchasing a Mechana construct early makes each successive mechana construct better, but if your opponent cuts you off from the cards you need then your strategy could fall apart.Understanding this core tension has guided 15 years of expansions. Every new mechanic is built to enhance this central dynamic, but never replace it. Our newest expansion, Ascension Legends, turns faction choice into a higher-stakes decision than ever with the Legendary Track system. As you climb each faction's track, you unlock powerful bonuses. Suddenly, that “meh” Lifebound hero becomes essential because it pushes you toward a game-breaking legendary power. Multi-faction cards become contested treasures. The tension ratchets up, but the heart of Ascension remains intact.In the 15th anniversary campaign, I've designed an entirely new card type that impacts every game called Chronicles. Chronicle cards were an interesting challenge to design, because I wanted to make something that honored Ascension's history, impacts every game, and could work with whatever expansion(s) you chose to play it with. But I've always believed constraints breed creativity and these constraints were no exception. There are 17 Chronicle cards available in this campaign. At the start of the game, you can select any two of them and set them beside the center row. Each one adds a new game rule or unique cards to the game. Each of these 17 cards was designed to highlight one of our previous expansions and compress its impact on the core tension into a single effect. Because they are promos and players can opt in to which ones they want to play with, I also felt more free to make more powerful abilities that I would never put into a normal set. For example, one card representing Darkness Unleashed, where we first introduced transforming cards, adds the rule: “At the start of the game, each player removes one Apprentice and one Militia from their Starting Deck and Transforms them into one Mystic and one Heavy Infantry.” These cards are a great way to radically shake up the game and have some fun reevaluating old cards and strategies in the light of new mechanics. You can learn more about the new card type in our update here.The lesson: Identify your game's core tension in one or two sentences. Write it down. Frame it. Before adding any new mechanic, ask: "Does this enhance or dilute our core?" As your game inevitably grows more complex, staying true to its core ensures it evolves in the right direction.Think Like A Game Designer is a reader-supported publication.

"Ascension has become our special thing. We play together almost every night, and it's given us this amazing way to connect."His daughter beamed and jumped into the conversation, eager to tell me about her favorite faction (lifebound) and the strategies she'd discovered.What struck me wasn't just their enthusiasm—it was the math. She wasn't even born when Ascension first released in 2010. Yet here she was, fifteen years later, experiencing the same joy of discovery that's captivated players from day one. That's when I realized we hadn't just created a game—we'd built something that bridges generations.From the beginning, Ascension was deliberately designed to feel less confrontational than other strategy games. You're not attacking other players—you're all racing toward your own goals while your opponent does the same. Only the shared center row and occasional monster effect encourage direct competition.This makes Ascension approachable to partners, friends, and family members who might be intimidated by more aggressive games. I've heard from hundreds of players who say Ascension was their entry point into tabletop gaming. Even the partner of a hardcore gamer can enjoy Ascension because even when you lose, you still get to build something cool and feel progression throughout the game.This design philosophy has created a community where parents can genuinely enjoy playing with their children, where couples can bond over evening games, and where someone whose only card game experience is Uno can sit down and have fun within minutes. The rules are simple enough to teach quickly, but the strategy is deep enough to reward returning players.The secret to lasting community is making everyone feel welcome at the table. Even competitive card games like Magic have benefited enormously from more social formats like Commander which allow new players to enjoy the experience without as much direct conflict. Even for SolForge Fusion, the game I co-created with Richard Garfield as a very competitive game, we created a campaign mode and storyline tournaments that make players allies against a common cause, helping them root for each other and take on challenges that are less directly antagonistic with other players.The lesson: Your game's community will outlive any individual player if you design it to include rather than exclude, to welcome rather than intimidate, and to create shared positive experiences rather than zero-sum conflicts. Think about how your design allows players of different skill levels to enjoy the journey together. The best victories are the ones you can celebrate with the person across the table, not at their expense.Fifteen years ago, I was just a guy on a couch with a dream and a Sharpie. Today, Ascension connects hundreds of thousands of players across the world—parents and children, partners and friends, veterans and newcomers. As we launch our 15th anniversary campaign on Gamefound, featuring exclusive anniversary editions and the brand-new designs, I'm not just grateful for the game we've built. I'm grateful for the community you've helped us create.I am beyond grateful for the community that has supported the last 15 years, and I can't wait to continue to grow together over the next 15!Join our 15th anniversary celebration at Gamefound and get exclusive anniversary rewards available nowhere else.— Justin Gary This is a public episode.
