This episode covers one of the least sexy but most dangerous blind spots in mobile ad monetization:If you don't actively control what ads appear in your game,your retention is being taxed without you noticing.Felix breaks down how creative & category blocking really works across networks and why most publishers misunderstand it.Key truths from the episode:Blocking is mostly reactive, not proactiveMediation is not a global kill switch — you must block ads on every networkCategory blocking alone is never enoughSome networks give full control, others give almost noneAggressive end cards silently kill retentionRevenue loss from cleaner ads is much smaller than people fear (~12%)Having a centralized block list is a massive operational advantage“Parity” is the only language networks respect when negotiating ad formatsGet our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

OPEN HEAVENSMATALA LE LAGI MO LE ASO SA 21 TESEMA 2025(tusia e Pastor EA Adeboye) Manatu Autu: Faatonutonu o le faauuga 1 (Conductors of the annointing 1)Tauloto Tusi Paia: Salamo 23:5 “E te laulau mai mea i le la‘o‘ai ma a‘u, i luma o ē ita mai ‘iā te a‘u; ‘ua e fa‘au‘uina lo‘u ulu i le suāu‘u; ‘ua taumasuasua la‘u ipu.”‭‭Faitauga - Tusi Paia: Ioane 4:34-38E pei ona tatou iloa i le tauloto mai le Tusi Paia o le asō, e na te faauuina le ulu o le tagata i le suauu. Peitai, o lima o le tagata e faatonutonuina le faauuga. I le 1 Samuelu 17:34-37, na fasi e Tavita le leona ma le urosa i ona lima. O ona lima foi na uuina ai le ma'atā na faatoilaloina ai Koliata (1 Samuelu 17:49). I le Faamasino 14:5-6, sa agai atu Samasoni i Timenata ae osofaia e se leona. Na oo mai le fauuga i ona luga ona ia saeluaina lea o le leona i ona lima. I le Faamasino 15:14-15, o lima foi o Samasoni na tago i le auvae o le asini ma avea ai o se auupega matautia na faaumatia ai le toatele. O le ulu o le tagata faauuina e pei o le malosiaga e faia le eletise ma o lima o le tagata e mafai ona faatusa i ni uaea e auala ma faatonutonu atu ai le eletise i vaega e manaomia ai. O le faauuga i luga o le ulu o le tagata e fua iai le malosiaga e tauave e lea tagata i ona lima. E iai se aso sa ou faatau ai i se faletusi i se atunuu i fafo, ae pei lava o lau masani, sa ou pesepese ao ilo au tusi mai fata e fia faatau. Ua maea sina taimi, ae savali mai se tamaloa ia te a'u o loo ataata ma faapea mai,  ‘e foliga mai o se aso matagofie lenei e tusa ma lou fiafia i lau pese'. Na ou ata ma lulu lona lima o loo tuu ma faatalofa mai. Ao savali ese, na ia faapea mai, ‘o le a le mea tupu? Ua alu ese'. Fai mai, sa puapuaga i le tua tigā mo le tele o tausaga, ao le taimi na ma lulu lima ai, na tea ese ai le tigā. O se lulu lima na oo atu ai se vavega ia te ia aua o o'u lima na faatonutonuina le faauuga mai lo'u ulu e oo atu ai i le tagata o loo ia manaomia. Le au pele e, e te manaomia le fauuga a le Atua i lou ulu pe afai e te manaomia le mana poo le malosiaga e tauala i ou lima. E tatau ona faaalu lou taimi e mafuta ai ma le Atua ina ia faauu oe e le Atua. A faauu oe e le Atua, e te faaee ou lima i luga o ē mamai ona malolo lea. Afai o oe o se tagata faatuatua, e tatau ona e galue malosi e faia le galuega a le Atua. A e vaai i tagata mamai, faaee ai ou lima. Aua le tuua ou lima mai le faia o le galuega a le Atua aua o le faauuga o loo e tauaveina e ono le aogā pe afai e lē o faaaogaina i vaega o loo manaomia. O le tele ona faaaogaina o ou lima e faamalolo ai ē mamai, o le tele foi lena o le manaomia o le faauuga i lou olaga, o le tele foi lena o lou tuputupu ae. A tuputupu ae le faauuga i lou olaga, e faatuatuaina oe e le Atua e faia mea tetele e sili atu aua ua ia silafia e faataunuuina e ou lima mea o loo finagalo ai. O galue pea ou lima e faia le galuega a le Atua? I le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

There's a mystical moment in every adventurer's life when you stare deeply into your character sheet, question every subclass you've ever loved, and think: "Is this really better… or did they just rename it again?" Welcome to the UA 2025 Subclass Update—where barbarians downgrade, fighters glow-up, monks chug things, and paladins summon skeletons with the enthusiasm of a dad discovering Bluetooth for the first time. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the team dives into the Unearthed Arcana 2025 Subclasses Update, a grab bag of returning classics and rebalanced favorites from the 2014 rules. Some subclasses got fresh polish; others… got "updates." Randall, Ash, and Tyler walk through each major subclass, offering analysis, jokes, and a metric ton of sandwich discourse. Covered Subclasses: Path of the Spiritual Guardian Barbarian – Once the iconic barb tank, now notably nerfed. The new "choose-your-effect" system softens its once-reliable battlefield control. Result: "Meh, but fixable." Path of the Storm Herald Barbarian – A clear upgrade with better scaling, damage options, and flexible aura selection. A quiet winner in this UA. Cavalier Fighter – Surprisingly buffed. Constant marking, battlefield lockdown, and double reactions at high level. The table unanimously loves the glow-up. Warrior of Intoxication Monk – Formerly Drunken Master. New Mystic Brews add fun, flavor, and chaos—but the name flops harder than spilled ale. The team unanimously prefers "Warrior of Libations." Oathbreaker Paladin – Now with better necromancy tools and improvements to Aura of Hate. Gains Conjure Undead to avoid relying on friendly necromancers. Not perfect, but more self-sufficient. Key Takeaways Spiritual Guardian took a noticeable hit, losing its fully reliable taunt-and-protect combo in favor of weaker pick-one options. Storm Herald received meaningful boosts, including scalable aura damage and flexible environment selection. Cavalier emerges as one of the strongest defenders in the UA thanks to unlimited marking and battlefield control. Warrior of Intoxication has fun ideas but clunky execution, suffering from naming issues and overly slow brew mechanics. Oathbreaker finally feels like a playable subclass on its own, thanks to Conjure Undead and improved aura integration. Overall: a mixed bag, but with more wins than losses—and lots of potential polish before the final books. Join the RPGBOT Patreon Love episodes like this? Want to shape them as they happen?

If you're spending money on paid app marketing, Meta Ads, ASA, CTV, or influencer campaigns, you need to understand what's really working behind the scenes.AppsFlyer just rolled out its biggest product release yet, launching 8 new tools for app marketers. In this video, Steve P. Young breaks down the 2 most game-changing tools for UA managers and how they're transforming the way we measure performance:

In today's episode, we're digging into one of the most overlooked levers in mobile growth: the App Store page itself. Developers obsess over UA budgets, creative variations, and dashboards — yet leave untapped conversion sitting on the table simply because the storefront experience isn't aligned with how users actually arrive. To get clarity on what really moves the needle, we're sharing with you our App Talks interview with Vivian Dang, Senior Director of Accounts & Client Services at Gummicube. Vivian breaks down why most teams still treat their App Store presence as static, why aggregate conversion numbers hide more than they reveal, and how to rebuild your storefront around traffic sources, intent, and user expectations. Across this conversation, Vivian shares practical strategies you can apply immediately — from structuring A/B tests that produce meaningful learnings, to building custom product pages that match funnel entry points, to using in-app events and promotional content to re-engage segments. If you want a clearer playbook for improving conversion and getting more value from every campaign, this episode is a must-listen. Let's dive in: here's Vivian Dang, Senior Director of Accounts & Client Services at Gummicube. Today's topics include: Why aggregate conversion rates hide the real performance issues inside your App Store funnel How to use custom product pages and custom store listings to tailor the storefront to each traffic source Leveraging in-app events and promotional content to surface new features and re-engage lapsed users Building disciplined, hypothesis-driven A/B testing frameworks that deliver continuous learnings The key metrics that actually matter on iOS and Google Play — and how to measure impact channel by channel Links and Resources: Vivian Dang on LinkedIn Gummicube website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Vivian Dang “If you're not tailoring your App Store experience to each of the different traffic funnels that exist, then you're literally just spending money to drive users to the page and then lose them.” “A/B testing needs to be something where it's extremely structured, where you have hypotheses going in so that you can get clearer answers at the very end of it.” “You should be taking stock of every single individual channel and source you have so you can best prepare yourself for launch and ultimately for your long-term success.” Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

O loo manatu na malolo le Atua mai le galue, na amata mai le aso fitu ina ua maea ona ia faia le foafoaga.

FNaF 2 crushes box office expectations, proving (again) that game IP owns Hollywood. We break down Matthew Ball's take on the EA/PIF deal, why 93% ownership signals a sports-media empire play, not an LBO, and why the press got the story wrong.Then: the Nex Playground, a $200 kids' console that quietly outsold PS5 in November. Is this the next underserved frontier in family gaming?We also tear into UA financing schemes masquerading as “cohort funding.” Spoiler: the effective interest rates rhyme with credit-card debt, and studios have died using them.Call of Duty launches an apology tour for Black Ops 7 and vows to stop annualized crunch. We assess the odds.And we close with AppLovin beating Google on Android e-commerce ads, inside Google's own OS. A massive signal for the future of UA as e-comm competition starts eating the gaming pie.

If you've ever wondered what happens when three grown adults argue passionately about grammar, moonbeams, seagulls, and the metaphysics of Strahd's horse, all before actually starting the podcast, this episode is for you. Join us as we journey into Heroes of Faerûn, where the subclasses are shiny, the Rangers are frosty, and the Fighters are apparently running a full unionized workplace. Grab your bag of rats (don't ask), center your Moonbeam, and enjoy the chaos. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew continues their deep-dive review of Dungeons & Dragons Heroes of Faerûn, the first major D&D 2024 splatbook offering new character options, subclasses, spells, epic boons, and setting lore. Building off Part 1's work, the hosts, Randall James, Tyler Kamstra, and Ash Ely, dig into the subclass content of the book with their usual combination of mechanical rigor, Shakespearean comedy, and at least one argument about whether it's a hero or an hero. The team analyzes each of the eight new Heroes of Faerûn subclasses, comparing their final published versions to the Unearthed Arcana playtests and to classic 2014 analogues: College of the Moon Bard blends druidic flavor with support-focused magic, teleportation, and weirdly effective Moonbeam healing loops involving birds and french fries. Knowledge Domain Cleric, updated from 2014, remains a powerhouse of divination, foresight, and skill mastery—Tyler's official religion. Banneret Fighter, once the Purple Dragon Knight, is reborn as a charismatic battlefield commander who turns every Second Wind and Action Surge into a team-wide buff. "This is our subclass, comrade." Oath of Noble Genies Paladin channels elemental smites, shifting resistances, and the magic of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water into a versatile new oath. Winterwalker Ranger arrives as a chilly striker specializing in cold damage, Hunter's Mark synergies, and making Frostraven Conservationists everywhere cry. Additional discussion previews the Sign of the Three Rogue, Spellfire Sorcery Sorcerer, and Bladesinger Wizard, with the team offering insights into where each subclass sits within the new 2024 design philosophy. Along the way, the hosts recount a dramatic Curse of Strahd in-game betrayal, debate 1990s kids' TV fever dreams, and reveal how a basket of fries can become an infinite healing engine. It's a glorious mess. It's D&D. It's RPGBOT. Materials References in This Episode Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun (affiliate link) Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun (affiliate link) Key Takeaways General Heroes of Faerûn is the first true D&D 2024 character-option splatbook, in the tradition of Xanathar's and Tasha's, packed with subclasses, feats, spells, and lore. The majority of subclasses saw significant nerfs from Unearthed Arcana, reinforcing WotC's new balance philosophy. College of the Moon Bard A hybrid support bard borrowing from druidic themes. Strong teleport-invisibility support, limited offensive tools, and a wild Moonbeam healing mechanic ripe for table shenanigans. Knowledge Domain Cleric A faithful update of the 2014 version. Expertise in two knowledge skills, powerful divination tools, short-rest spell economy, and endgame foresight. One of the strongest "planning" subclasses in D&D 2024. Banneret Fighter A complete reimagining of the Purple Dragon Knight, now an excellent party leader and tactical commander. Shares Second Wind healing, grants team-wide advantages, and enables coordinated movement and attacks through Action Surge. Simple to play, powerful in groups, great for new players wanting high impact. Oath of Noble Genies Paladin The "elements paladin," using Elemental Smites for flavorful battlefield control. Highly flexible and accessible, though spell list may feel inconsistent. Winterwalker Ranger Cold-focused striker with explosive damage potential toned down from UA. Hunter's Mark dependency remains but gains flavorful ice-themed tools. Solid, straightforward, and thematically cohesive. Overall Subclass diversity in Heroes of Faerûn sets a strong precedent for future 2024 design. Party-support subclasses (Banneret, Moon Bard) shine particularly bright. This book positions itself as the real launch point for 2024 character customization.

For years, mobile marketers have been navigating a storm of signal loss, rising UA costs, siloed data, and an explosion of tools that promise growth but rarely deliver clarity. Now, with 2026 on the horizon — and budgets tightening even further — one question keeps resurfacing: How do you drive confident, profitable app growth in the year ahead? In this App Talk special of the Business of Apps Podcast, David Murphy speaks with Eoin Hallahan, Chief Revenue Officer at SplitMetrics, about what the mobile growth landscape is really demanding of teams as they prepare for 2026. Eoin lays out the new realities UA and ASO managers are facing: deeper signal loss, more channel fragmentation, and rising internal pressure to deliver results without expanding headcount. You'll hear how SplitMetrics is reshaping app growth with a unified approach to Apple Ads, App Store Optimization, and AI — including SplitMetrics Iris, an AI agent trained specifically on mobile marketing data. Eoin explains how Iris gives UA teams a strategic edge by turning competitor activity, keyword trends, and performance blind spots into instant, actionable guidance. If you're reevaluating your growth playbook for 2026 — or looking for a smarter, faster way to connect the dots across UA, ASO, and analytics — this conversation is essential listening. Let's dive in: here's Eoin Hallahan, CRO at SplitMetrics. Today's topics include: Why app growth is getting harder heading into 2026, from signal loss to budget pressure and fragmented data. How UA and ASO workflows need to evolve, and why aligning paid and organic strategies is now essential. What SplitMetrics Iris does, and how an AI agent built specifically for mobile marketing changes decision-making. How AI speeds up competitive research, keyword strategy, and campaign optimization — with examples from Flow and NordVPN. Where app growth is heading next, including automation, real-time intelligence, and a new operating model for mobile growth.

In this special on-location episode, Mike Palmer visits the headquarters of The Urban Assembly (UA) in New York City's Financial District to sit down with David Adams, CEO of The Urban Assembly and host of the Innovations in Public Education podcast. We explore how David and his team have evolved from designing 22 high-performing schools in NYC to "designing tools" that solve critical constraints in public education. David breaks down his "Theory of Constraints"—analyzing how barriers like time, knowledge, and resources limit school outcomes—and how UA is using Artificial Intelligence to dismantle them. The centerpiece of this innovation is Project CAFE (Classroom Automated Feedback Environment). David explains how this AI-powered tool acts as an "instant replay" for educators, allowing them to view 10-second clips of their own practice—such as questioning techniques or student talk time—without the high cost or pressure of traditional observation. By reducing the cost of feedback to roughly $150 per teacher, CAFE is flipping the script on professional development, moving from an "avalanche of evaluation" to a "drip, drip, drip of professional development". We also touch on the Urban Assembly's impressive results, including a record-breaking 92.4% graduation rate, and how their focus on social-emotional learning (SEL) and workforce readiness is reshaping economic mobility for students. Key Takeaways: From Schools to Tools: How UA supports its network of 22 schools while building scalable solutions for the broader education system. Project CAFE: An inside look at the AI tool that automates observation, offering private, low-stakes feedback for teachers to improve their "game tape". The Theory of Constraints: Using AI to reduce the "time tax" on learning outcomes and instructional coaching. Workforce Readiness: How "CounselorGPT" and Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways are moving students from "guessing to guidance" regarding the labor market. Record-Breaking Outcomes: Discussing the 92.4% graduation rate and the 100% success rate at the Urban Assembly Institute for Math and Science for Young Women. Mentioned in this Episode: Podcast: Innovations in Public Education with David Adams. Organization: The Urban Assembly. Tools: Project CAFE and CounselorGPT. Next Step for You: If you enjoyed David's insights on solving constraints in education, would you like me to summarize the specific "Theory of Constraints" framework he uses so you can apply it to your own organizational challenges?
