two & a half gamers

Zedge removed banners from an app with 721 million installs — half as a joke, to be consistent in a refresh-rate test. Impressions fell 38%. Revenue went up 1%. Their North Star metric rose 1.77%. Then they ran it in reverse to make sure, and got the same result. Banners might genuinely be dead.Felix Braberg goes solo for an ad-monetization interview with Ignas Danielius, Head of Ad Monetization at Zedge (the personalization company behind the 721M-install, 4.7-rated wallpaper and ringtone app, plus Emojipedia, GuruShots, and the new Dataseats AI-training-data business). They cover how ad-mon has evolved (from painful waterfalls to bidding and, ironically, back to user-value-segmented waterfalls), why banners went from Zedge's main revenue driver to a stale unit (the format is functionally unchanged since the late '90s while interstitials and rewarded have been through a conversion arms race; 5-second refresh rates kill advertiser value; misclicks and unfixable redirects), and the experiment itself: a refresh-rate test (15/20/30 seconds) with a "for a laugh" variant that removed banners entirely — run from December 8 through January, spanning the best and worst ad-ops months, with the no-banner group outperforming control for the entire duration. Ignas explains the mechanism (advertisers bid on the user, and a fast-refreshing banner is the cheapest impression to "buy" them on — remove it and later-session interstitials, numbers four through six, see fill rates explode), why the first interstitial didn't change, why Google likely drove the biggest effect, the conditions under which other publishers can reproduce it (top networks, up to 15 bidders on interstitials, low latency, a full format mix — and frequency of use matters)The takeaway: "the banner always contributes" was a status quo nobody tested. Zedge tested it.

Game discussed in the video - One Mage Army: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eyaegmoranm.onemagearmy A solo developer messaged Jakub at Gamesforum to say the podcast helped him grow his game from zero to $25K a month, now heading to $50K. This video is for exactly that person: one game, no creative team, no UA department — and a launch that needs to happen anyway.Matej Lančarič goes solo for the first episode of his dev journey, launching his own game, One Mage Army (Android now, iOS in a couple of weeks), in the least ideal conditions: the build was done, Singular and ad monetization were in, but every motion designer and playable person was busy on client work, there was no gameplay footage anywhere online, and all he had was the store page. He walks the whole setup in order: wiring the network connectors (Unity, Google, Mintegral, Meta, Moloco, and more), the Singular events he needed before anything could run (ad impressions, purchases, level victories, hero unlocks — the first-session events), then the creative problem. With nothing to work from, he fed Layer.ai the store link and one brief — 59-second, story-driven, "one mage vs. a horde," keep the store's art style — and had ten AI videos in about 90 minutes, no gameplay at all. They're not perfect, and he says so: any client would reject them. They're also his best performers on Facebook and Apple. Add Playable Maker playables (plus playables built in Layer from the game's own sprites, seven more in the back pocket), and the campaigns: on Facebook, an ad-impression campaign to get any data ($0.18 CPI, ~200 installs), then a level-5 achieve campaign that started producing purchasers on its own (10-13 IPM, ~$0.90 CPI on tier 1, Germany best), then tier-1 purchase campaigns (~€3 CPI, US ~$4.50). On AppLovin, blended-ROAS worldwide (the game is ~40% IAP / 60% ads): a brutal $60 CPI on day one, $30, then $7, now $3.60 and heading toward $2 — and the discipline of not panicking when it's your own money.The lesson, stated plainly: volume and diversity beat polish. Ten imperfect videos beat one perfect one. Get data in first, ladder the campaigns, iterate the winner.

UNEARTHED ARCANA: UNDERDARK OPTIONS - We're unenlightened!!!

The RPGBOT.Podcast

Welcome to the Underdark, where the sun doesn't shine, everyone wants to murder you, and Wizards of the Coast has apparently decided what this place really needed was more light. Sorry, Unlight. Totally different. We've got a glowing Barbarian who can't turn off the high beams, a Rogue whose subclass starts working sometime around retirement age, a Wizard with healing powers and questionable workplace safety practices, and finally a perfectly reasonable solution to all of these problems: put a tadpole in your skull and become a Mind Flayer. Somehow, that's the part we liked. Show Notes This week, we head underground to dig through the latest Unearthed Arcana: Underdark Options, featuring three new subclasses, a Ceremorphosis feat path, and the Mind Blast spell. First up is the Path of Unlight Barbarian, a character who rages so hard they become a walking lantern. There are some genuinely useful ideas here, including radiant retaliation, blindsight, and the ability to make enemies glow, but the damage numbers struggle to keep up and several abilities feel strangely dependent on fighting invisible creatures. Worse, your Barbarian apparently has no dimmer switch, so raging in the Underdark turns you into a thirty-foot beacon advertising free adventurers to every monster nearby. Then we meet the House Agent Rogue, built around charm, betrayal, and stabbing people who thought you were their friend. The fantasy is great. The mechanics are considerably less cooperative. Several of the subclass's signature abilities depend on creatures being friendly or charmed, but the tools needed to make that happen reliably either arrive far too late or don't interact with the rules the way the subclass seems to expect. By level 17, the House Agent can finally do much of what we wanted it to do at level 3. That is one hell of an onboarding process. The Imaskari wizard fares better mechanically. It can convert elemental damage to radiant damage, spend Hit Dice to hand out temporary hit points, heal allies, remove conditions, and eventually curse enemies with Unlight until they explode. There are some strong ideas here, particularly the bonus-action healing and restoration options, but the subclass feels like several different concepts sharing an apartment because none of them could afford rent alone. And then somebody finally releases the tadpoles. The Path of Ceremorphosis is easily the most interesting material in the UA. It lets characters gradually embrace Illithid abilities through a feat tree, picking up Psionic Energy Dice, telepathy, defensive abilities, tentacles, and eventually full Ceremorphosis. At the end of the path, you can become an aberration, gain Mind Flayer abilities, and choose between eating brains or spellcasting. Choose spellcasting. Mind Blast alone makes the decision pretty easy. A massive cone, an Intelligence save, psychic damage, and the stunned condition is an incredibly nasty combination. With Psionic Energy Dice potentially letting a high-level character use it repeatedly without spending normal spell slots, this is also the part most likely to receive a visit from the balance hammer before publication. Overall, Underdark Options is a mixed bag. The Barbarian looks salvageable with better scaling and stronger flavor. The Rogue probably needs to go back to the drawing board. The Wizard works, but doesn't inspire much excitement. Ceremorphosis, however, feels like exactly the kind of weird, dangerous character option the Underdark should be giving us. The Underdark is full of Drow assassins, Illithids, Umber Hulks, ancient civilizations, horrific monsters, political intrigue, poisons, spiders, and things with entirely too many tentacles. There is plenty of material here. We're just still trying to figure out why everyone is so excited about Unlight. Key Takeaways Path of Unlight Barbarian has some solid ideas, but weak damage scaling and mandatory glowing hold it back. The subclass's reliance on blindsight and revealing invisible enemies can become very campaign-dependent. House Agent Rogue has a fantastic betrayal fantasy, but its mechanics don't reliably support that fantasy. Several important House Agent abilities arrive far too late, with some of the subclass finally functioning properly around level 17. The Imaskari wizard is probably the strongest of the three subclasses mechanically, especially as a secondary healer. Spending Hit Dice for bonus-action healing and condition removal gives the Wizard some excellent action economy. Unlight still feels underdeveloped as a concept. The hosts wanted something stranger and more distinctly Underdark. Ceremorphosis is the highlight of the UA and continues the promising idea of character paths built through feat trees. Some Ceremorphosis options are niche, especially the tentacle and brain-eating mechanics. Mind Blast is extremely powerful thanks to its large area, Intelligence save, and ability to stun. Repeated Mind Blasts fueled by Psionic Energy Dice look strong enough that they may need adjustment. The hosts generally liked the villainous path concept and want to see more options built around it. Final verdict: mixed bag. The subclasses need work, but becoming a Mind Flayer is apparently a perfectly reasonable career move. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Rob Vilches, training specialist with the United Association (UA), live from the 2026 UA Instructor Training Program (ITP) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. With roughly 2,200 UA instructors on campus and over 400,000 members across the U.S. and Canada, the UA quietly runs one of the largest training operations in the skilled trades.Rob breaks down:• How the UA trains the trainers, turning field technicians into skilled classroom instructors• How the Future Instructor Program identifies and develops leadership potential in fourth- and fifth-year apprentices• Why so many technicians are already "teaching" without realizing it• The culture shift within the trades toward treating apprentices with respect and long-term vision• The UA's Pipe Pals initiative, tackling mental health and suicide prevention head-on with peer supportRob shares personal insight into how the UA is reshaping its culture from the ground up. He emphasizes that great instructors and a healthier industry start with recognizing the mentors already among us. Whether you're a technician who's never thought of yourself as a teacher or an industry leader looking to build a stronger pipeline of educators, this episode offers a powerful look at what's possible when an organization puts people first.Learn more at ua.org.#HVAC #SkilledTrades #UnitedAssociation #Instructors #ESCO #ESCOInstitute--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Almost every game that tried the Backpack Hero setup on mobile failed. Overgeared Hero didn't — it's the strongest adaptation the crew has seen; it's doing ~$100K a day, and it pulled off the thing most Asian-developed RPGs can't: it cracked the US.We break down Overgeared Hero by Craft (Korea) — a mid-core RPG built on a Hobby/RPG chassis (gacha, energy, idle expedition, gear-merge, endless tower, pet dungeons) but with a genuinely novel core: inventory-Tetris roguelite runs where you arrange, merge, and position gear in a backpack, and adjacency bonuses (place items near the right weapon or armor) turn it into more than just Tetris. The standout mechanic Jakub unpacks: your upgradeable starting gear sits outside the recipe book, so meta-progression makes you stronger at the start of each run — a roguelite spend-depth lever that lets them keep raising enemy stats and keep you spending. They cover the numbers (~$100K/day since a June launch, ~20K downloads/day, and crucially 24% of revenue from the US, then Japan at 23% and Korea at 13% — rare US strength for an Asian mid-core), the deliberately simple ad setup (12 rewarded placements, all unlocked at once after floor-one round-six, ~15% ad revenue / ~$19K/day, with LINE in the stack for Japan), and why this audience (hardcore PC-pixel, Castlevania/Shovel Knight/Balatro-adjacent, the players who check a tier list before they play) doesn't want aggressive interstitials and can't be scaled on cheap high-volume traffic.

After realizing the customer acquisition cost with Apple Search Ads and Meta Ads was too high to scale his app, Michael Butler looked for a better acquisition model. In the process, he discovered an opportunity to solve an overlooked growth marketing problem: no reliable way to track app transactions back to the affiliates or influencers driving them. In this episode, the Insert Affiliate founder explains how app marketers can turn creator partnerships into a measurable acquisition channel using attribution links, referral codes, and real-time transaction tracking. Michael also shares why engaged micro-influencers can outperform larger creators, how to structure revenue share, and why affiliate marketing is becoming more compelling as traditional user acquisition costs continue to rise. Questions Michael Butler answered in this episode: What is affiliate marketing, and how does it work specifically for mobile apps? How can app marketers attribute transactions and revenue back to individual affiliates and creators? What problem led Michael to build Insert Affiliate? Why has affiliate marketing historically been underused compared with traditional paid UA? What does a simple affiliate marketing program look like for an app launching one for the first time? Which types of apps and verticals tend to perform best with affiliate marketing? What does “optionality” in affiliate attribution mean, and why does it matter? Is it better to recruit hundreds of affiliates or focus on a smaller group of highly engaged creators? Should app marketers compensate creators with flat fees, recurring revenue share, or a combination of both? How much commission should an app offer its affiliates, and should that commission be based on installs or sales?

It's the same as hiring any sort of staff member.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the last few days, Justin Bieber has been quietly but decisively expanding both his family narrative and his business empire, with SKYLRK emerging as the key long‑term storyline in his biography. On the personal front, outlets like People and Hola! USA report that Justin and Hailey recently celebrated their son Jack Blues Bieber's second birthday, sharing sweet, low‑key family moments, including a special breakfast and intimate photos on social media. These glimpses, combined with Justin's recent posts cuddling Jack and kissing Hailey at a Dodgers game, mark a clear phase where fatherhood and marriage are central to his public image, moving him further from the teen‑idol era into a family‑man chapter that will matter in any future telling of his life. In the past couple of days, Brazilian entertainment sites UOL and Quem note that Justin shared a new set of romantic photos with Hailey on Instagram, showing the couple embracing by a mountain lake, Hailey in a bikini and Justin shirtless with a cigar, captioned with just a heart emoji. That minimalist caption and the intimate, curated aesthetic fit the now‑established pattern of Bieber using social media less for shock and more for controlled, lifestyle‑driven storytelling. The biggest biographical development, though, is business. According to Hypebeast and Yahoo News, as well as coverage from UA.News and Whoopsee, Justin has publicly stated on X and Instagram that he wants to create a **SKYLRK phone**, inviting engineers and creators to contact a dedicated email to “bring it to life together.” He has already expanded SKYLRK from fashion and footwear into audio and small tech accessories, including phone cases, portable chargers, speakers, and an upcoming “SKYLRK Audio” line of wired headphones that Hailey has been soft‑launching by wearing the brand's colorful wired earbuds in recent appearances. While there is no confirmed timeline, specs, or manufacturer yet for the SKYLRK smartphone, reputable tech and culture outlets uniformly frame this as an early‑stage concept rather than a finished product. Any talk of release dates or features beyond what Justin has posted himself should be treated as speculation and not yet verified. Taken together, the last few days show Justin Bieber actively writing his next chapter: consolidating a family‑centered image while positioning SKYLRK as a serious lifestyle‑plus‑tech brand that could define his post‑music legacy as much as his chart hits ever did.

Most credit cards want the full balance back at the end of the month, at punitive interest, with a fixed limit that has nothing to do with how your campaigns are actually performing. PVX is building the opposite: a UA-financing credit card where your limit resets based on ROAS, so as long as the performance is there, you never have to stop spending.We sit down with Joe Wadakethalakal (CEO and co-founder of PVX Partners) to break down the credit card PVX is launching in Q4. The core idea: bring PVX's ROAS-based underwriting — the same approach behind their UA financing — into a credit card with dynamic, performance-based limits. https://pvxpartners.com/cardsJoe walks how it works (spend $100K, and if the curves look good you can spend $200K next month while only paying back the first month's ROAS, ~30-40%, because PVX resets the limit rather than demanding the full balance), the crucial distinction between the card and traditional UA financing (the card is still a loan you repay; UA financing means PVX takes the cohort risk), per-channel cards with ROAS-based limits (a Meta card, a TikTok card, each capped by that channel's performance), the underwriting mechanism (MMP data via a fast agent-based installer, ~90% confidence on monthly performance within 15 days of signal), the Amex-points debate (are you optimizing for points or for cheaper, resettable capital?), and the launch plan (UK and 4-6 EU countries first in October-November, then ramp globally). The takeaway: for early-stage studios and solopreneurs, the real bottleneck usually isn't the cost of capital — it's the credit limit and the ability to keep rolling it. That's what PVX is trying to unlock.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Meet Joe from PVX Partners — the credit card idea03:00 Why UA financing through a credit card04:15 ROAS-based dynamic limits and per-channel cards06:00 How PVX underwrites — MMP data and fast integration10:40 What happens when the golden cohorts fade12:30 Card vs UA financing — who takes the cohort risk15:00 The Amex-points debate — points vs cheaper capital17:25 UK/EU launch, the ideal customer, and Q4 timing

Send us Fan MailIn-office lab is one of the most common ancillary additions practices consider, and one of the easiest to get expensively wrong. Part one of two: the framework that decides everything before you spend a dollar. What CLIA is. The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, passed in 1988 and administered by CMS, govern all lab testing on human specimens. Every test your practice runs on a patient sample requires a certificate. Which certificate you need depends on the complexity of the test, not on what you would like to do. The three categories. Waived tests are simple enough for FDA-approved over the counter use: strep, flu, COVID antigen, dipstick, glucose, pregnancy. A Certificate of Waiver runs about $150 every two years with no routine inspection, and the compliance standard is following the manufacturer's instructions exactly. Moderately complex covers CBC, CMP and UA with microscopy, and requires a designated lab director, documented competency, daily QC, proficiency testing and routine inspection. High complexity is hospital and reference lab territory. Getting certified. Confirm your exact analyzer model and test kit are on the CMS waived list, file Form CMS-116 with your state or MAC, expect two to four weeks and about $150, then build your policies and train your staff. Only then buy equipment. CLIA number first, equipment second. The four questions. What are you already referring out that you could run yourself? What does your patient population need at point of care? What is your payer mix for these test types? And do you have the staff capacity and the discipline for the compliance program? The strongest business case is for tests that change the same-day clinical decision. Three actions this week Pull your reference lab orders for the last 90 days and group them by test type. That list is your candidate menu, and it is real demand rather than a projection. Look up your exact analyzer model and test kit on the CMS waived test list at cms.gov before you take a single vendor call. Name who would own the compliance program, and ask them honestly whether they have the bandwidth to do daily QC consistently. Episode breakdown Segment 1: the CLIA framework and the three complexity categories Segment 2: what certification actually takes, waived and moderately complex Segment 3: the four questions that decide it for your practice Resources RECOVER Diagnostic  eligibility.natrevmd.com/recover-quiz-lp Practice Financial Health Dashboard for Physicians  eligibility.natrevmd.com/free-practice-financial-health-dashboard-for-physicians-natrevmd CMS waived test list  cms.gov, searchable by test name and manufacturer CMS Form CMS-116, the CLIA application Trusted resources library  natrevmd.com/trusted-resources/ Part 2: EP208, building the business case for in-office lab testing

Ua mavae sina taimi ma ua toe oo i lona taimi e avatu ai le toto ma ua mananao taulaitu i toto o lana fanau. O le taimi la lea na ia saili ai se fesoasoani mai le Atua e faasaoina lana fanau mai le fuafuaga a le tiapolo. Faafetai i le Atua na sau i le lotu ona faasaolotoina lea o ia e le Atua. Le au pele e, e leai se mea lelei pe tumau e ono ofoina atu e le tiapolo. Mo soo se mea e na te foai atu, e na te aveina le faitau afe mo le taui. Ou te tatalo e foai atu e le Atua ia te oe le alofa tunoa e alo ese ai mai mailei a le tiapolo. Afai o loo iai se vaega o lou olaga o loo uuina e le tiapolo ma ua e fia saoloto, ou te folafola atu ua e saoloto i le asō i le suafa o Iesu. E leai se mea lelei e ofoina mai e le tiapolo mo i latou o loo auauna ia te ia. O i latou o auauna ia te ia, o loo agai atu i le faafanoga e faavavau, i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

The 190 passengers of a United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey to Palma de Mallorca, Spain had settled into their seats for their overnight flight when the captain gave an announcement: everyone had to turn off their Bluetooth devices — or he was going to turn around the plane. This confounded passengers, because Bluetooth is safe for airplanes. It stays enabled when devices are on airplane mode. United even encourages using Bluetooth headphones to connect to in-flight entertainment. What was going on? The flight crew couldn't say. So the passengers took to...where else? Reddit. Show notes: UA flight - 'turn bluetooth off or we're turning around' (Reddit) This episode was reported and produced by Grace Tatter, and co-hosted by Grace Tatter, Amory Sivertson and Ben Brock Johnson.
