masterpost update... 🥹

hi guys it's been a minute 🥹 as i mentioned, i was working on updating the masterpost this past week, moving a large bulk of content onto my panelshowsource googledrive account, because i think everything stored there will be easily accessible and safe long term :)

the masterpost is the same original link it's been since it was established over 5 years ago! always bookmark the original post, not a reblog and not this post, so you have access to the most updated version & its links!

—

i had to do some reorganising of the post because of tumblr's latest round of post restrictions:

i'm not able to provide many alternative links because i'm nearly at the link limit as it is, but i think what's provided is reliable and you can always send an ask if a link needs updating!

since i can no longer give every series its own photo header, everything is organised by bolded text and bullet points, which will look and read best on desktop opposed to mobile (mobile seems to despise indentation)

—

a few notes regarding specific titles:

i did add all of taskmaster to my drive due to overwhelming requests, but only s1–4+15 are in 1080p, so i will begin updating the 720p files to 1080p over the next couple of weeks. thanks for your patience! in the meantime, you can watch them in hd on youtube ofc! i'll also update hypothetical as i get those locked down

i...i wanna say something so honest... i really don't care about a league of their own and most of you don't seem to either. it's a huge hassle organising the episodes because — not to say this for the third time in two sentences — but most people don't care much about it and haven't made the effort to keep it archived. we haven't seen a source for a complete series 6 in, like, 8 years. i'm not going to be making an effort to log that title for the time being. sorry if that's an inconvenience, but feel free to use the resources linked in my faq for your own research!

i added all of travel man (720p) and bridget christie's the change (1080p) to the misc watch links post (link below). i'll work on finishing upstart crow and then adding the rest of as yet untitled, game face, man down, and the cleaner!

i will continue uploading as-hd-as-possible versions of cats does countdown to my youtube channel and will eventually get them all on drive, but that's a slow process; i don't spend much time on youtube because half the commenters are tossers and deleting their negativity to keep it a fun space doesn't always leave me in a good mood 😡😡😡

i know a ton of celeb juice is on youtube but i haven't gotten around to organising it into a playlist (at least), but it's on my to-do list!

if you want to contribute to the post, i'm currently seeking these!

Infinity Room FAQ

What is the Infinity room?

Greetings! The Infinity Room is an ask driven story following Grian and Impulse after they find themselves stuck in Grian’s Infinity Room in season 9. The story cointains copious amounts of bugs and hidden messages!

After every update the askbox will open and readers will be able to ask questions to the characters to further the story. Asks meant for the Author must be placed in [Square Brakets] to not confuse them with Ask directed to the characters [It’s usually easy to distinguish between the two but the brackets still help!]

If you wish to contact me when the asks are closed, feel free to send a private message to the blog or my main @mine-sara-sp

When does it update?

Updates don’t have a fixed schedule, they will be announced and uploaded when ready.

How do I start reading?

By clicking “The Beginning” button on the blog from browser you’ll be able to read the entire story chronologically from start to the latest update. To have the link to work from mobile you must open the Link on the blog from your browser app instead of the Tumblr app.

Is there a recap of the story?

The Infinity Room Records summarizes the story’s events. I will update it as the story moves along!

Mobile App Maintenance and Support: Ensuring a Seamless User Experience

In today’s digital landscape, mobile applications have become an integral part of our lives. From social networking to e-commerce and productivity tools, mobile apps have transformed the way we communicate, work, and interact with the world. However, developing a successful mobile app is just the first step; to ensure its long-term success, regular maintenance and reliable support are crucial.

The Importance of Mobile App Maintenance

Mobile app maintenance refers to the process of updating, optimizing, and enhancing an application to meet changing user expectations, market trends, and technological advancements. It involves fixing bugs, addressing performance issues, and adding new features to keep the app relevant and engaging.

Regular maintenance is essential for several reasons:

1. Bug Fixes and Performance Optimization

No app is perfect, and bugs are an inevitable part of the development process. Regular maintenance allows developers to identify and fix these bugs promptly. This ensures that users have a smooth and seamless experience while using the app. Moreover, performance optimization helps in enhancing the app’s speed, responsiveness, and overall user satisfaction.

2. Compatibility with OS Updates

Operating system updates are released frequently, introducing new features and security patches. Mobile app maintenance ensures that your application remains compatible with the latest versions of operating systems, such as iOS and Android. Failure to update the app may lead to compatibility issues and a deteriorating user experience.

3. Security Enhancements

With the increasing number of cyber threats and data breaches, maintaining robust security measures is of paramount importance. Regular maintenance allows developers to identify vulnerabilities and apply necessary security patches, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data leakage. This helps in building trust among users and safeguarding their sensitive information.

4. User Feedback and Feature Updates

Users provide valuable insights and feedback on the app’s performance, usability, and desired features. Mobile app maintenance enables developers to gather this feedback and make informed decisions regarding feature updates and improvements. By addressing user needs and expectations, you can enhance user engagement and increase user retention.

The Role of Mobile App Support

Mobile app support complements maintenance efforts by providing assistance and resolving user queries and concerns. Effective app support ensures a positive user experience and builds customer loyalty. Here are some key aspects of mobile app support:

1. Prompt Issue Resolution

Users may encounter technical issues, difficulties in navigating the app, or have questions about its functionality. A responsive support team can address these concerns promptly, providing solutions and guidance to users. This helps in reducing user frustration and ensures that they continue to use and recommend the app.

2. Help Desk and Documentation

A comprehensive help desk and well-documented resources, such as FAQs, tutorials, and user guides, can empower users to find answers to common questions on their own. This reduces the burden on the support team and enables users to troubleshoot minor issues independently, thereby improving their overall satisfaction with the app.

3. User Engagement and Feedback Management

App support channels provide an opportunity to engage with users, understand their needs, and gather feedback. Support agents can collect valuable insights about user preferences, pain points, and feature requests, which can inform future maintenance and development efforts. By actively listening to users and acting upon their feedback, you can foster a sense of community and loyalty among app users.

Conclusion

Mobile app maintenance and support are indispensable for ensuring the longevity and success of your application. Regular maintenance allows you to fix bugs, optimize performance, enhance security, and incorporate user feedback. Meanwhile, effective app support ensures prompt issue resolution, empowers users with self-help resources, and facilitates user engagement. By prioritizing these aspects, you can deliver a seamless user experience, build customer loyalty, and stay ahead in today’s competitive app market.

★ AUCTION WEEK INFO ★

We’re nearing the finish line! It's amazing that so many bidders are involved in our auction—we’ve surpassed an astounding number of bids and we're looking forward to even more as things heat up in the final hours. We’re very grateful to you all, and we love that you’re so passionate about spreading the word and raising money for the wonderful charities on our list.

If you had to bow out from your bidding war, consider lending some change to a pod bid (aka group bid). Some pod bids may need an extra boost to win their auctions, and you can still help out even if you are only able or want to contribute $5! You can check the list of existing pod bids here. Feel free to start a pod bid on your own or in the #pod-bid-chat channel on our Discord. It's not too late to make one! If you make or have a pod bid that isn't on our pod bid list, let us know so we can update it.

Another option is to look at our golden needle tag, which includes auctions that haven’t been bid on yet. We know that some people don’t have much money to spare but still want to bid, and this is a great way to find auctions that may be affordable for you. You can also use our "current bid: low to high" sorting feature on our Auction Listings page (dropdown menu right under the "Auction Listings" heading) to see auctions that are within your budget.

If you want to narrow down your search to your favorite characters and ships, you can do so by using our tag list. Click on any character or ship (or even fandom, universe, fanwork type, rating, or content tag) listed. You can then sort the auctions that appear using the "current bid: low to high" feature. It's worth checking out our search guide for some search tips too!

If you intend to use a proxy bidder in the final hours of the auction, make sure that you’ve chosen a trusted friend or mutual to bid for you and checked out our proxy bidding info post. You or your proxy will need to send us your details once the auction is over so that we can connect the right person with the creator.

Finally, remember that if you end up winning an auction, you'll have to send us proof of donation by 11:59 PM ET on November 4 at the latest. (what time is that for me?). We’ve got our bidders FAQ and donation guide to help you sort out what to do when the time comes.

____________________________________________

Read our daily update posts for more information:

Day 1 - Viewing Tumblr posts on mobile, using our auction watchlist feature, and changing your Discord DM settings

Day 2 - Bidder–creator matchmaking and group/pod bids

Day 3 - Commissioning gifts on a friend’s behalf (fanworks are great holiday gifts!)

Saturday Streams FAQ

I probably should've done this years ago, but here we are! It wouldn't hurt to read it, even if you're a regular!

Why do these streams exist? They're an opportunity to showcase different, sometimes less accessible actors and productions, and I especially love the sense of community that comes with a regular get-together. It's basically just a fun hangout.

Which version(s) of Phantom do you stream? Usually the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, any time from 1988 to present day. It's often from the U.S. or UK, but I do international productions, too. There are no subtitles for those, but if you've got a decent understanding of the show, you'll still have a good time!

Sometimes I'll stream a different Phantom adaptation altogether, but that's harder to do with CyTube mostly restricted to YouTube videos.

Can anyone attend? Yes, within reason. Please do not come to hate-watch. I also reserve the right to boot people who are disruptive or combative.

Is there an age restriction? Technically no, as that's not something I can enforce. However, the vast majority of attendees are adults; if you're uncomfortable with adult conversation, it might not be the best environment for you. Hiding the chat is an option, however.

How does a stream work? Fifteen minutes before the start time, I open a private room on CyTube by posting the link and a stream-specific password here on tumblr. CyTube is available on both desktop and mobile, but desktop seems to be generally preferred among streamers. You can sign up for a free account beforehand if you'd like, but it's not necessary!

If you're logged in when you enter the password, you'll show up under your registered username. Otherwise, you'll join anonymously. If you'd like to participate in the chat without an account, there's a "Guest login" box at the bottom of the chat where you can enter a temporary username.

How long does it last? Depends on when you arrive and how long you stay! I provide pre-stream entertainment once the room opens. The show runs about two hours, and there's a 10-minute intermission at the end of act 1. Some people also stick around to chat and watch videos after!

Can I watch anonymously? Yes! See logistics above for details.

Am I expected to participate in discussion if I'm off anon? Nope! I'll be notified that you've joined and there's a decent chance you'll be greeted by name, but otherwise, you're free to fade into the background.

What if I can only attend part of the stream? You can join and/or leave at any time—multiple times, even. I will be notified when you join the chat (assuming you're not anonymous), but not when you leave.

How many people attend? Anywhere from 30-50 on average (the record is 92), including anons. Most people are from tumblr, since that's where I advertise.

What can I expect from the chat? We're pretty laid back and are happy to answer any stream- or Phantom-related questions. Chat moves at a fast pace, so messages can sometimes be overlooked or forgotten—it's not personal!

And again, we're mostly adults kicking back for the night. If you're bothered by the possibility of language, alcohol, other adult themes, and/or general thirst, this might not be the place for you.

Is there a general code of conduct? My latest mantra is "good vibes." Please show up with good intentions and assume others have them as well. We're there to enjoy a video and each other's company, so it's not really a good venue for serious discourse.

Please leave negativity toward characters, ships, headcanons, actors, and/or adaptations at the door—and yes, that includes hot-button topics such as the 2004 film, Ramin/Sierra, and Raoul. Everyone comes in with different tastes and experiences. Some people have had limited exposure, while others have been around for years and seen every debate or hot take in existence. Shaming for any reason is not OK. When we do watch a more questionable production, we aim to have fun with it rather than tear it apart.

We strongly encourage building up the things you like and ignoring those you don't! Just please avoid spamming/monopolizing the chat, and remember that your headcanons, interpretations, and/or preferences might not be universally shared.

Also, we're not perfect! Please feel free to address things that make you particularly upset or uncomfortable.

Can I talk about things unrelated to the stream? To a point! Discussion will absolutely wander, but any extended analyses, one-on-one conversations, and/or off-topic discussions should be moved elsewhere if possible. (CyTube does have a direct message function!) Please also be mindful of sensitive topics that can potentially be upsetting.

What if I don't like someone's contributions to the chat? If they're bad enough that you can't ignore, you have a few options: 1) Mute the user, 2) respectfully address your concerns with the person in chat/DM as appropriate, or 3) DM me (if it's an issue you think is more broadly disruptive).

What about additional CyTube questions I have? Please see the CyTube FAQ or user guide.

Can I make requests? Please let me know if there's someone/something you'd really like to see, and I'll put it on the request list (which is long, so no guarantees that I'll get to it right away)!

I take VERY LIMITED rewind requests during streams; please ask for them sparingly! I don't take requests for pre-show or intermission videos anymore (they can get overwhelming), but you can ask for whatever you'd like to be played post-stream.

Are there stream traditions or inside jokes I should know about? I was specifically asked to include some of these in the FAQ, so here you go:

We named the mannequin Barbara (Barb).

It's common to yell SECURE or its foreign-language equivalent when the police chief in act 2 asks whether the doors are secured.

There's a running joke that Piangi is only napping when the Phantom takes over in "Point of No Return," so there's an "N for nap" trend in the chat when he's discovered.

You might see an M for "moisten" when Raoul jumps into the lake, as he is literally moistened backstage afterward.

We've headcanoned a 500k slow-burn camping AU (affectionately known as the CAU) for Raoul/Mme Giry based on some weird tension that occasionally crops up in their scenes together. idk.

Any references to @glassprism being married to a certain restaged tour actor are most definitely a joke.

We also joke about her having a portrait in the attic that ages any time someone complains about the Phantom not catching Christine at the mirror (which is not typical outside of London due to safety concerns). This happens often.

We're playfully divided on whether "fathering" or "far-reaching" is better. It gets talked about a lot.

We often reference past performances or actors we've seen. If there's something you'd like clarified, you can ask! We won't mind!

Where do the bootlegs come from? Resident bootleg queen, trader, and expert @glassprism has been kind enough to share her collection nearly every week for years, and I am forever grateful.

Aren't bootlegs illegal and bad? This is a debate for another place and time, but from my perspective, bootlegs are helping the theater community more than hurting it. They provide access for people who can't otherwise afford or travel to see shows, they expand fans' knowledge of/appreciation for specific actors/productions, and they have immense archival value as well.

No one is going to choose a bootleg over a live show if the latter is an option, and I think you'll find that this crowd would happily throw tons of cash at the production if it were an option. (In fact, a lot of us have and will continue to do so.)

Please feel free to DM/ask/comment if you have additional questions! I will likely tweak this post as necessary.

How to Connect Cricut to Computer Bluetooth (Windows)?

Let’s start with the Windows computer. But wait, do you know what I like about Windows PCs when it comes to connecting any device via Bluetooth? Most of us are very familiar with them. Thus, it becomes easier to connect any device to Bluetooth.

Place your Cricut Explore Air 2 on a flat surface and ensure a distance of 10 – 15 between your PC and the machine.

Then, you will need to head to the Start menu and select Settings.

Afterward, you will need to tap on Devices.

Confirm whether your Bluetooth is ON, then rap on the Add Bluetooth or other device.

You should tap on the Bluetooth option and wait a while for your computer to find your Cricut model.

As it appears in the available list, you have to select the model and proceed.

Finally, you have done the pairing.

Since you have made the connection successfully, you are ready to set up your Cricut machine hassle-free.

How to Connect Cricut to Computer Bluetooth (Mac)?

You must rely on the instructions below if you are a Mac user. The steps are not difficult; it will take up to 2 minutes to connect with your Mac system. Once you are ready, start with the following instructions:

Check whether your desktop computer is turned on or off.

Once it is on, you must place the computer and machine within 10 to 15 feet.

Now, proceed to the Apple menu and select the System Preferences option.

Here, you have to find the Bluetooth option on your Mac.

Afterward, when the wireless Bluetooth is ON.

Next, you will need your Cricut machine from the available list.

Lastly, you are now connected to your Mac system when the pair is done.

Final Words

The easy-to-follow steps will help you establish the connection quickly, and you don’t need to worry about anything. So, get started with your Cricut product effortlessly with this guide.

FAQs

Can I connect my Cricut wirelessly?

Yes, it is possible and really simple for everyone to connect it wirelessly. The latest Cricut machine has a built-in Bluetooth feature that allows users to connect their Cricut to their desktop and mobile devices wirelessly. However, you must maintain an adequate distance between your Cricut and the compatible device that you want to connect.

Do I need to connect my Cricut to Wi-Fi?

It depends. Your computer must connect to the Internet to access resources such as images, fonts, or ready-made projects. However, if you have saved them already, you won’t need to connect to Wi-Fi or the Internet. Besides, the Cricut machine does not require Wi-Fi. It is completely run using Cricut software, which controls your Cricut.

Do I need to connect Cricut to computer for using Cricut Design Space?

Not necessarily! The Cricut machine does not need to be connected to your computer to use your Cricut Design app. This is a completely cloud-based software; hence, you can use it to design anything you want anytime, anywhere. Since Cricut Design Space is a free companion app, you will get thousands of images of ready-made projects for free.

Why won’t my Cricut connect to my computer?

Your Cricut might not connect to a computer for many reasons. Following are the reasons to make sure you resolve this issue:

Check network settings, as incorrect networking settings or corrupted adapters can hinder the app from working.

Check whether you have turned on the Bluetooth.

Check the USB connection and verify if there is no fault in it.

Why is it that even/especially on mobile, micro-transactions are as expensive as they are? That is, at least the ones I've seen I have to think whether the value is even there. I would have thought that "giving away" obviously great value would get more people to bite. Are big spenders worth that much more than getting more small spenders? Is there some floor where even the cheapest good deal won't entice a new spender?

You might be surprised at how much others are actually willing to pay for things they like. Big spenders do a lot of the heavy lifting, and most choose to spend because they get sufficient positive value (for them) out of the game overall. My cousin's FIFA league is an example of that - all participants are highly-paid professionals who really like soccer, so they all engage without a spending limit because it's fun for them.

For pricing determination, it's something of an optimization issue - we don't want to charge more than most spending players are willing to pay or the value proposition isn't there and they won't buy at all, but we also don't want to charge too much less than most spending players are willing to pay or we're leaving money on the table that the players would be willing to give us. Many sufficiently-large mobile games will feel this out via A/B testing, where they distribute two slightly different versions of the same game and microtransaction offerings to their players and track spending behaviors to see which set of prices do better overall. They will also do this A/B testing to try other potential changes as well - game flow, visual design, level design, etc.

You are quite correct, however - the "regular" microtransaction offerings usually aren't for the budget-minded or newer spenders. Most developers create different microtransaction products aimed at different types of players. Converting non-paying players to small spenders is extremely important to any microtransaction business model. Getting someone to spend the first time is a lot more difficult than getting them to spend the second, fifth, or fiftieth time (especially in a free-to-play environment). For new players, devs usually offer a variety of one-time introductory packages that are more budget-friendly and help with early- and mid- game content more than elder game content. These introductory products ease the transition from non-spending player into spending player.

For regular spending players that are more budget-minded, devs typically offer a different set of options - often more limited quantity time-based "deals". These often aren't the latest and greatest things released, but can provide more value to the player for the price - instead of offering the newest coolest costumes to come out, this month's deal offers a bundle of several older costumes together at a reduced price. The fact that they are better value (if not the latest and greatest) and time-sensitive tends to make the buyers feel better about their limited purchases - they're getting a better deal that isn't always available.

Obviously, those who spend the most will get the most offerings. Not only are they the ones who support the game most financially, they are also the ones who consume the most paid content and demand more. Those who spend less are still valuable, which is why we will still offer them things, but they spend less so they also consume less. New players get special treatment, because new players can bounce off of a game easily and we want to keep as many new players around for as long as we can.
