I only know his handywork.

...and what he put in his multi-million selling, NYT-Bestsellers list topping, multiple-editions-in-many-languages printing autobiography.

fer real, dude. Try harder.

He did actually receive flack for it in his lifetime. He addressed it in his book 'Made in America'.

[on media attention]:

>"When you start out as an unknown quantity with just a dream and a commitment, you couldn’t buy a mention of your company in one of these publications. When you become moderately successful, they still ignore you unless something bad happens to you. Then, the more successful you become, the more suspicious they become of you. And if you ever become a large-scale success, it’s Katie bar the door. Suddenly, you make a very convenient villain because everybody seems to love shooting at who’s on top."

[on competition]

>"Business is a competitive endeavor, and job security lasts only as long as the customer is satisfied . Nobody owes anybody else a living."

Worth a read. Not only inspiring, but debunks many of the wild accusations you read online. The biggest being that Walmart is singlehandedly responsible for destroying many small businesses. When in reality, Walmart fought Kmart (and many other discount stores) hard. If Walmart didn't win, someone else would have. It's not so much the fault of one person, but the fault of the society at that time: customers were prepared to let small businesses die if it meant they could save money on their weekly groceries.

I'm just curious, are you talking about the book Sam Walton: Made in America?

Yea actually I agree with this, I thought about it and I think unlocking weapons is not that big of a deal.

Yesterday I was thinking maybe the good in-between solution to this grind horror would be to have at least proper essence reward scaling as it sort of was in last beta. If I get 500 essence for W2 at recruit difficulty, I should get at like 1.5X or 2X of that for normal recruit run since its longer than weave. Than it should scale up, with difficulty so Legend should do I don't know ... 3 000 - 5000 or something ? And Cata should do at least 10 000 - 20 000. Because how many players can do it... at least it would now reward you something meaningful. If boxes don't provide crap... (another failed decision btw.)

If you are at the competence level that you can do Legend/Cataclysm ... than you should get crapload of that purple juice so you don't have to farm and slog thru recruit weaves because that is basically just waste of time and nobody will enjoy that.

So you would do few Cata runs and than you could upgrade your weave equip at least for one char for max level super fast and than the key part comes !

And I will again use Path of Exile, because they again solve this kind of problem easily ! And there is no need to try playing genious and invent some crazy mechanics when others already solved the problem

(I very much doubt anyone will argue that Sam Walton had dumb approach : https://www.amazon.com/Sam-Walton-Made-America/dp/0553562835 , short book, very relevant on this topic, the guy did very well with Walmart I think)

In short POE had one league called Delve, which is basically endless dungeon where you progress from easy to harder stuff, running thru "short chunks" of maps (see... kinda like weaves !) But if you play normal game... and do let's say whole storyline, and you are at level 60-65/100 , kinda buffed by that point, you sure don't want to go and run level 30 delve "chunks", forcing players to do that would be just dumb. So what happens there is that it automatically progresses for you up to certain level. It's like up to 60 or something. Which is +- where storyline ends and final endgame mapping system starts.

So... if you are 60-70 level and you did no Delve "chunks" at all, what you do now is just start running the level 60 chunks! And it doesn't feel like complete waste of time. Even if you are L75 lets say, you can do L60 chunks fast, get possibly some nice loot and it's very easy to burst thru 15 levels of chunks to get to L75 area where it will start getting more and more dangerous and interesting!

What a crazy concept! Right ?

So they could do the same thing here, make this kind of automatic progression or just let us farm the essences properly by core game hard content much faster if we can do the hard content so we can than burst thru the boring weaves fast. But imo there should be similar system to POE, meaning if I am L35 and doing Cataclysm with my group easily, I SURE AS HELL SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO PLAY 100 OF EASY WEAVES so I can reach the Legend/Cata weaves.

I should be able to start with the "level 60 chunks like I can in POE" which would here translate to something like spot where Legend weaves starts. All the recruit/vet/champ weave chunks would get unlocked automatically as I would complete lets say all Helmgard maps on recruit/veteran/champ !

POE Delve Chart : https://www.goldkk.com/upload/20190220/6368627945052864627267035.png (You can go anywhere in the dungeon but down = higher level, up = easier, and the middle line is the one that will just progress automatically as you level UP your character so you don't have to do the stupid easy chunks when you are high level, up to mentioned certain point - the endgame/relatively hardcontent)

> The urge surfing recording is pretty good too. I think the key is that you have to keep doing something. Whenever I was bored and had nothing to do, I just defaulted to watching porn. Just fill your day with activities that are engaging. DON'T fill your day with stuff you know you won't do (for me it's reading, english class has ruined that for me lol) but do stuff you legitimately enjoy.

Hey man, you should try reading, there are men and women who spent like 35 years of wisdom in a field, and put their entire life's wisdom in a few pages. Schools ruined it for us but there are A LOT of books out there. Take for example Sam Walton, he made billions, richest man on Earth right? He wrote, on his deathbed, a book, and for like $7 on Amazon you can have the man's lifetime of wisdom.

Reading is AMAZING. All fields. I hope you keep an open mind. As soon as you close down and say "I know that" it's very dangerous, you go like blind.

I don't change prices very often since it just seems like it would be annoying if I were a customer. Technically I do make lots of changes to pricing and plans, just not "in production" and instead in the design phase via user studies.

Yes, I'm a technical founder. Changing pricing for me is as simple as editing some numbers in a text editor and publishing.

People responded positively because they loved the product and I priced it as low as possible. Just before I started working on my product I read Sam Walton's bio and loved the passages about pricing. I'm working on a consumer product which has a physical component, so the fulfillment and other infrastructure costs make pricing a bit more challenging than a pure software product. There's a fine line between setting prices so people from all walks of life can enjoy my product and paying my bills.
