@emirhan_bilim @jason_isaia @beyoncegarden in the US cell phones weren’t accessible to middle class fams until ~2000. 2005 was the 1st year more than half of teens had phones. Most plans charged per text or offered a few hundred free texts until ~2010 as well, making texting impractical as a regular form of chatting

@RichDecibels basketball strategy has evolved massively over the last 20 years due to analytics. The change took so long, even as analytics oriented teams won more with less, because of the entrenchment of former players who couldn't believe wonky outsiders could add anything to the sport.

@seanilling Not just its collapse but the legacy expectation that we should have the same confidence in the Truth that we had before. It’s this entitlement that causes people to buy into the Truth of their bubble and to dehumanize outsiders. Maybe culture can evolve and alter expectations.

@c0lette3ste11e @Adimverse we were on the thing's planet and getting married and yada yada yada, what I thought was happily ever after turned into a failed run for president of the Confederacy of Trow, a custody battle turned genocide, and an escape back to this POS planet. And now...

@Adimverse "Illumination or illusion?" Very cool. Gonna steal that.

Introducing another stellar room from the Adim community:The Twizm Mosaic. 🔦

Led by @mwfc, this is a podcast about Twizm, an entity composed of bands and cogs that emanate neon light, whirring and clicking as it constantly re-flows into new shapes. Those who encounter it report profound changes to their outlook, a renewed curiosity and hope as though part of their child self is reawakened. 

Thing is, according to every scientific instrument, Twizm doesn’t exist. Mass hysteria. That was the official classification of Twizm. More than that though, officials backed down from that diagnosis because no one likes when their most meaningful experience is classified as a hallucination.

Now, someone’s leaked documents, exposing interviews with contactees and those who profess inside knowledge of Twizm. Depending on whom you ask, this is the story those documents tell about what Twizm may be, about the agenda of the organization that collected the docs, the motives of the anonymous leaker, or the self-serving supernatural fantasies people have indulged in for all time.

Check out more about the The Twizm Mosaic on the Adim site and decide for yourself if the Twizm phenomenon is fact or fiction!

@Adimverse A kitten appeared and in a strange accent said, "Squidders, you're 3 minutes late, and if Ms. Rufenheim was here, I'd be severing some of your arteries with this here claw... Or maybe this one..."

"Sssscary sounds," Squidders said, but the kitten rolled her eyes. And then...

Introducing Fletch, a new Adim character from the room Twizm.🔦🎬

Max Fisher-Cohen @mwfc and his creators room (along with writer @daniellekrage) are pitching Fletch and her podcast OnlyVans to ACP-2!

Fletch is the 26-year-old host of OnlyVans, a dark, comical, ironic podcast. In it, she covers topics surrounding her van life journey as a means to explore the line between imagination and reality, loneliness, human connection and our inherent selfishness, especially her own. Fletch is a provocateur who loves playing with and subverting expectations in comical, grim and theatrical ways. Her greatest desire though is to cut through the bullshit, her own and the world’s.

Learn more about Fletch on Adim's ACP-2 Summer Create Campaign page!

@BryanGibberman Intentional the RJ year. The KP, year Melo got hurt. Roster was loaded with vets & aiming for playoffs (to validate the holy triangle!). Jackson blew it up AFTER a 5-36 start. They still blew the #1 pick by not resting THJr, their best player, the last few games.

Introducing the Adim Arcade, otherwise known as The Guild.

From the creators of Zaug (@Mettulus @themattmoen @mwfc ), Adim Arcade is a decentralized Guild focused on creating games and interactive experiences for characters and stories. Adim members from any room can join and work with other guild members, or on their own to build whatever their minds imagine for their characters. "Zaug," his cast, and his world, will also be available for anyone to create with.

Adim Arcade is open to any Adim Members who want to contribute to creating games for these characters, or create new characters and get help from others to bring them to life. You do NOT need to have expertise in anything game related, only an open and creative mind.

Check it out on the Adim platform today!

[Zaug @ZaugSlayerOfJoy]

The Adimverse expands, and within it, I find myself torn between evil ancestry and a hero's heart. Join me on a quest for identity, unyielding and relentless against the tides of fate! #LordOfChaos

[Incention @incention_io]

Meet Zaug, a red-eyed black knight warlock whose life’s quest is single-fold: to create chaos! There’s just one problem – he’s a good guy!

In Kadarz, a world so post-post-apocalyptic it’s become fantasy, there was once a great evil tyrant that all men feared, an evil tyrant whose power and influence allowed them to conquer the ten realms. Zaug is the most recent Prince in that long proud line of Dark Lords. Suffice to say, he has big shoes to fill. Evil may reign supreme in Kadarz, but they don’t make evil like they used to, as the once great and evil bloodline of the Kingdom has finally produced a dud.

The creators of Zaug, @Mettulus, @themattmoen and their Creator Room, are developing Zaug in multimedia formats including animation, children books, graphic novels, and AI powered games and interactive experiences.

You can learn more about Zaug in the character hub on the Adim platform.

@ilex_ulmus @joshjob42 When something gets attention, people who want attention will dress up like they care about that thing that's getting attention. They bail when the reward goes away. Question is how important is it to challenge adherents' authenticity during the good times?

[Max @mwfc]

@NYKnicksPodcast Quick, Mitch, Grimes and jb are a nice “role players awaiting a star” core. Randle & RJ have wildly inconsistent careers. Would move them. Too many wins to tank. how’s this team win a playoff series? Tough to see unless u chug gallons of Randle Kool Aid. When do you sell high?

[Max @mwfc]

@NYKnicksPodcast Selling high. He’s 28 and has been super volatile in terms of production year to year. What is fair to expect from him going forward? Decent starter?

[Max @mwfc]

@NYKnicksPodcast If you’re gonna sell, still high. Do you think randle will be better or worse the rest of the season? What about the rest of the contract? I agree the Knicks won’t trade him under Rose but if we only talk about what the FO will do, this are sad convos.

[Max @mwfc]

@NYKnicksPodcast Seems like Rose may get a second chance to get out of the Randle contract if he keeps this up a bit longer. Hope he takes it.

[Max @mwfc]

@NYKnicksPodcast Leon can’t survive a rebuild so he can trade JR for another wack vet, with people will take as proof Leon screwed up by extending JR, or he can pray JR gets back to lockdown form. The latter is best for his job security.

[Max @mwfc]

@NYKnicksPodcast People get upset the team is bad and then want to bribe rebuilding teams to take NYK’s problem contracts when the Knicks are more in need of rebuilding than the teams they’d bribe.
