I've tried using Fiverr's brief/project feature multiple times, and it's consistently been a worse experience than just searching manually.

No matter how specific I make the brief, I still get flooded with AI-generated copy-paste proposals from (let's say) all over the world.

I've tried things like:

• Specifying a required language.
• Restricting the seller location.
• Using the "Top Picks" requirement, or whatever it's called
• Adding very specific instructions to filter out spam.

It barely seems to make a difference. Most responses don't even appear to have read the brief.

At this point, scrolling through profiles myself is faster and gives much better results.

Am I missing some setting, or is this just how Fiverr Briefs work nowadays? Has anyone actually had good experiences with them?

I even get the samen AI sentences. So I now try to add an extra assignment 'repeat this sentence if you read it'. Doesn't help really.

Hi allen,

Ik ben druk in de weer met een Nederlandse 1st edition collection. Raw t/m PSA 9 is de range.

Waar kan ik nog wat mooi spul scoren denken jullie? In bepaalde winkels of bij bepaalde shows. Online ook prima, al heb ik daar wat meer moeite mee zonder veel reveiws.

Ik vind het niet erg om wat meer te betalen dan de markt, zeker bij grotere deals of zeldzamere Nederlandse versies.

Ik ben net een 1st edition base set booster pack in het Nederlands misgelopen online. :(

Heb o.a: de starters 1st edition in PSA 9, de evoluties ervan gewoon normaal. De laatste evoluties van de starters is nog even wat te prijzig, haha.

Daarnaast heb ik een hoop randoms: van Gastly tot aan Pidgeot en meer van dat spul.

Bonus: hebben jullie ook Nederlandse kaarten? Foto's welkom

Extra bonus: Hoe bepalen jullie een degelijke prijs van een Nederlandse kaart? Engels, Duits, Spaans, Japans, Chinees en zelfs Koreaans en Frans lukt vaak nog wel online... Maar Nederlands is lang niet altijd goed vindbaar.

^(Niet echt een doel met dit bericht verder, groetjes)

I start playing with The Netherlands. I know how to play the economics, even the new rules of the ships should be crystal clear for me.

But somehow I end up with: naval invasions (even of like 4 units, because thats the maximum) to even go through. The armies have a commander, but then I get a message ''HEY YOU DUMBASS YOUR ARMY DOESNT HAVE THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS to do an invasion'' or something.

Then I check, and the army leader is gone and just... idle? Try again: same thing.

Tried with different ships, different things, same kidn of problem.

Another fun one: tried to take over some neighbour of my vassal (pre-Indonesia). My ships turn around every time around South Africa. Trying to do an invasion?Not really working.

Trying to move troops pre-emptively? No luck, my ally doesnt allow men on their soil yet before the war. So my ships and the troops always reset everytime the enemy gains ground and the front moves???

So yeah, my ships just magically turn around instead of just going to the freaking island I sent them to like 5 months ago???

I can go on: but it just doesn't seem to work properly?

Like, I dont mind if I have to wait 4 in-game years for some of my troops to arrive in small parts on the other side of the world. That actually sounds fun. But they just stop moving?

Ships also dont seem to remember where they came from after the do ONE TASK for me. I have to manually reset everything after even a tiny little war.

TLDR: I'm too regarded for this new ship system

I'm thinking of starting a Korean pirate game for fun. But what's a good ship build for that?

And for other things too: what are good ships to use for what purpose?

TLDR: recommend games on android

Just got a Samsung S11 Ultra tablet and I’m looking for the BEST Android games for long flights/travel/offline play.

About me:

• I love deep worldbuilding, systems, strategy, sci-fi/fantasy, survival, history, and philosophical vibes
• Big fan of games with atmosphere, progression, exploration, or “living world” feeling
• Prefer premium/high-quality experiences over shallow mobile gacha games
• I'm in to Football Manager, Crusader Kings but also Cyberpunk or oldschool Mario.
• Open to ports/emulators/indie gems
• Love games like Civilization, RimWorld vibes, Skyrim, Fallout, Pokémon, survival/base-building, management sims, weird cosmic stuff, etc.
• Tablet is huge, so games that REALLY shine on a big AMOLED screen are a plus
• Offline support is important because I travel/fly a lot

What are the absolute must-play Android games in 2026 for this kind of setup?

Especially interested in:

• I don't mind paying for a game.
• Deep strategy
• Colony/city builders
• Sci-fi/fantasy
• RPGs
• Atmospheric indie games
• Long-session games you can sink hours into on a plane
• But also am down for the best platformer or whatever you find enjoyable.

Bonus points if:

• controller support (probably will use my switch 2 pro controller for now)
• stylus support
• moddable
• battery efficient
• works great without internet

Would love hidden gems too, not just obvious Play Store stuff. :))

Hi there!

I want to watch some of the matches live, especially the matches of Japan.

Is there a list or do you guys have suggestions on where to watch?

Looking forward to your tips! Thanks in advance.

I hope this post is okay. I'm looking for some input. Anything really.

About a year ago my dad had a severe psychotic breakdown. Before that he was a completely functional person with a normal life and job. No history of these types of things.

During the psychosis he became extremely paranoid and believed people were following him. He tried to take his own life once because he thought he was “doing it for us.” We were there when it happened.

Later, while admitted to a psychiatric clinic, he tried again by swallowing a toothbrush to choke himself. After that there were hospital stays, therapy, psychiatrists, medication, the whole process.

Fast forward to now: he is technically doing better than before. His medication has been lowered somewhat, and he has even started doing parts of his old work again. But at the same time, he still feels very different from the person he used to be. That last part seems really normal to me. Things changed, he has experienced a lot of trauma.

There are many things he no longer does anymore. Emotionally he feels distant, flat, disconnected, and “off.” It is hard to explain.

What worries us most right now is that he barely responds to me or my brother anymore. He almost never answers calls or messages, and when he does, it is usually just emoticons or very short replies.

I live relatively close to him, while my brother does not. We saw him two months ago and he genuinely did not seem like himself at all. I understand recovery from psychosis can take a very long time, but we are becoming increasingly worried.

His wife is also not really helping much or communicating clearly with us, which makes the situation feel even more uncertain.

I guess I’m asking:

• Is this kind of emotional shutdown normal after severe psychosis? Shouldn't things go better? Even when he was still in the hospital and clinic, he did want to talk and call with me.
• Did anyone else experience a parent becoming emotionally absent or socially withdrawn after psychosis?
• At what point should we seriously intervene again?
• I feel like now we're at a point where he is regressing maybe instead of going forward.

Would really appreciate hearing from people who went through something similar.
