Loki was the boat builder in the Vikings show right?

There's no shame in getting a job as I've learned over this past year. I made $80 to basically listen to a phone call with my mic muted today.

My whole world and many opportunities have opened up for me since I picked up the phone and asked for help last year, and I still have my adult money coming in.

Your skills aren't immediately applicable to average everyday people (like math help I do sometimes, only good for $30-40k a year on a case by case basis).

Build a Udemy course, it would probably take some research and if you pushed you could probably make something in a couple weeks and end up with with several thousand dollars charging $50-150 for the course per student.

Something to think about. :2 cents:

I think it is exactly the opposite. He is good at marketing himself and his products. The problem is that his work is dated and he needs an overhaul in inventory. He even said himself he hasn't done anything new in years. Because of how quickly technology changes, the bar in this niche gets raised every 6 months and if you dont adapt and stay on top of it you get quickly passed by.

He should be focusing on selling other people's work and be a broker. There are so many people in Asia with amazing work. He could broker deals between them and US clients. While he is doing this, he can explore if he has the abilities and skill to compete with the other people that are making this type of content. If not, maybe his role is more of middle man since he knows people who want to buy this type of content.

I agree. Some of the dimensions are (I presume purposely) crazy, but amazing quality work from affect3d.

seth even if thor himself landed and tried to save loki hed tell him that everything thors going to do hes already tried and people just dont understand the situation hes in, its not him and his choices but instead everyone else thats fucked up and its all due to bad luck. no matter how you look at it loki cannot be saved from himself.

No that was Floki:

Though he obviously leans on the whole Loki character from the mythology.

Can't fap to any of this toon shit...what is this neckbeard porn?

Bump up the volume.

You can't help someone that has blamed anything and everything on someone else, something else and sincerely believes that all things, particularly those that go wrong are beyond his control.

The thing about people that rely on excuses and blame.... they never run out of excuses and blame. Someone that can put a wife and kids in this place and then say "nothing is ever my fault or my responsibility", going against every biological instinct one should have as a parent and provider is never going to help themselves.

The best thing that could ever happen to him is probably getting evicted. Hopefully, it will serve as a wake up call and if not, the stress will finally take its toll and the wife and kids will likely move on to someone better that can actually parent, actually provide and that is actually responsible and can give them what they need.

The worst thing that could happen for him and his family for the long term is that people give him money.

I sense problems with addiction.............................

To all the fans and supporters bumping thanks.

To all the not so fans, arm chair quarterbacks and straight up trolls thanks.....



This is going to be (hopefully lol) the last time I address a post like this in this thread...

1) I have not placed blame ANYWHERE, I ONLY have said, things happened outside of my control and my savings were lost, I'm sorry I do not feel the need to make my personal life and plights public, no one needs to know or would even care much about health issues of family & friends, car wreaks, fires, etc OR that I HELPED people out because I could and or they were direct family members or close friends.

Sure I take full blame on a lot of things, what baring does that have on me coming here saying "I need help, refuse hand outs so instead buy my content or my services?" I have asked no one NOR would I ask someone to "Give me money"

2) My wife and children are covered and always have been if anything was to ever happen, there is not enough room though for myself there so I would have to go elsewhere until I got back on track, there's NO blame there, but I guess some people could say it's my fault our backup plan for the wife and kids have too small of a house lol.


3) addiction... ONLY if you were privy to a time machine and went back 15 years my friend, I gave up all of that shit many years ago and never looked back, these days I have maybe a six pack of beer every few months, and a glass of Merlot on even rarer occasions. life is hard enough some times I don't feel the need to give up any of my faculties for a high or buzz.

-Loki-

You gave long winded explanations as to how nothing was your fault.

That was the single recurring theme in everything you've said and seemingly... in your life.

And though it will surely fall on deaf ears, its relevant because it is your own pattern of behavior and how you view the world which puts you here today. And its that same denial that blinds you to the fact that you can't be helped because your biggest problem is you.

There is no way to help a drug addict standing at an intersection begging for money by giving him $5.00. That is, in my view the most selfish thing anyone could do. It's a selfish, feel good gesture to make the individual feel good, not to help the junkie. If you want to help the junkie... you can't do anything until the junkie admits he is a junkie... and then sincerely wants help as he then takes responsibility for his situation, for his actions, for his behavior, for his denial and is ready to put in the work to get better.

Similarly, there is no way to help someone who feels that their every problem is because of someone else or something else. You cannot help someone that does not hold themselves accountable. You cannot help someone that feels everything is "beyond my control, and thats why i am in the spot i am in". You've done exactly what you wanted to do for over 10 years in this biz. You've targeted a very narrow niche because it was something you liked. You devoted yourself to producing, what by your own admission 10 years later (or more), is mediocre at best. You can't possibly pretend that you are just a super hard worker bent on being the best you can be.

At best, you did the bare minimum to get by all these years and now you are paying for it.

I don't know anyone that is a hard worker, that strives to be the best at what they do and that always goes above and beyond that has trouble finding work. I know plenty of affiliate reps that do a great job and have other programs offering them jobs all the time. If no one is beating down your door to snatch you up because you're a great talent.. then maybe you need to start asking "why do others see me as a bad investment"

Bump for long winded topic skimmers and long winded suspected tweekers.

why oh why can't I quit you lol.

I really hate playing justification theater but for whatever reason I am compelled to do so when people post the most inaccurate assumptions of me.

(And I really don't want this to be long winded....)

If you knew me, knew my personal life, the last things you would ever say or type about me is what you have, I am a damn hard worker, husband and parent and anyone who knows me or that I have done contract work for can attest to that (including those who hired me for this and that from this thread)

You claim I blame everyone for my setbacks and yet you have no clue what the setbacks were and I NEVER blamed anything or anyone, I ONLY said I lost money due to issues beyond my control (you call that blame)

Issues beyond your control can be, unexpected medical expenses, property damage, death in the family, overhead for business, bad market / investment etc etc none of those have "blame" placed on them.

When a loved one falls ill and insurance doesn't cover things that is out of your control, If lighting strikes ______ and destroys _______ that is out of your control, if someone close to you dies that is out of your control.

I'm not going to get into my personal life and explain WHAT issues happened it's really no one business, but I assure you they WERE out of my control.

NOT full of myself, OR trying to brag, but I and 4 other people created the niche, and IF it is in fact so narrow as you claim WHY do most companies have entire networks of sites in their programs backed by MY content and artists I brought into the industry? YES I liked it but more so I knew it would be something that would be very profitable, and it indeed was, is, and continues to be. (Guess that why CE and AMA just launched entire programs for 3D Toons)

YES YES YES my OLDER stuff is mediocre at best WHEN judged by today's standards. When it was created, sold, and used to make sites it WAS high quality for the times.

I've lost track of how many times I've said this, I STOPPED making content, I RETIRED from adult, and moved on.

Assumptions again, there was no "door" to beat down, I retired, I moved on, I contacted all of my clients and contract companies and informed them I was leaving AND that I would be available if they needed content or consulting or I could put them in contact with other artists when they needed content I did end up doing both mostly for free, but I was nowhere near able to take on any contracts.

As for me being a failure, never made money, can't make good content, can't market myself and whatever else has been thrown around, I thank you for teaching me GFY math...

Success + building a niche from nothing to something + retiring + launching a new company + 'Issues out of my control' + coming back to create new HD video content + holding a sale to get back into the black =

being a failure, never made money, can't make good content, can't market myself and whatever else has been thrown around.

So much for this not being long winded lol

-Loki-

The only measurement of success that anyone needs to know is that you, your wife and your children are being thrown out into the street because you can't pay your rent.

"Retired" typically means "I'm living on the money I've amassed".

Not

"I've quite my job with nothing saved up and no real income"

this thread sucks

And by the way, you created a thread announcing you, your wife and your children were going to be evicted in a matter of hours. Not days, not weeks, not in a month or two. You simply don't have an argument that you have your shit together. It's not like you got laid off from your executive position at Chevron right after spending every cent to relocate, buy a house etc. in a new state or country.

I think I love you :1orglaugh

Now let's just have fun, cause it's obvious you are having fun here, This story is NOT meant to reflect me, but I'd love to prove a point.

A executive, who managed to save say $60k - $80k retires from one job and creates a start up.

Over the course of a year he's almost doubled the savings so he now has $80k - $120k in savings.

now lets say he put $18k into the start up and it will take at least a year or two before a return on that is seen, and meanwhile he also pays out $40k in medical bills, $30k for a loved ones home, $20k in various repairs, upgrades, $20k here, $10k there, and all of the sudden the savings are gone.

Did He quit his job with no savings?

Was he a failure?

Should his wife and kids leave him?

Should he give up and go work at Mc Donalds?

Was he lazy and not a hard worker?

Knowing the situation above your answers would almost certainly be NO to all above.

Why then when you don't know the situation are these your go-to's?

No matter how high you are, you can fall, no matter how rich you are you could loose it all, no matter how great your job is it could be gone tomorrow, doesn't change what you achieved prior to any of it happening ;)

-Loki-

Why the fuck are you clowning around on GFY if you are about to get kicked out of your home, and disconnected from the internet?

Ohh wait, I know - you have "almost" closed several deals due to this brilliant marketing scheme.. right? Now hurry up and pay those bill with your "almost" income.

Loki,

You put your wife and children on the street. End of story. In doing so, you have yet to say "I've done this", "this is my fault" or "I am 100% responsible for where I am at and what I've caused to happen to my family". A bunch of insane rambling about "retiring" doesn't exactly help your cause.

Children at least, deserve better.

Sorry I tried to interject humor into that post, but it was better then the straight up anger I've gotten when checking this thread now and then.

many here seem to have become "Loki Experts" and have their own assumptions, ideas, and know every aspect of my life even though they have never met me and want to make them gospel facts.

I've tried like hell to ignore those posts BUT after being in this business as long as I have been, and carefully building the rep of being honest and a hard worker who knows his stuff, I have a VERY hard time allowing someone to shit talk me and my family the way some of these posters have done so I reply, and reply and reply.

This was the farthest from a "brilliant marketing scheme" anyone who does that type of shit is someone I never ever hope to become, that's low plain and simple.

As I have said before in this thread people do not know my personal life, and unless YOU do business with me you do not know my business life, I did not make hour by hour updates here to jobs gotten, money paid etc etc. But I talked to a friend of mine and he agrees I should post an update.

Late yesterday afternoon I covered the internet/phone bill in full.

With the side jobs I took on and the deposits collected already I was also able to SHOW our landlord that money was coming in and I got another 2 days from him to raise up a minimum of 1 months rent to halt the eviction papers being filed for another 30 days.

As you said, I'm closing on multiple content sales this evening and tomorrow and when those deposits clear we will be almost 100% caught up on the rent and not have to worry about an eviction any time soon.

I only say "Almost" because right this moment only 1 of the content sales is 100% cemented, the rest are not "real" until the money clears.

And as for posting here now in the first place, not much else to do this second while waiting for people to look over work I've turned in and give me changes or "Looks Great"

-Loki-

NOT trying to make a joke here, but reading that post now we are already on the street???

I can not and will not take blame on things that have no blame, I honestly can not understand why you can't get that through your head.

If a loved one dies how the fuck are you to blame?

If a close family member needs help how are you to blame?

or are you one of those people who if you left the house and got hit by a car crossing the street as you lay in the hospital you'd say "Well it's my fault for leaving the house"

sometimes shit just happens, out of your control, you could save up tons of money and it only takes ONE mind fuck from above and POOF it's gone.

If you had a child, who had serious medical issues and you spent your last dime to get her help do you then need to blame yourself when the money is gone for making sure your child was healthy again?

NOT my case, my kids are fine thankfully, but I'm just curious where the hell you stop assuming someone must be to BLAME for their situations, sometimes shit happens lol.

It's not bad luck, karma, fate, destiny or anything else, life is just full of struggles, some small some huge, not every single thing that happens in a person's life can have blame attached back to the person.

and please ENOUGH of the retired stuff, you don't know me or what my cash situation was, only my clients, family, friends, H&R Block, and the IRS know what I made. When I say I retired from Adult to move on to other things it means just that, I retired from adult and moved on. I never claimed to have hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions, I had enough savings to leave, take a vacation with my family and cover all bills for the transition time of my new ventures AND had enough in case of emergencies (but no matter how much you plan unexpected things CAN happen)

I'll agree, IF I was here saying "I retired from adult." (and nothing more) I'd welcome people calling me crazy, irresponsible, bad parent, provider and husband with the current situation.

BUT

ALL I have said over and over is: "I retired from adult to move on to other things" MEANING I STILL WORKED, Retire can mean stop working altogether, leave one industry and move to another, it's all contextual and I have never implied I was so well off I stopped working and put my family in danger as many love to imply.

-Loki-

I'm just going to stop posting in this thread, as hard as it might be,

anyone really reading my posts will understand what I've said, and where I was coming from. People who know me or have worked with me know the truth, that's all that matters.

I thank everyone who hired me for grunt work and design work, inquired about older content and future content packages, those who contacted me off the board, re-connected with me etc etc.

For those who offered suggestions on and off the board I thank you, many of them were already in play before this hurdle hit, others will be looked at and implemented if beneficial. (johnnyloadproductions I'd like to get with you about that course idea to learn more as I am not 100% sure what you meant by it to be honest.

To all my clients past present and future, as I've told some of you in private and now all in public, I came back a few weeks ago for the purpose of "Getting the band back together" as they say, THEN the hurdle happened, Once this hurdle is cleared I will have artists from various niches producing HD video content in the coming months. what we did in the mid 2000's with the photo content for programs and affiliates we will do again with the video content you have screamed for and your members scream for.

I'm going to try my best not to reply to this thread anymore so if you need to contact me about this thread, or you want content or grunt work please contact me via skype or email.

I donèt know you LOKI, but here is a one cent advice:


Stop posting here and instead go find a fucking job ... anywhere .. even minimum salary ...

Then you can go up, instead of down as you are doing now.

here is 2 cents: :2 cents:

I was going to send you a few hundred but Squealer is right. I would only be hurting you so I'm deciding against it.

Good luck Loki, hope you sort everything out.

Lol,you and some people sound like posting for help on gfy is biggest possible disgrace in life lol.
Loki unlike some people,offer a service in exchange for money,not just asking for plain donations.

I don't get the kick him while he is down mentality.

Sure it is fun to pile onto someone but this isn't one of those instances.

If you got something he can work on for you shoot it over. If you don't, just bump for views.

We've all had low periods. 7 years ago they were serving out an eviction while I still laid in the hospital. Also took my car.

Once I got out I setup some temporary quarters as my dad's and went straight to working putting my life back together. Restarted and was out of Dads before the three month mark. What enabled me to move on so quickly was finding someone that desperately needed what I had to offer. Years since have been my best.

That is where he is or will be. He will pull through it, but if you any use of his services he is happy discount.

I took an ambien a half hour ago so if this doesn't make sense that is why.

This here :thumbsup

.

Thats the thing epitome, this dumb-ass isn't looking for legitimate clients but rather a handout and he's fucked up every opportunity he's been given and blamed a million other reasons for the failure besides himself. Don't feed this troll -let it die...

Where do I say that he is asking for donation ???

Obviously, he is not successfull , so I am saying to him to go work instead of continuing the sinking process .... he wont be the first or the last to do that ...

Now, if we were talking about No-Carrier, that would be a different story :2 cents:

Sorry man, when you're getting thrown out of your house and you have little kids. They answer to this question is YES. You should be taking that job at McDonald's.

And doesn't Social Services provide emergency funds to pay rent, electric and food because you have young children? Did you even bother to check into that sort of option, or has pride gotten the best of you? I would think not, as you did post this thread here knowing full well the type of response you'd get.

Come on man. You're still in this thread trying to justify your actions? Get with it. Get a fucking job and keep your kids off the street.

This is just it. You understood you need to do the work, you understood that you put yourself where you were, you understood that you needed to suck it up and work to get out of it and start putting together a long term plan... to make sure you never ended up in that place again.

You didn't just sit around with one hard luck story after another talking about how nothing is your fault.

You seemed to understand that the simple fact is, everything is our fault. If you are "down on your luck" and people are not scrambling to give you a job because you're an awesome worker, because you do a great job, because you are always on time, because you always do what you said you'd do etc... then its YOUR FAULT. If you produce something for a living and no one wants to buy it.. its your fault. etc ... etc... etc...

This.... this... is not that.


We are talking about a person who was quite happy to do nothing with his life, had frequent sales coupled with hard luck tales and who, if memory serves, started in this biz as an adult living with his mother. 10+ years later, he's still got nothing but sad tales about how the world is against him. That in itself is ... whatever. The world needs ditch diggers. However, when you have a wife and children and you are telling everyone that your non-attempts at success and your failures are not your fault, that you're being evicted and thrown out on the street and its not your fault, that you're broke with a family to feed and its not your fault and you are an able bodied person who is and always has been capable of work.. then you are a burden to society and your family would be better off leaving you behind so they can at least have a chance at a decent life filled with a better parent and role model - than the guy who has nothing but excuses.

Personally, it was amusing that he came here yet again with a sad tale... i had no clue he had kids. When a person has kids and they aren't ready to do anything and everything to take care of them and give them a home.. they are garbage.

This is why i am saying there seems to be some addiction issues here. This behavior is too illogical, too defensive (denying accountability for anything before anyone even asked a question) and too inconsistent and too nutty for there not to be a lot more to the story. His behavior, and what is a clear inability to accept personal responsibility as well as the total lack of remorse for the fact that he put his family on the street highly suggests he's an addict.... that would be the better scenario. Otherwise, that leaves us with sociopath among other things - though sociopaths are typically much more clever and better at manipulating others. Addicts live in denial. Addicts live in a lie. Addicts almost never accept responsibility for their actions. Addicts have little remorse for, much less any real understanding of the chaos they cause. Addicts care very little about how their actions affect others. Addicts would have little remorse for how their actions and behavior affects their children. All these things are quite present and prominent in everything he says.


The thing is... there are countless dozens of people on this board who have fell on hard times over the years and people bent over backwards to give them a job right then and there. Minutes after posting. This guy still doesn't get why no one will do that for him and blames the rest of the world for it. Thats why he CANNOT BE HELPED.

Actually he isnt looking for a handout if you read the thread. Someone wanted to just send him some money he said no. Let me provide you something for it.

Well maybe you didn't said it,but you surely sound like this is classic donation thread.

I am Giving him a Shot. Had a good Convo over skype and Quick, really quality work. I didnt know him before this but glad i know him now.

If I were about to have everything shut off and my toddlers were about to be put on the street. I'm taking WHATEVER is offered.

If you're not a parent, you aren't going to understand this. If you are a parent, you will likely agree with me.

Time to get a real job and stop thinking GFY idiots are here to help.

Best of Luck Loki !
I hope you soon will be able to step on your feet and do your thing !
Bump !

I understand. I also wouldnt of waited til I was about to fall off of a cliff personally.

:thumbsup PIRIOD. /Thread.

:thumbsup Very nice Devin!

me too. Would never forget that feeling.
good luck loky and get back on the feet soon.:winkwink:

Bump for trools that think only drug addicts are at risk of eviction or foreclosure and that somehow having money and employment magically prevents hardships from happening.

He's had hardships since the day he joined this board 10 years ago.

Some people just need to grow up.

Well...that's a completely different story, but yeah...no shit, right? :thumbsup
