I’m not a native english speaker so sorry in advance if this post contains any grammatical errors. I’m neither a doctoresearcher or a science guy so I’ll try to alway provide some reference but be aware that the information that follows may be misinterpreted or simply not correct.
The aim of this post is to understand what is the consensus and the consolidated evidence on PE, and what information we should expect from a clinician/doctor (so you probably won’t find any new therapy you have never heard of). I’m curious and wanted to know a little bit more about this topic since I think there is a lot of misinformation and common beliefs that are rooted but are not backed up by any scientific evidence and even doctors/clinician sometimes are not educated enough on the topic to provide any actual help.Don’t expect anything super well summarised, this is going to be more of a copy and paste work.
Following the [Hierarchy of Evidence](https://www.researchsquare.com/blog/what-is-the-hierarchy-of-evidence) in medical research meta-analysis, systematic reviews and practice guidelines provide the highest quality of evidence, I focused on the guidelines because I think that are more practical and have more reach to doctors/clinician that are not expert in the field.
I found the ISSM’s (International Society of Sexual Medicine) [guidelines](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4184677/) to be the most complete guidelines on the topic. The International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) is a medical society devoted to the study of the medicine of human sexuality. It publishes two journals, The Journal of Sexual Medicine (where the guidelines were published, IF for 2022-2023 is 3.9), and the open-access Sexual Medicine Reviews. The last update of the guidelines I found is from 2013/2014, American Urology Association has its own [guidelines](https://www.auanet.org/guidelines-and-quality/guidelines/disorders-of-ejaculation) updated in 2020, they are not specifically focused on just PE but on Disorders of Ejaculation, mainly PE and DE (Delayed Ejaculation). The AUA’s guidelines focus mainly on the management of the patient and the pharmacotherapy and don’t give many indications about the main theories on PE’s causes.
#Definition from ISSM
The panel proposed a unified definition of LPE (Long Term PE) and APE (Acquired PE):
It “is a male sexual dysfunction characterized by:
>- ejaculation that always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about 1 minute of vaginal penetration from the first sexual experience (LPE), OR a clinically significant reduction in latency time, often to about 3 minutes or less (acquired premature ejaculation);
>- the inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all vaginal penetrations; and
>- negative personal consequences, such as distress, bother, frustration, and/or the avoidance of sexual intimacy.”
It also identify additional subtypes: VPE (Variable PE) that occurs irregularly and inconsistently and SPE (Subjective PE) a subjective perception of PE but with the IELT in the “normal range” (so a IELT >= 3 mins, the median IELTs from 2 studies is [5.4](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16422843/) minutes and [6](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19627471/) minutes respectively).
The estimated prevalence of APE and LPE is around 5%, the prevalence of VPE and SPE is higher but these definitions are relatively new so there isn’t a lot of data.
#Etiology (form ISSM’s guidelines)
I start by saying that of all the biological factors that have been proposed to explain PE, none has been confirmed in large scale studies, nonetheless some studies are really interesting.

1. Hypersensitivity of the Glans -> in a small [study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9224321/) was found that patient with PE have hypersensitivity and hyperexcitability of the glans via performing somatosensory evoked potentials (brain responses to sensory stimuli). A similar [study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20137494/) not cited in ISSM’s Guidelines is Zhang 2009 that found in a small cohort that patients with PE have on average a higher number of dorsal penile nerve branches.
2. Disturbances in central serotonergic neurotransmission -> We know that Serotonin is the main neurotransmitter involved in the control of ejaculation, but in humans specific subtypes of 5-HT (serotonin) receptors involved in PE have not yet been identified. SSRIs work but SSRIs treatment activates many different postsynaptic subtype receptors so we don’t know specifically how it works. In the spinal cord, specific neurons have been found to be essential to ejaculatory reflex in rats and there is also preliminary evidence that such a neural organisation also exists in humans.
3. Genetics of PE -> Some studies have investigated gene polymorphism of receptors of serotonin and oxytocin. Results of the studies are mixed, men with some genetic variants may be predisposed to develop PE but more studies are needed.
4. Hormones imbalances -> Hyperthyroidism has no role in LPE and has been found to be associated with APW in extremely few patients. Recent studies on large population indicate that the endocrine system is involved in the control of ejaculatory function: prolactin in the lowest quartile levels is associated with APE and anxiety symptoms and higher testosterone levels aìcorrelate with PE, while lower androgenization is related to delayed ejaculation. Anyway the guidelines state that both low PRL and relatively high testosterone levels cannot be considered etiologies of PE.
5. Prostatitis -> Prostatic inflammation and chronic bacterial prostatitis have been reported as common findings in men with APE. For the guidelines though there is insufficient evidence to support routine screening of men with PE for this condition.
6. Erectile dysfunction -> For the guidelines ED is unlikely as a comorbidity or etiological factor for LPE, there is data to support that APE is associated with PE.
7. Psychological factors -> there has been limited research on causality; most studies can only report association. It is plausible that psychological factors may lead to PE or vice versa, it is likely that for many men the relationship is reciprocal with either PE or the other factor causing exacerbation of the other.

#Psychological/Behavioral interventions
There is not much to say on this topic, well designed studies on behavioural interventions are scarce, apart from the squeeze/start-stop technique other interventions are correct breathing and relaxation of the muscles to control excitement (discussed a lot in this community).
#Pharmacological Treatment (from ISSM guidelines)

• **Dapoxetine**: it is a rapid acting and short half-life SSRI with a pharmacokinetic profile supporting a role as an on demand treatment for PE. In randomised controlled trials, dapoxetine 30mg or 60mg taken 1-2 hours before intercourse is more effective than placebo from the first dose resulting in a 2.5 and 3.0 fold increase in IELT. Treatment-related side effects were uncommon, dose dependent and included nausea, diarrhoea, headache and dizziness: they were responsible for study discontinuation in 4% (30mg) and 10% (60mg) of subjects.
• **Off-Label SSRIs and TCAs**: Daily treatment with off-label paroxetine 10-40 mg, clomipramine 12.5-50 mg, sertraline 50-200 mg, fluoxetine 20.40 mg and citalopram 20.40 mg is usually effective in delaying ejaculation. A meta-analysis of published data suggests that paroxetine exerts the strongest ejaculation delay, increasing IELT approximately 8.8-fold over baseline. SSRIs should be avoided in men with a history of bipolar depression.
• **Topical Local Anesthetics**: lidocaine and/or prilocaine as a cream, gel, or spray is well established and is moderately effective in delaying ejaculation, data suggest that diminishing the glans sensitivity may inhibit the spinal reflex that are responsible for ejaculation. PSD502 (Fortacin in Europe) , a lidocaine-prilocaine spray applied 5 minutes before intercourse is associated with a 6.3-fold increase in IELT. There were minimal reports of penile hypoanesthesia and transfer to the partner due to the unique formulation of the compound.
• **PDE5i**: SIldenafil, Tadalafil, Vardenafil, are effective treatments for ED, there is some evidence to support the efficacy and safety of off-label on demand or daily dosing of PDE5i in the treatment of LPE in men with normal erectile function but further evidence based research is encouraged to understand conflicting data.

#Other pharmacological treatments

• **Tramadol**: Tramadol has been investigated as a potential off.label therapy for PE, with several studies demonstrating efficacy, the mechanism of action is not completely understood. It may be considered when other therapies have failed because of the risk of addiction and side effects.
• **Oxytocin**: Intraventricular administration of oxytocin antagonist inhibits sexual behaviour in animal studies, however in one human study, an oxytocin antagonist failed to clinically or statistically improve IELT, further human studies are necessary.
• **Alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists**: not mentioned in ISSM’s guidelines but in the AUA’s. There are not good quality studies on these drugs, Silodosin seems the most effective one. From AUA

#Other treatments

• **Cryoablation and Neuromodulation of the Dorsal Penile Nerve**: invasive and irreversible procedure, which is associated with an increase in the IELT. However, safety of this treatment modality needs to be determined before this procedure can be recommended for treating patients.
• **Intracavernosal Injection for PE**: There is limited evidence regarding the efficacy of intracavernosal vasoactive drug injection for the treatment of PE.
• **Injections with hyaluronic acid in the glans**: a study cited by AUA found a 2.6 fold increase vs 1.1 placebo in ELT, AUA recommends that surgical intervention for PE only to be considered in the context of ethical board approved trial for patients who have failed or cannot tolerate alternative management strategies for PE.

#Preclinical studies for PE
Several agents have been studied in animal models for treating PE:

• a potent SSRI (**DA-8031**) significantly inhibited ejaculation in rat models. There are some human studies after 2013 (so after the publication of the guidelines) but I can’t understand in which phase the drug is and if the possible therapy with this SSRI is on-demand or not and the drug is not mentioned in AUA’s guidelines and I don’t understand why.
• **Modafinil**, used in the treatment of narcolepsy, produced significant delay in ejaculation in rat models. Can’t find a lot of studies after 2013, in the AUA’s guidelines form 2020 it’s reported that in an uncontrolled pilot study of on-demand modafinil it’s reported a modest but significant two-fold increase in IELT.
• Injection of **botulinum toxin** in the bulbospongiosus muscle, from AUA’s guidelines: the toxin that blocks neural transmission when injected into the muscle. But studies for PE were discontinued due to lack of efficacy in interim analysis.

**Oxytocin antagonists** (from AUA’s guidelines): Cligosoban is a oxytocin receptor antagonist that in a RCT double blind trial showed statistically significant effect of LPE men (3.6 fold increase in ELT vs 1.8 for placebo).

Further study and potentially development of agents with different distribution is required to determine if these therapies will have a role in PE management in the future.

Greetings Guardians!
Ever since the conception of this sub, we've dealt with floods of reposts. We’re sure you’re familiar with them. Many are for important issues that are shared by the entire player base, while others are just for personal requests and desires for the game. The Bungie Plz was shortly implemented after conception as a central "wish-list" for all that we, the community, desired. It is completely user driven. With rare exceptions, nearly all submissions are sent in by you, the users of this subreddit!
However, just like Destiny 2, our wiki article began to experience problems as it grew over time. It's been getting just a few sizes too big. We understand that the continued addition of topics has begun to encroach on your ability to continue the conversation towards matters that mean the most to you, and even though the Bungie Plz has seen so many successes over the years, with well over 100 officially implemented game suggestions and desires, there's still dozens upon dozens of retired topics that haven't seen the light of day for many months...even years!
Every Sunday, this thread will focus on a certain retired Bungie Plz topic of your choosing, voted by the users. We will curate a list of 5 suggestions to help focus your voting process, but you get the final say on what is talked about each week. By all means, if one topic is overwhelmingly desired despite not being part of those 5 items we picked, then we'll be happy to go with that one. Our curated list is only to help you focus the conversation. The only stipulation is that the topic must be new every week. This thread is for the entirety of the Bungie Plz wiki, so no back-to-back voting!
Think of these threads as a way to keep the spark alive, and to bring old topics up to fresh light. For example, do we still want to move Queenbreaker to the special slot? Or does Arbalest serve that purpose well enough now? Do we still want an all-black shader, or do we want to bring back Prismatic Matrix?
You tell us! This is your conversation, guardians.
For this week, you voted on:

Give us a way to unlock previous season's cosmetics (shaders, ornaments, etc.), and/or level previous season passes

For next week, here are some suggestions:

• Make all bounty progression shared across fireteams
• An exotic that allows Sunbreaker Titans to summon their throwing hammer back to their hand
• Add a directional marker to the HUD
• Give us an all black (Superblack) shader
• Make the Mobility Stat BetteMore Worthwhile

Sound off in the sticky comment for which one sounds good, or anything else in the Bungie Plz wiki that catches your eye, and we'll do our best to accommodate!
You can find the full Daily Thread schedule here.

A father petitioned for custody of his child. The child was in danger in mom's custody, the authorities were aware of this danger, but they denied dad's petition for custody. The child later died in mom's custody.
Here is my response in the hopes that it will help families who face injustices, and in the hopes that it will help parents to protect their children from child abuse.
I'm not an attorney and this is not legal advice.
You wrote about a father who wanted custody of his child, the child was in danger in mom's custody, the authorities were aware of this danger, and denied dad custody. The child later died in mom's custody. (Anonymized)
Judges often have judicial immunity for their decisions.

JUDICIAL IMMUNITY HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE JUDGES, TRADITIONAL QUASI-JUDICIAL INDIVIDUALS, AND SOME COURT-RELATED PERSONNEL, SUCH AS COURT CLERKS AND COURT REPORTERS
VARIOUS TYPES OF ACTS ARE NO LONGER RECOGNIZED AS JUDICIAL CONDUCT WITHIN THE PROTECTION OF IMMUNITY: (1) ACTS SHOWING LACK OF GOOD FAITH; (2) ACTS CRIMINAL IN NATURE; (3) ACTS IN ABSENCE OF AUTHORITY OR IN EXCESS OF JURISDICTION; AND (4) ACTS OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE OR MINISTERIAL NATURE.
OVERVIEW OF JUDICIAL IMMUNITY US Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/overview-judicial-immunity

It is often the case that judges rely on Title IV-D funded child support agency to exercise judicial authority to make custody recommendations. (They sometimes literally give the agencies rubber stamps and allow them to make orders).
Sometimes these agencies focus on their own financial interests or have sexist biases which can impact their recommendations and decisions.

Making child custody recommendations using these biases rather than the factors mandated by law knowingly or through negligence may be possible:

Fraud
Fraud is both a civil tort and criminal wrong.
In civil litigation, allegations of fraud might be based on a misrepresentation of fact that was either intentional or negligent. For a statement to be an intentional misrepresentation, the person who made it must either have known the statement was false or been as to its truth. The speaker must have also intended that the person to whom the statement was made would rely on it. The hearer must then have reasonably relied on the promise and also been harmed because of that reliance.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fraud

Intentionally endangering the life of a child through fraud may be depraved indifference.

To constitute depraved indifference, the defendant's conduct must be 'so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime.
https://definitions.uslegal.com/d/depraved-indifference/

Fraud or other felonies which cause the death of victim may be:

As of August 2008, 46 states in the United States had a felony murder rule,[18] under which felony murder is generally first-degree murder. In 24 of those states, it is a capital offense.[19] When the government seeks to impose the death penalty on someone convicted of felony murder, the Eighth Amendment has been interpreted so as to impose additional limitations on the state power. The death penalty may not be imposed if the defendant is merely a minor participant and did not actually kill or intend to kill. However, the death penalty may be imposed if the defendant is a major participant in the underlying felony and exhibits extreme indifference to human life.[20]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_murder_rule#United_States

Please note there is no statue of limitations on the crime of felony murder.
A social worker worker who may have knowingly or negligently manufactured a false child custody recommendation may be abusing that child. In so doing they are failing to report their own abuse, or if they are aware of it, the abuse of their coworkers, a crime.

A person who, while engaged in a professional capacity or activity described in subsection (b) of section 226 of the Victims of Child Abuse Act of 1990 on Federal land or in a federally operated (or contracted) facility, or a covered individual as described in subsection (a)(2) of such section 226 who, learns of facts that give reason to suspect that a child has suffered an incident of child abuse, as defined in subsection (c) of that section, and fails to make a timely report as required by subsection (a) of that section, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 1 year or both.
18 U.S. Code § 2258.Failure to report child abuse
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2258

The United States pays for the child support agencies under Title IV-D and that law requires protection of civil rights, including the rights of parents. Denying them those rights to get more federal funds is possibly defrauding the United States:

If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/371

If they are knowingly or negligently defrauding the public and the United States, it is also possible honest services fraud:

For the purposes of this chapter, the term “scheme or artifice to defraud” includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services.

Possible criminal conspiracy against rights:

"If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or"

Possible basis of a class action lawsuit for similar situated people:

WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF CLASS-ACTION LAWSUITS?
There are many cases and issues that can be brought as class-action lawsuits. Often, class actions fall into one of the following categories:
...

All parents who pary for any services, including recommendation services, parenting classes, etc which are offered under the deceptive pretext of allowing a parent worried about their abused child to enable them to have more time or custody with them in order to protect them, could form a class action lawsuit.

Consumer: These class actions hold accountable business entities who engage in systematic and fraudulent or illegal business practices that scam or harm the consumer. Examples include antitrust cases like price-fixing, market allocation agreements and monopolistic schemes.

All individuals denied employment, promotion, or who simply quits in disgust because their moral beliefs prevent them from participating in any deceptive acts or crimes could form a class action lawsuit.

Employment: Employees who have been discriminated against, employees with immigrant worker issues, workers who have hour and wage issues and employees who have on-the-job injuries or suffer because of employer safety violations can bring class-action lawsuits against employers.
https://www.hbsslaw.com/about/what-is-a-class-action-lawsuit

All parents and children who suffer as a consequence of deceptive acts or crimes could form a class action lawsuit:

CIVIL RIGHTS CLASS ACTIONS:
A SINGULARLY EFFECTIVE TOOL TO COMBAT DISCRIMINATION
For over 50 years, class actions have been among the most powerful tools to secure civil rights in America. Brown v. Board of Education, 1 which outlawed school segregation and set the stage for the entire civil rights movement, was a class action lawsuit. More recent examples include the case portrayed in the Hollywood movie “North Country,” based on the case Jenson v. Eveleth Mines and considered to be the first sexual harassment class action lawsuit.

I wish you the best of luck in your search for justice.

First, the shittiest part about all this is having to do World Tour because it takes a while to get through it. A rough estimate is about 12 hours to get through the story. You want to get through the story because certain things like Masters (the characters you train under) are locked behind story progression.
1st part: get through a majority of the story (I got to chapter 15). I'd recommend using a guide because sometimes the missions want you to get creative with solutions and it just wastes time. There are 15 chapters.
IGN has a good guide: https://www.ign.com/wikis/street-fighter-6/World_Tour_Walkthrough
2nd part: How do you actually get the costumes? You have to max out your master's bond and you do this by giving them gifts. You can buy gifts from vendors so what you're grinding for is money and it does not take long to grind for money. Some of the masters you get through story missions and some you have to do side missions for (they're optional, like Cammy). The side missions are easy to do and not complicated at all.
guide on how to get masters: https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2023/jun/02/master-location-sf6-world-tou
Once you got the master then begins the money grind. Guide on how to get money easily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYh00Yey2Eg
tips: for this mini game you can equip Chun's lightning legs which you get from her after leveling up her style rank (level 10 iirc). You level up style ranks by using a character's style as you play. Go to your phone > Status > Gear > (style at the top) to switch styles. After you have her lightning legs, switch to modern controls because you're gonna be spamming it for the mini game and modern controls is easy mode. Also use a level 1 to break the cars more easily (I used Luke's lvl 1).
After you got the money you have to buy gifts. Each master has a favorite gift and these gifts give big boosts to masters' bonds so you want to buy the appropriate gifts for each character, but there is a more money efficient way for certain characters (like Cammy, Juri, Ken, Chun, the list is in the comments of the linked vid). For this group you can buy prepaid cards. You max out a bond by reaching 100 bond level. Each favorite gift gives 5 levels, the prepaid cards give 2 levels. So 20 favorite gifts or 50 prepaid cards to reach 100.

Guide on where to buy the prepaid cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYLaqMGCVn0
This may seem like a lot, but I think it's worth going through World Tour mode because holy shit did Capcom really put some effort into it. Yeah it's a grindy RPG, but the cutscene intros for the characters and how the stages you play on are incorporated into World Tour give you a cool perspective into SF6.

Welcome to the /GoPro Weekly Questions thread!
This is the place where everyone, beginner or advanced, should ask your general GoPro related questions, or ask for help troubleshooting! We encourage you to post here rather than make your own thread, as this is a great place for us veteran users to answer your questions regularly, it minimizes basic question clutter on the main page, and allows users with discussion threads to stay on the front page longer before getting bumped off over time.
A couple notes before you get started here-

1. We have community rules, and everyone needs to follow them. Please take some time to read through them and their descriptions, and if you have any questions, just PM the moderators!
2. Remember to make your BEST effort to find the answer before asking. Read your manuals (link below), and use the search function and google to at least get yourself started. Asking to be "spoon fed" simple answers that can easily be found by googling will often get you a short comment, so make your best effort and share what you've found so far if you can't find the answer!
3. If you have a problem, don't just describe it... SHOW US! Telling us you have some "blur" in your image could be ANY number of things, but showing us might help us figure it out for you quickly and easily. Upload some samples to youtube or imgur!
4. This is a user-run community, and is not staffed by GoPro. We can make recommendations and share tips, but we can't resolve shipping and order issues, and for things of that nature you need to contact support!

Hello all,
​
In an effort to mitigate the amount of repetitive questions that have been asked recently, we have set up this thread as a reminder on how certain things in the game works. As of now, this reminder is planned to be posted weekly for visibility.
​
0. FAQ Wiki Page
​

• There is both a FAQ and general guide page on this subreddit, please read through those resources before asking a question as it may already be addressed there.
  • FAQ
  • General Guide

​
1. Monthly Challenges
​

• This is a system separate from the regular song challenges that require you to score 10k higher than your max score (6.2m being the cap)
• They are MONTHLY score targets you need to reach to obtain various tiers of rewards. The more you complete the more rewards you get.
  • Progress and reward tiers can be found via: Song Select > Bottom Left where WMR is > Check Challenge Success Reward
• MONTHLY challenge scores and progress will be reset MONTHLY. If you obtain 201 challenge success in the last day of February, it will be reset to 0 in the following first day of March. Your original high scores for each song will not reset.
• Rewards will be in your inbox following the completion of the first game maintenance of the month
• If you see that your monthly challenge success progress has been "reset" when it is not supposed to, restart your game as it's a visual glitch.

​
2. Artist/Group Tickets
​

• Artist Ticket - Select a group = random card from that group
  • Select miss A = one random card for either Suzy, Min, or Fei
  • Select DAY6 = one random card for either Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil or Dowoon
• Group ticket - Select a group = random card for each member in that group
  • Select miss A = random card for Suzy, Min and Fei
  • Select DAY6 = random card for Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil and Dowoon
• All Group Tickets are currently not obtainable by any means
• Only A/S/R Artist Tickets can be obtained, C and B are not obtainable by any means
  • A/S/R Artist Tickets can be obtained from monthly challenge rewards
  • R Artist Tickets can be obtained from world record rewards

​
3. Account Related Concerns
​

• ALWAYS have your account linked/bound to any of the services that are available to you -- their (Dalcomsoft) servers, Google, Facebook, etc.
  • Linking current account to a service does not erase current game data; it does the exact opposite. It ensures that your game progress will be saved at all times. If you get a new device, simply use that same login info and your account will be loaded.

4. Shortest Song(s)/What song(s) to Grind/What songs are easy to FSP
​

• There is a song stats spreadsheet resource that is still updated to date which has all information on songs from their length to recommended for FSP or not. Please utilize this resource instead of making a separate post that otherwise has no basis to it.

5. Powering Up/Rating Up tips
​

• There are recommendations provided in the general guide for what material cards to use at which grade. Further, there is a separate spreadsheet that lists out the % of success of your material card if used on your card of choice. Please utilize this resource instead of making a separate post.

Hello all,
​
In an effort to mitigate the amount of repetitive questions that have been asked recently, we have set up this thread as a reminder on how certain things in the game works. As of now, this reminder is planned to be posted weekly for visibility.
​
0. FAQ Wiki Page
​

• There is both a FAQ and general guide page on this subreddit, please read through those resources before asking a question as it may already be addressed there.
  • FAQ
  • General Guide

​
1. Monthly Challenges
​

• This is a system separate from the regular song challenges that require you to score 10k higher than your max score (6.2m being the cap)
• They are MONTHLY score targets you need to reach to obtain various tiers of rewards. The more you complete the more rewards you get.
  • Progress and reward tiers can be found via: Song Select > Bottom Left where WMR is > Check Challenge Success Reward
• MONTHLY challenge scores and progress will be reset MONTHLY. If you obtain 201 challenge success in the last day of February, it will be reset to 0 in the following first day of March. Your original high scores for each song will not reset.
• Rewards will be in your inbox following the completion of the first game maintenance of the month
• If you see that your monthly challenge success progress has been "reset" when it is not supposed to, restart your game as it's a visual glitch.

​
2. Artist/Group Tickets
​

• Artist Ticket - Select a group = random card from that group
  • Select EXO-M = one random card for either Xiumin, Lay or Chen
  • Select Red Velvet = one random card for either Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy or Yeri
• Group ticket - Select a group = random card for each member in that group
  • Select EXO-M = random card for Xiumin, Lay and Chen
  • Select Red Velvet = random card for Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy or Yeri
• All Group Tickets are currently not obtainable by any means
• Only A/S/R Artist Tickets can be obtained, C and B are not obtainable by any means
  • A/S/R Artist Tickets can be obtained from monthly challenge rewards
  • R Artist Tickets can be obtained from world record rewards
• The exchange rate of ticket:cards is not 1:1. 20/10/5/3/1 tickets are required for each S/A/B/C card, respectively.

​
3. Account Related Concerns
​

• ALWAYS have your account linked/bound to any of the services that are available to you -- Dalcom ID, Google, Facebook, etc.
  • Linking current account to a service does not erase current game data; it does the exact opposite. It ensures that your game progress will be saved at all times. If you get a new device, simply use that same login info and your account will be loaded.
• If you wish to attempt restoring your account, please do not post any account details here as no one here can assist you with it.
• If you have issues with Dalcom ID, please try reading through this thread
• Please email [email protected] instead. In order to expedite the process, be as concise as possible in your initial email to them such as providing: account email (if not a guest account), in-game purchase receipts (if applicable), IGN, in-game profile picture, current league ranking/bracket, etc. You are not guaranteed to have your account recovered so in the case where they are unable to do so, your account has unfortunately been lost.

​
4. Coupon Codes
​

• There is a wiki page for all existing coupon codes and it is updated ASAP when the codes show up. Please do not ask for coupon codes.
• https://www.reddit.com/superstarsmtown/wiki/couponcodes

​
5. Shortest Song(s)/What song(s) to Grind/What songs are easy to FSP
​

• There is a 4 year old song stats spreadsheet resource that is still updated to date which has all information on songs from their length to recommended for FSP or not. Please utilize this resource instead of making a separate post that otherwise has no basis to it.

6. Powering Up/Rating Up tips

If you want to learn to code, I've released 2,000 free sign ups for my course following my Automate the Boring Stuff with Python book (each has 1,000 sign ups, use the other one if one is sold out):
https://udemy.com/course/automate/?couponCode=JUN2023FREE
https://udemy.com/course/automate/?couponCode=JUN2023FREE2
Udemy has changed their promo code and severely limited the number of sign ups I can provide each month, so only sign up if you are reasonably certain you can eventually finish the course. The first 15 of the course's 50 videos are free on YouTube if you want to preview them.
YOU CAN ALSO WATCH THE VIDEOS WITHOUT SIGNING UP FOR THE COURSE. All of the videos on the course webpage have "preview" turned on. Scroll down to find and click "Expand All Sections" and then click the preview link. You won't have access to the forums and other materials, but you can watch the videos.
NOTE: Be sure to BUY the course for $0, and not sign up for Udemy's subscription plan. The subscription plan is free for the first seven days and then they charge you. It's selected by default. If you are on a laptop and can't click the BUY checkbox, try shrinking the browser window. Some have reported it works in mobile view.
Sometimes it takes an hour or so for the code to become active just after I create it, so if it doesn't work, go ahead and try again a while later.
Some people in India and South Africa get a "The coupon has exceeded it's maximum possible redemptions" error message. Udemy advises that you contact their support if you have difficulty applying coupon codes, so click here to go to the contact form. If you have a VPN service, try to sign up from a North American or European proxy.
I'm also working on another Udemy course that follows my recent book "Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python". So far I have the first 15 of the planned 56 videos done. You can watch them for free on YouTube.
Side note: My latest book, Python Programming Exercises Gently Explained is a set of 42 programming exercises for beginners for free or as a 99 cent ebook.
Frequently Asked Questions: (read this before posting questions)

• This course is for beginners and assumes no previous programming experience, but the second half is useful for experienced programmers who want to learn about various third-party Python modules.
• If you don't have time to take the course now, that's fine. Signing up gives you lifetime access so you can work on it at your own pace.
• This Udemy course covers roughly the same content as the 1st edition book (the book has a little bit more, but all the basics are covered in the online course), which you can read for free online at https://inventwithpython.com
• The 2nd edition of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python is free online: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/2e/
• I do plan on updating the Udemy course for the second edition, but it'll take a while because I have other book projects I'm working on. If you sign up for this Udemy course, you'll get the updated content automatically once I finish it. It won't be a separate course.
• It's totally fine to start on the first edition and then read the second edition later. I'll be writing a blog post to guide first edition readers to the parts of the second edition they should read.
• I wrote a blog post to cover what's new in the second edition
• You're not too old to learn to code. You don't need to be "good at math" to be good at coding.
• Signing up is the first step. Actually finishing the course is the next. :) There are several ways to get/stay motivated. I suggest getting a "gym buddy" to learn with. Check out /ProgrammingBuddies
