I don’t think he’s techie enough to get into AI. He “wrote” some articles that were clearly generated (the grammar was far too good) but that’s as close as he’s gotten AFAIK.

Are we positive that account is from Nathen and not some weird “fan” account?

Wait, didn’t he commission someone to design Nathfield? Did somebody get paid to make that comic?

It’s quite simple, straightforward, and unambiguous actually, here’s a copy-n-paste from the website:

quote:

Egeez (cough) is the world’s 1st licensing marketplace to protect the studios
See? Simple!

Yes, the “(cough)” is originally in there, which I choose to interpret in the funniest way which is that Nathen created all the text with voice transcription.

I don’t know how anybody can be confused; the value proposition of Egeez is crystal clear

quote:

Egeez App is a tech-driven and entergaging Quick Mobile Licensing (QML) marketplace for licensed products intelligently geo-located according to licensed territories granted by top Hollywood studios to licensees to help boost maximum merch visibility.

Egeez protects both - fans from
counterfeits merch and licensors from
trademark infringements.

The blue focus is to build a magical
trusted place for verified licensed
products worldwide.

Are you saying you don’t want to be blue focused on a magical trusted place for verified licensed products worldwide???

Also lol that the sole reply to Nathen's weirdo misogynistic rant on Twitter is a person who replied "Grafeld" and nothing else.

E: And by "rant" I mean his entire string of posts has zero retweets and one reply

There are more replies now

His stories today are confusing even for Nathen. I think he is trying to say that thanks to MbS making Saudi Arabia Great Again his book is out of date so he is recalling it and taking back everything back he said about Saudi Arabia because he loves it so much. He did this over like a dozen stories so it feels pointless to just upload them all.

What a loving loser

Of course he would dismantle his one project that he actually completed. Worshipping MbS is totally on-brand and just furthers his slide into mediocrity that’s not worth paying attention to.

He hit the cat during a drunken stupor (during the pandemic lockdown IIRC), which I think prompted him to cut back on drinking. I think it was shortly thereafter we stopped hearing about it so I assume he gave it away although I don’t remember if he said anything about that.

As of 2022, Nathen embarked on a new disruptive first-mover and start-up, Egeez Technologies, aiming to connect millions of fans with verified global manufacturing licensees of major entertainment properties (Pokémon, Mickey Mouse, Spider Man, One Piece, etc.) directly, at lower prices

This is the first time I can recall hearing that Egeez (commit to a single way of capitalizing it Nathen!!!) is supposed to lower prices. I guess through the magic power of being a middleman leech?

Still mystified how Egeez is supposed to save anybody money

The only possible way I can think of is if you consider buying unlicensed merchandise an extra cost - “oh no, this is a COUNTERFEIT Mickey Mouse backpack!!! I must burn it immediately to protect THE BRAND”

I could have sworn we found the source of Nathen’s boxed lasagna and it was some company making curry-flavored lasagna with orange sauce. Am I imagining that?

No, I remember somebody digging up the original manufacturers website. The Bog Cow Lasagna was just a different label. (Edit: I’m leaving the autocorrect error)

Which leaves recipes for… Garfaccinos and terrible pizza? I remember Nathen being super proud about some recipe he concocted over months with the help of expert chefs - I think that was the orange pizza sauce?

So where is the orange sauce that he spent a year working on with an expert chef or whatever????

Also adding a bit of carrots to tomato sauce is totally valid; canned tomatoes lose their sweetness so you need to add it back somehow. Cheap-rear end sauces just use sugar.

Busters posted:

It's the first recipe posted. The "secret sauce" is Tapenade with some herbs and vegetables added.

My point is how the hell does that list of ingredients make an orange sauce? From reading the recipes this is what goes into it:

* Tomato puree
* White onions
* Garlic
* Shallots
* Basil
* Truffle oil
* Green olives
* Caper seeds
* Olive oil
* Minced garlic

This nebulous step claims it becomes orange: “Turn off the heat and give it a nice blender to get the Garfield Orange color for the final aroma.”

How!? How does that turn orange? Is “Garfield Orange” a separate ingredient he didn’t include anywhere?

Maybe these were the recipes from the Dubai store that served as the basis for Toronto but then got updated along the way. It is completely in character that Nathen would have lost the updated recipes and/or the kitchen was utterly unorganized.
