I'm releasing a new epic fantasy over on Royalroad! It's a heroic fantasy tale of adventure with my style of progression system. LitRPG without the numbers. I've got something I think is a little better instead. Goblin slaying awaits in the link below!

If you're one of those people who crack booster packs on youtube, PLEASE have a glass of water and a snack before filming. Your hands will shake less. It does not look like you're excited to rip the pack, it looks like you have a health condition if you're shaking.

"Some author had some opinions and made a piece of entertainment I liked, therefor he is more informed than industry professionals." Guys, we need to coin a new logical fallacy for this shit. It's too common. I suggest Ad Fabulum. (This is not an endorsment of AI police)
There is literally a whole anime about why this is a fucking stupid idea and doesn't work.

Taking the steelman position on trigger warnings, doesn't it make way more sense to integrate them into a search and discovery system as a filter? Toggle off anything with gore and never see it, rather than raise your blood pressure seeing everything that is an issue for you.
EL PEOR SITIO WEB SOBRE ANIME Acaba de lanzarse Mamorulist, una plataforma colaborativa diseñada para alertar a los espectadores sobre el contenido sensible de cualquier anime antes de que comiencen a verlo. Aunque la base de datos advierte sobre temas psicológicos delicados o contenido sugerente, la comunidad reaccionó con rechazo, criticando la herramienta por fomentar una visualización excesivamente cautelosa y calificándola como un sitio para "turistas del anime". Además de estas alertas preventivas, el sistema permite filtrar historias simplemente para evadir protagonistas débiles o finales trágicos. El anime lleva décadas construyendo su identidad precisamente sobre las experiencias que esta plataforma intenta evitar.

One of the labs I work in has an unidentified chemical in a bucket. It is the exact color of Lemon Gatorade. The intrusive thoughts come for me.

I'm surprused I can't recall ever seeing any conspiracy angle that cryptids (ie bigfoot et al) are aliens.

It's the lighting. I'm willing to bet the model is entirely spot on, the problem is the creative direction to do "realistic" lighting instead of manipulating the light to create the desired impression. Games are art and art is not beholden to strict reality.
The new God of War Faye spin-off is getting huge backlash for making the in-game character way uglier than Deborah Ann Woll, the voice and motion-capture actress behind Faye. Sony did it again, you can thank the usual consultants

This is the kind of factoid that makes me tell people that if they want to write fantasy, they should study history. If this doesn't give you plot ideas, you might be in trouble.
King of Sweden figured this out 500 years ago to price cargo value for import taxes 1. You declare the assessed value of your asset, you pay the tax on your assessed value 2. The king has the right to buy the asset at the declared value Lindy

I refreshed my timeline and lost a post just as I realized I wanted to send it to someone. Damn.

I need to reach the mtg players. I'm in need of a storage box for 8 commander decks, with room for archenemy cards, and doesn't result in them getting damaged like the shit box I bought from Microcenter. Any recommendations?

So I was talking to a coworker about one of my stories. Two months went by without seeing him (different ends of the office) but when he caught me, the first thing he said was bringing up my story because he had still been thinking about it. That's gotta be a good sign.

Imagine trying to politely explain to a coworker you just met why you think Star Wars is crap, and the only thing you know about him is that he probably likes Assassin's Creed. At least nobody wonders when I say I'm an introvert.

It's worth noting that if the bottom half of America suddenly got $10,000, a lot of it would be spent on Amazon products.

On the one hand, I could continue writing my very serious dystopia piece about societal collapse into procrastination and irony. On the other, I could be writing about dumbasses protecting Earth from an alien invasion...

And unfortunately, I am obligated to trade my limited time on Earth in exchange for survival tokens and can currently write neither.

So are we done with "Superman but he's evil"? Maybe we can switch to "Superman but he's kind of stupid"

I almost didn't fall asleep last night because I was trying to figure out whether you could build a satisfying TTRPG combat system using a deck of standard playing cards instead of dice. My conclusion was "probably, but you couldn't have D&D style casters"

Yeah... I don't really get why peoole watched this through to the end.
In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke “Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.” “People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’ “I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.” “So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’ “And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”

So what's the 40k community going to do when forced to reckon with the fact that their setting is way more mundane than their fancy words imply and the books are simply an evocative deception?

I don't understand readers (and writers too) who only read one genre. How does your mood not shift? How do you not eventually build up a desire for some stupid power fantasy to cleanse your palette, or get tired of the tropes and want something with intellectual challenge?

If I come to you and tell you I've got a half-formed idea I'm working on for a story, you don't need to tell me it's stupid. I know it's a stupid idea, that's why I called it half-formed. I'm trying to figure out how to make it not-stupid.
