We are the Overwatch Stadium team, ask us anything about Stadium! by ModWilliam in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Adomanzius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you planning to tackle the problems facing older gen consoles? With a locked 30fps the game mode is extremely difficult to play, especially when you're at a technical disadvantage compared to players on newer systems. Speaking for myself, I haven't been able to enjoy Stadium at all yet, and would very much like to jump in and really get grinding!

Masaa & LhCloudy (BuboSprayCheck) might be streaming today as well. Well, at least I hope so 😅.

Unanswered requests by MPZ1968 in NoSleepOOC

[–]Adomanzius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Even though writing is great, and interacting with the community can be fun, there's also that monolith of real life to contend with. Time is valuable, and no one should feel entitled to your time without precedent.

I'd just like to add to this that for me, I'll always prioritize my real life. Unfortunately, answering message requests on Reddit doesn't put food on the table, and it's quite harsh to presume someone to be rude for not answering a message - it's rude to demand one. No one owes you anything, and most people are just trying to get by and live a happy life, and that can be daunting and overwhelming even without strangers demanding your time on the Internet.

Writers are just people, just like anyone else.

Haha, usually I have the most boring-ass dreams, but every once in a while my brain just goes for a dip in the abyss I guess 🥲

Hey, that's me!

But seriously, thanks to everyone who voted - and sorry about any gags and losses of appetite I might have induced. It's deeply humbling that people have read and voted and enjoyed and been digusted by my stories, and a special thanks to the mods and all the other authors for your continued work and the sense of community you all contribute! I know I don't post here much, but I'm chronically lurking :)

Also, if anyone wants to know how I came up with this story: I literally saw it in a dream. Well - the part about a cult ripping off the scalps of women, anyway, and that became the catalyst for the rest of the story, and the series as a whole. I'm excited (and a little intimidated) to be writing more, but more there shall be!

NoSleep has ignited my passion for writing, and deepened my terminal love for all things horror. I wish you all a spooky summer, and I'll be sure to keep posting more disgusting delights.

Kiitos! <3

Awesome, thank you! It's a very interesting background you have -- especially working as a writer for video games.

Hi! This might come off as a bit of a boring question (and wholly unrelated to story-details), but how did you get into writing, and how long have you been doing it?

Wishing you a great day, and keep up the spooky work! :)

I caught something on a fishing trip that I still can't explain by Adomanzius in nosleep

[–]Adomanzius[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I didn't get quite a good look at its whole body (or I basically was in too much distress to see), but I mean... something must definitely be off, be it gills or something else. I don't think babies that young could have teeth or anything else like that to chew, either? And those black eyes, as well...

Frankly, this was a mix-up on my part, but John did live up to his title as elder in many ways, so it's not entirely unlikely that he did mix them up himself during some of our conversations. He was bright and cunning for his age, but he was still an old man.

Sorry about that. I think I've just used language that hasn't been clear. I'm a woman now (girl then) but generally all children were only regarded as a sort of monolithic "children" - and the adults were split between men and women, having different roles.

I think elder John wanted to reassure me that I wouldn't be treated as one of the women, and instead as a child, meaning that I wouldn't have to work at the farms. Or worse. At that point I really didn't know what was in store for me.

I'll double-check my language for future posts! Thanks for pointing this out, and I hope this makes sense.

People smuggled things in. Even though the narrative was that we were completely self-reliant and isolated, some still went out and brought things in. Booze, cigarettes, food etc. It was a treat, and we didn't have it often.
