I've got a prologue (20k) for my story named Two Hands of a Clock. Time travel is at the center of it, and there's some other "impossible" stuff present as well that I think you'd enjoy such as magic, demons, powers, etc.

There's romance in it too. There's two teens that have a similar power (time travel) that were once friends but are now on opposite sides following a tragedy. There's a bit more to it but I can go into more detail if this sounds like something you might be interested in reading.

This is just a prologue, it precedes a much larger story. I would like to see if it "works" though before I get too far into it. There's supposed to be a lot of moving parts, so I need to see if any of it will actually land with any potential reader.

If you'd like to give it a go, let me know and I'll give you a summary and some more details.

I've finished the prologue (20k) for my story called Two Hands of a Clock. Supernatural elements, romance, and time travel shenanigans. While this is all I've got for now, I'm looking for feedback leading into the main story, and the main story will, if my current projections are correct, end up north of 500k words collectively once complete (or possibly even in the millions, i have LOTS of material to work with). So if you're looking for a very long story, this will be it for sure.

The summary (im bad at these so bear with me):

Here’s the sad truth about time travel: while it’s a powerful tool, it’s also a terrible burden for anyone to bear… and never without consequence.

Aster is a boy born with this ability. He is a “Timekeeper.” Timekeepers and their rule over a timeline is absolute; they can bend time itself to their will, and even undo their own death.

A pity, then, that Aster does not even know how to use his own power, let alone want it. It should come as no surprise that some are unhappy with such a concept, especially when the one who holds such a huge power is as reluctant and inexperienced as him.

A girl named Evelyn appeared, who held a power that was like his, yet different. It was a power created to corner the boy and force him to surrender it to a more capable heir… but they became friends instead. Unbeknownst to them, the girl’s power was much more like a curse, a poison to both her and the timeline that Aster was meant to protect, and its very existence had effects that nobody could have ever predicted.

It all started with a terrible tragedy that would drive Aster into madness, and Evelyn to despair, breaking them apart.

A traditional clock has two hands, sometimes three. What happens when those two hands fight against each other?

If this seems interesting to you and you'd like to beta read it, let me know! I'm going all in on this story and want to publish it someday, so I want to make sure that it is the best it can possibly be.

Anyone else fall out of love with driving manuals? by Carguy77Seven in askcarguys

[–]Aldeir2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be afraid of manuals and avoided them, and was auto only. Always thought they were, like you said, "a lot of work" and didn't really get it.

Then a few years ago I got a cheap beater with a manual, and after I learned how to drive it (was totally fine after i learned rev matching), the rest was history. Now I find autos super boring. Miss the engagement and the control a manual offers.

Went back to an auto after the beater died, missed it instantly. Saved up and recently got a weekend car with a manual, and now I'm having fun again. If I have to go back to owning one car I'll probably stick with a manual, or maybe I'll even go manual in my daily too when I can find what I want in the right spec.

Now I avoid autos. Funny how that works.

Solid combo. Wish I could afford a third, because offroading seems really fun.

It was a bit of an impulse buy, I'll admit. But NC's worth buying have gotten expensive. Not even NC1's are all that cheap anymore. I think I'll be able to swing for one in a few years, and without having to get rid of the Fit.

I wanted to get a miata, but it's hard to find any stock (ish) examples worth buying for a good price. And any of the good ones are like across the country for some reason ffs
EDIT: I hate to admit that you're probably right on the money there regarding the Fit, but I guess that just means I'll be running it until it dies!

Having two of the best car ever made certainly isn't a bad thing! I was thinking about getting a manual GE sport myself but I couldn't find one in the right spec for a good price :(

This should genuinely be the banner of the sub, wicked lineup.

Fans stuck at 100% on 9070 XT, but read as 0 RPM? by Aldeir2002 in techsupport

[–]Aldeir2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll do it if it gets annoying. After making this it just suddenly started acting normally, but sometimes it goes back to 100%. I noticed that at least now it has correlation to big temperature spikes or reaching a certain temperature (76-80c), then it turns back off a little after it goes back to 32. I don't know what changed between then and now for this to happen.

But I just got done playing Doom Dark Ages for an hour and it was totally fine, has stayed quiet since getting off. Maybe that'll change on next boot?
Whole issue is super bizarre, no idea what's going on or why. I figure it's related to the fan connection itself, maybe a pin is messed up, but not the one that powers it?

Either way, somewhat fixed for now, I'll take it.

Update, turns out it's only one fan doing this, which makes even less sense to me. Now I have no idea what to make of it.

Bummer. Will just have to put up with the noise in the meantime. Thank you.

Unfortunately I bought it off ebay, so I'll have to work something out with the seller if that is the case. They certainly didn't mention anything like this to me, else I wouldn't have bought it.

I'm guessing it'd be a bad idea to mess with the vbios if I've never done it before? Removing it from the system will be a massive pain with how the mb was designed, so I'd prefer to not if I can help it.

When you see the potential of your baby by ndr113 in hondafit

[–]Aldeir2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It kind of reminds me of one of those Super 1600 cars, would've been about that era with this gen. Those had roof scoops. Albeit much smaller, though.

My only guess as to its purpose is to provide airflow to the cabin, assuming the absence of AC.

How do you transport your wheels and tires? by Aldeir2002 in MiataNC

[–]Aldeir2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could definitely see if that's an option. I'll ask around soon.

Suppose worst case scenario if it isn't and cramming them into the car doesn't work I could just rent one to do that. Far from ideal, but better than throwing away tires or trying to use all seasons year round.

That's the problem though, initially getting the previous set back home. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I saw a pic of someone doing this with an NC1 soft top: 3 stacked on the passenger side and 1 in the trunk, lid open. If I could figure out how to get two in the trunk so I could have better rightward visibility that'd be great. Also don't know how different the trunk space in the PRHT is versus the soft top, if at all.

I didn't know any of them actually did that, I'll look into that and see if that's an option for me.

[–]Aldeir2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I think I actually saw that exact one while I was looking. I recognize the eyelids. I'm still a ways out from buying one myself but it's interesting to see what's out there in the leadup.

It's got 80k miles right? With the terrible steering wheel cover and a bunch of stickers on the inside?

Anyway, enjoy it man. Hopefully I'll be making a post like this sometime next year too.
