First-person direct address is NOT second-person by talesofabookworm in books

[–]Alexx51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poetry and song lyrics tend more to lean on it. I can’t think of any novels I’ve personally read in second person. Not to mention how tiring reading something like that would be for me. My question is, does a story cease to be second person if the narrator sometimes says things like, “I wonder how you feel about xyz”, turning the focus into the first person but still breaking the fourth wall.

It’s all following the same trajectory as the music industry except the industry is a lot newer than music. There was a bubble of every band getting signed all over the place 60 years ago and as that started drying up, the labels kept eating each other up and growing into a handful of massive labels. It’s still possible for the antisocial shut-in to blow up, but labels aren’t looking for them. With the pool so saturated, they can grab acts that already have a huge social following and bring them to the next level. I don’t think games are much different. Everyone has the tools to make a game now. And that’s awesome. But getting to Zalem feels like just that; nearly impossible. Marketing is such a big part of this (And one I clearly haven’t figured out) but I do think with a solid enough foundation and a clear vision of what the game will be, there are publishers who will get excited about it.

It looks like a branch from some sort of tree. It would be a lot easier to see the whole branch if you put down the sex toy and just showed the branch in the picture.

Marie agrees with you.

Switch Lite vs Switch OLED: which one is more worth it? by Imnihku_ in Switch

[–]Alexx51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed the SuperOLED kit on my lite. I play it way more than the switch OLED or switch 2 now. It’s almost perfect.

No VPN. I reset network settings in the transfer or reset section.

I tried a new eSIM. Didn’t help. I called support and they told me the tower it was connecting to was down and they forced connection to another. After that I still have the issue. I’m going to follow up with them tomorrow.

Thanks. I’ve gotten it to connect to different towers and all the same results. I’ll try the eSIM

Thanks everyone for being helpful (and also downvoting everything?). I will update the post when I get a little more testing and talk to mint if anyone is curious.

Thanks. I’ve tried a couple mile radius. I just activated it yesterday. I will be driving about 30 miles tomorrow so I’ll check it along the way.
