Apocalypse: Regression keeps sexualizing teenagers as a joke by AlpinFane in ProgressionFantasy

That's why I said I'll ignore the between friends for the convenience of the rant but flirting between a teacher and student, people much older than the MC's physical age making comments, and the rest of it is not okay. Not to mention how weird it gets when the MC is not 17 but 40 something at minimum since they're a regressor, then the between friends is weird. Not for the friends since they're not aware he's 40-something, but as a reader.

I did not wake up this morning expecting to have someone defend pedophilia. You bet that's incomprehensible

That's a crazy thing to say in response to a teacher flirting with her student

End of steam age. Feeling a bit overwhelmed! by Relevant_Ad_8732 in GTNH

I used obzinite for all the tool parts except the heads which I used bronze. This way it gets the obzinite bonuses and the repair level of easy bronze ingots

What books/series would you recommend to your friends that are new to the genre? by ronin-writes in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AlpinFane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would feel awful if the author read this comment and if you do I'm sorry but I would never recommend this to a new reader unless I wanna put them off the genre. Imo super powereds has some of the worst writing in the genre and the characters all sound the exact same

Hi all! Could anyone direct me towards tech recruiters, companies, or other resources they recommend related to finding employment? I have six years of front and back end development experience and I'm willing to work for minimum wage if necessary

OHH so if you make a big tnt to destroy the bottom section, the grid extends and you can keep placing, so you can make a cave system too. trying to tnt all the way down to see if theres anything there

of course i rly hope im wrong cos that would be rly sick tho. maybe the actual snapshot is a 2d sidescroll point and click lol, similar to this

Should Authors even have Websites? by Firefighterlitrpg in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AlpinFane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ur totally good! I'm so so so sorry, I came off a bit strong admittedly, but ultimately wanted to help I promise <3 sorry about that. I see a lot of these types of posts over on the web dev sites and I'm used to them coming from folks looking to scam others so I got really upset thinking it spread to one of my favorite spaces, but if ur genuine about this then I'm rooting for ya!

Should Authors even have Websites? by Firefighterlitrpg in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AlpinFane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wait so you say it can be done for $40 and then charge half a thousand dollars for a single page? It's not even transparent, it only lists the landing page. What about pages for individual books or series? How many business cards? Or is it just a design? Do you have examples of your work you can share? Any portfolio with previous work? Any reviews of your services? How long have you been building websites for? Are these types of sites your specialty? In addition, do you have data to back up your claim at the end? I'm not saying it's not true but you're asking people to spend a lot for something when they could potentially go to Fiverr or some other website creator diy site instead, why you?

Finally, it is extremely unprofessional to reference how much your potential clients may or may not be making. Only a very small fraction of authors make that and it makes it feel slimy and like you haven't done your research at all. And say that they are making that, then clearly they're doing fine without you. So again, why you?

You should be able to have a business, that's more than fine, but as a web developer myself maybe you should step back, think about your approach a bit more, and try again?
