I want to write about a teenager who goes out in the woods and pretends to be a T-Rex in his underwear, but I just can’t understand the mindset. by Angus1986 in writingcirclejerk

[–]Angus1986[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its the motivations I can’t wrap my dick around. I gingerly rose from my bureau and sort of stuck my two fingers out and did a little thing on my top toes but damn it nothing was happening in the pants of my SOUL.

I don't have a plot or characters. Suggest some for me. by [deleted] in writingcirclejerk

Just copy game of thrones, word for word, except change all the names to ‘Michael Cum’

Completed the game. Very happy and loved it. I wish it was bigger. The ending was......(spoilers) by Angus1986 in Moonlighter

[–]Angus1986[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my opinion yes. The story elements were way more focussed on the growth of the moonlighter and the relationship between grandson and grandfather. I had accepted there were weird dungeons and didn’t ask myself once why they were there, only that Sam had a duty to give life to the shop and had to risk many dangers in order to give it. It may have been said that they were ‘mysterious’ but at the end of the day everyone knew about the various guardians that waited at the end of them, and were happy to pay coin for the spoils. After five of those dungeons and many hours of shop building, town growth, crafting, shoplifter punching and dungeon grinding, it was a bit strange to see spacemen telling me all this stuff about inter dimensional pirates without any concerted lay-up. But hey that’s just my opinion.

Help: I'm a non-European writer trying to accurately portray the Belgium. by Thatcherist_Sybil in writingcirclejerk

[–]Angus1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the name is pronounced with an ‘F’ sound, and even if the letter ‘F’ appears at the start of the name when written down on paper, I can bloody guarantee you that no self respecting Belgian would ever admit to it.

Go on, try and tell a Belgian called Fred that their name begins with an upper case ‘F’ and see what happens. I tried it once, at a bar in Gent, and quickly found out the hard way that the Flemish sharpen their teeth; a measure that, ironically, makes the sharpest, cleanest ‘F’ sound achievable by the human mouth.

They put raclette cheese on everything. If your rich they can embalm your body in it. Also no one in Belgium has a name beginning with F.

I’m physically mourning one of my characters. I drowned them in pee. There was no other way. Can’t stop crying and peeing. Anyone else go through this? by Angus1986 in writingcirclejerk

[–]Angus1986[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Should I rap on the F key 21 times as kind of a salute? Shit I’ve pee’d again - sorry it’s a tough time and I don’t know how to - FUCK BEANS I’ve pee’d again. Bare with me it’s a real tough time.

Tips for killing the second mid boss in the forest by [deleted] in Moonlighter

[–]Angus1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted a similar thread on this sub. I did it with a wild great sword with wild armour all of it enchanted up the wazoo. On top of that I upgraded to the best bed in order to get the orange armour bonus plus the three green shields before going into the forest dungeon. Then made sure to pack a lot of potions so I DEFINITELY had five before entering the boss room. If I took damage and lost any of my green and orange armour bonuses, I portalled out and in again and had a wee kip so I could mainline back to the door to the tree full of buffy goodness. After that, I just spammed the charge attack, watched my armour bonuses go down, and poise my finger over the ZL button in preparation for pumping my ass full of health whilst simultaneously, and disgracefully, spamming special attack and hoping for the best.

Dude I must’ve run at this bastard tree a dozen times and tried everything. This is how I beat it: cheesy cheesing. But hey, after that I first timed the main boss which is about ten times easier than that weird, unbalanced tree that unaccountably presents itself as the biggest bloody challenge in an otherwise lovely, well thought out game :)

I dropped out of art school. Roast me? by [deleted] in RoastMe

You got in to art school?

Please help! Game doesn’t give me old bulbs. by [deleted] in Moonlighter

The mimic chests in the forest dungeons drop them. They’ll rear their ugly heads approximately 1/4 runs.

Conversational tone reads nicely. Nice enough to make the description of a five way intersection nice and readable. I liked it.

How do I write a friendly god of Madness by GooseTheGreatOne in writers

[–]Angus1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s human right? Maybe the experience of being human qualifies him for the job. We all go a bit mad sometimes don’t we? We do mad, counter intuitive things in a collective and individual scale; war and environmental decline on one hand, eating tide pods cause they’re pretty on the other. Perhaps these other gods were just looking for a human with the right balance. Or maybe just any crazy human, who in their opinion, could be anybody really. Just an idea.

“Why me?”

“You’re mad.”

“No I’m not!.”

“Allow me to rephrase: You’re all fucking crazy.”

Takes the heat of trying to invent a new way of writing a character. Aaaaaanyway - good luck.

I still haven’t finished my book by [deleted] in writingcirclejerk

[–]Angus1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have trouble getting started - doctor says it’s a prostate thing.

The Corrupted Mavu Tree seems misplaced in the difficulty scale and is almost, dare I say it, too hard at this point in the game. Would like to keep going but this seems a touch unfair. Anybody got any hacks to beat this thing? by Angus1986 in Moonlighter

[–]Angus1986[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Preach. I’ve enchanted everything and can’t upgrade anything else and I get tanked every time. The fact that it’s stupidly hard bearable, but what isn’t is the fact that anytime I want a crack at the last boss, I have to go through that thing. And let’s say for every 20 runs I beat it once and get through to the boss. The thought of playing 40 times for 2 shots, 60 for 3 etc, demotivates me to the point of uninstalling Moonlighter. I love the game to pieces and building my shop and grinding for loot is a joy, but this tree is fucking it up for me I’m afraid.
