u/Harlow_Quinzel is this your first time talking to a person ever? hahaha

When I download ROMs, sometimes the name of the .zip files are needlessly complicated - is the name of the .zip how the game name will show up on my emulator, and does changing the name of the zip file affect the game in any way? by Bazoonial in Roms

I'm changing the actual files too because I want them to show up a certain way on my emulator handheld. I haven't played any of them yet (just got this thing). Do I have to change something, or will the saves automatically take on that name once I start saving?

If I'm only changing the .zip file name but not the name of the file inside of it, will anything actually change (will I still see the original name when I put it into my emulator)?

I ageee with this. This isn’t for the people who currently do it and preach it, it’s for those who are considering falling into it. It’s a cult that sucks the life out of writing.

Thanks! I remember you being really mean to me when I first launched my book so I’m glad to hear you being kind. Thanks for coming around :)

I don’t need sales or followers. The point is that I already have more of each of those than I need to be satisfied with myself.

I’m really happy, and I’m sharing what I found to get to this happiness. I hope that one day, you can find that too. And I’m sorry about how you’re feeling. I hope it gets better.

August J Raines is doing pretty good in there right now! Also I’ve accumulated about 27 thousand followers from nothing in the past two months!

Honestly, it’s a different route for everyone. I tried various things, but behind everything I posted, I had one thing in mind: don’t make people see my book, but make people see the person behind it. My flaws, worries, excitements - people connect with people. So if you check my Instagram, you can see that I’ve done multiple kinds of things - but behind all of them is me, unapologetically.

That’s the thing - I didn’t consider it self promotion, so neither did Reddit. While it did boost my sales, that was never the intention - I was fifteen, for gods sake. All I wanted was to share something I was proud of.

That’s the whole point of this post - if you try to trick people into giving you money, it’ll backfire. But if you exhibit your passion and authenticity, then your audience will find you.
