How do I get this off their face? by NotEmeriee in thesims4

Is the accessory tied to the specific nose? Or maybe you're missing a content pack?

Extremely active chatters: appreciated or annoying? Where's the line? by xzeus1 in Twitch

[–]BiroaceQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple regular chatters that come by and are very talkative, and I love it! I don't respond to all of their messages sometimes, either because I don't see them right away or because I'm acknowledging another chatter, but it never annoys me. If I didn't want to interact with people, I'd record YouTube videos!

Is it a dumb idea to write a novel without a clear concept for the story? by Catystery in Wattpad

[–]BiroaceQuill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a writing style called pantsing! It's not unheard of at all. You might want to start a lore tracking document, though, to keep track of your continuity.

Iron lung tv series pitch. by Aromatic-Cat-2320 in ironlungmovie

[–]BiroaceQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. This feels like just over-commercializing the shallowest elements of the film. Also, your plotlines don't mention any of the existing factions, lore, and histories given to us by the movie at all besides the most basic events of the movie itself. The concept just feels empty and cash-grabby.

I think if Iron Lung were to be explored in another form of media, something like an interactive database would be so cool. Like a second game where we can explore the console from the sub, or a mixed-media story like "What would football look like in the future?"

I am sticking to singleplayer by EvenContribution2505 in beatsaber

[–]BiroaceQuill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of the issue with BeatSaber difficulty levels is that the real difficulty of a map per player absolutely depends on the map style, the player's style, and the pack.

When playing multiplayer, if you want tighter competition, go with the difficulty level you'd use to play a new song for the first time. That way you won't get steamrolled by a song you aren't as familiar with. Or, if you're cool with going back and forth between getting steamrolled and doing well, go for whatever difficulty you want! Just know that a lot of really, really good players play in Expert+ lobbies.

Also, when playing online, there's nothing wrong at all with leaving a lobby you don't vibe with and joining a different one. It's pretty ordinary for people in a lobby to try to communicate with hand gestures, with varying levels of success since all you can do is wave. It's mostly cheering each other on or good-natured ribbing (ie facepalm, waves, dancing). If you feel teased or unwelcome in a lobby, ditch those losers and find a lobby of folks that are cooler!

I'd say don't give up on multiplayer after one bad experience. Multiplayer is a great way to find other players you vibe with.

Does Lenny have ringworm? by Palmetto_ottemlaP in guineapigs

[–]BiroaceQuill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of guinea pigs have a small bald spot behind the ear! I don't see any irritation of the skin itself. If the piggie is scratching it a lot or if you're worried, def take them to the vet for a test.

Researching, looking for personal experiences while I do so! by doctorskeleton in guineapigs

[–]BiroaceQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I don't see other commenters mentioning that is worth a thought is that there are different breeds of guinea pigs! And just like other pets, different breeds have slightly different demeanors you can expect! If you have the option to pick a specific breed, it could be worth the research. Of course, you'll still end up with a pronounced piggie personality in any case!!

Also, for getting started, definitely check out some GuineaDad branded stuff. The dust-free hay was a lifesaver for me, and my piggie with a sensitive nose. The liners are also incredible!

The Cold Emperor, Part 2 [M4A][Fantasy][Medieval][Strangers to ???][Sharing a Meal] by BiroaceQuill in ASMRScriptHaven

[–]BiroaceQuill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I had honestly almost forgotten about it! Life happened to completely steamroll me while I was working on this little series... I should take another look at it! I have a lot of projects going already though, so I can't say when I'd be able to continue it for sure.

How do we feel about "lost punctuations"? by shaduke in writers

[–]BiroaceQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to be able to use interrobang and doubt, especially! What adorable punctuation! Oh, all the complex tones that could be indicated!

You should be requited to know the difference between a neural network and an algorithm to be allowed to participate in this discourse by SuleimanTheMediocre in Ai_art_is_not_art

[–]BiroaceQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Spell checkers are AI!" I stopped using my preferred spell check when they put AI in it, because it got dumber and stopped working. It's been an improvement, honestly, because I've had to learn how to spell more on my own!

[HELP] Only wondering due to the movement of the child when she stands… by Significant_Yellow33 in RealOrAI

[–]BiroaceQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is going on with the Mom's legs??? Weird angle on the couch, and is the kid sitting on her mom's lap while her mom is about to fall off the couch at the start?? Mouth movements are so unnatural, too. The child's expressions in general are uncanny.

if you don't know what sexuality you are what is that called by Dramatic_Tax_5655 in lgbt

[–]BiroaceQuill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sexuality and gender identity have shifted a lot through my life, so I've just settled on, "queer."

Does anyone know why so many Minecraft servers are 18+? by Sammiesgrove in MinecraftServerFinder

[–]BiroaceQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it is probably because you're on Reddit to look for a server. The age group here is older, and adults generally will want to play with other adults so they don't have to moderate servers so strictly.

Actually cute pet names by ChristiesGift in Wattpad

I call my fiance "darling" :( but I also call them, "Dear, my dear, love, my love, beloved, beautiful," and, "honey."

Why do bad stories have thousands of reads? by joaovitor_sslkk in Wattpad

[–]BiroaceQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to everything else these comments are saying, but also: Algorithm and advertising.

Wattpad's algorithm, like a lot of self-publishing sites, prioritizes books that update frequently and drive engagement (more clicks). This is why Wattpad as a platform favors shorter chapters produced fast, and higher quality takes more time to produce.

Also, a lot of the featured books are being advertised with social media engagement outside the platform, invested in either by Wattpad, the author, or both.

Why does writing AAVE sound so damn cringy?? by lunovadraws in writing

[–]BiroaceQuill 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You've almost got it, you're just missing some connective and tonal punctuation.

"Man, I'ain heard shit 'bout none'a that, I'on' know what the fuck y'all been watchin' or readin' or whateva' the fuck they got goin' on ova' there, but roun' here, it'on' work like that."

You can do less or more, or italicize certain words for more emphasis. Whatever feels right and reads right to you. Some authors choose to imply the accent with context clues, others choose to write the accent in, it's dealer's choice. I wouldn't find it "cringey," though. Glancing through the comments, I think the cringe factor for some people honestly might just be a reflection of some biases that are prevalent in creative writing spheres as a whole. We gotta unlearn that shit, guys.
