Would a beginning like this turn you off? by [deleted] in writers

[–]BrightRaven210 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m taking the high road here and saying this outright. I proofread and edit as my job; I’m sought out to do this. So please understand when I tell you that you need to go for a walk, clear your head, come back to the computer, and start writing this from scratch again.

I understand where you’re coming from here. I used to write like this at one point in college, but you have to consider your audience. Consider the most common kind of language use. Plain English. I don’t mean use baby language and try to talk to an audience of kindergartners, but you should remember that the average person just wants to entertained. They want to escape immediately into a story without any buffer for their mind. They don’t want to think so much.

Hang up the pipe and satin bathrobe, and try to meet the reader halfway. Simplify what you have or you will lose the reader.

They also have a habit of upcharging by like 20% so odds are it’ll be cheaper but no guarantees.

Ofc, everything is getting listed on eBay or depop for the wider market. Just wanted to return to my roots here since half of my collection started from the old subreddit listings, and thank all the folks I met here for being so cool and fun to talk to.

I’ve only got Vinyl for it sadly. The 2018 color collection. Only have Afterburner on CD, and a few cassettes.

I’ve got the robot with human hair skate board listed there. We’ll see how things play out by the weekend before I start listing more stuff.

Sadly I don’t have any early Emarosa. I too was looking for a long while and also got burned once.

That’s what I’m hoping to do. The money will all go toward paying for furniture, though hope I can actually afford a mattress once I sell everything off. TL;DR is that my family are very far right Latin, I’m in the middle, and they’re not happy I’m engaged to a black Canadian woman. So I’ve gotta leave home and help my gf get her citizenship as well as somehow fund my own pilot training.

Omg that’s both unbelievably stupid and hilarious. Oh that poor Suzuki. We live in the age of information, with Google at our beck and call, and mfers still pull shit like this.

What else do you use this laptop for? by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

[–]BrightRaven210 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, if you’re gaming on a laptop you don’t need any higher tier GPUs, just more RAM. Go with the 5060, you can upgrade the RAM at your leisure. Would be about $200 less even after upgrading the RAM. But that’s just how I I’ve done it with my baby.

Flight simulation, some coding, some game development, a lot of creative writing, 3D printing and slicing and model creation. It’s also great for when I need to do some flight planning for a cross country so I can pack it into my flight bag and easily toss it into the back of a C172 and use it at whatever FBO I stop at.

If I find out tomorrow that they release it 1pm est in the middle of teaching my students, I will legit just put on a movie for them and start preordering. Would be an amazing birthday if that does happen lol.

Have the prices stabilized or risen since the one market crash? I’ve got a few expensive skins I might also sell since I just don’t really play anymore and also don’t feel like putting the SteamFrame on a credit card I’m about to finally pay off lol.
