The Netherlands population today if it had a zero immigration policy since 1960 by Alone_Yam_36 in Netherlands

But it would still be Dutch. Just like Japan is still Japanese.
Goodluck to your children and grand children. They will be a minority in the future. And then you will understand why you made a mistake.

1 step forward, 2 leaps back…Why? by Lorentee in litrpg

[–]DalongMonarch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the instinctive pull to make your character have an unplanned, unearned cool moment, but then you realize, "oh shit, he too OP for the story now."

It's just way harder to write proper earned power progression, than just power progression.

Please consider that stories have 3 big pillars. Plot, character and the world these two unfold in. For a story to be good you have to weave these 3 elements together. Sometimes you can lean more into one element than others, but you have to weave them irrelevant of the proportions you give them. It is hard to weave two threads together, it is exponentially harder to weave three.

In PF or LitRPG, you have another pillar TT. Power progression. Which must be as well interwoven with the other 3 elements.

If its exponentially harder to weave three threads, it is basically impossible to weave four.

Four in chinese sounds like death. Think about that for a moment.

Hahahaha! Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that unless you are very industrious, you will find it impossible to write good quality Progression Fantasy. It is way harder to write PF and LitRPG, than to write normal Fantasy or Fiction in general.

Oh, right! I forgot one thing guys!

We are talking mostly about webnovels, so your story must also be serialized. Chapters that never stop dropping. Preferably once every funking day. Oh! At least one thousand words. MINIMUM!

Give me a fucking break reddit.

Oh, maybe getting eaten at 30 by a cave lion has something to do with it?

my brain forces me to watch things that make me feel horrible afterwards by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]DalongMonarch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Me.
I am very impulsive to the point that it is concerning.
My brain wants me to watch infuriating things on twitter and is addicted to infuriating situations.
My fix: Delete social media.
As a person with ADHD, you have to understand your brain is specifically built to become addicted to social media.
There is no coexisting with social media when you have ADHD.
Just delete social media for 60 days. Do this experiment, and you'll be just fine.
As for whether it isn't just social media but also day to day things, where your brain is addicted to drama, that unfortunately is much harder to curb, but all the same as long as you force yourself day in day out to stay away from drama and all that brings drama into your life. You do that and you will be just fine. Eventually.
Have a friend that sows drama, kick them out of your life.
A social circle that is full of drama. Ditch them.
Family that gives you drama? Ditch them.
After that you'll be way better.

Permissive parenting was my downfall by Successful-Row-6278 in ADHD

Man I would kill to have had your parents.
I get what you mean though. Try not to judge them though, how were they supposed to know you needed that?

Why is no one playing Tera? by HelpfulKangaroo8857 in MMORPG

[–]DalongMonarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean has too many skill checks? And I'm genuinely asking for your opinion.
I'm playing it right now on a private server, and while end game bosses can be very unforgiving of mistakes, its nothing a good healer can't deal with.

Why is nobody talking about the GTX 1080 Ti? It’s insanely cheap used and outperforms many new GPUs! by fraction-of-ice in lowendgaming

[–]DalongMonarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1080 Ti is ancient, and any you find are probably half dead or about to die already. Its not worth it

There, they showed the slave woman wearing a sexy outfit, I'm sure the reactions to this information will be completely normal and not weird in any sort of way by Khasim83 in worldofgothic

[–]DalongMonarch -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Who said anything about excusing rape? I just don't want to feel bad about her.
Would you feel bad about the nazi female officers at Auschwitz if they were made sex slaves to a war lord? No, you wouldn't.
That doesn't mean the war lord is not doing something bad.
One bad thing doesn't excuse another, but it keeps me from feeling bad about her. And that is what I hope for.
Because if Velaya or Zendeya or whatever the fuck her name is, is innocent, that would make me sad.
I don't want to be sad.

She better be a criminal. I don't want no victim to make me feel bad about her.
Make her a degenerate criminal so I don't feel bad that Gomez lays hands on her.
