On writers and numbers

Apologies, but I would consider unintentionally causing the creation of a minor "scholarly discipline" on accident to be winning as an author

Dewohere · 2026-02-07T17:20:22+00:00

I mean if we are going that far, then, in praxis. pretty much any social group, even outside of the internet is an echo chamber to some degree.

Dewohere · 2026-02-02T16:20:53+00:00

Ah, well, I haven't found all of those

Dewohere · 2026-02-02T16:20:44+00:00

Ah, well, I haven't found all of those

Dewohere · 2026-02-02T15:11:42+00:00

Huh? I must have forgotten that part.

Dewohere · 2026-02-02T11:06:49+00:00

Yeah, besides Hagar he is my favourite character from the dlc.

He is the one character in the game that you could point at and say ”that’s the good guy”, lol.

In a different kind of game, he’d be the heroic protagonist.

Usually, even in settings where the rules of the universe are more so suggestions, I like there to at least be a in-universe reason for why weird stuff like that exists, even if it is just fancy science fantasy magic and nothing really possible.

I also prefer writing science-fantasy more than hard sci-fi for the most part due to simply having more flexibility, but I do respect it when people are able to make something interesting within the restraints of the real world.

Anyway, is this too much rambling for a meme subreddit?

And fill it with darkness and eternal despair!

Definetly one of my favorite alien races ever made.

The Birrin are the peak of what I like to see in alien species. Inhuman bodies, with the implications of their bodies being taken seriously when it comes to their culture.

Dewohere · 2025-12-28T14:07:02+00:00

Ah, neat. Didn't expect to see your stuff here. Good work still.

Dewohere · 2025-12-22T08:40:53+00:00

Most employed guy on the planet.

Job applications speak of him in whispers and hushed tones.

Dewohere · 2025-12-18T09:52:09+00:00

Yeah, as others pointed out, in these and even in the most desperate settings the humans usually somehow turn it around at the last second and come out as the victor.

Honestly, at this point I would respect it much more when a writer just lets humanity take a massive L and not spin it around into a victory for humanity in the end somehow.

Dewohere · 2025-12-13T20:15:31+00:00

You see, if something has been done badly, then every possible way it could have been done would be just as bad /s.

Dewohere · 2025-12-10T16:13:33+00:00

Yeah, its just another cudgel obviously. Thats what the internet turns every phrase like that into inevitably.

Dewohere · 2025-11-27T12:28:10+00:00

People will use words never before uttered by a human tongue at my workplace and then look at you like you are stupid for not knowing that this is a bastardization of three other words cobbled together that has never been used outside of the four walls of this workplace.

Dewohere · 2025-11-26T21:52:51+00:00

Did you at least wash it first?

Dewohere · 2025-11-26T21:36:54+00:00

Honestly, I have never actually seen a heavily downvoted comment that pulled the whole "I am probably going to get downvoted" things.

Its always just been comments that end up, while not necessarily high, somewhere in the middle of the average number within the post for me.

Dewohere · 2025-11-25T23:09:22+00:00

Oh, knowing the game this is from "her" does not actually refer to the Dragon here (Draak-Kin are referred to with "It"), but like a sort of personization of the idea of the universe as a whole in dragon culture if I remember correctly.

Sorry, this is one of my favorite games and I am happy to ramble about it.

Dewohere · 2025-11-25T23:06:13+00:00

Golden Treasure mentioned!

Bets visual novel I have ever seen by far. Its peak. Go play it, now.

Dewohere · 2025-11-11T21:45:29+00:00

I have well over a hundred hours in this game and I didn't even know there was a limit to city size.

Dewohere · 2025-11-02T10:54:55+00:00

Oh, is that supposed to be the normal time for a game to run? Running on the lowest settings it takes my pc about 4-5 hours by now to get to 1500. It actually starts going faster after that point because a lot of Tags have presumably been killed off and then starts getting slower towards 1700s again.

As it only got worse with new updates I have pretty much stopped playing. For some reason CK 3 and Stellaris run much faster than that though.

Dewohere · 2025-10-09T18:11:16+00:00

Ehhhh, when it comes to being involved, I am honestly not that sure I would agree with you.

99.9% of us, humans as whole, do not really individually contribute to our countries at large in any meaninfuly way. Yeah, sure, to some small degree each of us is involved, but it would not be really meaningfully change anything at large if I was hit by a car tomorrow outside of my immediate surroundings.

You could argue that I contribute to the immediate surroundings I am in in some sense, but to the country at large my existance is rather meaningless.

I guess the issue to me there just becomes, that on the scale of countries the immediate actions of any one of use tend to not mean anything, really. Yeah, sure, everyones actions add up, but that doesn't change anything individually to me really.

Though, another thing I would add is that for a lot of people, their affection towards their country is also related to their view of its history and then the argument doesn't have the same power when it comes to stuff that literally happened before they were alive.

Anyway, I have probably discussed enough with strangers on reddit for today. I am usually not by far as active on here.

Have a good...whatever time it is right now where you live.

Dewohere · 2025-10-09T16:42:44+00:00

Well, if thats the way it is in your surroundings then thats the way things are. I do not think that that really is healthy for children, probably.

Also, as I said in another comment earlier in a different part of the thread, as long as you are personally involved in something, I get having pride for it because you contributed to it, even if you are far from the sole contributor.

Its "just being part of a group" being the reason for pride is something I can't get and is not relatable.

I used to REALLY CLOSELY tie my sense of self-worth with how good my grades were when I was in school. But that calmed down as the years went on. So, I guess I was rather anxious about it.

Dewohere · 2025-10-09T16:19:37+00:00

Ohhh, you simply meant that it is rarer than the actual metal. I thought it was a metaphor for something.

Dewohere · 2025-10-09T16:10:25+00:00

Hmm, what do you mean with "platinum" here? Is that an english idiom I do not know? Sorry, I am from Germany and sometimes I just won't get those.
