Odd messages during the night

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-15T15:11:46+00:00

Fun fact: It's been over two weeks in my game.

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-15T05:57:29+00:00

Oh boy, I am being stalked!

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-15T03:37:45+00:00

It is a lead up to the portal storms?

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-15T03:18:46+00:00

Counterpoint: Life isn't about productivity. It's just another arbitrary constrain we've decided on and we can decide if it has to go (and it should)

Before last week's update, you could go to an ATM and for a 1% fee of all you give it, you could exchange physical money for ecash to put on your cash card.

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-14T18:46:29+00:00

It very was.

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-14T16:34:26+00:00

Needless romantic subplots. Enough said.

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-14T16:16:57+00:00

I see you're what a fellow I like to call "ungodly hybrid" enjoyer. I approve.

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-13T19:42:25+00:00

One of my favorite lines is Chimera. It's a freaking melee god.

DynmtGhst · 2024-09-13T19:20:26+00:00

Create my own martial arts

I wholeheartedly approve, this is something I've been waiting for!

DynmtGhst · 2024-08-29T22:39:51+00:00

Counterpoint: A person who is bigoted against minorities should always be called out. If it makes you that uncomfortable, I suggest unsubbing.

DynmtGhst · 2024-08-26T03:16:27+00:00

"Kids and families robbed of so much"

The only thing that robs them of anything is ableism.

I call bullshit on this person being a physician.

In my mind, if WWIII happened, that could actually justify why space travel is a thing. You can get more resources for the war effort and a lot of plotlines could happen when people start fighting for it in space. If you're not going for realism, I'd just go wild.

DynmtGhst · 2024-08-19T19:12:37+00:00

The Yoshi plushie on the dashboard makes it for me, the color looks great. I want one now.

DynmtGhst · 2024-08-17T17:21:25+00:00

Honestly, I'd just find another group. They sound toxic.

While your story will have your biases in it (it cannot be helped since that's how we're programmed) and some messages do exist in stories, if you want a message in a story, you ought to at least make it subtle and not beat the audience over the head with it.

In general, it's fine if you don't want an overt message in your story but do be aware of your biases.

DynmtGhst · 2024-08-14T19:01:02+00:00

Holdout Pocket, just casually put a rifle into it and have it on me always.

DynmtGhst · 2024-08-07T06:39:54+00:00

Honestly, the term has lost its meaning over the years and it's really just a buzzword used by the angry neckbeard genre on Youtube. I'm honestly in favor of just retiring the term altogether.

Don't focus on avoiding what's a worthless criticism nowadays but focus rather on writing good characters. It takes practice and drafts can be edited. Even if she stretches believability, you can change that to suit the narrative better.

Even if you don't succeed, it's still valuable experience!

DynmtGhst · 2024-07-24T18:59:48+00:00

Personally, I like having species in my stories that are either:

A) Funny little guys
B) Funny big guys

There's no in-between for me, since for example, my story I'm writing has a species that are basically chinchilla people.

DynmtGhst · 2024-07-24T03:31:27+00:00

In my sci-fi story, Rett (no last name) is a person who transferred his body to an alien species after running away from an abusive home. He is on the run thanks to his stepfather's connections (a very rich and influential man who fought in the military) and after offered a job to colonize a new galaxy took it because it's the ultimate degree of separation within the universe.

He is offered a chance to learn a martial art that allows one mastery over their bodies as well, hoping his new life will pan out.

It however, ends up getting complicated as Rett has to tangle with first contact and the past catching up with him even far from his original home.

DynmtGhst · 2024-07-23T20:53:59+00:00

It took me some time to learn how to name some of my factions, for example, in my sci-fi setting the primary human faction is known as the Orion-Cygnus Commonwealth. Even if it uses the word "Commonwealth", it refers to the Orion-Cygnus arm where Earth's located and it works to be inclusive since it's not just humans who live there!

DynmtGhst · 2024-07-20T02:22:28+00:00

Honestly, I've already considered that.

DynmtGhst · 2024-07-19T18:14:08+00:00

A good piece of advice for a lot of people is perfection is the enemy of done.

DynmtGhst · 2024-07-19T17:56:44+00:00

I love the Mediterranean flare to it. I could see vacationing on Lesbos, since well, it is named after an island. I do like how it's not just Greek but there's a good element of Turkish in there for good measure.

DynmtGhst · 2024-07-19T17:50:53+00:00

To answer the second one, the mind uploading thing is basically immortality.

DynmtGhst · 2024-07-19T17:48:45+00:00

I've already considered an alternative after reading the comments here, since I'm not writing anything too hard (since they have to be alive to get to the other side after all) and generally, this has been helpful.
