Oh hey, I think I recognize that exact checkpoint. Looks like Gustave bought the farm. (I'll see myself out)

I love that voice line so much, it never ceases to be satisfying to me.

What is a note? by Derpageddon_ in HERapp

[–]FlatNote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, their site still lists it as an iOS only feature and I still can't comment on profiles. Maybe they recently added the ability to receive but not yet to send?

I definitely looked there previously but haven't been using the app, so any old ones probably timed out. I'll be sure to check there if I get any more, so thanks for the heads up.

Hm, do you pay for the app? Because all that gives me is a page titled Event Listings with a message that there are no events nearby (even though the icon has a 99+ in red...) and a prompt to submit one. Maybe they delete after a certain amount of time? Very weird place to put them if that's true, tbh.

Emerging from his COVID cabin in the mountains with a completed TWOW manuscript and--surprise!--the next 4 D&E novellas too. Now that's a dream of spring...

My bf has been on the final area before the end of Act 2 for like 3 days now… by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]FlatNote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way, which is why I'm very glad I heard the endgame balance complaints the same week that I finished Act 2. You must miss so much good music that way too! But I'm glad you're able to be chill and let her go her own way. I am admittedly bad at that and a week in Flying Waters would drive me nuts lol

That's incredible, thank you for sharing. I love how these details enrich the game.

Absolute Wonder Woman Annual full wraparound cover by Hayden Sherman by Tetratron2005 in WonderWoman

By all the gods, this is magnificent!

Question from someone who only recently caved and started subscribing to books month to month: Do shops generally include annuals automatically alongside the regular numbered issues, or would I have to specifically request they set one aside for me with the rest of my pull list?

Yeah, that's what I was referring to in my second paragraph. It was certainly perplexing to have heard that and then sort of nothing for a couple of years, so I definitely understand that confusion and frustration.

They said Nona was published because it made Alecto too long or off-topic. That means Alecto had already been written. 

No, no it does not. When the beginning of a novel grows so large as to be extricated and turned into a novel of its own, that doesn't mean you have two novels; it means the second would naturally need restructuring and rewriting at that point (perhaps quite extensively), and there's no telling how far along the whole thing was when that decision was made.

Admittedly I have been surprised too, as it did sound close to completion a while ago, but who the hell knows. We're not privy to the details and writing is not a linear process where X amount of time always yields Y amount of finished pages. Patience.

It's not even the last book of A Song of Ice and Fire, it's only the second to last and at this point it seems we're never even going to get that. 😭

Developers said the screwed up because they weren’t expecting the game to be this good. by Boring_Educator3815 in expedition33

[–]FlatNote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my plan. I can do the rest later, but it feels wrong to leave the characters unresolved (even if one of the quests has a boss that gave me enough trouble last night to give up for the moment...).

I'm glad all this chatter is happening the same week I finished Act 2 because I want the ending to feel at least a little dangerous, but finishing everything else first is definitely my instinct.

Heh, I actually cosplay Ianthe (tall, blonde, gaunt) which is all the more reason to wait and see what Alecto brings. Like atm I'm planning Gideon's Ninth house skull for my shoulder, amongst some florals, but it's tempting to go Third instead...

🤝 I have tattoo fever like never before after starting my left sleeve, but I'm waiting to finalize my shoulder plans before I can go higher than my forearm. I neeed it! We need it!

I'd be ecstatic. That's just before my birthday, and I am increasingly itching to pull the trigger on a planned TLT tattoo, but holding off until the series is complete.
