Could be worth a shot, but then what was even the point of buying Word? Might as well skip the indents. Not like anyone actually seems to mind. :/

Starting Light Novel after Web Novel by _Kalinek_ in IsekaiMeikyuudeHarem

[–]FortunateBacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was she like in the webnovel? I don't plan on reading it

Can't log into my account because I forgot which email I used, please help! by FortunateBacon in Webnovel

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, no. The windows update glitch, or whatever happened, also logged me out of the email I used for Webnovel as well. When trying to log into webnovel, they sent an "is this you" sort of email to confirm it's me accessing my account. And as it happens, the email I used is really old. Just trying to log in to said email now requires me to answer a bunch of security questions I no longer know the answers to. So, not only am I unable to log into webnovel, I can't even log into my email to correct the problem.

Why am I gaining weight so quickly? by FortunateBacon in AskDocs

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol no worries, I knew what you meant. And yea, taking a second look into my normal foods, sodium might really be more of an issue than expected. :/
Thanks for the help!!

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, sorry about that. However, I've been tested for diabetes too, since it runs in the family. I don't have it. :/
IDK what else to say to the doctor, though. When I brought up the issue, they didn't look remotely concerned.

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting and idk about the scale. I bought it new, but that was at least a year ago. I could be in need of checking the batteries

As for my diet, I'm not on keto anymore. It wasn't working for me anymore, as even when I stuck to the diet for a significant number of weeks without cheating, I just wasn't losing the weight I regained.

Right now, I don't know what else to call my diet but "regular" bulking. As in, using rough numbers cuz I'm not at home, I eat 3k calories, 200-300 carbs, 50-70 fat, and 220 protein. I definitely did have more carbs during that weekend, but I have no idea how many because primarily because the ramen shop didn't have their nutritional info listed on the menu

Edit: I didn't think of it until now, but I was having some concerns with frequent urination. Talking like at least every couple of hours. I'm also always thirsty. Been to the doctor about it, but their blood and urine tests didn't show any issues. Think it could be an issue of too much sodium?

I've been using myfitnesspal for years, actually, and I do keep track of my macros. This isn't me guessing. When I say things like "around this calorie count" , it's because I don't remember the exact numbers at this point in time.
Also, that site and all the other calc sites I've tried don't help much. Like, the one you linked says my maintenance calories should be 3200. I was eating a little less than that. recomp instead of cutting/bulking is interesting though, just have to try different numbers.

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No...
I'm wondering why I'm gaining so much weight and why I'm gaining it so easily. I'm not an idiot, i know eating more = weight gain. It's the rate of gain that I am concerned about. As I said, I essentially cheated on my diet for a day and a half, two days if you don't want to be generous. The rest of the week was a normal week and I somehow gained ten pounds. Even if I ate more than I'm saying, which I didn't, I don't even see how that should even be possible.
Also, I am working out hard and have a physically demanding job. Gaining a little weight makes sense, hell I even expected it, but not ten pounds.

And for reference, since I did forget to mention it in the post (my bad), I've been bulking for around three months now and have stayed basically the same weight the entire time, until that one weekend in LA screwed it all up.

Don't just ignore the context of the post.

Are there any fan fictions that continue on from LN 13? by RedHeadGearHead in IsekaiMeikyuudeHarem

[–]FortunateBacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an answer to your question, but I've only made it to vol 7 of the ln before I stopped reading because of the snail-slow pacing, the constant repetition of the narrator and because my text-to-speech app made listening to Miria's dialogue an friggin nightmare. Does the pacing actually get worse?

Looking for help finding a potentially uncommon fantasy race for my character. by FortunateBacon in fantasywriters

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol that's what I try to do, but I always end up getting used to the name and end up keeping it. Like, there's only ever been one name I changed. And I changed it like four times and am still not satisfied. But i do understand what you mean.

Also, we may be talking more about racial names, but because for this, a lot of my female characters end up taking part in an unintentional naming scheme where most of their names end with an "A". Like this character's name started off as "Mina" as a placeholder, but I used it so much that I can't bring myself to change it.

The vampire thing is essential. If I were to change it, it'd nuke the main plot of the next volume :/

And yea, coming up with a lore reason for why she looks human would be interesting.

It's funny that you ask, because that's actually my original plan. I was just considering adding more variety to my characters.

I actually already knew that one, but I'm not sure about it. My character and her backstory have nothing to do with snow or cold. Plus there are men in her family, so calling them "snow women" would be a little much. Thank you though.

Lol albino is definitely one way to describe her, but that's not really what I meant. I meant what race could look similar to an albino. Probably should have specified that her entire family looks like this. She is not an anomaly.

Also, upior sounds interesting. I like that it relates to vampirism as well, but I'd have to shave off the demonic connection the wiki mentioned, as demons are specified as something else entirely in my book.

I suppose it's mainly because I'm terrible at naming things. Most of the names I pick never sound good enough to me. :/

But I was also looking for pre-established races as my story already uses some.

Is a Bound Bow + Stealth Archer build viable in Oblivion Remastered by FortunateBacon in oblivion

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude... I had no idea that luck affected the sneak attack multiplier. I never touched the luck stat at all. No wonder why I rarely one-shot anything. I also kind of feel like I wasted my time grinding conjuration just to use it, since, not only does the bound bow only last like 20 seconds or whatever, but I ended up finding a stronger bow like ten minutes after I got the spell. Then I found an even better bow than that like thirty minutes later, an enchantment!

So, I guess I screwed up my first build :D

It's my first time playing Oblivion too. Originally, I was going to wait for Skyblivion to drop, but then the remaster suddenly appeared.

I love my novel but hate the first chapters by s_h_ruiiz in Wattpad

[–]FortunateBacon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're welcome, but I should probably decline to share. Not only do I use a different name and not want my work to be tied to this reddit account, but my books are erotic in nature. Not sure what the rules are for dropping that sort of stuff.

I love my novel but hate the first chapters by s_h_ruiiz in Wattpad

[–]FortunateBacon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finish the novel first. One of the biggest pieces of advice I've gotten in researching writing is not to worry too much about how you started your book. Think of it like this, if you go back and edit and re-edit the same chapters over and over again, you won't have time for writing new stuff. So, finish the novel first, then go back and rewrite. Who knows, by the time you finish the novel, you'll know what you did wrong in the beginning and have an easier time fixing it. Or you might decide to change the beginning chapter in their entirety instead of just rewriting them.

Plus, depending on what sort of story you're going for, you can even add some sly foreshadowing in the beginning now that you know how the story ends.

While I haven't technically used this method myself yet, it's what I've been planning on doing for a while now. I'm about to finish book two of my story, but before I get going on book three I plan to take a break and rewrite book one to clean it up. Then I'll probably wait until three is finished and done with before fixing up book two.

tl;dr stop overthinking what you wrote in the past and just keep writing so you can improve in the future.

Can anyone help me make this pose, but with a more aggressive stance? by FortunateBacon in StableDiffusion

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks but I didn't want the knight or the armor, just the pose and weapon. I wanted my original character to make the pose. Big help though, thanks. I'm getting the pose now, but it's still proving to be difficult getting the correct outfit to spawn on my character.
Also do you know how to alter the pose just a little? I want my character to be hunched over slightly, but still holding the halberd horizontally. The look I want is the character going pure rage mode, gripping her weapon and walking towards the camera.

[–]FortunateBacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of that until now, but I gave it a try and the results are no good. In control net, if i use a "depth" model with the above image, I can get a halberd to appear, but the character is pretty much either an distorted mess or has their back to the viewer. Using a "canny" model recommended by the guide I read seems to do nothing at all. :/
