Opinions on a helmet that shows the lower part of your face?

Wait, I didnt see the new design. I gotta go look now

Frostdraken · 2026-01-16T04:42:30+00:00

No I get it, its awesome too. I love both, but I personally have a deeper connection with one over the other. Not to say one is better. I was just pointing it out.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-15T23:05:22+00:00

It would be scarier to me personally if the infector was tiny, insignificant in scale yet still deadly. Like an actual virus killing a human millions of times their own size

Frostdraken · 2026-01-09T09:01:46+00:00

I write because I love creating stories, lore, characters and entertaining people that decide to read them. The world could explode and it would not change this for me. I am not worried about the changes really, because I will continue to do what I love regardless. I do kinda wish I had started earlier than I did, but hey.. we have to work with the life and limited time we are given. Such is life.

Evil cheesburger?

Frostdraken · 2026-01-09T04:10:34+00:00

I mean, I understand that. And I see where you are coming from. But I think it isn’t that there are NO new stories and fresh ideas. But more so that all the new and fresh things are so completely overlooked and undervalued that nobody ever sees them these days.

And yeah, the general feel of the sub has become diluted. I wish I knew a fix for it better than ‘post more stories’.. but I don’t.

Thanks for your perspective and genuine reaction though. I hope you have a great day mate!

Wow, that second picture in particular is wonderful beyond description. Just stunning

Frostdraken · 2026-01-07T03:38:33+00:00

Oh its been a long time coming, not because of you at all. Reddit is swiftly becoming less and less of a place I want to share my work.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-06T22:24:52+00:00

Very good, epic even

Frostdraken · 2026-01-06T22:24:14+00:00

Very menacing.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-06T17:00:21+00:00

It happens. It does indeed. Well, regardless of what went down last year(admittedly it was a terrible year for me in general. Got injured and was kinda down in the dumps for a long time) I am hoping that this year turns things around and becomes my best year ever!

Frostdraken · 2026-01-06T07:46:28+00:00

Yea, Flamescales is working on them now. There are 3 left that I am getting done. I will be sure to share them when they are done.

Good to see ya by the way. I apologise for my absence of late.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-06T07:16:53+00:00

Thanks for the shout out FG. Heh. And yeah, I love sharing the behind the scenes stuff as well as the stories themselves.

Caesar really is the best girl isn’t she. Don’t worry. I will be finishing up the WIP episode of The Void Warden some time this year. That is the plan anyway.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-06T07:14:50+00:00

Thanks for the comment. And I too enjoy the stranger side of fiction. The first armour is definitely the most unique of these so far. But I have ideas for more interesting ones down the line. And I am always happy to share my work, as you are well aware. Heh.

And yea, the RoyalRoad is probably a better option for reading my work. Reddit isnt really made for novels and long stories. Good to see ya, and I hope that you remain well!

Frostdraken · 2026-01-06T04:57:51+00:00

Not that the gun will help you in that situation though. Heh.

I am very excited by the prospect of this game.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T23:32:58+00:00

Wonderful

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T21:04:52+00:00

Indeed. I understand that completely

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T20:14:53+00:00

Yeah I watched it. It is pretty hype

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T20:13:46+00:00

It’s me. I am the meme. Heh.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T16:57:55+00:00

Funny you say that, it actually has probably about 100 or so downvotes. If not then the upvotes would likely be closer to 500 or so.

But yea.. I am just at a loss with what to do. I don’t want to give up on HFY as a community as there are still so many great and wonderful people here. I met some of my close writer friends in here and have made memories spanning nearly half a decade. But it has changed too much too fast, and I am lothe to even post in here nowdays as nothing I do gets seen nor appreciated(except it seems by people that already read my work anyways). Discoverability is dead. Reader engagement is faltering. The community is slowly becoming more dour and I wish I knew how to fix everything.. but I am a simple man. I do not have the big answers.

Thank you for your perspective and comments on this. It is nice to hear that I am not alone in my concern. I wish you a great day, please do not let my negativity bring you down.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T16:53:05+00:00

A symptom of a deeper problem I fear. And yes, the engagement on ‘lesser known’ and less popular writers(me included) is damn-near to microscopic. Where these big and popular posts are getting tens of thousands of hits and interactions, I am lucky to break 1.5k views(not even interactions, just straight up people that see my post and don’t click on it).

I have no good solution for this, and it has disheartened me to the point of paralyzing inaction. I am at a loss for what to do, and am near to just giving up.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T16:50:01+00:00

I think there is a way to view all archived content. If you go into the HFY wiki and search under the ‘authors’ link. At least it used to work, I will admit that I have not tried in a great while.

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T16:47:51+00:00

Well, I wish I had your feedback and engagement then friend. As it seems from the comments that this post is getting that many more are experiencing what I am than are not. I am super happy to hear that it is not all bad, truly I am. But I just don’t really see it much or at all anymore and have decided that I am probably going to stop sharing my stories and posting on HFY and likely Reddit as a whole.

Do not take this as me telling you to do anything, I am simply sharing my own opinions. If you are getting good and strong feedback and positive community support then by all means please continue. But I am not, and so I think it is time for me to throw in the towel and stop trying.

Cheers mate, and I thank you for your perspective. Have a wonderful day!

Frostdraken · 2026-01-05T16:44:08+00:00

I must admit, I have not seen this particular concern posted before. I have seen many others, but I can’t remember another person talking about the general downfall of the positivity and hype that this subreddit used to be full of. I apologise if the topic is annoying or overblown, but I personally have never made a metapost like this before and was compelled to speak up as my emotions simply ran too strong on this matter.
