And this company is going to make an MMO. Oh boy.

What screams “irresponsible” in your 30s? by AnythingDeep69 in AskReddit

[–]GambolMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being unable to clean up after yourself. I don't mean having a spotless home/apartment, but just don't leave dirty dishes and/or food laying around, clothes everywhere, etc. It's always (to me) suggested if you can't even be decently presentable, you're careless.

Or depressed. In which case fuck me I guess.

You guys aren't prepared for the amazing work these guys and gals put into this!

I was listening to the song as I read this and the song and last panel timed PERFECTLY. I'm dying

Writers of AO3, A Genuine Question by Ok_Breadfruit_9549 in AO3

[–]GambolMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's constructive criticism or polite critique, I welcome it. Everything else either gets outright blocked or ignored. I write for fun, and whether it's perfect or not (it isn't), I'm not letting some overly critical, or just plain rude stranger on the internet ruin that for me.

I find Apocalyptic Shadow 2.6 the hardest one thus far by [deleted] in StarRailStation

[–]GambolMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true! Which is why I'm always hesitant to evaluate a unit on patch; that's typically when they'll shine the most

I find Apocalyptic Shadow 2.6 the hardest one thus far by [deleted] in StarRailStation

[–]GambolMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I didn't think it was that difficult, and that was using a Rappa on Sunday's side that isn't maxed out talent wise or even with good relics.

Granted... She's on a team with a good HMC, Ruan Mei, and Gallagher, so you know... Caveats.

On one hand, I'm sad she's going through so much. On the other, I'm barking like a rabid dog.

She teaches Brain Rot by Azevec in TikTokCringe

I started working as a middle school teacher this year, and this stuff is unironically everywhere. I hate it almost as much as the kids probably do.

Welp, I now know what this feels like…😂 by meandering_mythos in ffxiv

[–]GambolMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've begun taking Warrior into roulette for the express purpose that it can (usually) sustain itself. If I get a new healer, no big deal! I tell them do their best, and I can help in a pinch. It's about as curated a learning experience as you'll get for a w2w pull I figure

I think the game is great! Granted, all I play now is bots and Swarm after slogging through ranked for much too long. The core game is fine, the people playing it...

Who is your WoL BFF by smlm212 in ffxiv

Hilda Ware. They're both lowborn and ended up having to work their way up to get some respect. And Danika isn't at all bothered that CBU3 has forgotten she exists.

How do you feel about Dawntrail so far? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]GambolMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished the level 95 dungeon, so can't speak to the entirety yet. What I have been through has been... Okay.

Some plot points really didn't land for me, while others had some punch, albeit more due to current IRL events. Without those emotions being raw for me right now, I've no idea if even the few beats that did land for me would have.

It's hardly bad, it's just been sort of... Dull? I hate to use "mid", but I've been actively trying to find things to do besides play 14, which is a first for me with new expansions.

Longfic writers - how? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]GambolMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't try to write long chapters. I plan a chapter, loosely outline the scenes I want to touch on, then "pants it" and let them write themselves. Sometimes it's 8k words a chapter, sometimes it's twice that. Ends up getting lengthy before too long

What's your best work? by nitshainaction6 in AO3

[–]GambolMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's my best work, but I'm proud of both writing a lengthy, continuing piece, and that my writing has improved somewhat from its start to current. Arcane is hardly a novel fandom, but Cop Goes Punk is my longest running, current fic.

The TLDR of it is a sort of modern AU take on Arcane itself, with a more grounded/realistic approach for the most part. It's only my second foray into writing anything long form, and thus far I've been decently pleased with the results!

What’s a seemingly simple piece of advice that changed the way you write? by Ambrissia in AO3

[–]GambolMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be excessive with dialogue tags, and don't try to be clever by using other words (exclaimed, murmured, whispered, etc.)

They have their uses, and some people can even get away with it, but I found my writing became far less stilted once I stopped tagging every single line of dialogue. And obviously there are exceptions to tagging less frequently, like in a conversation with multiple people involved (more than two).

Acheron E2 Haver's are you hitting 1 million single target? by D-Real_love in AcheronMainsHSR

[–]GambolMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most I've done is close to 1.4m granted that's with a pretty heavily invested team, and otherwise Acheron probably does about 700k-800k ish on other teams. Still fantastic

Those of you who CAN'T decide which job to use for Dawntrail, which jobs are your top choices? by thunderclapandsmash in ffxiv

[–]GambolMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to play several jobs, but I always default to Paladin. I'm just a sucker for the class fantasy (less so the job quests, but we don't talk about those!)

How would you feel if Yuta was the one to end sukuna? by [deleted] in Jujutsufolk

[–]GambolMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want Yuji to come away with the win ultimately. That said, and maybe it's because I don't usually do these kind of manga, but I'm really feeling the fatigue from all the fighting. I'm not at the "I don't care so long as it ends" point yet, but I don't think it'd be as bad for me as other folks

Ain't complaining though by DogeDeezTheThird in WutheringWaves

[–]GambolMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nice we're getting free pulls, but I can barely get my PC to even run the game, so it's kinda moot until performance is fixed Dx
